Comments

  1. Besides Colbert, CBS Radio is also signing off, although I believe CBS Radio was mainly down to the top of the hour news casts. A far cry from the Columbia Broadcasting System of 100 years ago, or 80 years ago that kept Americans informed of monumental developments in WW2, like D-Day. Although breaking news that morning was Bob Trout repeating over and over after each development they got off the short wave, no official Alliee confirmation.

  2. Dumbfuck’s celebrating of Wall Street is getting to be like that New York Times Pitchbot Joker.

    “American’s are buying gas 1/3 tank at a time, putting off oil changes and cancelling the 8 hour drive to Grandma’s house. Here’s why that’s electoral doom for Democrats.”

    Poll shows voter confidence in economy plummeting to a nearly
    4-year low

  3. If Israel wants war with Iran, then it should do it without any American assistance or support.

    America really has no reason to attack Iran or engage in Israel’s “Greater Israel” project.

  4. You would think that religious people would speak out against the annhilation of humanity.

    Get rid of these robots.

    This is the downfall of civilization. Why even talk about the falling birth rate when you no longer need humans.

    If you are Heterosexual and against gay people because they can’t reproduce (which we can – my cock has been inside many woman, one of whom though I inprenated her) and aren’t concerned about this, you argument against gains is complete bullshit.

  5. @3 Pars. War isn’t the only problem, today’s technological gains in AI and Robotics will have more impact then 50,000 Americans dying in a war.

    People of political divide want you to be crapping about everything but what you really need to be concerned with.

    You are your own demise.

  6. @2

    That’s why Don Pedo Jesus and the rest of the Pedo Klan will rig the elections. Or simply have another insurections, after all their are no longer any consequence and who can stop that (Rhetorical question – I know what can stop it, Americans are just too stupid to stop it)?

    This time the Insurection will get the help of our own military, thanks to Hegseth.

  7. The woman who rigged the 2015-16 DNC primary in favor of #CrookedHillary uses a Barack poster in the background to announce her candidacy for the only black-majority district House seat in Florida:

    Debbie Wasserman Schultz
    @DWStweets

    Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Florida’s 20th congressional district.

    I’ll continue to use my seniority in Washington to make Broward a safer, less expensive place to live, raise a family, and retire. We cannot let Trump and DeSantis take away Broward County’s power.

    6:42 AM · May 22, 2026

    But if Debbie Downer has her way, voters will let a white Jew take power away from Florida’s black citizens Democrats claim to protect.

    Vulnerable black citizens of Florida need not fear, tho. Byron McDonald stands ready to protect them.

  8. @ 2

    Poll shows voter confidence in economy plummeting to a nearly
    4-year low

    Stated differently, voter confidence in the economy was lower four years ago than it is now.

    In no small part because inflation was substantially higher four years ago than it is now.

  9. @ 3

    If Israel wants war with Iran, then it should do it without any American assistance or support.

    The Fetid One wants Israel to nuke Tehran.

  10. @ 5

    Well, we as a society certainly have done well despite 700,000 of our homosexual Americans hedonistically passing a virus among themselves and then dying of AIDS.

  11. Well, we as a society certainly have done well despite 700,000 of our homosexual Americans hedonistically passing a virus among themselves and then dying of AIDS.

    Ohhhh go suck on the horse’s cock you boot licking Nazi.

  12. How many womand were killed and beaten by their fucking Neanderthal handlers, over that same period of 700,000.

    You are big on statistics, go find it Caveman.

  13. Utterly predictable:

    Tina Peters:
    “That the Democrats are censoring Polis is iron clad proof an election rigging conspiracy took place and the evidence was in the machines I tried to steal.”

    (My dude, she was given the sentence because at trail because she was unremorseful and insisted the election was stolen and it was her right and duty to commit a felonies.)

  14. AZ Republic has screenshots of Then County Sheriff now Senate nominee Mark Lamb sending unsolicited sexts, engaging ‘hotwifing’ with other married men, threatening women who went to LDS leaders about his harassment and LDS communications about what to do with the swinging Sheriff as his inappropriate behavior had been well known for years.

  16. WE SUPPORT THE TRIOPS!

    Hegseth (the Pentagon) citing budgeting concerns axed 34 combat medical courses from training standards AND leadership courses for officer level medics.

    You would know about that if not for Donnie testing AI images of Ro Kahana with fangs and the caption ‘Don’t let sleazebag Ro Kahana on Fox News’

  18. ✨Readers added context✨

    More recently over 1.2 million “conservatives” hedonistically passed a virus among themselves and then died of COVID.

  19. voter confidence in the economy was lower four years ago than it is now

    Can someone remind me what happened in those midterm elections four years ago?

  20. Three months on the job Chief of Criminal Division DOJ Mancusso files motion to dismiss post conviction sedition cases against ‘Proud Boys’.

  21. @7 Vulnerable black citizens of Florida need not fear, tho. Byron McDonald stands ready to protect them.

    Even when you tell jokes, you’re unfunny.

  22. @8 In no small part because inflation was substantially higher four years ago than it is now.

    Inflation was higher four years ago for a reason: Pandemic supply chain disruptions. Inflation is rising now for no good reason and a lot of bad ones. That’s the real difference between a Democratic administration and the Trump administration.

  23. @9 If they were going to nuke Iran, they would have done it during the forty years they waited for an American president to come along who’s stupid enough to assist them in their enterprise of attacking Iran.

  24. @11 He’s just celebrating death again. And boy, does he get his rocks off on 700k dead in one fell swoop. His love of death and dying may have had some bearing on him getting kicked out of the radiology lab. I can’t imagine anyone in the medical profession entrusting him with human health or human lives. They discovered the only thing he’s useful for is pithing lab lizards.

  26. More recently over 1.2 million “conservatives” hedonistically passed a virus among themselves and then died of COVID.

    Love that for them❤️❤️❤️❤️

  27. Fat Hitler is not attending his son’s wedding because the Bahamian border security do not grant entry to convicted sex offenders.

  28. Democratic Socialist Chris Rabb finished 15 points ahead of the field in the primary race for Philadelphia’s PA-03 seat, despite millions spent opposing him and the PA’s moderate Democrats lining up against him.

  30. 29,

    You ass wipes have been saying that about Mamdani for over a year.

    Real New Yorkers are thrilled with him so far. He’s doing exactly what he said he would do. He’s staying focused, working with everyone, and making the city more affordable and more livable for regular, working class people, all while bringing the budget that Eric Adams broke back under control.
    Sure, he’s pissing off a handful of billionaires who believe the city should cater to them exclusively. But nobody cares.🥳.

    Sorry for you that you do. You obviously are no billionaire. And it’s always sad to see victims like you take up their cause. They do not own us. And they really need us far more than we need them. Stop falling for it and you’ll be much happier.

    Rabb is the nominee. That makes him the winner in November. So what does that mean come January? One more vote to reform the Democratic House leadership, retire the ancient old guard, stop the catering to billionaires and Israel, really raise the federal minimum wage, really raise taxes on the top 5%, support single payer healthcare, cut off funding for the MAGA Sport Wars, sensible immigration reform, shut down the concentration camps, restore the Voting Rights Act, and reform the corrupt federal courts. And for voters in PA-03 that’s all good news.

  32. The Democrats won’t take her back, and Trump doesn’t want her anymore, so she has nowhere to go but obscurity. Bye, Tulsi, don’t let the door hit your ass on your way out!

  33. It looks like Iran gets to control the Strait and Donnie will release $24B in frozen Iranian accounts.

    It was, like, 9 years ago ‘giving Iran $1.8b shipping containers of cash’ was the worst deal ever and needed tearing up.

    No one has ever asked me to take a dementia test.

  37. So, we are going to get to keep the Strait and charge $1Million per vessel fees in perpetuity, we get all of our sanctioned assets restored, and we get to keep our nuclear enrichment.

    And in return for these huge concessions we must agree to have the U.S. and Israel stop bombing us?

    Um, okay.

  39. Talarico in a landslide.

    The COO of Commerce (TX) school board caught on video texting

    Hispanics everywhere. Every other name is Mexican. ICE should raid this graduation

    at a district high school graduation ceremony.

  40. We will see!

    Yeah, bro.
    You’ve been saying that same shit about Mamdani for well over a year as well.

    So far real, actual New Yorkers are very happy with what they are seeing. And people in lots of other big cities are becoming a little jealous even, while voter awareness and popularity of the DSA is higher than it’s ever been. So, another great take. Bravo.

    You threaten us with good times.

  42. 37,

    Since MAGA cult chuds and other “conservative” seem to struggle so much with math, maybe we should break down what $1Million per transit works out to.

    At 30,000 transits per year (low estimate) that brings in $30Billion per year in new revenue the IRGC can now use to build their own space program with ICBM potential, upgraded air defense systems, and an almost infinite supply of even more capable drone weapons for the next time some stupid, fuck wit MAGA “conservative” decides to fuck around.

    Well done, MAGA. We now have to try to survive in a much more dangerous world, thanks to genius Republicans. And big thanks for pissing away a trillion U.S. tax dollars on a war nobody needed. 👍 You suck.

  43. Sorry Senator Tillis. You could have had some dignity BEFORE you quit.

    To call Paxton ‘ethically challenged’ is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder. He’s gonna be an anchor on our caucus
    …
    Hegseth makes Kristy Noem look like a five star recruit.

    Tull’s: “I knew all these people were horribly unqualified when I voted to confirm them to posts where they could maximize harm.”

  44. A more truthful way for Iran to say this is, “The president is a doddering fool in the last stage of life and due to dementia others are running the country without keeping him informed.”

    @FarsNews_Agency
    • Translated from Persian Show original

    It should be noted that American officials have acknowledged in multiple messages to Iran that Trump’s tweets are primarily for promotional purposes and media consumption within the United States, and they have recommended that no attention be paid to these statements.

  46. 41,

    “Iran’s embassy in India responded to Rubio on social media, saying Tehran has an ‘inalienable’ right to nuclear technology. Iran has always insisted its program is peaceful while enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels.”

    So probably lying again.

    Missed the news cycle timing because Fat Hitler is ill and completely exhausted.

    At least we can celebrate that the lying troll has already placed his options orders. 😂

  47. @44,

    As an additional caution, reports you may read in your domestic media that we will be paying to build your president’s new ballroom are highly exaggerated, to say the least.

    On the other hand, if you allow us to build it according to our own design and specifications using materials we supply without any oversight….

  48. The kreepfuck has suffered from AI psychosis before there was any AI.

    The Menendez “underage hookers” psychotic break was a big clue.

    Btw, kreepshit has used “fat cow” three times since 10/5/2025.

    Just letting the “minder” know.

  49. Two things explain why Colbert’s show lost $40 million per year.

    • Colbert’s salary
    • The number of people in this photo.

    Next up: Kimmel.

  50. This is a church, and this is a steeple.
    Open the doors and see all of the libbies who were suckered into believing Joe Biden was competent.

    We lost $40 million a year. We didn’t lose it because the show failed. We lost it because we spent $50 million producing what a podcast host in his garage gives away between mattress ads. The podcast is funnier. The podcast is more dangerous. The podcast has an audience that laughs instead of claps. But we had the Ed Sullivan Theater. We had 461 seats. We had a former Beatle play the farewell episode. Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Jon Batiste, and Louis Cato playing “Hello, Goodbye” like it was a benediction. I booked a Beatle for a funeral. The Beatles played that stage in 1964 and the audience screamed so loud you couldn’t hear the music. Our audience didn’t scream. They wept politely. That’s the difference between entertainment and church. We ran a church.

  51. Joe Biden was competent.

    So competent, cocaine Mitch was happy to take infrastructure munee for its state unlike tub of lard Christie who wouldn’t take the black guy’s munee for better rail transport.. And then was only too happy to get help for hurricane Sandy and then all the klownservaturds dumped on him – he hugged a black guy!

    So competent, the SPR was raped to better effect than the child rapist in chief’s taking it in the ass from Mossad.

  52. If Colbert and Kimmel had told 1/10 as many Biden incoherence jokes as they told Trump jokes, Democrats would have had a real primary in 2024.

  54. Burp.

    John Oliver said “At some point, this may come for all of our shows” and then added “but Stephen, what’s important to remember is that tonight, it is going to eat you.” The audience laughed again. Involuntary again. Two moments of actual comedy in a three-hour farewell. Both of them about death.

    Link @ 50

  55. We lost it because we spent $50 million producing what a podcast host in his garage gives away between mattress ads.

    Congratulations, idiot.

    You just explained to the new Chairman why the broadcast network division of his media empire is essentially worthless. And perhaps why he might as well leave Bari Weiss exactly where she is so she can take the blame.

  56. @ 55

    … he might as well leave Bari Weiss exactly where she is so she can take the blame.

    Good point. I mean, that’s the same reason DOCTOR Jill Biden told her husband to endorse Boxcheck Momala. The way she did it even game Joe the ability to respond, “You guys took me seriously?” when it was all over.

  57. Say, why aren’t you libbies still talking about the San Diego mosque shooters?

    The manifesto not go your way?

  59. Why don’t you talk about The Heterosexual Neanderthal Virus?

    What’s the matter cat got your 👅

  60. Platner’s PR guy reached out to the Bar Stool Sports guy – a Jew, he – about softball chat with Maine’s Democrat candidate for US Senate:

    “What’s that mean? You reached out to a Jew to poo-poo a Nazi,” Portnoy fired back. “I’m not Bernie Sanders.”

    “If your boy isn’t a Nazi and can handle me 1-on-1 in a convo, set it up. If he can’t, you should fire yourself for thinking I’d want to glamorize this clown.

    It didn’t go well for Platner’s PR guy.

  61. @ 58

    Measles kills more than 500 children in Bangladesh

    In 2023 AIDS killed 293 people in Bangladesh.

    In 2024 AIDS killed 326 people in Bangladesh.

    G-clown’s take on this is that if he vacations in Bangladesh he’ll be able to find a bar in Dhaka that caters to his urge to be bent over and taken bareback and anonymously.

    Because G-clown has been vaxxed for measles.

  62. Say, why aren’t you libbies still talking about the San Diego mosque shooters?

    The manifesto not go your way?

    According to the Murdoch Post..

    a shocking, hate-filled manifesto, which praised Adolf Hitler and a slew of mass murderers, before the attack, The California Post has learned.

    https://nypost.com/2026/05/19/us-news/manifesto-reveals-motive-behind-islamic-center-of-san-diego-shooting/

    It went totally YOUR way..

    We HAers don’t cotton to those you kneepad for..

    yawwwn. another day in the country that klownservaturdism hath wrought..

  63. Again from the Murdoch Post:

    The opinions therein are a nonsensical collection of anti-Trump, anti-liberal, antisemitic, homophobic and misogynistic bile — tied together only by the authors’ fury that they were not given more in life.

    The only difference here is that kreepfuck kneepads for orange pants shitter and the shooters thought pants shitter was too weak … and kneepads for Israel if only to get all the Jews back to Israel so that Jeebus comes back.

  64. In 2028 a recently widowed Tulsi Gabbard will be the RNC vice presidential nominee.

    In 2029 she will be the second woman and the first Pacific Islander to become vice president.

    In 2079 people will still be talking about her epic vice presidential debate clash with DNC nominee AOC, the same way we still talk about The War.

  65. Globally, an estimated 50,000 women and girls are killed by intimate partners or family members every year, averaging 137 deaths every single day. This accounts for nearly 60% of all intentional homicides targeting women worldwide.Data highlights the scale of this issue:

    Global Scale: According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, a woman or girl is killed by a partner or family member roughly every 10 minutes.

    United States: Approximately 3 women are killed by an intimate partner every day in the United States, and over half of all female homicide victims in the country are killed by current or former partners.

    European Union: In the EU, the intentional homicide rate for women killed by family members or intimate partners sits at about \(4.1\) deaths per million women.

    But Bob would rather you not talk about this.

    There is no cure or vaccine

  66. @ 65

    … averaging 137 deaths every single day.

    G-clown spouts this number as if it wasn’t well below 10% of the number of daily deaths from AIDS that he has helped cause.

  67. In 2029 she will be the second woman and the first Pacific Islander to become vice president.

    And first veep who is an adherent to a bizarre cult, i.e. the Chris Butler VP..

    In that regard, very consonant with her running mate, jerkoff dickbraned BOWMAN, who adheres to the cult of Thiel and Yarvin.. (Roman Catholic? Yeah right, just ask the Pope)…

  69. Sub-Saharan Africa: Eastern and Southern Africa remain the most severely affected areas. Despite major improvements in recent years, these regions still account for the highest total numbers of deaths globally.

    Yes, where moms are transmitting to their babies after heterosexual sex

  70. New HIV infections have been reduced by 61% since the peak in 1996.
    ­ In 2024, 1.3 million [1 million–1.7 million] people were newly infected with HIV, compared to 3.4 million [2.7 million–4.3 million] people in 1996.
    ­ Women and girls accounted for 45% of all new infections in 2024.

  71. G-clown thinks @ 69 Bangladesh is in Africa.

    Who wants to be the one to tell G-clown that not all starving darker-skinned people are from the same part of the world?

    Hey, in his defense the only skin color that matters to G-clown is the foreskin color.

  72. 22 seconds of the whitest privilege you’ll ever see.

    NBC10 Boston
    @NBC10Boston

    NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent Julie Tsirkin was preparing to report from the White House when multiple shots could be heard being fired nearby.

    4:27 PM · May 23, 2026
    ·

  73. Annie Lowery, aka Mrs. Ezra Klein, has lost the plot.

    Americans are expressing some of the deepest, broadest, and stubbornest economic pessimism ever recorded.

    With you so far..

    They’re doing so even though nearly every American who wants a job has one and the stock market is booming. Things aren’t perfect, and people have plenty of reasons to be disappointed. But I couldn’t come up with a coherent explanation for why people are this down about an economy this good, or why they are so mad right now.

    Huh?

    I feel obligated to harp on an unpopular and perhaps even offensive truth—a truth that Americans don’t want to hear and don’t want to believe, a truth that might get me ripped apart in the comments and actually-ed across the internet: This economy is delivering significant improvements in living standards for the majority of American families across the income spectrum. This economy is pretty darn great.

    People are spending more than they ever have on rent and health care, sure, but also on DoorDash and meals in restaurants, vacations, cars, pets, clothing, and “wellness”—concierge doctors, supplements, red-light masks. Part of the reason app-based gambling has taken off is because dudes are flush enough to afford stupid prop bets.

    http://archive.today/2026.05.2.....my/687278/

    And yet as she details, American are EXTREMELY UNHAPPY..

    Why? Here’s why:

    American household debt is on a relentless upward trajectory. It was at a record $18.20 trillion by 2025, up $4.6 trillion since 2019. It includes $12.80 trillion owed on mortgage loans, $1.64 trillion in auto loans, $1.63 trillion on student loans and $1.18 trillion in credit card debt.

    Delinquency rates – accounts that are 30 days or more behind on a payment – are also on the rise, with 4.3% of debt in some stage of delinquency.

    With 90% of Americans having some form of debt, you likely can see yourself in those statistics. It’s even more likely if you’re between 30 and 59, or female, Black, or have kids.

    https://www.debt.org/faqs/americans-in-debt/demographics/

    Been on that “upward trajectory” for years. Since 1973, the typical American can’t get ahead. At the same time, the financial system has made it easier for them to borrow and get further into debt.

    So you have kids, you want your kids to have at least the basics so strapped parents have no choice but to charge those “basics” on the card. Housing prices and rents kept rising – that means bigger mortgage payments and yet more usage of credit to tide one over till the EITC check comes in or the seasonal moonlighting job pays off, the side gig, whatever..

    Young dudes are making stupid prop bets in desperation to cover their bar tabs or make the rent.

    Not once does one see the words “credit card” in her article. What a disappointment.

  74. I mean, that’s the same reason DOCTOR Jill Biden told her husband to endorse Boxcheck Momala. The way she did it even game Joe the ability to respond, “You guys took me seriously?” when it was all over.

    Remind us if you would, how that worked out?

    You really are an idiot.

    You just confirmed everything I posted.
    And considering the massive payout that Colbert and his very large staff successfully negotiated out of your fellow idiots at CBS, he got out clean and looking good just in time. It’s obviously too late for you. Go get yourself another beer to numb the dawning failure.

  75. the kreepfuck just babbled about the neo-nazi mosque shooter manifesto.. well here’s one that’ll warm its heart even more:

    ICE Recruitment Tweets Are So Racist That Cops Feared They Could Incite Neo-Nazi Violence..

    Colorado law enforcement officials warned their counterparts across the country that social media posts by the Department of Homeland Security recruiting for ICE contained so many white supremacist themes that they could endanger the public, according to internal records obtained by The Intercept.

    Colorado officials singled out tweets mimicking memes popular in right-wing online subcultures, referencing the rhetoric, lyrics and tropes commonly used by violent white supremacists, neo-Nazis and the Third Reich. The social media campaign drew widespread criticism, with groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center alleging that DHS “is using white nationalist imagery and language to recruit new employees and arrest immigrants.” DHS has defended its online tactics as “bold and effective.”

    https://theintercept.com/2026/05/21/ice-dhs-social-media-white-supremacist-violence

    “Bold and effective”, i.e. “spine”, just the type of shit that has molded kreepshit into the “domestic embarrassment” of widbee.

  76. @ 75

    … the federally indicted Southern Poverty Law Center alleging that DHS “is using white nationalist imagery and language to recruit new employees and arrest immigrants.”

    Tell me, YLB, what did SPLC claim about Ben Carson and what was the fallout from that?

    Then, YLB, what did SPLC claim about the Armenian genocide and what was the fallout from that?

    Next time, YLB, when you have an opportunity to mention “groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center alleging” just about anything, to improve your credibility mention one of those other groups, and not SPLC.

    In other words, YLB, when presented the opportunity be less unserious.

  77. @ 73

    Since 1973, the typical American can’t get ahead. At the same time, the financial system has made it easier for them to borrow and get further into debt.

    This from an unserious individual who has spent the last decade-plus begging for the government to make it easier for young people to obtain loans – which is going into debt – in order to buy first homes.

    YLB, the financial system gave you what you wanted. Hell, it gave Bill Clinton what he wanted when his Congress passed and he signed the Community Reinvestment Act. But because people won’t stop borrowing until they have filled every room in their homes with 65″ flat screens and filled their two-car garages with a second Volvo, YLB complains about the easier borrowing.

    Why did I mention Bill Clinton among all of the presidents since 1973? This is why:

    Predatory lending was not an invention of the Bush administration. High-interest payday loans and subprime mortgages took off under Clinton. The morals of the marketplace were once again, “Buyer beware.” Many loans, tellingly referred to as “teaser loans,” were structured so that the monthly mortgage payments would start off low and rise significantly in the future, even while the overall loan amount—the outstanding principal—would also rise. The borrower would end up worse off several years into the mortgage than when the loan began.

    But none of this was considered overly problematic by the Clinton White House. There was simply too much money to be made by lenders, brokers, bankers, bond insurers, ratings agencies, engineers of securitized assets, and managers of special investment vehicles and hedge funds. There was also too much to be gained by elected officials and regulators looking the other way.

    By 1995, the subprime loan market had reached $90 billion in loan volume, and it then doubled over the next three years. Rising loan volume led to a significant deterioration in loan quality. Meanwhile, by March 1998, the number of subprime lenders grew from a small handful to more than fifty. Ten of the twenty-five largest subprime lenders were affiliated with federally chartered bank holding companies, but federal bank regulators remained unconcerned.

    Debt is a good thing. Debt gets you out of bed in the morning, or at least it used to. One of today’s challenges is that people in YLB’s childrens’ generation would rather roll over and sign up for another credit card instead of go to work and pay down the balances on the cards they already have.

    Their parents and their public school teachers deserve the blame, not “the financial system”.

  78. @76 waddabout waddabout wadda… Anything there about the text of the ICE tweets?

    Any criticism of Colorado LE?

    Nope, unserious boob just takes a silly cheap shot at SPLC – this time using another pants shitter DOJ hit job bound to fail in court.

    SPLC in its time has offended too many of the future recipients of pants shitter’s “weaponization” slush fund that even repukes in the Congress can’t stomach.

    “domestic embarrassment” of widbee indeed.. yawwwn..

  79. Debt gets you out of bed in the morning, or at least it used to.

    BIG YAWWNN.. And look at how unhappy Americans are.. Well documented in the Lowery article.

    Is widbee’s domestic embarassment in debt? It’s for sure ass unhappy… What other reason brings it to HA other than then a gradual buildup to whine about its taxes?

    their public school teachers deserve the blame

    LMAO.. the same public school teacher that just the other day kreepfuck said “sharpens the intelligence” of their charges.

    When it’s not scapegoating.. what a fucking dumbass is our widbee “domestic embarrassment”..

  81. @75 I don’t think it’s any accident, or dumbfuckery, that ICE is recruiting Nazis. That’s exactly the kind of people they want for this job. Think a brown version of Warsaw Ghetto.

  83. @77 Debt gets you out of bed in the morning

    “I owe, I owe, so off to work I go …” (set to a Disney tune)

    A couple of observations.

    First, I have no debt, and I don’t get out of bed in the morning. Neither do you, I suspect, given you don’t have a job to go to, and never will, even if you wanted to be a doctor again.

    Second, neither Clinton nor Obama (and specifically Eric Holder) covered themselves with glory by enabling the banksters and then — despite massive, systemic fraud — nobody was ever prosecuted for liar loans and fraudulent foreclosures.

    Finally, let’s just say the 2007 subprime crisis and the 2008 financial crisis it spawned was not deregulation’s finest hour.

  85. Definitely a Holiday Weekend when Metro is not throwing Diesel-hybrids on trolley routes.I guess the $1000 deposit contractors havr to pay for the OCS to be turned off doesn’t cover holiday pay. It’s not as simple as flippant switch at Power Distribution’s control room. It requires turning off individual substations and locking them out, then installing running jumps on span wires. The aerial version of call before you dig. Personally, with the battery upgrade boosting off wire range, Metro should use it. Currently one of the few routes they run a trolley off wire is the 43, probably because it only runs a few times a day, as a revenue service run for Rt44 coaches.(44 runs UW to Ballard via 45th and Market).

  86. People vastly more qualified than you in legal matters say so.

    Remember who you are commenting to.

    The stupid lying troll thinks “federal removal” somehow means state charges go away.
    Someone doesn’t have to be especially qualified in legal matters to surpass the average MAGA cult chud. Remember that most of his J6 terrorist heroes got themselves convicted by actively live streaming and recording themselves committing felonies.

  87. I never miss the National Memorial Day Concert, and although Memorial Day honors those no longer with us, the testimonials from veterans are usually from living veterans. First one this year, definitely is no longer with us. Sgt Joseph Plum Martin, Connecticut Militia/Continental Army. While the Sgt’s diary does a great job of recording what the boys at Valley Forge went through, Noah Wylie’s reading of the testimonial knocked it out of the park. Usually after the reading the camera pans to the Veteran. Obviously not possible in this case, but there were descendants.

  90. We BOMBED IRAN INTO TOTAL acceptance of TWENTY TIMES the shipments of cash Barak Hussein Obama and the LUNATIC LEFT DEMOCRATS GAVE THEM. None could have made that every President since Taft has wanted an IRAN DEAL BUT NONE HAD THE STRENGTH OF THE GREATEST PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. With this IQ test Iran will face a heavy burden of getting a million per ship and have peaceful nuclear research like we’ve never seen. THANK YOU FOR YOJR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER

  92. JESUS CHRIST, YOU IDIOTS!
    WE’VE ALREADY HAD TO TALK HIM DOWN FROM USING NUKES THREE TIMES SO FAR! AND WITH ALL THE NEW MEDS HE’S GETTING CRAZIER BY THE DAY!

    GRANDPA NEEDS A TIME OUT!

  93. 91,

    “…at least within the borders of states that adopt this new law.”

    Sorry to burst your bubble.

    But this is, imho, the political speech equivalent of state anti-usury laws. With all that is at stake, corporations, wealthy individuals, foreign agencies, and foreign individuals simply incorporate their dark money PACs and dark money PAC funding entities in states that don’t regulate, and then continue doing business as usual. Basically, the Hawaii Sec of State office has a little less filing work to deal with, and Florida gets a bit more. And the board members of that corporate entity get to take the kids to Disney World once a year for the annual meeting.

    This kind of “one simple trick” solution is not really the answer. It’s not realistic to suggest that entities as powerful as giant global corporations and billionaires are going to be outmaneuvered by this kind of tweaking at the legal margins. We’ve been trying the same kind of nudges with violent, unbelievably corrupt police for decades and they’ve only grown more powerful and more unregulated as those nudges have forced them to build more influence and control over elected officials, society, and our culture.

    To get money control out of politics will require massive reform of both the political system and of the financial system. But the good news is that those are also reforms that don’t require amending the constitution. They would require completely reformulating the federal courts. And that’s been overdue since the 1960s. But that can also be done without a constitutional amendment. It just requires a complete change of elected government and more progressive shift in the Democratic party.

  94. JOHN MCCAIN WAS NOT A GREAT PERSON AND NOT A GREAT WAR HERO BECAUSE HE WAS A BAD PILOT WHO GOT SHOT DOWN OVER ENEMY TERRITORY AND TAKEN PRISONER BY THE EVIL VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS.

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

    HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY.

  96. @93 Yes, pack the damn court! That will solve so many problems, not just Citizens United.

  98. @92 If the next time is the charm, it will set off a waterfall of nuclear proliferation, greatly raising the risk of nuclear war, because every nation with the means to do so will rush to acquire a nuclear deterrent, having seen with their own eyes that it’s not only possible but probable for a crazy person to gain control of an offensive nuclear arsenal.

  99. This summer, patrons at Pike Place Market will be able to sip alcoholic beverages while strolling around certain areas of the market through a pilot program approved by the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority Thursday.

    The Sip and Stroll program, which will kick off June 5 and run through Labor Day weekend, allows visitors to purchase alcoholic beverages from 24 participating businesses and carry them around designated marketplace areas. The pilot program will operate Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4:30 p.m., and patrons must finish or discard their drinks by 5 p.m.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/life/food-drink/pike-place-market-to-test-sip-and-stroll-open-container-alcohol-program/

    What a stupid idea. PPMP&DA has learned nothing from the experience of airports and airlines, where inebriated patrons cause endless problems. We should be shutting down alcohol sales in airports and on airplanes, not creating new venues for people to get drunk and belligerent in.

  100. @98

    If Iran didn’t have a nuke before, they certainly will have one in the future.

  101. Obama was SO divisive.

    Donald J. Trump
    @realDonald Trump

    Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year. God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    Is not feeding sailors respectful? Asking for a guy on Insta who’s lost 43 pounds on a deployment.

  102. @ 100,

    WE DID THAT!☝️

    Thank you so much for all your support over the years. We appreciate you. And we know we could not have done it without voters like you. ❤️

  103. Looks like the GOP checked with their bosses in Tel Aviv and Trump’s Iran deal is now off.

    I hope MAGA cult chuds like the lying troll don’t lose too much on the giddy Polymarket bets they placed yesterday. /s

  104. @102: The question now is not who voted for whom, but how do we negate the influence of the Zionist lobby in both political parties. Both groups are being manipulated by Zionists who are putting Israel first.

  105. The thing is, I’m basically okay with very old men having sexual intercourse with really young girls. That feels pretty natural and normal to me, and kind of cool.

    But a man who dresses as a woman for comfort and pleasure without hurting anyone is an abomination to me and they should all be rounded up and “put on an island”.

  106. @ 104,

    Well, I probably shouldn’t say this, but one really big reason why centrist, conservative Democrats like Fettermaga get away with their support for Israeli apartheid, imperialism and genocide is that they get to hide behind us Republicans.

    You ought to think about that some time.

    Or not!

    We and Israel would both really love for you to keep on “both sidesing” this for as long as you can.❤️

  107. In the end Trumpy is going to have to surrender to Iran just like he surrendered to the Taliban at the end of his first term.

  108. @104 Democrats are rethinking their involvement with Israel. It will take Republicans, who haven’t had a fresh idea since 1875, another century and a half to do so.

  109. Trump is daydreaming that Iran’s enriched uranium “will either be immediately turned over to the United States … or … destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location, with the Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent, being witness to this process and event.”

    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5894298-trump-iran-enriched-uranium-deal/

    P.S., the President of the United States apparently doesn’t know Congress abolished the AEC in 1974 and put its functions under the Department of Energy in 1977. Maybe somebody should ask him if he knows who the Secretary of Energy is.

  110. destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location, with the Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent, being witness to this process and event.

    The idiot is referring to the IAEA.

    We had IAEA inspectors in Iran inspecting facilities, verifying compliance and testing their materials right up until May 8, 2018 when Fat Idiot unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the agreement on the instructions of Israel. IAEA inspectors continued their work in Iran under the auspices and guidance of the UNSC. But U.S. sanctions were resumed, again on instruction from Israel. And with the resumption of sanctions Iran became less cooperative with the inspection regime and began seeking to increase enrichment to higher levels, but still well below anything approaching weapons grade.

    Then in covert ops attacks in July of 2020 and April of 2021, using precision targeting data supplied to them by the Fat Idiot administration (with Biden approval) and gathered during IAEA compliance inspections, Israeli operatives sabotaged reactor fuel processing facilities. And in June of last year Israel launched the 12-day War against Iran, and proceeded to badly damage Iran’s fuel processing and storage facilities, but also kill a bunch of civilians as usual.

    So yeah, Iran is pretty well done trusting international inspections. And naturally, Iran will not be interested in allowing IAEA inspectors to return ever again.

    Everything Trump touches he turns to shit.

  111. 97)Surprised didn’t rehash the Forrestal Fire. Find it odd McCains Wet Start caused the Phantom to fire the rocket that hits the Skyhawk parked next to McCain’s, when his squadrons Skyhawks were parked with their noses facing the Phantoms. Saw a documentary that it was an electrical failure while the Phantom was being started. The handlers had cut corners in the process, removing safety pins that would have blocked the electrical short from firing the rockets. They were supposed to be removed just prior to catapult launch.

  113. @102: The question now is not who voted for whom, but how do we negate the influence of the Zionist lobby in both political parties. Both groups are being manipulated by Zionists who are putting Israel first.

    Certainly not changing that if you vote Republican, but you might have a chance if you vote Democrat.

  114. We had IAEA inspectors in Iran inspecting facilities, verifying compliance and testing their materials right up until May 8, 2018 when Fat Idiot unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the agreement on the instructions of Israel. IAEA inspectors continued their work in Iran under the auspices and guidance of the UNSC. But U.S. sanctions were resumed, again on instruction from Israel. And with the resumption of sanctions Iran became less cooperative with the inspection regime and began seeking to increase enrichment to higher levels, but still well below anything approaching weapons grade.

    Smart of Iran know that they were coming for them, and hence start enriching. If it rains you grab an umbrella.

  116. 114,

    To be clear, under the agreement Iran was allowed to enrich. Peaceful nuclear energy, nuclear energy research, nuclear medicine, and other high energy research require enriched nuclear isotopes. A level of enrichment was negotiated that was acknowledged to be adequate for Iran’s civilian requirements while leaving them several complex technical and industrial processing steps away from “weapons” grade isotopes. That’s where they were when the MAGA cult leader blew the agreement up. By 2020, when the first Israeli covert sabotage operations were carried out, that agreement was gone and Iran was believed to be enriching fuel to levels above the limits set by those repudiated agreements.

    It’s still assumed, and the collective intelligence consensus agrees, that the levels of enrichment Iran has achieved are still well short of “weapons” grade. And it is widely acknowledged that there are perfectly legitimate and even humanitarian purposes for a country like Iran, under sweeping industrial and economic sanctions, to seek to possess those nuclear materials. One example would be Technetium-99m, probably the most common isotope in nuclear medicine. The chemical precursor for Technetium-99m is produced in one of five nuclear research reactors worldwide fueled with highly enriched uranium (HEU). Without HEU Iran would have no access to most nuclear medicine.

    Israel denies all of this, and claims without evidence that they can prove Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon. But they have never backed the claim up, even while carrying out sabotage attacks, assassination strikes, and bombing strikes on Iran.

    And, big surprise, Israel lies a lot.

  117. Watching an upload of the 1971 INDY 500, pace car driver hitting a photographer stand. A little higher standards now, tge nin-professional gets to only do it during the start.Also in those days, hope the Chief Starter got hazard pay, waving the flags, without the safety of the Crows Nest.

  118. @113

    No, the Democrats are in the pocket of the Zionist lobby, too. To really affect the current situation, new parties should be elected, such as the Democratic Socialists, Libertarians, the Reform Party, the Constitution Party and others. For far too long our choices have been limited to two major parties who are beholding to the Zionist agenda for a “Greater Israel.”

  119. new parties should be elected, such as the Democratic Socialists,

    I certainly agree with that.

  121. @ 120,

    Me too!

    So I guess it’s no coincidence that we all caucus exclusively with regular Democrats.

  122. Trump is back in the hospital following the long weekend.

    Paying his respects to Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

  123. 118,

    A vote has been on the floor of the House since just before the long weekend recess Friday, forced onto the schedule by Democrats, to authorize up or down the continuation of the stupid Israeli Sport War, in accordance with the requirements of well established federal law.

    This morning, because too many Republicans had defected from the AIPAC/Israeli control of the House Republican leadership and were preparing to join Democrats and vote “NO” on authorization, the Republican Speaker and the rest of the Republican leadership, according to the House rules they approved as a partisan majority, put the chamber back into recess in order to avoid that vote, and to give AIPAC and Israel additional time to threaten lawmakers running for re-election.

    And so, you see, you are completely full of shit.

    There is a HUGE difference between the two parties in moments like these. And like it or not, and despite it not conforming to your childish cartoon comic book understanding, moments like these are precisely what define our public policies in a republic.

    I for one am content with you if you never vote for any Democrat. But if you ever again, even one single time vote for another Republican then you are a cowardly, hypocritical weakling entirely without any of the principles you come here to declare.

  124. There is a HUGE difference between the two parties in moments like these. And like it or not, and despite it not conforming to your childish cartoon comic book understanding, moments like these are precisely what define our public policies in a republic.

    Thanks for straigtening that out.

    He is his own problem.

  125. @118 Libertarian Party? Constitution Party? Are you joking?

    The Democratic Party, like the Republican Party, will go where their voters take them. MAGA voters and their leader have led the GOP into full-blown backing of Zionist warmongering. Democratic voters are going in a totally different direction, calling out Israeli aggression, oppression, genocide, and atrocities. With voters going in different directions, the parties will end up in different places. Once again, for the umpteenth time, Democrats and Republicans aren’t the same.

  127. They’re coming fast now.

    Indiana, Suzanne Swierc, fired by Ball State University for being insufficiently heartbroken over the death of woman hating White supremacist Charlie Kirk gets $225,000 to settle her first amendment case.

    Florida, Brittney Brown, Florida Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, fired after she reposted a meme of whales not sobbing in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death gets $445,000 and the state pays her legal fees to boot

    The first Amendment is pretty clear on if a government body can retaliate purely on the basis of private individual speech.

  128. @127 Kneejerk stupidity isn’t cost-free.

    This is why universities and other institutions employ lawyers. You run things past the legal department before you do something that may impinge on other people’s rights, be they faculty, staff members, students, or members of the general public.

    This isn’t just a wrongful termination case. It’s also a case of administrative misfeasance and incompetence.

  129. Well congratulations to Tuscon. You secured over 400 room nights and the University of Arizona field rental fees to be the base city of the Iranian World Cup squad. All of that cancelled now due to the orange moron threatening Iranian staff and athletes and suggesting his minions might do them harm.

    So they are moving to Mexico.

    You can ask FIFA for some money to cover the expenses you incurred in preparation but it’s FIFA so….

    Yer fucked.
