Donald Trump, the adjudicated sexual assaulter and destroyer of the federal right to abortion, decided he would declare, in all caps, “I WILL PROTECT WOMEN.” He followed this up in speeches saying to American women, “I want to be your protector.”
some company just incorporated in Arizona I think is “in charge;” the corporate agent the same guy that incorporated one of the other grift companies—the coins, I think.
I dunno, bit I'm pretty sure that A) the $100K "Tourbillion" is counterfeit AF; and B) the gold plate on the $500 one will start wearing off the first time it's worn.
🤣👏🏻 Along with his anus mouth. Has there ever been a more disturbing/disgusting being than DonOLD? Right up there with the alien in Aliens. And at that point in the movie, I remembered why I don’t do horror.
I love that Trump has been campaigning for what seems like four years and says a another debate with Harris is “too late” while she’s been campaigning for two minutes and is ready to go.
I’d make another argument that makes Trump unfit to lead. He should be ready at a moments notice for anything that comes his way. Even another debate wipeout.
In Canada an election period is much shorter than this. Pierre Poilievre has ads out now about how he had a newspaper route and played hockey and Canadians are laughing. when an election is called — then do annad otherwise you are wasting your $$. We mute or turn off the tv, get that @CPC
Great roundup today!! And we totally have a joke in our house regarding those cake containers—years ago I was opening one and spouse remarked how loud the the thing was, so now if we have a container that makes a loud noise upon opening like that one of us will shout “HAVING SOME CAKE??” 🤣
I haven't seen it yet. My husband wants to watch it with me, but we just haven't gotten there. Now it's in storage - but soon we'll be able to get our hands on it! Yay! Anyway, I have not seen enough of her movies. Yet.
My heart goes out to the people impacted by Hurricane Helene, which made landfall in Florida and within 48 hours had affected 11 States, caused deaths in 5 additional States, this after 9 homes collapsed into rising sea levels of NC Outer Banks. Mother Nature is sending the signs, climate change deniers are fools, I cannot help but think of the Parable of the Drowning Man. Vote 💙 and Thank the Dems for keeping the SAVE ACT out of the budget bill, thousands(+?) of people just lost access to the "proof" they would have needed to vote.
And those would mostly have been women. Something I read recently, but hadn't thought of: how many women use their husbands' names, but don't bother to legally change theirs?
Exactly, they are trying to disenfranchise every group that is not white male, which is why it boggles my mind when I see anyone other than that demographic supporting him. I never changed my name for marriage, legally or otherwise, made things so much easier down the road of life.
Right! ... although I didn't change my name because of being lazy. My 1st name is hard enough for people to say/spell, my husband's name is impossible! But I would have been quite happy to get rid of my father's name.
I did that but resumed my birth name when we split up. I washed shocked decades later when I began getting mail from the Social Security Administration addressed to me with my ex husband's surname. Although I had never done anything to change to my husband's name, I had to show divorce papers to legally change back to the name I was born with and had been using on everything for decades. I still have my original Social Security card I got when I was 16. I had never applied for one with my married name.
And the greatest of these was the homage to Dame Maggie Smith with her incomparably uttered lines from Downton Abbey. A kiss of the fingers to Dame Maggie Smith, she was always superlative!
OH WOW! This was a great summary...the NY Post headline about did me in. 😂😂😂 I think Mr. & Mrs. Dump must know their end is near...the hawking of worthless, offensive junk seems to have stepped up lately.
I keep thinking that the hawking of, well, anything at all, *should* be beneath an ex-prez who is trying to become the next prez. He *should* feel humiliated.
I had a cat who peed in the toilet. Then she would pat the flush handle although she didn't have the strength to actually flush it. She knew that was supposed to come next.
I have had cats who wanted to drink from the bathtub as well as one of my current cats insists on drinking from the bathroom sink. I also had a cat who would get in the tub with my kids at bath time, she just didn't want her head to get wet :)
Trump is well established by now at mostly trying to reinforce his base, and he normally wins among white woman. But I guess the thought is that they aren't looking for a protector so much as cheaper eggs or criminalized abortion in that base. Maybe this will push away a few more voters in that moderate/suburban group.
Regarding the "beautiful" Trump watches.....I have three words: International Money Laundering
the best watches ever made. Though of course it is clear that they are not yet, in fact, made.
That retweet of Marc Rubio’s was great! 🤣🤣🤣
I want to know WHO is making the watches. Are they being made in China?
some company just incorporated in Arizona I think is “in charge;” the corporate agent the same guy that incorporated one of the other grift companies—the coins, I think.
I figured they would just buy some cheap watches and slap a little gold foil and bling on it
I dunno, bit I'm pretty sure that A) the $100K "Tourbillion" is counterfeit AF; and B) the gold plate on the $500 one will start wearing off the first time it's worn.
Oh I’m sure it would, turning your arm green as well. Gold leaf will only hold up to do much friction from being worn.
It’s that singsong voice of his. He says “diamonds“ like he said “Chyna [sic] virus“ during Covid. Makes me want to scratch his eyes out.
He pronounces China like he's trying to say vagina and it just makes me scratch my head.
🤣👏🏻 Along with his anus mouth. Has there ever been a more disturbing/disgusting being than DonOLD? Right up there with the alien in Aliens. And at that point in the movie, I remembered why I don’t do horror.
I trust the xenomorph from the Alien movies more than I trust him.
Heck, I’d like to do that anyway and all the time.
About Trump, and his voice at times: makes me think of goofy Jerry Lewis films when he was acting ga-ga.
Bingo!!!
Does anyone else think DJT cannot tell time with an analog watch? Show of hands please.
I love that you said 'show of hands' there!
Thank you!
He can't remember what century he's in, I doubt he knows the time.
It took me a second to get that, then I Rushed to say that I don't think he can tell time with digital clocks either.
BWAHAHAHA!!
🖐️
👋🏻👋🏻
He misspelled predator as protector. I am your predator!
Yet I'd trust Predator (the alien in that movie franchise) more than him.
I love that Trump has been campaigning for what seems like four years and says a another debate with Harris is “too late” while she’s been campaigning for two minutes and is ready to go.
I’d make another argument that makes Trump unfit to lead. He should be ready at a moments notice for anything that comes his way. Even another debate wipeout.
I thought he meant it was scheduled too late in the evening!
Ha. That too. But even if that were true, National emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. So still unfit to serve.
LOL
He was born that way. Unfit that is.

Brilliant as always!
I will admit, I have shed a few tears for Dame Maggie Smith. "Iconic" just isn't a big enough word for her.
One of my favorite and IMO most bittersweet lines from the last of Downton Abbey was:
“Stop that noise, I can't hear myself die!”
And then she left 😢😢😢
<SNIFF>
Such a priceless and super talented actress. Miss her already. Thank God for her films and of course, Downton Abbey.❤️❤️❤️
I must’ve watched The Prime of Miss Jane Brodie a gazillion times when I was growing up. She was incomparable.
ummm...that would be Jean Brodie. but, I agree!
I haven't seen it yet. My husband wants to watch it with me, but we just haven't gotten there. Now it's in storage - but soon we'll be able to get our hands on it! Yay! Anyway, I have not seen enough of her movies. Yet.

Another case where we, the victim, have to prove our truth. In the legal system, for criminals, it seems to be just the opposite.
Well that just sucks.
And the greatest of these was the homage to Dame Maggie Smith with her incomparably uttered lines from Downton Abbey. A kiss of the fingers to Dame Maggie Smith, she was always superlative!
She was incomparable.
Absolutely agree. Delivery is everything!
I look forward to this column every Saturday.
In these times, laughter is so necessary!
You don't really think that 'In These Times' would
carry a humor column, do you?
OH WOW! This was a great summary...the NY Post headline about did me in. 😂😂😂 I think Mr. & Mrs. Dump must know their end is near...the hawking of worthless, offensive junk seems to have stepped up lately.
They are so bad at the news, and so good with headlines!
My favorite was for David Caradine’s death: Hung Fu! <hanging my head in shame, but DAMN!>
WOOF!!! Damn.
I keep thinking that the hawking of, well, anything at all, *should* be beneath an ex-prez who is trying to become the next prez. He *should* feel humiliated.
I totally agree with you. It's demeaning and evidently, in Dumps case, necessary to pay the bills.
Grifters gonna grift - it is what they do. The con can never end, otherwise the marks will wise up.
I think Melania has finally figured out that her prenup is worthless, so she's grabbing what she can while the getting is good.
Ok that’s a great dad joke.
We had a cat who LOVED to drink from the bathroom faucet. Never seen anything like those bathtub cats though!
I encourage clients to let them do it if they want - more water intake is great for urinary issues in cats.
Our cats drank water from the toilet bowl.
My friend's cat put mice in there and watched them swim in circles.
OMG!
I had a cat who peed in the toilet. Then she would pat the flush handle although she didn't have the strength to actually flush it. She knew that was supposed to come next.
I have had cats who wanted to drink from the bathtub as well as one of my current cats insists on drinking from the bathroom sink. I also had a cat who would get in the tub with my kids at bath time, she just didn't want her head to get wet :)
Seth Meyers is a genius. Love the guy dancing in the three mirrors!
I've had a 3-way mirror in my bathroom for years and yet it never occurred to me to get as creative as the dancing guy. SO fun!
Who comes up with this stuff? Lol
Meyers is terrific, but his delivery leaves me a little cold. However, that was a great segment! And yes, the dancing guy! Love him!
As I was reading today's post from Jay, this popped up on my news feed:

It’s insane.
There is so much ingenuity in the world that gets wasted on deceit, hate
and lying - all of which are at the very least unhealthy (rarely a concern of
those who do them) - that it makes one wonder how much potential good could be
developed in its place.
So glad he got busted!
Oh, ffs.

But I guess the thought is that they aren't looking for a protector so much as cheaper eggs or criminalized abortion in that base.

One issue voters.
Why did tRump take an extra pair of socks with him when he went golfing? In case he got a hole in one.
Hm. Is that a political joke or a dad joke? ;-)
Yes.
There's limits to how much you can donate to a campaign, but not how many watches you can buy. Think about it.
I read somewhere that he made $300,000 on those bibles. Seriously? There were that many stupid.... oh nevermind. The grift just never ends
