Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:

Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer.

What you lookin' at?
You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be?
You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say,
"That's the bad guy.
" So... what that make you? Good? You're not good.
You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
So say good night to the bad guy!
Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.
Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them; you can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT!

Trump lingered last in line for brains
And the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small hands (so sad!), a rust-hued clown
Is Trump fast asleep or rockin' out with Three Doors Down?

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

…at Cordell and Cordell. Cordell and Cordell is... (z_tbd), Wednesday, 15 July 2026 05:30 (one week ago)

you would think that, given the reflections in the ideal pool, it would be less expensive to keep a camera on it to document antifa, due to all the extra angles created by the reflections. but in fact, it just makes it so much more expensive that even operating one camera pointed at the giant reflecting pool would be too complicated and ultimately would hurt the cause of keeping a close eye on antifa attacks. :(

Ahh, the one dollar coin - one of America's most beloved and successful denominations

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Mint has begun producing a new $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump’s face to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday, the Treasury Department said Wednesday.

The final design for the commemorative coin, being released in the fall, was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump. But the finished product unveiled Wednesday differs from that version in a few aspects, including that it is not made of gold but rather has a gold finish.

You'd think that after a decade of this insufferable crybaby lying sack of shit criminal even his base would abandon him. Trump's psychology is as plain as day. The media needs to stop analyzing Trump, but unwrap the basic motives of his base and give them a thorough public airing, because for as long as they live we'll be grappling with their voting habits.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 19 July 2026 17:27 (one week ago)

His base has been doing a pretty good job of their own public airing. They're racist and hate queer people, they don't believe in science, they think America should be run by and for Christians only, and they think it's funny when poor people die. If you'd like to know more I direct you to your nearest comment section.

Oops forgot to mention the most important thing, which is that they hate women.

paper plans (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 19 July 2026 18:41 (one week ago)

The problem is his base are also lying sack of shit criminals.

whimsical skeedaddler (Moodles), Sunday, 19 July 2026 19:04 (one week ago)

another important thing about this base is that somehow, when combined with people who vote but don't know what's going on, they make up 49.999999999% of each national vote, leaving a margin of only one undecided voter, steve bone, in every election.

z_tbd, Sunday, 19 July 2026 19:19 (one week ago)

I direct you to your nearest comment section.

When you put those comments in the context of more mainstream news/analysis/reporting they look different, meaning uglier and much worse, because the audience is different. Comment sections are their own bubble. When you extract them, package, and distribute them differently it matters.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 19 July 2026 19:33 (one week ago)

I don't understand your point, Aimless.

Nearly every comment section is either a cesspool or an analingus party or often both, no matter whether we're talking the Times or some Instagram post from a niche publication or celebrity.

For some really weird reason, the ABC news here (which is taxpayer funded and supposed to take no sides) presented Trump's "bit" where he said he was doing a 4th term and put that stupid 2028 hat on... as if it was part of a normal speech? Maybe I missed a nuance but it felt weirdly like they were completely eliding the "joke".
