Andy, 😂You are definitely a trailblazer in the truth department! Profiles in Ignorance should be a compulsory requirement along with American history for the Trump Confederacy of Dunces ! Your satire is very Swiftian this morning! 😂💕
Let’s hear it for Ignatius J. Reilly. He’s doing amazing work and getting more and more recognition as the inspiration for the trump administration as Secretary of Duncification. Hear hear! Here.
Bravo Clym! I loved that novel and Ignatius J. Reilly is a great character! The Trump administration no doubt will think he’s alive and kicking in New Orleans and recruit him for the job of Secretary of Duncification ! 😂Ignatius will celebrate by eating a dozen hotdogs! 😂
along with James Fells' On This Day Shit Went Down history books, and also Michael Harriott's Black AF History book (horrifying yet interspersed with hilarious family lore)
I really enjoy Michael Harriett’s writing—used to read his columns on the Gawker website. Wish I could afford to subscribe to his Substack! There are so many great writers here.
Oops! I once again failed to notice that predictive text decided I didn’t mean “Harriott” and substituted “Harriet”. My apologies. Sometimes it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
Now Google offers to answer my notes to friends on the off-chance that I'm not intelligent enough to answer their responses. Is this AI or Big Brother? It's presumptuous, invasive, and insulting. Spell check is helpful, but it might have been the beginning of Trumpist ideology.
Demonstrating his geographical prowess, Trump congratulates the “Great state of Kansas” after the Chiefs 2020 Super Bowl win noting “Kansas City fans voted for me in record numbers.”
I wonder if that was a consideration for the Chiefs’ plans to relocate to Kansas from Missouri in 2031?
This is what happens when you vote for a brain-dead, 6-year-old psychiatrically impaired ninny now pushing 80 with purple blotches all over his hands. When he dies soon enough (thank yew, Baby Jeezus!) you have to pretend the corpse is still alive and you really do enjoy kissing its ugly, decaying ass again and again…
I immediately thought of the 4th July comment and was thinking, ‘I wonder if he thought the Americans were dropping cannonballs from the sky with amazing precision and smashing those Red Coats to bits’?
After reading this terrifying list of factual information about Trump, I thought about Milo Minderbinder, from Catch 22. But as you have shown us, truth is more horrible than fiction, unless it involves the invasion of the body snatchers. Oh wait, MAGA.
Yes! Honestly, I've seen posts on LinkedIn that sound just like Milo. The banality of evil. And of course Milo escaped punishment by asserting that Capitalism is what made America great. But nobody wants to go there, except for Bernie.
You're always keeping up on our toes...a 100% factual article about Trump's totally false assertions about history, politics and geography. (If only these statements were April Fool's jokes!)
Is that a April Fool's Day joke? Actually, even though some of your satires come unnervingly close to fact, I personally love the satire. Don't change now - or just do both satire and facts and label them accordingly.
His total ignorance of Columbus' treatment of the Taino people and his total stupidity regarding the awful plight of Native Americans is unfathomable. He has no concept of the reality of our sad chapter of slavery. Dumpy actually thinks we can erase history??? He is incredibly stupid. I am more incensed at the spineless Congress and SCOTUS. They should be screaming; as I would, NO! NO! NO! YOU CANNOT CONTINUE THIS TRAGEDY! YOUR WORDS ARE TOTAL LUNACY! GET OUT! In the meantime, Putin can just grin and think, this dumbass is right where I want him.
The list of the things that The Mad King does not know about would fill an old fashioned printed book set of The Encyclopedia Britannia. And that would just be the list, not the summary or full text. That would take many more book shelves or perhaps an entire Library of Congress.
Second grade? In Teaneck, NJ we learned to read earlier. I respectfully (to you Andy, not to tRump) that he try nursery school and pre-k. He needs to learn the basics of playing well with others and why not to bully.
It's one of the things I hate most about him. He's a little playground bully who thinks casual cruelty is a funny joke. I saw it so much in my youth and my heart still aches for those on the rereiving end.
The first time I read your book, this was funny. Now, as he wrecks the country and stretches to wreck the world. It’s scary funny. This isn’t dumbness it’s dementia.
Happy April Fools Day! How appropriate to highlight the lack of knowledge of our biggest, most destructive fool on this day! Thanks for the great documentation!
every day is a bad day with Donald Trump and the very dumb people to follow him and use him as an excuse or for cover for stealing from Americans isocracy is going bankrupt the country like a bankrupt at six businesses, including a casino make no mistake about it. He hasn’t clue what he’s doing ever has. Had one never will.
Andy, I've had virtually no sleep for the past three nights because I've been listening to your book "Profiles in Ignorance". It's GREAT and so spot on. I've known this pant load since the ager of 16, when I was two years ahead of him academically and we are the same age, duh! The book brought back all of the memories of that stage of life - the ignorance, phobias, uncontrolled anger management, lies, abuses, racism and misogyny - and the image of him doing his "paper route" in his chauffeured limo! Thank you for what you do. Had the misfits that voted him in listened to either of us this s-show would never have happened and he would have been in prion for decades by now, where he belongs - and WE, as a nation, would have been smooch better off.
The lack of sleep was not caused by the Village Idiot but by my love of listening to this great book. I will never let that pant load live in my head - I have too many important things to do for the world. TDS exists, but in TRUMP’s EMPTY HAIRBALL-FILLED HEAD, not the brains of sane people.
Trump, of course, is somebody who thinks he knows it all and can’t be bothered to check his facts (or have someone else check his facts) before he spews them.
As a proud longtime resident of Massachusetts who has now protested this regime in both Lexington and Concord, I’m glad he was in the wrong state. Stay away from the home of Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” and “Walden”!
You, sir, make me laugh so hard I cry. Wet eyes first thing in the mornings, best way to see clearly. Thank you for bringing joy into an otherwise sobering world.
On April Fools’ Day, TBR adopts a 100% factual format.

Not many people know that New Orleans is named after Orleans, which is a city somewhere in Old Europe and is known for its hot maids. And butlers

He was already dead from the neck up since he came down the escalator.
Al - In your comments you have repeatedly shown a systematic step-by-step, procedure for solving our political nightmare. QED
if not before
Definitely before.
"Dead Hickory" cracked me up.
A dead hickory is better than no hickory at all and we happen to have one in our yard right now....
I immediately thought of the 4th July comment and was thinking, ‘I wonder if he thought the Americans were dropping cannonballs from the sky with amazing precision and smashing those Red Coats to bits’?
…before the British Jewish space lasers of the Yarmulke Dome destroyed most of the cannonballs.
Oh, but of course! I expect nothing less from the demented dotard 😶🌫️

What a shame to waste a war where nobody gets rich, sez trump, so why not Barron?
"Nately died a wealthy man, Yossarian. He had over sixty shares in the syndicate.".
Yes! Honestly, I've seen posts on LinkedIn that sound just like Milo. The banality of evil. And of course Milo escaped punishment by asserting that Capitalism is what made America great. But nobody wants to go there, except for Bernie.
that's all that matters
Yosarian lives!

This one made me subscribe ! Bravo
Andy, your social truth is spot on 🎯
Remember when we thought that Reagan was an idiot for mixing up his acting career as a war hero and his actual life?
'Oh God' George Burns
No kidding!!!
Im still in bed.
When reporting on a fool, let the facts speak for themselves!
Is that a April Fool's Day joke? Actually, even though some of your satires come unnervingly close to fact, I personally love the satire. Don't change now - or just do both satire and facts and label them accordingly.
That's unpossible! He simply cannot do it.
Not only is he a nut to begin with, but he’s a dumb nut, and he is too pig-headed to so anything about it.
Profound narcissistic pathology is the root cause of nearly everything Trump says and does, but it is compounded by his utter stupidity.
And the oligarch class insist on finding him useful, so they keep propping him up. I'm beyond tired of this sad fact of US politics.
Beyond tired is exactly the feeling indeed
His total ignorance of Columbus' treatment of the Taino people and his total stupidity regarding the awful plight of Native Americans is unfathomable. He has no concept of the reality of our sad chapter of slavery. Dumpy actually thinks we can erase history??? He is incredibly stupid. I am more incensed at the spineless Congress and SCOTUS.

Spot on!!!
"Trump’s ignorance of geography, however, makes Sarah Palin look like a “Jeopardy” champion" got my coffee spew this morning!!
It took me a while, but I finally decided on my description of choice for him: Trump is a Malevolently Uninformed Narcissist.
MUN for short.... I like it!
Even better; a nice code for the in-crowd to use: “We got our own way of talking” (Doby Gray, “The In Crowd,” 1965)
Second grade? In Teaneck, NJ we learned to read earlier. I respectfully (to you Andy, not to tRump) that he try nursery school and pre-k. He needs to learn the basics of playing well with others and why not to bully.
It's one of the things I hate most about him. He's a little playground bully who thinks casual cruelty is a funny joke. I saw it so much in my youth and my heart still aches for those on the rereiving end.
Jimmy Smash comes to mind, Rosemary.
Not sure he could pass either nursery school or pre-k. Real humans, no matter how small, are a lot smarter.
he was raised by wolves
That isn’t fair to wolves.
The first time I read your book, this was funny. Now, as he wrecks the country and stretches to wreck the world. It’s scary funny. This isn’t dumbness it’s dementia.
Both
It’s like Certs!
Two, two, two dumbshits in one
Certs?
Candy mint / breath mint
I know that part, I want to understand the reference...
“Why not both?”

Making a dope feel like a genius is Trump's insight into insecurity. One he likely developed naturally.
tr…mp breaks the WINCE-O-MATIC Machine every time he opens his mouth.
Andy, I've had virtually no sleep for the past three nights because I've been listening to your book "Profiles in Ignorance". It's GREAT and so spot on.

Now there's a front seat to train wreck that would cause sleeplessness! My sympathies Doc.
The lack of sleep was not caused by the Village Idiot but by my love of listening to this great book. I will never let that pant load live in my head - I have too many important things to do for the world. TDS exists, but in TRUMP’s EMPTY HAIRBALL-FILLED HEAD, not the brains of sane people.
Actually, those who do not know history are doomed to repeat the Middle Ages, and yes, we’re right on schedule. Heck of a job Donny!
Trump, of course, is somebody who thinks he knows it all and can’t be bothered to check his facts (or have someone else check his facts) before he spews them.
The truth is even crazier than an April Fools Day joke!
