I must respectfully disagree. I doubt if she's ever made a bed in her life. Or mopped a floor. Or cooked a meal. Or did laundry. Or washed a dish. Or did anything we peasants do every day.
Now, remember, Susan, you put this idea in my head. Got it? You are responsible.
For anyone of worth, yes. For them, it would be easier, when they are arrested for crimes against the state and humanity, to grill them if they're on one skewer.
I agree. When I saw her at the Easter egg hunt she looked angry and sad. Her wrinkles are showing so more botox is needed. Do I feel sorry for her? No. She could have left long ago and gotten Barron out of that sick environment. She is praying every nite for the same thing we pray for.
Andy -- Perhaps she had just finished playing a game of Monopoly with him and he drew the card that said, "Go directly to Hades. Do not pass Go. Do not cut out "Melanie" with your prenup. Do not collect $200M".🤔
That is true. Does he let any of the "good press" on the plane any more? But you are right about the Secret Service. Poor guys must hate their job. I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT take a bullet for him. I'd duck!
He blew it with the sharks when he attacked us lawyers who are their old friends. My paralegal used to call me Whitey the Shark or The White Shark due to my (no longer) prematurely white hair.
As I understand it, this mimicked his one visit to Slovenia, when he flew over for lunch with her parents and left the same day. You can tell from the picture the lady has a ton of memories, none pleasant …
Not just a four-year-old. A four-year-old girl with Stage IV of a rare cancer. She will die because she cannot continue her treatment. Surely God will see that as murder of an innocent.
Republican lawmakers’ budget policies will result in many thousands of premature, preventable deaths, a thing usually referred to as mass murder. Ergo, any lawmaker who votes for the Republican budget is a mass murderer.
It's well known the GOP 'Right to Life' crowd don't give a sh*t about living past the exit of the womb. Meanwhile deaths at birth in US for Mother & infants rise, due to repressive pregnancy laws.
For the "Right To Life" freaks, the right to life begins at conception and ends at birth. The only thing "right" about them is their fascist extremism.
And he spoke so dismissively about Day Care during the campaign, like it was a nothing, easy problem to fix(if you throw enough money at it-at first, then abandon the project and declare it a success.). Now he thinks he can buy women off with $5G's for giving birth (after that you're on your own and we can't profit from it so why waste our time. Not our problem.Besides we solved it).
exactly-offer only applies to those Caucasian, properly Christian, Republican, and flying a Trump flag outside. No people of color, Jews, those who speak other languages, the differently abled, or medically compromised. Birth certificates must be imprinted on rooftops to allow for proper surveillance.
Thank you for informing us -- I didn't realize that the consequences of Trump / Musk shutting down USAID were already transpiring. Makes sense, of course. Horribly. My God/S, this breaks my heart.
Cruelty is the point. Reducing people to objects, makes it easier to let them die. Calling them illegals reduces them. Calling them drug dealers, gang members, wife beaters, criminals take away their humanity. The commandant of a German death camp was asked why he treated the Jews so badly since he was just going to kill them anyway. He said it was for the sake of his men. If he didn't dehumanize the Jews, it bothered his men when they killed them.
I watched ICE Agents during Trump's first administration rip a small screaming child out her mother's arms. I wondered at the time. How! How could someone go home to their own children. How could they pray and ask God for mercy.
I imagine one rule that ICE has is above all is- no cameras.
"The commandant of a German death camp was asked why he treated the Jews so badly since he was just going to kill them anyway. He said it was for the sake of his men. IF HE DIDN'T DEHUMANIZE THE JEWS, IT BOTHERED HIS MEN WHEN THEY KILLED THEM." That is the most horrifying thing I have ever read.
For Easter Trump served a ration of hatred for his enemies. Franciscus served a feast of love for his enemies . . . and, of course, for all of humanity.
This was the third and greatest funeral/memorial service of recent days: First, Queen Elizabeth; then President Carter; and now Franciscus. If only our present leaders had one iota of their grace and virtue.
It shows what people value. I hope the felon is out of office when his funeral is held, pretty sure no one would care if he was gone then, just fade away.
it frosts me that as a former president, he'll be entitled to a state funeral, but I refuse to watch and hope to be celebrating our country's "liberation day"
I said that after the inauguration, the media should never use its name. Just “the President did this today or said this today.” And no pictures. His head would explode.
It is far too late, Meryl. The media should have stopped when he first announced he would be running for POTUS. He didn't need to campaign because the media did it for him. You could not turn on the news (TV or radio) at any given time without hearing his name or seeing his face. He was always on the front page of every newspaper. And now he is turning on the press...a dog biting the hand that fed him.
I've noticed that Lawrence O'Donnell always just uses 47's name & NEVER have I heard Mr. O'Donnell refer to the unworthy DJT as "President." O'Donnell respects the office of the President, not the current office holder.
I wish msnbc had figured that out instead of starting every sentence with his name for the past ten years. If we had all ignored him he would have shriveled up and died istead of becoming president… TWICE! Too late now.
I think they should be exclusively available to republican legislators, cabinet members, the entire executive branch (with the exception of honest prosecutors in the DOJ, inspectors general, and other good people).
47 only slurs others with epithets than apply more aptly to himself. Crooked, lying, sleepy…. All except little which applies to his hands and maybe something else?
GREAT!!!! I have gotten spoiled by the quality of your work, but these were exceptionally good!!! I find I can't get the image of Orange asleep in his blue suit in the Vatican out of my mind!
Aw thanks, L.R.! Love me some sugar plum fairies! But they're dancing across my walnut does seem to cause problems -- that combined with tRump dystopian fog and me wee grey cells are monstrously nettled, alas.
Melania is clearly musing that the wrong man died.
This is as happy as I’ve ever seen her.
Another commenter stated that this was the first time he had slept beside her in at least ten years.
That’s a good one.
Oh, that is the best.
LOL!
Ole…🤣…thank you!
Tusind tak, Ole.
Love!!
And she still looks miserable to me. Deservedly so at that.
She made her bed, literally & figuratively. I have absolutely no sympathy or empathy for her. "I really don't care, do U?"
I must respectfully disagree. I doubt if she's ever made a bed in her life. Or mopped a floor. Or cooked a meal. Or did laundry. Or washed a dish. Or did anything we peasants do every day.
You make a good point.
My thoughts, exactly. I wonder if she flew over on a different plane?
Maybe same plane, different broomstick?
Same broomstick would be way too close for comfort.
Now, remember, Susan, you put this idea in my head. Got it? You are responsible.
For anyone of worth, yes. For them, it would be easier, when they are arrested for crimes against the state and humanity, to grill them if they're on one skewer.
Proud of yourself?
😂 Good one, Susan.
or a broom?
I agree. When I saw her at the Easter egg hunt she looked angry and sad. Her wrinkles are showing so more botox is needed. Do I feel sorry for her? No. She could have left long ago and gotten Barron out of that sick environment. She is praying every nite for the same thing we pray for.
Of course she does. She just leaned over to see if he was still breathing...and was sadly disappointed.
Andy -- Perhaps she had just finished playing a game of Monopoly with him and he drew the card that said, "Go directly to Hades. Do not pass Go. Do not cut out "Melanie" with your prenup. Do not collect $200M".🤔
Wouldn't be great if she filed for divorce? "Please respect our privacy during this difficult time". BWAHAHAHAHA
Have a blast tomorrow night, Andy!
And we could all send Thoughts and Prayers!!!
Oh God
I was almost giddy at the thought of him being out of the country - even for 5 minutes - I don't care where he goes, as long as he stays gone.
Me, too! Also mused about Air Force One mechanical failures over the Atlantic.
Save that for when the entire cabinet is on board. It'd solve all our problem all at once.
But what about press people? If they are "the good ones." And Secret Service detail? I worry about "the innocents" who are just doing their jobs.
That is true. Does he let any of the "good press" on the plane any more? But you are right about the Secret Service. Poor guys must hate their job. I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT take a bullet for him. I'd duck!
As an avowed atheist, I rarely pray, but boy was I busy praying for that on Saturday!
"Almighty" God could do something to hasten Trump's arrival in Hades. Until HE does, I remain unbelieving.
not one single bird was available to fly into the engine???
Out of professional courtesy
The sharks will spit him out.
but I've heard they have underwater turbines now, so if the sharks don't get him, the windmills will
He blew it with the sharks when he attacked us lawyers who are their old friends. My paralegal used to call me Whitey the Shark or The White Shark due to my (no longer) prematurely white hair.
Yeah, weird; I would not have recognized her without Andy's clarification. Are you sure that's Melania, and not the muse of tragedy?
Good observation, Andy!
Andy, that's a great pic. I wonder if some opportunist managed to steal his handbag with Rx and nuclear codes
Yes, she is happy in this pre-golf course pose.
Andy -- On a separate note -- this news is perfect fodder for the TBR:
"President Trump signed an executive order on Monday that requires commercial truck drivers in the United States to be proficient in English.
The text of the order acknowledges the essential role that truck drivers play in the U.S. economy and the livelihood of American people."
As I understand it, this mimicked his one visit to Slovenia, when he flew over for lunch with her parents and left the same day. You can tell from the picture the lady has a ton of memories, none pleasant …
Actually, her parents were well to do communists. She lived far better than most.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not muses, she knows!
I wish that were true but I’m afraid Melania sold her soul to the devil decades ago. I have zero respect or concern for her.
LOL
Not just a four-year-old. A four-year-old girl with Stage IV of a rare cancer. She will die because she cannot continue her treatment. Surely God will see that as murder of an innocent.

For the "Right To Life" freaks, the right to life begins at conception and ends at birth. The only thing "right" about them is their fascist extremism.
Your definition of "Life" as defined by the freaks is the best I've read: the right to be birthed. After that, who gives a sh*t.
And he spoke so dismissively about Day Care during the campaign, like it was a nothing, easy problem to fix(if you throw enough money at it-at first, then abandon the project and declare it a success.). Now he thinks he can buy women off with $5G's for giving birth (after that you're on your own and we can't profit from it so why waste our time. Not our problem.Besides we solved it).
Welcome to the Republic of Gilead. And the Commanders didn't even need to overthrow the U.S. government. The Handmaid's Tale is not fiction anymore!
I'm waiting for the fine print on the $5K kid bonus . . . I'm sure certain restrictions apply.
exactly-offer only applies to those Caucasian, properly Christian, Republican, and flying a Trump flag outside. No people of color, Jews, those who speak other languages, the differently abled, or medically compromised. Birth certificates must be imprinted on rooftops to allow for proper surveillance.
<golf clap>
Seth Meyers had a comment about the $5G. "It's like getting a dollar off coupon at your Mercedes dealer."
I agree 💯 Pro-life = Pro-birth, period.
In theory, of course. In real life....
Watch and listen to George Carlin explain our future in 1996 about abortion.
https://youtu.be/YpFYpoIwQec
Michael, thank you so much for sharing this.
Carlin is brilliant, as always. I really enjoyed it.
Perfect.
Children in the Global South have already died as a result of Trump/Musk shutting down USAID.
Thank you for informing us -- I didn't realize that the consequences of Trump / Musk shutting down USAID were already transpiring. Makes sense, of course. Horribly. My God/S, this breaks my heart.
Will a single one of the repugnicants even think of such a thing? No hearts. No brains.
Just greed.
no souls

I was going to say the same thing. GOP - the party of dehumanization. Terrifying.
Dust in the wind. To the trumps and their ilk, all we are is dust in the wind
Can we see it any other way but as a death sentence for a child. Disgusting beyond belief.
Gd will. MAGATs won’t. Only a woman’s reproductive freedom is considered infanticide by them.
This is a travesty of a million proportions!
God sort of overlooked those thousands of Covid deaths due to trump’s ineptitude.
I am sure He will because that is exactly what it is.
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Hey hey hey!! Thanks for this, and our favorite new adjective - assholic!😂😏

Why I hope he is out of office when it happens. Not to mention having Vance in office. 🤢
To you as well, carissimo Andy! And to everyone on this thread.
and also with you... a little late on my part :-S
i hope god will soon help me reach my goal, which is to read nothing about trxmp, unless it’s his obit.
I said that after the inauguration, the media should never use its name. Just “the President did this today or said this today.” And no pictures. His head would explode.
I agree! there is a movement to have people stop using his name. I variably use 47, Cheeto Head, and Agent Orange. Spread the word!!
I've started using the name Trumpty-Dumpty.
Just waiting for the inevitable fall, when all of Musk's Tesla's and all of his Muskrats can't put him together again.
CF47!
Felon 47 almost rhymes.
Mary L. Trump thinks we should all call him Donald, so now I usually do.
I prefer ConOLD - a two-fer!
If you work at it a little you can keep from capitalizing anything to do with him
you'll have to shut off spell check!
The media need to stop using the T word. What people like us do…. Comment among ourselves…. Won’t change the nomenclature
It is far too late, Meryl. The media should have stopped when he first announced he would be running for POTUS. He didn't need to campaign because the media did it for him. You could not turn on the news (TV or radio) at any given time without hearing his name or seeing his face. He was always on the front page of every newspaper. And now he is turning on the press...a dog biting the hand that fed him.
I cannot refer to him as “President” because he does not fit the qualifications.
Kudos!!!
I call him 47 and thats it.
But please consider...the orange corksoaker.
The Administration is a good option.
Actually junta has a nice ring too.
How about The Abomination?
Just “47”, and future history books should do the same…
I've noticed that Lawrence O'Donnell always just uses 47's name & NEVER have I heard Mr. O'Donnell refer to the unworthy DJT as "President." O'Donnell respects the office of the President, not the current office holder.
He doesn't fit the title of president. 47 it is, for me.
I think this could be a future TBR post - favorite names for Captain Chaos, the Commander in Cheat, the bloated yam . . . oh what fun!
I wish msnbc had figured that out instead of starting every sentence with his name for the past ten years. If we had all ignored him he would have shriveled up and died istead of becoming president… TWICE! Too late now.
I gotta admit when the pope was ill in hospital I was praying that he would outlive our American dictator. Not to be.
We can hope he whispers in God's ear.
Your mouth to God’s ears.
I have a friend with that same philosophy. He always says, " I don't want to hear that name unless you're telling me he's dead."
Heavenly essay!
:-) !! nice wit.
Helluva essay.
It was very fairplay from the Almighty not to take into account the color of the suit.
Flo -- The key point is that his future suits be made from asbestos regardless of the color.
I recently saw a clip of him commenting how amazing asbestos is so that should make him happy…(and I’m not kidding)
Do they still make those ? 😳
Manville Fashions, the Brimstone is their most popular cut.
Flo -- with all the regulations from the EPA, FDA etc. being lifted, these suits may make a comeback.
Exactly what I was thinking. Hopeful. 🙏🏽
I think they should be exclusively available to republican legislators, cabinet members, the entire executive branch (with the exception of honest prosecutors in the DOJ, inspectors general, and other good people).
Very generous of you Susan 🫠
then again, something extremely flammable and a church candle gone haywire . . ? Just sayin'
I did note that Melania had the decency to wear black.
She's mourning her sham marriage.
Do we know whether Melania's outfit said "I really don't care. Do you?" on the back?
I haven't seen a report on that.
Pretty sure it wouldn't say "Be Best."
He was probably thankful Dopey wasn't wearing one of his MAGAt hats (Made in China).
omg, can you imagine?? He got the attention he wanted sticking out in blue, but that nasty red hat would have been too much!
Not so much the color as the SIZE! It could have been made from one of the parachutes from elon’s spaceship. No, wait. TWO parachutes
Hilarious! I especially like the shout out to Sleepy Joe - proves that nicknames don’t necessarily mean a thing.
Except for Lyin’ Ted
And Little Marco.
As a Texan, I really appreciate your comment.
You must admit that most of Trump's nicknames are just projections.
To paraphrase Deborah Mitford, I will admit. Just waiting for “Little Mushroom.”
Of course. I liked rubbing his nose in that particular one - not that he reads TBR, but still …
47 only slurs others with epithets than apply more aptly to himself. Crooked, lying, sleepy…. All except little which applies to his hands and maybe something else?
the mushroom!
Maybe?
At least Trump wasn't "woke."
Spit my wine! Hilarious!
<golf clap>
Thank you, Andy, you can’t imagine how much this post comforts me!
He may be going to hell…but, he’s dragged the rest of us in there already.
Not quite yet. Let's fight the bastards.
Correct
Yes.
If you can, show up for a protest on May 1! Those of us who don't have to work, or can time off, let's make an extra effort to be out.
In looking at the protests in my area they seem to be at 6ish so people won’t have to take the day off work.
all set - new poster ready for the 5-7p protest in Rochester, NY!
Getting ready. I’ll attend a Saturday, 2-4pm. https://www.fiftyfifty.one/
Yes, not going down with a sinking ship! WE FIGHT!
He has made America sick in body, mind, and soul, but we're not dead - only more emboldened to "get into some good trouble".
I love John Lewis for giving us that phrase - "good trouble" is perfect!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, the 2 year old was in MS-13 -- Check his knuckles!
Love you!! you always make me smile and cheer me up
Good guys wear black!
Like Johnny Cash - the original man in black!
GREAT!!!! I have gotten spoiled by the quality of your work, but these were exceptionally good!!! I find I can't get the image of Orange asleep in his blue suit in the Vatican out of my mind!
Donald gives Satan a bad name.
The same goes for anyone trump associates with. Satan isn't special in this regard.
Oh now you're just gonna piss him off -- Satan, I mean. Maybe he'll snap up tRump early? A girl can dream...
May visions of sugar plums always dance in your head, dear Floofie.
Aw thanks, L.R.! Love me some sugar plum fairies! But they're dancing across my walnut does seem to cause problems -- that combined with tRump dystopian fog and me wee grey cells are monstrously nettled, alas.
Then let's be glad that you grey cells are wee, lest they be full-fledged dust balls.
No dust balls hereabouts! However, the dust bunnies are proliferating like rabbits.
you have the best sources!
