We're traveling to Europe next week, and I feel the same way. I'm going to see if I can find some "Fuck Trump" buttons that I can order and receive quickly, so we can let it be known that not all Americans are idiots.
I live in Drumpf country. I’d be shot. As it is, with all those billions, I expect ICE to spread into my area. Thinking of wearing my Stars and Stripes shorts every time I walk my dog, just to be safe. I may have to black out a couple of teeth, too.
Don't worry Rebe, most of the Europeans can distinguish a real American from one of those maga-sect members.
And we also know that the maga crowd does not travel as they think they live in the nicest country on earth plus they need all their cash to buy trump's "made in China" junk.
During most of the last campaign, I wore my large Kennedy-Johnson button which I've had since I was 12! I also found one in the box that says "Fight Poverty of the Mind." An oldie, too, but I can't recall when/why/what it signifies. I still put it on now and then. It brings lots of knowing looks.
Hegseth's supposedly thinking about running for governor of Tennessee. To do that he'll have to resign from being SecDef. That could be good or bad depending on what toady Dump nominates for the position. Maybe they'll at least get rid if the makeup room in the Pentagon.
Rather than staging some sort of huge event, I like the idea of letting it be spontaneous. We'll range from hootin' and hollerin' in the streets to quiet smiles and everything between. Variety -- just like us.
I was just thinking that Putin would not want him, but then it dawned on me that Putin is very skilled at defenestration. That consult might be worthwhile.
Of corse he’d take him Susan. Putty would set him up in a nice mansion right next to Bashar al- Assad. BTW who the fuck has a dash in there name ? No wonder they ran him out of town.
Well if you hated to do it then why did you? I figure it either gets you off somehow or you just enjoy correcting people.
As for my offensive spelling I’ll accredit that to both a shitty education in Uniondale NY and having to work right out of high school and dyslexia.I did not hate to tell you that. I rather enjoyed it.
Thank you, Elizabeth! You go, Grammar Girl! Someone has to call it out! Plus, you are absolutely correct; millions of people around the world have hyphenated names, either first or last names. It typically has a cultural meaning. For example, "al" in an Arabic name means "from the house or family of." Let's leave the cultural insensitivity to the Republicans; they do such a good job of that.
Putin would have absolutely no use for him when he's no longer in power here. I think he's pretty much done with trump already. After I wrote that comment I realized that Putin is also very good with poisoning…
Who will perform at the Shithead Cultural Center? Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood can only be spread so thin. An evening with readings from "Project 2025" by Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson?
Now for the sad truth. The midterms won't change much. We still will have a veto proof Congress. We will never get a two-thirds vote for impeachment in the Senate. The Supreme Court won't change. The billionaires will flood the airways with propaganda and buy politicians from both parties. The fight will go on for us. The Democratic Party is going to have to grow a spine. Part of that is for the electorate to participate in the process from grassroots up. I am not sure the present leadership trusts the grassroots.
The present leadership has comfortable seats. They are raking in money from wealthy donors. The status quo is better than letting a bunch of unstable radicals upset the prosperous apple cart.
Texas just made it tougher for the Dems to win the house. Their mid-decade gerrymander has supposedly made 5 more House seats in Texas more likely to be won by Repulsives. Democratic governors are going to have to stoop low and redistrict their own states.
You are assuming that he will leave the White House after the 2028 election, if he lives that long. (We can always hope he receives a visit from Dr. Death before then.) I damn sure hope he will leave the White House and take his stupid "gold" flourishes with him, but who knows?!!!
I'm just hoping he'll leave the white house, including with his gold flourishes. I agree that they are stupid, and it's sad that he has defaced the oval office with them as well as with his physical presence.
Could we do something about it, outside of crying? I am not sure, but what I am sure about is that if we don't come up with something to actually do, we will have nothing but to cry!
I'm delighted for Scotland's massive celebrations, but more eager for spontaneous festivities here in the USA, following the "glorious departure" of Donald Trump.
You make me laugh so hard! Thank you for always brightening my day and helping me remember to laugh. These times are tough and laughing is great medicine. I'm in the U.S. and even I celebrated when Trump left Scotland - was so happy for them!
As I said on my restack, I envy the Scots. They got to celebrate his departure. When will it be our turn?!?!?!? 😡😡💔🇺🇸🤬🤬
Let's celebrate any country ridding itself of Trump!
Whenever he goes to another country, it's a national embarrassment for us. I just feel like apologizing to the rest of the world in advance.....
We're traveling to Europe next week, and I feel the same way. I'm going to see if I can find some "Fuck Trump" buttons that I can order and receive quickly, so we can let it be known that not all Americans are idiots.
Just tell them you are Canadian
hahaha It's a tried and true tactic. I used to do that in the 1990s when I was living in Egypt. Everybody loves Canada, especially now.
Or wear your Kamala t-shirt; mine always gets a thumbs-up.

Buy them here! Buy American! Or make your own!
Depending on where you are going, "Dump Trump in the North Sea!",
"Drop Trump into Vesuvius!", "When in Rome, vanish him in the Vatican!", etc.
I'm sure the Vatican doesn't want him after his Pope stunt.
Nor for the simple fact of his existence.
Don't worry Rebe, most of the Europeans can distinguish a real American from one of those maga-sect members.
And we also know that the maga crowd does not travel as they think they live in the nicest country on earth plus they need all their cash to buy trump's "made in China" junk.
Enjoy my "old" continent Rebe!!
Cheers! Americans like you are our best ambassadors, especially with this tyrannical regime's lineup.

That apology should be beamed by satellite to the whole world at once.
Oh, for the hack who could pull it off!
Right?!?!?
Bring on the marching bands, just not at Trump's show-off military parades.
I think the military would march voluntarily if we
got rid of "Dear Leader" and Hegseth. All the military
vets I know sure would.
Hegseth's supposedly thinking about running for governor of Tennessee. To do that he'll have to resign from being SecDef. That could be good or bad depending on what toady Dump nominates for the position. Maybe they'll at least get rid if the makeup room in the Pentagon.
How about us? How do we celebrate our getting rid of him???
By throwing ketchup bottles in the air!!!
Rather than staging some sort of huge event, I like the idea of letting it be spontaneous. We'll range from hootin' and hollerin' in the streets to quiet smiles and everything between. Variety -- just like us.
sneak onto his golf courses and shit in the golf holes.
Wish it was us
AMEN!
The only issue I see is that he won't leave the country when he leaves the white house. So we won't really be getting rid of him.
Don’t be so sure…
“The Lord moves in mysterious ways”…
just sayin…🧐🥳
"Thoughts and Prayers"
Have you consulted with Putin on this issue?
I was just thinking that Putin would not want him, but then it dawned on me that Putin is very skilled at defenestration. That consult might be worthwhile.
Trump would only bounce!
Thank you for a good laugh. That's why a poisoned hamberder could be useful.
Or skid on his own internal slime.
I just love a good defenestration.
Of corse he’d take him Susan. Putty would set him up in a nice mansion right next to Bashar al- Assad. BTW who the fuck has a dash in there name ? No wonder they ran him out of town.
I hate to tell you this, but lots and lots of people have a dash in their names. And it's THEIR, not THERE.
Well if you hated to do it then why did you? I figure it either gets you off somehow or you just enjoy correcting people.

What do you want? Good grammar or good humor?

(snicker) Way to go, Elizabeth.
Winnie-the Pooh, Billy-the Kid, Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sam Bankman-Fried just off the top, so there:-)

I like the idea of “defenestration.” Can you imagine the “splat”? Although, on second thought, he might shatter the sidewalk with an enormous whomp.
It's a hyphen, as in my name Alastair Cholmondley-Featherstanaugh.
So dashing of you.
Putin has his own problems these days
Toes up.
He'd for sure try, but he won't be center stage no more. And the Gulf of Mexico and Kennedy Center will hopefully be back... etc.
Who will perform at the Shithead Cultural Center? Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood can only be spread so thin. An evening with readings from "Project 2025" by Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson?
Boffo season!
I still find it hard to believe they are seriously considering
renaming an arts center dedicated to an assassinated
President. Unbelievable!
America has an unenviable record for assassinated presidents. So there are plenty of names to go round.
But why not? We have the Lincoln Memorial. The only construction dedicated to Trump should be The (Trump) National Center for Porcine Research
Dump's ego has no bounds.
Just the Opera House…for now.
Are you writng about Mel Gibson the anti-semite?
Yes, that Mel Gibson.
I hope his views remain in the minority.
Yes, especially now that that wrestling buffoon is no longer alive...his choices are dwindling.
Oh, I forgot Scott Baio. His career peaked with Joanie Loves Chachi. He can use the attention.
Mexico Center and the Gulf of Kennedy?
Depends on how he leaves.
Good point. I know what I would wish for.
Let ICE get rid of him. They're trained.
Great idea!
-unless the Democrats win both Houses in the mid-terms, impeach him so badly.
Trump flees to Dubai permanently!
Now for the sad truth. The midterms won't change much. We still will have a veto proof Congress. We will never get a two-thirds vote for impeachment in the Senate. The Supreme Court won't change. The billionaires will flood the airways with propaganda and buy politicians from both parties. The fight will go on for us. The Democratic Party is going to have to grow a spine. Part of that is for the electorate to participate in the process from grassroots up. I am not sure the present leadership trusts the grassroots.
Correction: The grassroots do not trust - or least has little faith in - the present leadership.
The present leadership has comfortable seats. They are raking in money from wealthy donors. The status quo is better than letting a bunch of unstable radicals upset the prosperous apple cart.
Texas just made it tougher for the Dems to win the house. Their mid-decade gerrymander has supposedly made 5 more House seats in Texas more likely to be won by Repulsives. Democratic governors are going to have to stoop low and redistrict their own states.
I would agree. Now is not the time to be nice and play. The opposition won't.
Now that would be interesting, as many of the women and girls are covered head-to-toe, he wouldn't be able to rate them?
That gets my vote!
Ooh, what a great choice of a place to flee to! I hated Dubai, for a lot of reasons, when we visited several years ago.
Maybe we'll get lucky, and he'll leave toes up.
Or perhaps the prosecutors will pick up where they left off, and he'll flee to Venezuela.
Just trying to stay positive.
Susan, his leaving the country wouldn't be good enough either.
You are assuming that he will leave the White House after the 2028 election, if he lives that long. (We can always hope he receives a visit from Dr. Death before then.) I damn sure hope he will leave the White House and take his stupid "gold" flourishes with him, but who knows?!!!

<golf clap>
I bet they will never invite him to return, although I think this visit was not an invitation.
I like Scotland.
Not soon enough!
I wouldn't hold my breath. It seems he's exploring the feasibility of a third term. If this is allowed, America is done!
Either that or a real civil war would begin!
Blue metropolitan areas surrounded by a sea of red. Not a great position to be.
ASAP!
Departure or Deportation??
When, oh when??
Could we do something about it, outside of crying? I am not sure, but what I am sure about is that if we don't come up with something to actually do, we will have nothing but to cry!
Hahaha
Caption: It's just a rectal exam. Think of it as me grabbing you by the pussy.
Someone said earlier...
"It's a prolapsed anus, sir. It happens frequently to loud-mouthed idiots who insist on talking out their assholes all the time."
Can you hear me laughing hysterically?
Perfect response !
BEST EVER.
I vote for this one!
"Very unusual finding: bone spurs in the frontal lobe."
Does explain a lot, you know, foot in mouth and all.
lol 😺😺
😻🤣🤣🤣
Celebrating that once again Scotland is great.
Look on the bright side. At least now the ankle monitor won't fit.
Aye, ‘tis true.
That's right, so it is.
“But you can’t be the fitest man in America and beyond because you are a tub of lard”.
That's a winner as far as I'm concerned!
In a related note, Scottish women say they haven't been this happy since they saw Jamie Fraser's naughty bits on OUTLANDER.
(Oh, and Andy - you KILLED with your last sentence!)
I'm delighted for Scotland's massive celebrations, but more eager for spontaneous festivities here in the USA, following the "glorious departure" of Donald Trump.
Ticker tape parades, champagne corks popping and dancing in the streets!
To Martha & the Mandella “Dancin’ in the Streets”!

Jay Jay Eh, I'm sending you a big hug for having brought in something that feels so healthy and positive.
USA,USA,USA....
I am curious about Trump’s visit to Scotland. Did any media cover his visit to the Isle of Lewis to visit his mother’s birthplace?
They trolled him on the golf course and took pictures of him cheating.
The footage of the “drop ball phenomenon” may be worth having him there this time?
Was there a golf course there?
No. He didn't go there, lucky them.
Lynn, did he really go there?
I certainly didn’t hear about it if he did. But he shoulda done it. I’m just feeling judgmental!
Lynn, judge away!
Now that you're talking about it, I do believe I heard a passing report of his having visited mamaville. Beyond that, I can't add anything.
Be careful what you wish for. Dump's departure just paves the way for JD(aka Just Demonic)Vance
You know lying makes you fat, don’t you?
This explains why he keeps getting fatter! Watch this space for side-by-side photos of Dracula Miller, Ca$h Patellalie.
Patellalie....great
Then he should be the size of the Hindenburg! About to blow!
Hamish McDorrinson 😆
Ok I’ll schedule a mammogram. Are you sure you haven’t taken Melania’s estrogen ?
"You sure haven't had one of her 'vampire' facials!"
Besting Pete Hegseth’s record? Don’t count him out. Drinking is area where he excels, possibly the only one.
There once was a pol named Trump
Who went to the Doc to check out his rump
The Doc said “you’re fine”
It’s all in your min(d)
Just use a Sharpie to lengthen your “pump”
brilliant! and a damn’ fine limerick to boot!
"I am sorry to tell you that the Bone Spurs have spread and you now suffer from Brain Spurs"
And the good news is, now you have a deferral from public office.
"--and they've also spread up your **s!
You make me laugh so hard! Thank you for always brightening my day and helping me remember to laugh. These times are tough and laughing is great medicine. I'm in the U.S. and even I celebrated when Trump left Scotland - was so happy for them!
--so happy! Even after the Scots put thistles in his mattress!
My grandmother's cankles look better than yours, tubo
Your granny's hair wasn't a horcrux, either.
Not to mention a late-night horror show!
Everything on everyone looks better than Trump.
