Stuff to consider while waiting to watch tonight’s shitshow:
From “Today’s Big Stuff,” a Substack you really ought to subscribe to, since they also cuss a lot:
Is there anyone anywhere that thinks a press corps that pissed its pants when Trump called them stupid is actually going to be responsible tonight? Yeah, we don’t either. In fact, we know they’re not. We got our hands on some of the questions the press are planning to ask the president. You’re not gonna like them…
Peter Baker, New York Time: Why haven’t you killed your last surviving son yet? Have you considered feeding him to Commander on live television?
Jacqui Heinrich, Fox News: Why don’t you hate Kamala like we do? Is it cool if we throw stuff at her?
Peter Doocy, Fox News: Do you like my red hat?
YET TO BE ASSIGNED: Mr. President, why did you make Donald Trump attack the Capitol? Why won’t you step aside for the QAnon Shaman?
YET TO BE ASSIGNED: What do you say to reporters who have had their book deals canceled because you’re not more exciting? How the hell am I supposed to afford my lake house?
Ok fine so those aren’t real. But we’re probably not that far off. Godspeed, Mr. President. Y’all have a blessed day.
To which I replied:
Sooo, regarding Clooney, let me see if I have this straight.
We're all supposed to be real concerned about the opinions of the guy who wrote, directed and starred in "The Monuments Men"? And all the other movies he has unrelentingly fucked up over the 30 years since he finally proved with "ER" that if you keep on with a one-armed bandit long enough, the law of probability says you'll eventually hit a jackpot - that people who should know better by now keep giving him money to screw up? Have I got that right?
We'll ignore for the moment that the people who keep doing that are the same ones who become Major Democratic Donors and reserve to themselves the power to decide who runs for what in Democratic politics.
Because they're so astute in their choices of how to spend money.
That's it, yes?
Got it.
When I was but a teenage sailor, I once knew an Old Navy Chief who could cuss for 20 minutes straight without repeating himself. I'm almost up to that ability today, watching the collection of clucks, clowns and cucks who make up the DC Press Corpse and the upper echelons of the Dimocratic Party.
And in closing:
(Arnold Schwarzenegger voice): “I’ll be back.” (after the shitshow)

George Clooney doesn't even
live in the US anymore. He
and his very wealthy wife live
in France and have a villa in
Italy I think, or Spain. She sits
on the International Criminal
Court. He bloviates.
As always TC, thanks for
keeping it real, interesting
and a great place where we
are free to speak and cuss.
I knew when I subscribed to TAFM that I'd be getting lots of great quotes to share. Clearly, I underestimated.
Echoing Jack Cooper, thanks for keeping it real, and amusing as hell.
