In the old days @JustcallmeFrank was one of the best, funniest friendliest very popular peeps to follow, but I think she's gone to #Bluesky? I hate when that happens..
GOD BLESS HUNTER BIDEN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
WATCH him scorch the entire Trump family 🔥
“As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him. Fuck his son. Fuck his daughter. I mean it, all of them, the whole family down to the grandchildren. I hope for the rest of time their names will live ignominy. They have done the most awful things to my family.”
Back when comedy was actually funny, before #Millennials screwed it all up and got offended by every damn thing that came out of somebody's mouth that was born before them.
“I tell ya, life isn’t easy. Today’s been a terrible day. I got up this morning, picked up my shirt, a button fell off. Picked up my briefcase, the handle fell off. I’m afraid to go to the bathroom.”
Only one RODNEY DANGERFIELD (here with Johnny in 1979).
Angus: We could explain how we built the bridge and how we paid for the bridge.
It doesn't matter. They don't care.
It doesn't matter about the fires and what we've done and what we would continue to do.
There will be another excuse next week.
All of this is about pushing us further into the corner and trying to wear us down using their enormous economic power.
I watched Trump’s speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me.
Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.
Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one.
People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.
Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.
He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.
That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.
There is a name for it.
So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.
The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.
And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.
Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was.
And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.
Just another joke at our expense.
Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that trump is a f*cking jackass for his mean-spirited attack on Kaitlan Collins. He HATES strong, intelligent women who aren't afraid of him. And smile?
He can leave that sexist bullshit in the 1970s.
Carney: "In response to these measures and threats to Canadian sovereignty, the provinces, territories, and Canadians from coast to coast have shown solidarity and taken the necessary steps to support our economy and defend our workers, farmers, businesses, and families ... We are putting together a trade network that's the envy of the world. And we intend to double this market access by the end of the year."
