“Donald Trump doesn’t give a fuck about even looking like he gives a fuck” — Jon Stewart

I gave the new Morning Joe newsletter — written by Scarborough himself — a chance, I really did. Then today he ran this and I cancelled.

When Trump gives a rambling, incoherent interview the media call it “wide-ranging.”

I get that Trump has shit taste. But don’t these designs hurt his eyes? When I look at them I get something like snow blindness.

“Under the Depths” is a 1905 illustration very relevant today. From @meidastouch.com

If only we could get Thanos to dust a very specific 30% of American humans.

I hate that perhaps the greatest American novel, The Great Gatsby, is now forever linked in my mind with Donald Trump.

I’m willing to bet that Trump suddenly started watching Seth Meyers because in his channel guide he saw thumbnails of Isla Fisher and Emma Stone. @latenightseth.bsky.social

“It is imperative that we continue to focus on Donald’s failing cognitive health.” youtu.be/Bk3ypkDpmvg?...

An all time classic World Series. It’s a shame someone had to lose.

On November 1, 1800 John Adams became the first U.S. president to move into the White House.

Karoline Leavitt was “horrified” by the toilet in the Lincoln Bathroom?? First of all, fuck her, how dare she. Second of all, if I had three wishes one would be for Leavitt to wake up in one of Jigsaw’s games. Let her recalibrate her definition of “horrified.”

The proper reply to everything Trump says or does: “And still, Donald, your dad wouldn’t love you.”

What makes the unhinged Nancy Mace calling TSA agents "fucking incompetent" all the more galling is that because of *her* incompetence, they are not getting paid." As my mother would say, she is not a well woman. www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

Is it just me or did the Lincoln bathroom look a lot nicer before Trump did his usual? www.cnn.com/2025/10/31/p...

I was typing “routine” on my iPhone and it came out “poutine.” Great, now I’m craving poutine.

Happy Halloween!

Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover Tens of thousands of seats are left empty. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

If the next administration thinks tearing down the ballroom is too expensive, here’s how to raise enough money to pay for it: let Americans pay$20 to spray-paint something on the interior walls, $50 to piss on them.

In “The End of the Innocence” Don Henley and Bruce Hornsby wrote the line “this tired old man that we elected king” about Reagan. If only they could have foreseen Trump.

Ready for Election Day! #yeson50

Vote yes on Prop 50 in California on November 4. Ignoring the GOP's map fight won't protect fair representation. Show other blue states Californians are fighting back against the GOP's underhanded tactics.

This was very cool.

Why did it take until today for Deadline White House to do a segment on Trump’s doddering Japan walkabout? And why was is so brief, and more about Biden than Trump, with no mention of Trump’s other other physical and mental problems? And why does MSNBC continue to ignore Trump’s obvious catheter?

A man who thinks wet magnets don’t work is claiming the Nobel Prize in Physics.

I’m a huge fan of Lawrence O’Donnell’s, but his repeatedly calling Kash Patel “Kashyap” seems icky to me. It feels a little like when Trump says “Barack Hussein Obama” and is very much unlike and beneath Lawrence.

Trump says he wants to resume nuclear testing but doesn’t seem to know why. “Trump may be stuck in… Cold War mentality, trying to show his toughness by resuming testing” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“[Trump] said—this was given to me as a quote—he said, ‘F---. But can we do the demolition at night?,’“ Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles. “So the idea would be, Washington would wake up and the East Wing would have evaporated,” Coles said. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-ordere...

Happy National Cat Day from Tuck and Macy.

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

To my knowledge MSNBC has never once mentioned Trump’s catheter. Plainly visible in photos, but not a word. Nor have they given much air to Trump’s walkabout in Japan. I hope MSNOW! does a better job.

If Trump knew how many Americans were opposed to the ballroom he’d say, “What the hell do they care? They’ll never set foot in it.”

Joe Scarborough ends the Morning Joe newsletter with this: “Forty years after Nebraska, Springsteen’s heroes are still looking for a reason to believe.” This takes guts from Joe, who shamelessly ripped off Springsteen (and shamelessly exploited 9/11) with this POS: youtu.be/gYxi7_kW2X8?...

Republicans have no money for SNAP to feed Americans, but when this guy needs $40 billion to bail him out before his election, that becomes Trump’s #2 priority after his ballroom.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-event— media silence. This isn’t the first time. What’s up?!

Reminder:

RIP Prunella Scales an absolute acting icon

Trump keeps saying the East Room has a maximum capacity of 88 for dinner. Here is the dinner for the ballroom’s corporate donors. 130 people, not looking the least bit cramped.

“‘You’ve got to remember the White House was designed during the French Revolution years… Jefferson did not want a palace of Versailles. Jefferson’s head would have exploded if he had seen this. I have no doubt in my mind, he would have gone insane.’” www.thedailybeast.com/how-trumps-t...

Trump’s vile Madison Square Garden rally was one year ago today. And still we’re here.

How many times do you think Trump will tell Prime Minster Takaichi that Abe nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize and suggest she should do the same? Follow-up: How many times will he expect Xi to compliment that “beautiful chocolate cake” they had at Mar a Lago?

As long as donors write checks, the “cost” of Trump’s ballroom will keep going up. It’s the “Springtime for Hitler” principle, but for a building instead of a show.
