Take on Trump W Bush

Trump W Bush is going to lead us into another pointless Middle East war on the back of baseless WMD claims. I can't stand what we have become but I'm totally shocked that John Bolton isn't part of it. So let's just hope that we come to our senses and not get into this thing especially on the back of Netanyahu scamming Trump.

Take in the American dream

Trump's little parade didn't do it, the US Men's soccer team doesn't feel like they will do it and with nothing little Donnie has done gives me any faith that the USA is coming out of this.
But the second I heard the news that every American can rally around..Joe Chestnut is coming back and when he puts his mind to it, nobody represents us better.

Take on the Trump phone

Trump came out with his own phone which you are sure is just a cheaply repackaged Chinese piece of junk running Android. What bothers me less are the schmucks who will buy the phone but that the fact that these hicks think rich guys wouldn't buy these heinous things. They completely represent what a what a poor guy thinks a rich guy has.

But I'm just ready to turn the page on the corrupt taco. Not sure what it Weill take but I'm not resting until we do.

Take on Trump's comment

Trump was so sad about his impotent birthday party that he's decided to double down on being a piece of shit. His moment of the day was in reference to calling Tim Walz to speak to him after the horrific political assassinations by a Trump loving lunatic Instead of just being a normal human and showing compassion, he did what he always does in these situations which is show everybody what a horrible human his is.

Take on seat 11A

Getting on a flight today, I certainly looked to see what the seat 11A equivalent was. There it sat, occupied by a heavily tatted dude who looked like he could rip the door off the handle which was sort of encouraging. But the idea that this seat now has magical powers has got to be the most ridiculous concept, the reason I want it is because there is no seat in front of me to jam into my knees.

Take on the Japanese subway.

The difference between the Japanese mass transit system and the hellhole that is what we have in and around NYC could not be more evident than a Friday night subway ride to Shinjuku station. The floors are clean, the exit is orderly, the car is quiet and there is no fear of getting shoved onto the tracks. I know the idea of criticism of our subways is unheard of by some but it's not as if our buses or commuter rails are any better, the entire concept of US mass transit is so miserable that you'd rather sleep next to a gigantic rat...which sometimes on the train you do.

Take on the catheter

There is a lot of chatter online that Trump is wearing a piss bag on his leg attached to a catheter. We know he's got weird hand bruises likely from IV injections, we know he seems to have lost mobility in his right side, we know when he stands he's got this weird crack-head forward lean, so to say he's a symbol of good health would be a stretch. What we are sure of though is that the job to have to change his piss bag and his diapers has to be one of the least sought after jobs around for any normal human while being the most desired one for a guy like Stephen Miller

Take on some smart public toilet etiquette

The Japanese really do it right when it comes to toilet etiquette. I walked into a place today and was met with a sign instructing dudes to sit in the bowl instead of trying to hit it while standing stationary. I have a decent enough aim but the little post piss shimmy means that we're all slipping afterwards.

Take on the military coming to Los Angeles.

We've been trying to detox off of Trump the last week and focusing on the good things in life like lovely toilet seats, slimy food and crappy flights but when our government starts bringing the military into our streets, we can't stand by. Obviously the scenes of burning cars isn't a good one but I don't think the Marines showing up and beating the hell out of protestors is going to be the win that Trump thinks it will be.
We know that this isn't the end and Gavin will likely get arrested in some staged scene which will vault his presidential aspirations. Here is to hoping we don't have a kid standing in front of a tank moment.

Take on Joann's

I read a headline that Michaels wa buying the Joann's private label and had a few questions. I knew that Joann's had gone bankrupt but
- did anybody realize that Michael's was not yet bankrupt?
- did anybody realize that Michael's and Joann's wasn't the exact same thing.
- is there any chance that anybody is following around the Joann label band who isn't already shopping at Michael's?

Take on slimy food

I have a friend who travels to Japan often and always describes the food as gross and slimy. Nine out of ten times I argue with him more but every once in a while I find something that even somebody as adventurous as me, wouldn't touch. My option today included sushi with horse meat, some kind of seared fowl and then the slimy looking crab brain. I will eat almost anything but there is no chance crab brain is something I'd actually spend money on.

Take on the Japanese bathroom

The Japanese do a lot of things well: food, politeness, efficiency but nothing is better than their hotel toilet situation. They have more bidet options than a high end spa has jets, when you sit down on the seat it's like sitting on a warm cloud of air and if you punch the right button combination you get a spicy tuna hand roll. I'm pretty sure the left jet uses Sapporo while the right one uses Asahi.

If spend half my life on the bowl if I lived here.

Take on the joy of flying

I work up for a flight to Asia this morning at 3:45. Was at the airport before 5am and ready to board my connecting flight when I got notification that although our first leg was on time, the connecting flight would be delayed by 4.5 hours. Delta suggests I reroute through Atlanta which I did. I spoke with the gate agent and they assured me that although the connection in Atlanta was 2 hours, id be fine. I wait around for the new flight but as I approached my gate, I see them making an announcement. My assumption is they are boarding active military members but instead we are told our 7am flight has been delayed to 9:20am meaning we will miss the connection. I frantically run to the other gate where a nearly full flight to Atlanta was taking off but couldn't get on. The agent gets me onto another flight saying that because of all the trouble, they can offer me a direct flight on United. I take the option which sounds lovely.

Till I show up at the gate and told that I'll be sitting in the back of the plane in the middle row.

Try to get back on a flight to Atlanta but that has already left and there are no seats to Detroit so I can't get there to catch that flight either.

14 hours like this is going to be absolute hell

Take on the Elon Musk battle

Is it ok to buy a Tesla again?? I don't know what it about Trump but as soon as you are his enemy, I like you slightly more. Like Rand Paul the guy who a cross between a pubic haired Brillo pad and Carrot Top who has gone from completely punchable to not totally awful purely due to the fact he isn't a MAGA sheep.

Anyway, I guess I'm rooting for Elon if for no other reason than he might be the one guy who can dethrone the big sloppy one.

Take on the blind leading the blind.

Americans continue to prove that they are imbeciles when it comes to understanding who will pay for things. These are the same people that max our credit card, drive nearly $100k pickup trucks and claim a billionaire is looking out for them.
Well Trump has convinced them that Mexico was going to pay for the wall and now that China will pay the tariffs.

Which is funny way of te explain it since I keep getting a bill.

Take on the Emailed newsletter

I know the entire concept for websites is engagements and finding people to click on links etc but there has never been a time when I've signed up for a newsletter and felt like it wasn't a regrettable act minutes later. I know we want passive information but any website that is asking me to sign up for more of their stuff will only wind up annoying me when my inbox is bombarded with junk.

Take on the flasher

Standing in a T-Mobile store the other day, I found myself waiting behind one dude. I had some time to kill, so it wasn't killing me but the note and more I waited, the further and further this dude's pants fell off. I'm not saying he was trying to channel some 90's rapper but he seemed completely unconcerned that his belt line as now even with his knees. I realize that it's not a Toys R Us but it's still supposed to be a family friendly establishment and this dude basically flashing his junk was maybe friendly but far from family friendly.

Take on white trash

I never got the guys who put the scrotum at the back of their trucks but those guys are sort of classy when compared to the guy driving the Soce Ram with the sign
Dodge the father
Ram the daughter

In this back window. Really class people.

Take on TMobile customer service

I try to cancel my T-Mobile home internet today, I wasn't getting rid of it entirely just adding it to another account but canceling it basically required an act of god. I spoke to three people in order to cancel this thing including a supervisor and it took a total of 26 minutes in order to do so. It's time to let AI cancel this stuff cause this is insane.

Take on even more tariffs

Trump was handed an much needed off-ramp the other day to walkout of the tariffs by being able to blame radical judges for stopping his policy while secretly cheering the ability to get out of this mess mostly politically unscathed. Instead he didn't just avoid that but all doubled down on more tariffs, the only thing that has proven to sink his economy.

The on Bernie Kerik

When a headline caught my periphery, with the name Bernard Kerik in it, I was sure it was because Trump pardoned him. Then I realized that anybody who has worked for Rudy is kind of persona non grata around Trump as he finds Giuliani completely disgusting

Can't totally blame him there

Take on the tariff ruling

The courts finally did something right. We know it likely won't stand on appeal but the fact that somebody stood up to Trump and his ludicrous assertion that he was imposing these tariffs under some kind of made up national emergency. This was always some weird concocted reasoning which took away the ability to authorize taxation from congress and just handed it to the executive. I'm guessing that the GOP wouldn't be thrilled with the next president used that same rationale to take away high capacity magazines.

Take on corrupt Trump

I know you are all sick of the Trump centric TOR's but when the corruption is so blatant and so in the open, I can't help it. Every day we have an other scandal that should rock a free nation to its core and every day the scandal goes away. Today we leaned that Trump will pardon a couple of reality television stars and also some other tax cheat whose mothers the fed some million dollar dinner. This doesn't even make a wave anymore because we all expect him to be absolutely on the take.

take on blame CNN news

I know it's a slow news day (sort of) but CNN really has to up their game. Today's big headline is about snooze alarms leading to more disjointed sleep. This is the most painfully obvious analysis I've ever seen and I have to say that between these medical study clickbait's and those horrible "she met him on a train between Barcelona and Madrid 40 years ago and finally found his name on a credit card receipt" crap they publish, the entire place has gone to hell.

Take on Rand

You just know the GOP has gone off the deep end with this Big Beautiful Bullshit Bill when you find yourself on the same side as Rand Paul. I get that he's coming at it from another perspective but at least he seems sensible about this. The entire concept of hugs tax cuts in the back of adding trillion to the debt seems like the thing every mainstream republics should be against, but they are all just way too afraid of Daddy Trump.

Take on inflation

When you pay more for groceries, blame Trump. When you pay more for clothes, blame Trump. When you play more for electronics, blame Trump. Realize that the cost of things will rise because Trump admit that his own interests don't align with that of our country or its citizens. But mainly rich people don't see inflation as earth shattering. They don't like paying more but it's not devastating so for them it's a buccaneer not a lifestyle change. Trump will bring inflation for no other reason than his own egotistical decisions.

Take on Trump's Apple policy.

Trump's tariff policy continue to baffle the mind. When he went after Apple today for rerouting their overseas manufacturing from China to India to avoid the Chinese tariffs, Trump threatened tariffs because he wants us to start assembling these things. Obviously that's a non starter but more than that, how the hell can you tariff a single company?? Republican complain that government should the picking winners and losers but this seems like an obvious attempt to put a thumb on the scale.

Take on the latest attack on Harvard.

I'm loving Trump's attack on Harvard and his latest attempt to bankrupt them by trying to make it illegal for them to admit foreign students. I'm not for this because I want Harvard to suffer although I can admit is a nice side effect.

I want Trump to win because it will force a battle to the Supreme court and it's the only place we have left that may still stand a chance for saving our country

Take on Olympic flag football

There is no worse idea than having NFL players participate in the Olympics weeks before training camp starts. I get that they want to grow the game but nobody cares about flag football, especially not when the US will dominate this like no other sport I can think of. But forget the imbalance, we all know some player will tear an ACL and the entire thing will be canned forever.

Take on the Kia symbol

Every time I see a Kia in my rearview mirror, I'm thinking I need to start blasting Head like a Hole. It's the oddest thing but the font they used looks suspiciously like the NIN logo and I can't quite unsee it. The most ridiculous thing is it's mostly suburban parents driving these things to soccer practice or dance recitals, Trent must be turning over in his grave.

Take on Little Donnie Trump

There is no bigger piece of dog shit than little Donald Trump. Not only has this loser made a career about trolling while looking like a complete molester, he dates heinously ugly chicks and has that hive like he can't trusted around young kids. Other than that, he looks like he smells is own farts, picks his toes and puts ketchup on a hot dog

Take on Rand

I despise Rand Paul but when you hear him talk and everything he says makes sense, it feel silence like we have entered the upside down. I'm not sure if he's changed m, we've changed or just the country has changed few with the election of the orange jubilee

.

Take on the NJ Transit engineers strike

Ok not anti union but when public servants strike and impacting the ability for me to get to work, you've lost my support. I am fine with the concept of strikes when it comes to private companies but when your job is to make sure our kids are being educated, our streets are being sweep or we are all just trying to make a living, I'm done.

Take on the Royal Rumble

We are a sick country. When did we say it was OK to have a Running Man esque TV contest to let migrants fight for their lives to become a citizen. I get the Appeal but if becoming a citizen can be done with either gold car or a gladiator style match, I'm not sure in that interesting.

Take on the Military Parade in Capital on Trump’s Birthday

Nothing seems like a bigger waste of money than that stupid military parade that Trump is planning on his own birthday. The irony of private bone spur getting honored by anything remotely ceremonious is insane

Plus this thing is going to cost like $45M and I'm calling it now, the damage those tanks will do on the street will double that number

Take on the Cybertruck

I'm not sure where it will go down I. History but the idea that Tesla's board allowed Musk to go all in on the Cybertruck is corporate espionage. We don't know what it takes to get that proof of concept off the ground but whosever allowed Musk to gamble the entire company on that riding bread box deserves what is coming for them

Take on the rigged draft

The NBA lottery has been ridged since the Knicks pulled the frozen envelope and they don't even try to hide it any lore. Whenever something catastrophic happens to a franchise, they are rewarded with a top pick. This could due to a trade (Luka) or an injury (David Robinson) or whatever. But we know they are always there to protect their bottom line e

Take on the Afrikaans

White South Africans are getting refugee status while anybody with a milligram of skin pigment is getting sent to El Salvador. I am not sure why Trump feels that the sons of apartheid need special status other than for the very obvious reasons. I am sick and tired of Elon and his boys getting their way with Trump. The corruption level has surpassed East European level circa 1985.

Take on the accepted luxury jet from Qatar

The grifting has become so blatant that they don't even try to hide it anymore. We knew Trump was compromised but the fact he's now openly courting foreign countries and accepting massive gift speaks to the ridiculous level of corruption we are seeing. These are the same people who told us about the Biden crime family, but here they are stealing and scamming with no regard to morality.

Take on Trump’s negotiating strategy with chjna

Trump's strangely with negotiations is to go really high and then negotiate with himself till he gets to a place that might be worse off than the stance beige he went into this mess. What he doesn't understand is that the pain and financial hardship put upon American companies was so devastating and costly. But he never cares as is obvious with this years roller coaster ride and he will ended up with that same deal aa we had before. What a stable genius

Take on flights

I'm at a point where even I'm starting to get a bit nervous about flying. I've been a million lied for years and have dealt with my share of missed connections, delays and crazy flights but I have still never felt afraid to fly. But when Newark airport has 90 second outages in consecutive weeks while they are severely understaffed. I get a bit worried

Not sure how to fix this as throwing money at it won't get capable trained people there tomorrow, but the fact that we are flying blind seems less that optimal.

Take on the slightly wet iPhone screen

I'm walking in the rain today and I still can't understand how we can connect to a Mars rover for like a decade but we can't figure out how to type when it's drizzling. The second there is one drop of water on the screen, the words you type nigh as well be in Swahili. I can't believe that nobody can figure this out

Take on the foot massage after The Great Saunter

After I completed The Great Saunter, I sat down at a foot massage place and when I put my feet up the Chinese woman visibly winched. Obviously after 32 miles, anybody will have some damaged dogs but when she saw mine the poor lady looked like she was going to be totally ill. I can't completely blame her but the next time she could be a little nice about it than saying "your toes are very stinky".

Take on Rudy's chubby kid

Fighter jets are falling out of the sky, great institutions are cutting their research budgets, Americans are about to pay a whole lot more for diapers and formula but Donald Duck is focusing on getting Rudy Guiliani's fat kid a job. I don't know anything about this pudgy fucker but I will say the fact he gets any attention during this time tells you he's just a large mass being used as a human shield.

Take on the Newark airport delays

We're at a point in our country where it's become increasingly obvious that our country is all too often held together with rubber bands So much of our infrastructure hasn't been upgraded in decades and with every failure it's becoming obvious we are the laughing stock. Whether it's our subways which work on some analog system from the 1900's or our air control towers working with technology from the 1960's, the first person who would run a presidential campaign on actually fixing this stuff should win in a landslide.

Take on trade

Nobody understands trade less than the president who is destroying our economy. He has imposed crippling tariffs which he thinks will help China from stealing from us. He doesn't understand that trade deficits are a natural occurrence especially if you only look at manufactured goods and don't take into consideration things like software

Takeout the empty holster



I'm convinced that when the shelves at Target and Walmart start emptying on the west coast in the next few weeks, we will finally get the uproar these tariffs deserve. There hasn't been a good argument for these tariffs as they seem to be there just to stroke Trump's ego. What he doesn't get is that XI Jingpeng is not going to back down, he's not going to fold. Trump has already shot his load with his 145% tariffs. He's dropped trade but what he doesn't get is that China can wait him out. They shut down cities for a month if there was a single case of Covid while we can't convince somebody who is coughing up a lung to put on a mask on a bus.
In China when they protect, it's in front of a tank.

Take on Pope Trump

Donald Trump is trying to add pope to his list of titles which include wannabe tyrant, lame duck, bankrupt-y, felon, adulterer and sexual predator. I'm sure this is just an off her troll but the far the probably diddled a few minors, makes the entire thing entirely reasonable.

Take on Mike Waltz

Mike Waltz was fired from his gig as national security adviser and then sent to purgatory as the new UN ambassador. I have no love for Mike Waltz but the fact he's going to take the fall for adding a reporter to Pistol Pete's Signal chat. It's shocking that at the end of the day this jackass will have to pay for Hegseth's complete disregard of national security.
