Take on terminal 1

For those people who have flown out of Terminal 1 in China, you know what a third world country experience it is. There are no decent shops, the lounges suck and ther lines are endless. The entire experience flies in the face of modern living but I guess since every flight here kind of goes to a country we're chaos rules. So it's good practice.

The on the fighter pilot poop video

Trump posted an AI video of himself dumping feces on crowds and as expected, the entire world is captivated by it. Democrats have their panties in bunch, republicans are putting panties on their heads. The issue of course is that we aren't talking about the Epstein files which is the way he wants it, well he gets it

take on Money man

Rutgers should throw in the towel. I've watched for three decades and they somehow have gotten worse. We are paying a fortune to coach who can't win the big 10. We are resigned to the fact that we can't get a competent loon to do this and are getting the lowest common . denominator .

The on Whiskey Pete


Whiskey Pete Hegseth wore a Russian themed tie to a meeting the Zelensky because he's a goal piece of crap. It's amazing how bad Trump's cabinet is at being human, it's as if he sees empathy and compassion as a character flaw. I hate all of them for their actions but their lack of any heart is shocking.

Take on the debate

Usually when there are multiple candidates on a stage there is some effort to coordinate to knock down one candidate. Usually it's the guy in second place taking down the guy on the top but in today's mayoral debate both the guy leading the polls or the guy at the back of the race used the opportunity to tell Cuomo he's a filthy and dirty slob

Take on Altman and OpenAI

I'm know he's a god to some but I find Sam Altman to be such a whiny tool. If he wasn't Sam Altman this loser couldn't get laid with $50 in a Thai brothel but I'm sure he has convinced himself that he's some kind of highly desirable man of mystery. OpenAI is going to the our great downfalls either by the artificial intelligence going rogue or the entire Ai bubble blowing up our economy. And if I'm wrong there it might just be the AI induced climate change that does us in.

The on John Bolton's @aol email address

John Bolton still using an AOL email address is the most predictable thing that we could have seen coming. We know he's a weirdo with a fetish to focus his glasses and I suspect he has some kinky side but he's anti Trump which makes him ideal for a job

Take on the Dumpy Trumpy economy

We've been told Trump is some kind of business but the harder you look at his policies, the more obvious it is that he just does things that benefit himself. Take tariffs which are a tax on consumers and paid for by Americans yet Trump convinces everybody that the Chinese are paying for it. Yet we are seeing higher prices on everything and there is no end in sight. The only thing that seems to swing both way is the market which Trump so obviously manipulated. I'm at the point now where a market correction is just the opportunity for his cronies to cash out right before he crashes the market and and then a chance to buy the dip.

Take on the white man conundrum

I'm so embarrassed by my country having elected this lunatic but when you dig into the demographics and you realize that the assumption is that I would fall right in his wheelhouse is even more saddening. I'm overseas and everybody who looks at me just assumes I voted for this. I need one of those Canadian flags on my backpack.

Take on another roller coaster

The amount of stock manipulation going on right now is absurdly criminal. Every few months Trump crashes the market, allowing his cronies to jump back in and the cash out at the top. This is what's happening in the high end chip market with Nvidia, AMD, OpenAi, Tesla and Amazon continuing to pump and dump. It's a sickening display of unchecked greed

Take on the big pending storm .

We've had an incredible fall so far. Warm weather, good amount of leaves turning and overall warm temps but not overly hot. What we also haven't gotten is any rain but that is about to chance as this storm is coming up the coast which means that everybody is going to freak the hell out. We know one thing, nothing gets Americans more turned on than a big pending storm. Watch the grocery stores empty out, the gas stations run out of gas and me not be able to get beer.

Take on Belichick

Nothing will have failed as miserably as Bill Belichick's tenure at UNC. This is going to make the Arch Manning hype to success seem reasonable as he will be gone by the end of the season having left the entirety of the program in a much worse place than when he got there Maybe it was Brady after all.

Take on the death of baseball

Baseball is so cooked. It's the chart of the playoffs and I scroll over to ESPN to catch the score of the Yankee game and the entire top of the page is hockey. Major League Baseball pianist getting preempted by the NFL or even college football, this is regular season hockey. I mean nobody watches hockey but somehow it gets higher billing than America's pastime. I'm blaming Trump.

Take on the Trump coi

I'm not sure why it angers me so much but this Trump coin has really gotten my panties in a bunch. I know this is what dictators do and we have seen over again this is his goal but the fact it's actually plausible makes me want to stab my self in the urethra. How could this have happened so quickly??

Take on Trump considering massive bailout of at least $10 billion for American farmers hurt by his trade war

Trump's latest moment involves tariffing countries then seeing they retaliate, paying off Argentina who has taken those goods and finally paying our farmers to not grow soy. This is the kind of genius business leadership we voted for and the kind of bailout the GOP claims to hate but when Trump does it, they all get in line to felate dear leader.

Take on dirty sanchez

He Jets have had two so what's memorable seasons in my lifetime and Mark Sanchez was the QB for both. I wore a Sanchez jersey when my daughter was born and embraced every minute of his tenure. He gave us the Butt Fumble but never blamed that on him, that's just Jet aura. And honestly, who hasn't gotten drunk, ordered a Mars bar on Uber Eats and tried to stab the delivery guy if he was 3 minutes late.

Take on the Tubby in Chief

Peter Hegseth doesn't want fat people in the military which must be so awkward when his boss is 5'11" 270lbs. The irony isn't lost on anybody but I'm most happy to thunk that maybe this will unsure ribbon to get on the treadmill and maybe pass up on the cheese fries.

Take on another airplane collision

What the heck is going with the FAA? The last few months have been a complete disaster with crashes, near misses and now another collision. I don't know what a government shutdown or DOGE cuts have to do with it but I think this proves it, Trump sucks.

Take on the auto gratuity and 3% giveback to the restaurant

My first mistake was going to The Sugar Factory in Times Square. My second mistake was ordering a salad. The third was buying one of those stupid drinks which was a total scam.

But the biggest scam of place isn't even on the customers. They add an automatic 20% gratuity on all parties not just large ones which just feel ludicrous but what's worse is that the fine print says that the server only gets 17% and the other 3% goes back to the house. I don't know how they justify stealing from their employees but I'm never spending another dollar in that joint.

Take on the chicken shit country

When we can't even display what slavery in this country did to people, we have gone down a path which may not be able to get back from. Whitewashing our history is becoming so common, that it hardly cracks the front page and we are just letting Orange jubilee get away with whatever he wants. But nobody cares and nobody knows what to do, ao we just let him do it.

Take on the address fill form

It's been like 20 years of the smart phone and they still have not figured out how to have the automatic address fill thing also do the state. I can't imagine this is that complicated but show this is the recapture thing.
Come on Tim Apple, figure this out

Take on urinals at federal plaza

I was at a federal courthouse the other day and these dudes know how to roll. I'm not talking about tons of people waiting to get detained by ICE but the men's rooms which have a foot pedal to flush the urinal which is completely genius. Why can't the federal government bring this kind of innovation instead of a bunch of brain dead tariffs??

Take on the Ryder Cup

In know there are tons of people into it but I don't really get the Ryder Cup. I mean I get what it is but I have never found myself wanting to spend a weekend watching this thing. This year specially, when they are all getting paid by the Saudis and all praising Trump, it just doesn't feel very American.

Take on Stephen Miller

The more space you give these guys, the more they sound like total fascists. We know that Stephen Miller is a total piece of crap but the more he opens his mouth the more he sounds like he is speaking against his own people, the mid 30's in Germany We often wonder what we would have done and this year probes that most of you capitulated to this.

Take on Zeldin

Whenever I see Lee Zeldin I wonder how something that sounds so close to greatness can be such utter crap. There may not be a more dangerous man in the administration than Zeldin whose policies won't just affect our country but a world which is spiraling quickly. I've never in my life felt more insecure about our standing in the world order and our needed leadership to make hard decisions to help our planet. Where we should be finding way to limit our fossil fuel consumption, Zeldin just wants to burn it till the levee beaks.

Take on the Trump and RFK Jr. Tylenol and autism claim

I cannot believe the timeline we are living in but the fact that our own president is on stage at a press conference calling our Tylenol by name, is crazy. Never has a pesident picked winners and losers like this one, and you know every one of these knocks or endorsements have some financial incentive for him or his family. But it's not really a scandal any row and it will all blow over in a few days

Take on the failed escalator

When the escalator failed as soon as Tubby McNutty got on it at the UN today, most people thought it was a done on purpose. I personally think those things have a weight limit and Tunny had exceeded it and now the UN is going to have to replace it. Thinks like trying to put a semi truck on a bathroom scale, it is just going to look at you crooked and stop working

The on Trump's dirty smile

The photo of Trump hugging Erika Kirk with him biting his more lip like he's about to move on her and grab her by the pu55y is absolutely disgusting. I hated Charlie Kirk but not sure that hitting on his wife at the his memorial, is totally kosher. Then again, Kirk may have found Trump taking his wife for a spin as something that was emasculating.

Take on the busters Democratic Party.

Trump directed Pam Blondie to go after his political foes and we all just collectively shrugged. We are so far past normal, that nothing matters. We have allowed all of this to just happen, we don't put up a fight or have anything other than faux outrage. I'm sick and tired of always playing the good guy, the Democrats suck donkeys.

Take on the cost of going into NYC.

One driven into NYC three of the last four weekends and the fact that it now costs nearly $25 to cross the bridge, $9 to get into midtown and $30 to park has made the entire trip ridiculous. I get the idea of congestion pricing but you've basically made it so I'm not willing to spend $65 to just get into the city. I'll spend my $150 for dinner elsewhere

Take on the totalitarian president

We have officially entered totalitarianism when Trump is threatening to pull TV licenses because Tv stations are too critical of him. We all knew he was uber sensitive but this is getting pretty desperate and of course his cronies in congress and in the judiciary are just going to go along with it. Democracy dies in Darkness has never felt more true

Take on the garbage cans

When NYC does something right, there is so much bureaucracy in the way. They are trying to keep the rats away and they finally got these big garbage cans but instead of putting them out yesterdays, they now need 7 years for them to be rolled out. In seven years I might be dead.

Take on a sinking economy

It all feels like we are at the early part of a major recession. Between the bad job numbers, the cropping credit score, the cracks I the housing market, in inevitable crypto crash, the massive tax cuta on the back of the public, the tariff level inflation, the fact Trump is trying to push public companies to only report earnings every six months, the overall sourness about our economic standing and the dropping dollar, if all feels like we are really in a bad place. The easiest prediction is that when it does happen, Trump will find a way to blame Biden or Hillary or Obama or the Easter Bunny when we get a major course correction.

take on congestion constipation

When congestion pricing first went into effect, it felt like the goal of getting less cars on the street really worked. NJTransit and The LIRR saw ridership rise Fast forward a half a year and the audition has only marginally improved We've collectively decided to pay the punch card and now it's just a miserable traffics jam

Take on Zuck


I'm sure I'm wrong but when Zuck goes all in on new technology, he usually fails miserably. The only thing he has done is buy other companies with very established technology which he brings under his Metasphere but when he tried to go after a nascent technology or out of the box concept, he usually falls on his goofy face. I really don't want his stupid glasses and I just wish he'd stop burning piles of cash with this lame innovation and just stick to making money

Thaw in the Hyundai raid

Sounds like Trump's is going after Kristi Noem of whoever runs ICE for that raid of that Hyundai plan. We know that was always an idiotic idea, plus illegal, but what bothered me before this is how Trump will not just give Ike positive feedback, he is looking to turn that Korea Air flight around and drop them off. This will only make the MAGA nuts even more nuts and watching them all melt down six going to be glorious.

Take on a salad on a pizza

I love a good pizza, whether it's NY style, deep dish, Elios or brick oven but I will never understand why somebody would put a salad on the top of a pizza. I'm not sure what the point is but an uncooked arugula is so unappealing to me when I'm eating pizza and screams trying way too hard. My only rule with pizza is that everything on it must be cooled.

Take on the Charlie Kirk suspect

So the Charlie Kirk killer wasn't trans, he wasn't gay, he wasn't liberal, he wasn't leftist, he wasn't an Islamic jihadist, he was a communist and he wasn't black or brown. The GOP has been trying to convince us for the last two days that this is some conspiracy from the democrats to start a civil war when in fact they got flanked to their right. Add to that, the problem that the stupid media picked right up on this and allowed it to be aired unchecked.

Maybe stop coming up with theories and motives until you have a suspect, numbnuts

Take on the motive before a suspect is named

After the Charlie Kirk assassination, everybody wondered who did it.  It sounded like some crazy marksman at first although arm chair twitter hunters claim it's pretty doable which doesn't actually make me feel any better.  

Then there was the motive issue which was all about trans rights which is the loudest dog whistle you can think of for these nuts.  

But when  you want a motive before you identify a suspect you get this:

The FBI have retracted reports about bullet engravings - the "pro-trans messaging" on the bullet casing was the engraved TRN on the bottom of the shell, which is actually the logo for Turan, a bullet manufacturer… 🙄

Take on health care increases

I cannot quite get over how our absolutely broken our health care system is. Reports show we are looking at another 15%increase which comes on the back of years of high digit increases while they cut back services, providers and coverage. I can't tell exactly what we should be looking at but the fact that we are the only country who sees health care as a money making scheme is sickening

Take on the Yankees

You couldn't pay me to sit through a Major League Baseball game or even watch it on TV but add this tribute and the fact they will have the 🍊 king tomorrow and what was already unwatchable becomes the equivalent of a three burritos dump. I have no interest in this organization eulogizing a divisive political figure as if he's a modern MLK or for a presidential lunatic being part of a single 9/11 event and would wish this team all the success of the Mets

Take on the signature

The lamest argument they are trying to make now is that it wasn't Donald's signature which is ludicrous on a hundred levels

- those who claim it was just first name and not a full signature haven't quite grasped the idea of your closest friend singing a personal book, you sign it with the name they call you not your passport signature

- the ones claiming it doesn't sound or look like what he would do, have to be impressed with the 30 year ruse that has been going on for three decades with it finally coming out today. Thats playing the long game.

- the idea that Epstein's closest friend would not have signed his birthday book is insane

Take on Howard

I loved Howard when I was I was in High School and college. Nobody has ever been a better out interviewer and nothing was more fun than listing for hours. I haven't ever listed to his Sirius show but can only imagine it's gotten lame and this latest attempt ruin grab is more of the same. I'm no convinced it was a big hoax and instead think he changed his mind when he thought he would completely fade outside of the public consciousness. Anyway, we hope he and Gary and Robin are all doing well.

Take on the Cheesecake Factory

I haven't been to a Cheesecake Factory in three decades but was sort of stuck there this weekend. I have nothing against a chain restaurant, finding them mostly unspectacularly solid.

I wouldn't know what to order but figured Cheesecake Factory as a pasta place to me. It's hard to mess up pasta and they featured some some kind of Cajun shrimp and chicken dish they claimed was very spicy Not only was it not spicy, it lacked any kind of spice I'm ok with lame bland food but this was their signature dish and it felt like sucking soup through a diaper.

Take on the jobs numbers

Even when Trump tried to put his thumb on the scale, he couldn't get the job report numbers he was hoping for. We don't know what he's going to do in the long run but if these reports don't start to improve quickly, he's going to fire everybody in the labor department and install Eric Trump. Please god, not Eric.

Take on Elon

Instead of going the responsible thing when Elon was going off the deep end earlier this year, the Tesla board is now going to put together a package that could eventually make him the first trillionaire. We know he's a Trump loving maniacal nut but the idea anybody would ever think to give this guy more power after what he's shown us this year

Take on Trump's attack on Rosie

Everybody is going to be screaming about how unpresidential Donald Duck is today which is exactly what he's hoping for. When I saw the post I thought that it could mean one of a few things:

- we are going to get a terrible jobs report tomorrow even after he installed a sycophant

- we are going to get congress to step up and release the Epstein files

See the more we speak about Rosie, the less we care about everything else. Just the way they drew it up.

Take on the Epstein files

Republicans starter their summer break early with the hope of the Epstein files blowing over during their absence but as luck would have it, nobody forgot. We know there will be a number of people we thought we respected in the files but what I'm confused about is why I would care if Bill Gates or Bill Clinton was in them. I don't and if they are they should be exposed because I'm not a sycophant.

Take on the AI president

When I saw videos of somebody throwing trash bags out of a window at the White House, I thought immediately they were dumping dirty diapers or rotting skin. Trump claimed it was AI generated which was odd since his own press office already admitted they were real. But this is the world we live in, Trump can say anything and we buy it. Nobody has shares more AI generated crap than he has.

Take on the latest Trump photo

The latest proof of life photos of Trump make him look like a gigantic beached whale. He's somehow gotten fatter and more lumpy looking and without the layer of orange paint, his true complexion looks like that my ass which hasn't seen the sun in decades

I think at this point we have to assume JD is running the show which is completely frightening.
