FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2025
..."every third Friday" is here: Last week, the timing of our medical mission underwent a change.
We've advanced from "an every fourth Tuesday" regime to a new "every third Friday" approach. And, as happenstance would inevitably have it, the first of those medical Fridays is here.
Barring a subway derailment, we will be posting this afternoon. As President Trump follows Fabian (and Capucine) North to Alaska, a great deal is going on.
Revolution is in the air. Can we Blues save sacred Troy? In our view, the answer's not clear.
The treatments seem to be working. Bob is actually a little more cognitive these days. Good luck to him.

ReplyDeleteRest assured, Bob: we BlueAnons will save sacred Troy! And more! There's no limit for The Politics of Joy!
No worries, Bob.
ReplyDeleteTake as much time as you need to take care of your business.
Rest assured, the Republican Party will still be protecting child rapists when you get back.
Troy is a distraction. We are busy trying to save our own country. A judge let the sandwich-thrower out of jail, agreeing with his lawyers that he was being over-charged.
ReplyDeleteEvery third Friday is more often than every fourth Tuesday. If Somerby means the third Friday of every month vs the fourth Tuesday of every month, then it is just as frequent and not an "advance" at all.
But you Somerby flatterers shouldn't forget to tell him what a great athelete
Somerby's problems are due to his own bungling, his own failure. He wasted his life diddling in the dark and lovely woods, trying to find the best ways to capitulate to right wingers, and now the chickens have come home to roost.
DeleteCouldn't happen to a more good and decent person.
He dumped you, didn't he? And the bitterness lingers.

ReplyDelete$205 billion taxpayers' money saved by DOGE!
Great job, DOGE. Keep draining the swamp, please. But if I were you, 90% of all federal bureaucrats would've been fired, gone by now. Deported to Canada.
Let's see, checks notes, Federal spending is up under Trump. What the fuck, DOGE sucks Big Bloody Balls. Everything Trump touches goes to shit,. Watch the fucker take a giant shit on Ukraine today. He is a weakling who is scared of his boss Putin.
Delete"Everything Trump touches goes to shit,"
DeleteThat's a helluva lot of pre-teens going to shit.
Sir, I bought the required amount of your personal meme-coin. I’ll be at the private meme-coin-donor dinner next week at Mar-a-Lago.
DeleteLooking forward to discussing ways to drain the swamp (and a few other things).
Yay yay yay, inflation is up and so is unemployment, and we have no trade deals, and Trump keeps changing his mind on tariffs, and Trump is blowing up the deficit/debt to fund tax cuts to the rich, but at least Trump cut funding for cancer research and international support for crises around the world (which will directly lead to the deaths of millions of people) so we can pretend he is draining the swamp, even though he has only worsened the swamp, filling his admin with neoliberals and neocons.
DeleteWhat happened in the Iliad was not a revolution because the Greeks on the beach didn't come from Troy. That made it an invasion. If we count Russian interference in American politics in order to put Russia's puppet into office, then perhaps what happened in 2016 and 2024 can be considered an invasion too. Is that what Somerby is hinting with his tedious references to Troy again today? Probably not, since he never gives any thought to his allusions.
ReplyDeleteIt is trivial but annoying that Somerby keeps doing this. Why can't he discuss politics in terms of what is actually happening in our country? He is out the door to visit the doctor but cannot resist a parting shot at Dems. Whatta guy.
Who do you think Trump is a bigger bitch for, Putin or the Deep State?
ReplyDeletePutin.
DeleteWho do you think Trump is a bigger bitch for, Putin or the Deep State?
ReplyDeleteThe Deep State.
DeleteGeorge Soros.
DeleteIf you want to learn about the real deep state, start looking at entities like Sullivan & Cromwell, Brown Brothers Harriman, Prescott Bush, the Dulles brothers, Reinhard Gehlen, etc. There is a fairly straight line from the robber barons to the Nazis to the CIA to the worldwide drug trade to Mossad to Reagan economics/secret weapon and drug deals, nuclear power being a front for distributing weapon grade material to Israel, South Africa, and others, on and on.
DeleteOh if you are worried about grooming and pedos, the only party that represents those are the Republicans, their ranks are full of them including our current president.
I truly feel we are getting closer and closer to a nuclear conflagration with each passing day. There is an unstable lunatic megalomaniac holding the button and nobody is doing a fucking thing about it.
ReplyDeleteTrump certainly gives off the vibe of a spurned lover who takes everyone out, because "If I can't have you, nobody can".
DeleteNo shit, everything is personal with this motherfucker. He's crying about never getting a Kennedy Center award, just took over the award ceremony and made himself Chair of the Olympic Committee. In his spare time he will review national museums to make sure they don't offend him in any way, as he is extorting universities and law firms.
DeleteTrump is out to lunch, he does not know what the fuck he is doing.
Deletethank you for your attention on this matter
Don't worry, I here he has god jeans and is a relatively relation to a jeanius.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't out-debate fascists in the 1930s and 1940s. We defeated them with violence. We'll have to meet that challenge again.
ReplyDeleteConservatives have more guns.
DeleteWe don't need guns to win an argument like your side, just facts. Your leader thinks like a fucking toddler you fucking fascist fucking freak now promoting violence against fellow citizens. What a sick piece of work David is. Fuck you David -
Delete""he has the emotional development of a small child. Like maybe three years old:
"When U.S. President Donald Trump called Norway’s finance minister last month to discuss tariffs, he also told him he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, Norwegian business daily Dagens Naeringsliv reported on Thursday.
Several countries including Israel, Pakistan and Cambodia have nominated Trump for brokering peace agreements or ceasefires, and he has said he deserves the Norwegian-bestowed accolade that four White House predecessors received.
“Out of the blue, while Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called,” Dagens Naeringsliv reported, citing unnamed sources.
“He wanted the Nobel Prize – and to discuss tariffs."
In a comment to Reuters, Stoltenberg said the call was to discuss tariffs and economic cooperation ahead of Trump’s call with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Stoere. “I will not go into further detail about the content of the conversation,” he added.
Several White House officials, including U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer were on the call, Stoltenberg added.
The fact that a bunch of people were on the call confirms this story is accurate, as otherwise his minions would have issued furious denials."
"Who would have guessed Americans would just give up their free country to a senile old man who rapes children, and his laughable gang of braindead Fox News hosts, without a fight.
DeleteAll those hundreds of millions of proud gun owners, beaten by a fat, moronic felon.
It's truly pathetic to watch"
Mueller collated the polling data. Which was later found in a certain laptop.
Delete"Conservatives" wanted all the guns to protect against the government coming after Americans, yet here we are, Trump is mobilizing the military to go after Americans, but the "Conservatives" are suddenly silent, looking away as if there's nothing to see.
DeleteTypical of "Conservatives", lacking integrity is a feature, not a bug.
While it may be true that "Conservatives" have more guns, they are generally beta cucks, servile to their cult leader, and will be no match for angry Dems, who increasingly are moving to a take no prisoner stance.
Good thing you are on death's door David, a hateful and bitter old man, you may escape having the shit beat out of you due to pity, but I wouldn't want to be a Republican, Dems are getting more indignant by the day, they are not playing.
Answer David, the guy who wants to murder fellow citizens. "what is the evidence that Trump is prepping us for the military to be stationed in our cities?"
ReplyDeleteThe jaggoffs own words,
"We're not going to lose our cities over this," Trump said as he mentioned plans to potentially expand his crackdown on crime to New York, Chicago, Baltimore and other cities. "This will go further.""
Fuck you David you fucking lying piece of shit.

Trump is reducing the number of black Americans being murdered. What's wrong with that?
DeleteDid he fire another statistician?
Delete"Trump is reducing the number of black Americans being murdered by reducing the number of black Americans."
DeleteFTFY
Answer fuckhead, who said their will be more troops in Democratic cities ?, jagoff.
DeleteIt's amusing, David, how you predicate your rhetorical questions -- "What's wrong with that [few black Americans being killed]" -- made-up, non-factual statements. We'd have to accept your predicate first: Trump has done something to reduce the number of murders.
DeleteI support Gavin Newsom’s anti-redistricting plan and have sent him a donation. The Dems are fighting back against Trump’s demand that Abbott get him 5 more seats in TX. I Somerby were a Democrat, he would support Newsom’s plan too. Instead, Somerby cannot even spell his name. Noem sent ICE to threaten people at Newsom’s press conference yesterday. That’s how a police state works.
ReplyDeleteMoney talks. Somerby’s bullshit walks. Gavin is doing something to fight Trump. We need to get behind him or lose our democracy. Taking back the House can stop Trump.
So happy for you, Bob!
ReplyDeleteShorter Cecelia: !
DeleteCecelia is happy Bob has something like cancer and is in his last days.
DeleteHey, I guess if you go around as a man pretending to be a woman, you become a heartless asshole.
Who knew?
