Weekend funny stuff -- Trump Watch, The Passing Scene, Animal Crackers

Trump Watch: 

Trump Watch is a regular feature now, mainly to collect the funny death-wishes I see all the time, and also to highlight other funny Trump stuff - there's just so much of it!

Narrator: He would continue to confuse “transgenic” and “transgender” for the rest of his days, which many hoped would be few.

Some other funny comments about Trump this week: 

Jeff Tiedrich / everyone is entitled to my own opinion 

Taco Donny got smacked by a court and every Republican lost their shit 

shut the fuck up, you diaper-loaders 

... the real reason Donny doesn’t work with Congress to pass laws is because that would require Donny to do actual presidenting — and Donny doesn’t want to do any of that shit. it’s too hard. he’s not going to pick up a phone, or waddle down to Congress and meet with GOP leadership to haggle out a strategy. are you fucking crazy? come on, that’s time he could be spending watching himself on TV, or cheating at golf.
Donny just wants to preen for the cameras, and play-act the role of a king.
he would much rather spend half an hour chicken-scratching his psychotic signature on whatever executive orders Stephen Miller has drafted for him, another half-hour mouth-farting inanities at the press, and then go back to fucking off for the rest of the day.
doing actual work? oh please, that shit’s for losers.... 

Here's some other good ones:

The End of Trump II, Part 1 

... the first phase of Trump’s second term — the “flood-the-zone,” shock-and-awe blitzkrieg — is over. Without Musk, the power to unilaterally levy tariffs willy-nilly, or the momentum to enact his “big beautiful bill,” Trump is left only with his vindictive rage — and his money-making schemes to enrich himself and his family.
But Trump II Part 2 may not be easy for America. I expect Russell Vought to take over the reins at Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Vought, the author of Project 2025 and Trump’s budget director in both his first and second terms, is an inside player who — unlike Musk — knows how to get things done without causing widespread backlash. He’s likely to work quietly but effectively.
Meanwhile, Trump will continue to push American isolationism. I expect Stephen Miller’s vicious anti-immigrant policies to continue, even though the courts have slowed them down. The regime may now shift its focus to a more comprehensive dragnet targeting undocumented people inside the United States. And Trump’s belligerence toward America’s traditional neighbors and allies will continue.
Trump is not giving up on any of this. In fact, I expect that in Trump II Part 2, he’ll grandstand even more. He’ll rage against judges and take whatever he can to the Supreme Court. And his giant budget-busting tax cut will continue to be a focus of his demands on Congress.
But the frenzy of Part 1 is now over. There will still be bonkers executive orders and many headlines, and we must continue to resist however we can.

You would think they might be a little embarassed to admit this (by the way, PDB stands for President's Daily Brief and it is the top secret stuff):

Absolute fucking clown show
