t is a complete germaphobe. He has called shaking hands "a barbaric practice that spreads germs" and it's one of the main reasons why he prefers fast food like KFC and McD's. Minimal contact with human hands.
Trump said he couldn't be in the Pee Tapes because he's a germaphobe.
Now he's saying the back of his hand is bruised because his admirers--who have extraordinarily long thumbs--routinely crush his hand in a germ-laden shake?
So does this mean he is in the Kremlin's Pee Tapes?
The irony of it all is t's claims of being a germaphobe and won't shake hands with people because of "germs" doesn't seem to hold water. Especially, when he was willing to grab women by the crotch. And have unprotected sex with countless underage girls.
Donny is off to bombing the Caribbean-Putin and that war are fading! The Security policy they drew up reinforced, like Eisenhower, that the US will function in this realm! (Project 2025 guys made sure that was in there) The Project 2025 founders are not so enthralled with the Putin support nor are they "in hawk" to Putin and his oligarchs like Trump and as Trump is heading to having his hands tied in 2026, Putin is moving towards China, india, North Vietnam etc.is my guess!
Putin is moving towards them because he is desperate, and they are extracting significant strategic economic and political losses from him because they know it.
Even if there are pee pee tapes, so what? So much else of what we know he's done is far worse. Those tapes are a, meh. More significant are the financial dealings with Russia. Felonhead wants to be as rich as Putin.
Trump is great at tearing things down, but he can't build anything. Wants to tear down four more government buildings but hasn't even started building the ballroom yet. Now the subject of a lawsuit. Dumped the East Wing soil on those golf courses he wants to take control of. Gutted the IRS, gutted the Education Department, destroyed USAID, destroyed the Peace Institute and named the hollow shell after himself. Wants his own face on the dollar coin. Aside from rounding up a lot of hard working immigrants, what has he actually accomplished? Zilch, zero, nada. Who cares about an arch? MAGA has torn down the ACA and has nothing to replace it with. Failures left and right in foreign affairs. Congress, work with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, and line up cushy jobs for the Cabinet members who need to be retired immediately (like Hegseth).
He's going to build Trump's ark, and he and Melania, along with every other Republican in this country, elected officials and Republican voters alike, are going to enter the ark. And then God is going to...flood and destroy the ark, and spare the world instead. And then God is going to give us the rainbow as a sign...missing the red stripe.
Yes Mike! "L'Arc de Triomphe", Arch of Victory is not an Ark (that would be Noah) nor is it an arc (used in English as a curve mostly)! I feel my theory that Trump Sr. began buying favorable report cards somewhere between the 2nd and fourth grade is well-founded!!
Either that, or they hired a smart-but-poor student to take donny's place in class. I can tell you that the iDJiT didn't even get exposed to learning, or he would have at least absorbed some knowledge by osmosis.
no cushy jobs, not even cushy prisons....all must go to maximum security prisons where they can all be brutalized by the very people who are the model that the trump mafia uses...
We have become so adept at describing our situation! With so much intensity & focus, the change we wish for is bound to come popping in any moment now!!
That's exactly where my mind went. All of those materials, dust, dirt, debris are loaded with fine particles of asbestos. No safety measures were taken; no permits were acquired. Just a shit show.
The bulletin captures the chaos well, but what strikes me is how much of this is deliberate behavioral manipulation.
As I argued in my latest piece, the system thrives on delay, ritual, and spectacle…not because justice requires it, but because power feeds on it. Every twist in the courtroom or Congress is less about law and more about how long anxiety can be stretched, how much theater can be extracted.
That’s the real danger: cruelty normalized as governance. Until we name the mechanics: delay as domination, spectacle as distraction, cruelty as the operating system; we’ll keep mistaking theater for justice and manipulation for politics.
It is called "future faking." Future faking is a narcissistic-sociopathic trait where everything is promised "in the spring" or "next term" or in "two weeks." It's a method of power and control and abuse. A pack of lies. I don't understand why the media doesn't focus on this. Also, the phenomenon of parasocial relationships with media figures. Trump and his handlers fully exploit this well known phenomena. Yet the media says nothing.
I want to see the WH faces as Trump starts throwing people under bus! I see he will decrease or modify arrests, and he will toss Steve Miller the keys to a big bus and let him know he is on his own cause, "things happen Steve-guess you can handle it"! Plus he will redirect that budget over to the wall!
The AI developers must pay for every last bit of the energy they consume and for the cost of building the infrastructure they need. Then, they need to pay a fair share of their income/profits in taxes. This applies to their investors.
Even if they pay, they are stressing already challenged grids. Money does not make up for the destruction and pollution to create that energy.
Then, there is the enormous amount of water they require for cooling. Communities will find their water resources challenged.
This is a no win situation for communities and our climate. Given the present leadership's want to provide no regulation, we are quickly headed into deep shut.
And they're being built by the (nearly) dozen in southern desert AZ of all places. Residents in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler are seeing their ELEVENTH data center being built. WTAF?
Depends on the deal the AI developers made with the state or local government, doesn't it? And often the big companies get a great deal on tax breaks, land, regulations, etc. I believe they should pay for all the energy they consume plus upgrades to the electric grid: but that won't happen in those states that value money over people's lives. :(
Amazing isn't it, he shakes hands and gets bruises and has to bandage his hand, but his ear that was 'shot' miraculously healed with no scar and no missing pieces!! 🤬🤦♀️
Isn't that silly, he forced them to take the dirt from the White House demolition and now he is taking their golf courses. Sounds like he is going to build mountains on them of debre from his Washington projects. And he is the one that famously said that Obama plays more golf than Tiger Woods, and that he would be too busy running the country to play golf. Sooner or later, the fools supporting him are going to figure things out, and unfortunately for us, we will be trillions deeper in debt, with far fewer friends in the world.
This country has no friends. Our previous friends have finally realized this country is no longer trustworthy, and that this country has purposefully chosen to be Putin's puppet. And whatever money this country had, is no longer the people's...it is the felon's. :(
Fox: “DHS is amending its immigration enforcement operations by moving away from raids targeting all illegal immigrants in the US and focusing more on the ones who have committed serious offenses." Isn't that how it was SUPPOSED to be from the get-go???
Here is what they did about 4 days ago in Yuba City, CA. Yuba City is in a small, rural, red Northern California county.
ICE contacted a trucking company and requested that the owner provide all the information regarding his employees. He reportedly sent in 100 employee information packets. Then ICE notified 15 of the employees to meet them at private business locations, i.e., Taco Bell and Starbucks. 9 of the 15 were arrested at these locations.
This link is from you tube and it appears to be a newscast. The original is in the Punjabi language. I will try to get the link in English; if, I'm not successful just click the cc and you can get it in English. The part about the truckers starts at 18minutes.
As of the morning of 12/14/2025 they still didn't know where the nine truckers were. If my friend is working later today I will ask him if they have found out yet where they are.
My friend was not working on the 15th and the man who was working said something about two of the employees; but, with his accent and my poor hearing I'm not sure what he meant. I will keep checking. I probably won't be going there for another day or two.
No surprise and no shock here. Because our news is such propaganda for the regime, we often don't know the worst of what happens. Independent news doesn't have the reach of mainstream media. In addition, red state governments refuse to release certain statistics such as the number of deaths of pregnant women and girls. So we don't get good data on how many of us are dying.
Thanks for the news story. I'm so sorry MAGAs are allowed to continue to harm others: but that's who and what they are, I guess.
I suspect that only the East Indians even know about this. When the elderly Sikh lady was arrested I believe a report was also made as my friend's employer mentioned it. I have been told, hearsay of course, that many of the East Indian communities are having second thoughts about how "great" the orange turd is.
lmao When I read this it took me a few minutes to stop laughing. I read that Hispanic males voted overwhelmingly for the felon in the last election. Even those who had come from an authoritarian country like Cuba, still voted for the felon. smdh Since these men and women are now seeing others of their heritage be disappeared by the felon's regime - some of them born in the USA - they probably won't vote for the goon again. Uh oh... So ICE had to make a statement about them not being so horrible. If they vote for the felon again - they'll deserve whatever they get, but we won't. :(
I also read an article in the USA Today, about almost a whole family working as ICE agents: daddy, 2 sons and a daughter. They wanted us to know that it was the Border Patrol that was acting so violently. ICE didn't use violence, and their arrests are done quietly (so we wouldn't know, right? smh) And they wore masks to protect their families because we threatened them. LOL smh
totally agree....people must experience what they vote for...and they have short memories so after the dems have 'gifted them all sorts of stuff' they'll vote for another dictator.....that's why i aks the federal politicians (and even state politicians) .....
Will you respect the voters in states and counties that vote for republican values and not democrat values…meaning don’t force democrat benefits on them…if they want any ‘democratic party’ benefits like childcare/education/food benefits, they must have a referendum in that state or county to decide, and if the majority say yes, then they get what they vote for and nobody can say it was forced on them from outside their state or county…
there are verrrry few politicians who will even read that twice let alone act upon it....so we will be back in the same old same old political disfunction.... :(
Trump should have gotten a PICC line painlessly installed in his side to receive medications, as I did during care in 2018. With such an indwelling catheter, there’d be no hand bruising, and the First Weenie also would avoid frequent needle sticks for IVs. Whose MAGA mitts also get destroyed by nonstop handshaking? Fox picks at Jordy and MeidasTouch, but they don’t support their own case here.
I would sue lying Foxx news and Djudas if I were you Meidas. Anyone who listens to either one of these two needs to see a pych doctor, for listening to their unhinged lies.
I'm a retired registered nurse. Patients who need regular long-term intravenous infusions usually have a PICC line (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter). And if not, they would not use the same site repeatedly.
First off…who shakes hands with the back of their hand?
I wouldn't shake that nasty man's hands. All the places he touches. Actually I don't want to be on the same planet as orange.
t is a complete germaphobe. He has called shaking hands "a barbaric practice that spreads germs" and it's one of the main reasons why he prefers fast food like KFC and McD's. Minimal contact with human hands.

Oh I think he claims a "mulligan" on any indiscretions!!
You know he is!
Don't think Putin will get tired of Donnie; he's his biggest ally.
Donny is off to bombing the Caribbean-Putin and that war are fading! The Security policy they drew up reinforced, like Eisenhower, that the US will function in this realm! (Project 2025 guys made sure that was in there) The Project 2025 founders are not so enthralled with the Putin support nor are they "in hawk" to Putin and his oligarchs like Trump and as Trump is heading to having his hands tied in 2026, Putin is moving towards China, india, North Vietnam etc.is my guess!

Oh Putin is done with Trump-he sees Trump is losing it and is losing power which makes him of no use to him!!
Which is absolutely hilarious because he is MORE likely to be in contact with pathogens eating fast food than having a private chef.
Exactly!!
Nobody
I was just going to say that myself! You beat me to it.
Trump is great at tearing things down, but he can't build anything. Wants to tear down four more government buildings but hasn't even started building the ballroom yet. Now the subject of a lawsuit.

"Who cares about an arch?"
He calls it an arc. Or an ark. He doesn't even know what to call the eff'n thing. SMDH...
He's going to build Trump's ark, and he and Melania, along with every other Republican in this country, elected officials and Republican voters alike, are going to enter the ark. And then God is going to...flood and destroy the ark, and spare the world instead. And then God is going to give us the rainbow as a sign...missing the red stripe.
Amen
Dang, you nailed it Enricka!! Perfect! Take all the bad creatures so they can't reproduce!!
Yes Mike! "L'Arc de Triomphe", Arch of Victory is not an Ark (that would be Noah) nor is it an arc (used in English as a curve mostly)! I feel my theory that Trump Sr. began buying favorable report cards somewhere between the 2nd and fourth grade is well-founded!!
Either that, or they hired a smart-but-poor student to take donny's place in class. I can tell you that the iDJiT didn't even get exposed to learning, or he would have at least absorbed some knowledge by osmosis.
True! You might be right, seriously Paula! I mean, what would surprise us at this point?
I wonder if that East Wing soil that was dumped on the golf courses is contaminated with asbestos 😬.
No doubt.
no cushy jobs, not even cushy prisons....all must go to maximum security prisons where they can all be brutalized by the very people who are the model that the trump mafia uses...

A lot.
Loads!!
CBS News: Brought to you by.... Chia Pet. You can't make this stuff up.
In my opinion CBS is done.
Regardless, I am done with it. Disgusting.
That's exactly right. Stick a fork in it; CBS is cooked.
Oh. like dinner! And as always, what the hand of trump toucheth, the same falleth!
No-it will all end up in the Ripley's Museum one day!

Good point and capturing what you discussed in your last article.
On the economy, Trump said good times are coming. Next year: “You’re going to see results in 6 months to a year.”
It’s sad what inflation has done to “two weeks.”
Yup, I bet the job speculation adapts the same language!
Better to buy that one pencil as he suggests, while it is still......affordable?
It is called "future faking." Future faking is a narcissistic-sociopathic trait where everything is promised "in the spring" or "next term" or in "two weeks." It's a method of power and control and abuse. A pack of lies. I don't understand why the media doesn't focus on this. Also, the phenomenon of parasocial relationships with media figures.

Plus he will redirect that budget over to the wall!
We can forget about the media
Umm... last line of the first paragraph...
My response?
"No, Karoline. The president's skin has ALWAYS been thin."
🙄
LOL!! Well done!!
I will never be known as someone who kept her mouth shut.
I am totally okay with that.
Glad I could make you chuckle. 😇
Love it Nettie!!

Good news! https://www.kjzz.org/business/2025-12-12/this-arizona-city-council-rejected-a-proposed-ai-data-center
Go fucking Chandler AZ! They actually already cleared the land and were ready to build. Glad to hear enough people gave a shit to stop the shit.

Insanity.
Wouldn’t it be great if all AI was behind a pay wall!
This is an idea I can get behind.🙂↕️
They get the cheaper "Trump's pocket" discount and the tax-payers get the bill!
Just think as electricity prices as grocery prices! "they will go up for a bit but then the big rewards will come and drop prices to barely anything"
lol
Depends on the deal the AI developers made with the state or local government, doesn't it? And often the big companies get a great deal on tax breaks, land, regulations, etc. I believe they should pay for all the energy they consume plus upgrades to the electric grid: but that won't happen in those states that value money over people's lives. :(
That would be a start, but not even close to adequate.
Amazing isn't it, he shakes hands and gets bruises and has to bandage his hand, but his ear that was 'shot' miraculously healed with no scar and no missing pieces!! 🤬🤦♀️
Good point KB!
lol Thanks for the chuckle.
There is a scar, but I hear ya. Just how fucking stupid does that dumb bitch think we are??
Bari Weiss…. Yes even Jewish people can and do support Nazis - miller and Weiss are proof of this! I am Jewish and these two are an abomination! Real
Jewish people abhor the Netanyahu Israel do NOT support any support of Israel except the conviction eviction of war criminals including trump
thank you. totally agree

We already are
Yup!!

the fools supporting him may NEVER work that out....they are lobotomized by trump propaganda koolaid.

That is horrible. So does the employer know where his employees were taken, and what is happening to them? Name (and shame!) the 'trucking company'.
As of the morning of 12/14/2025 they still didn't know where the nine truckers were. If my friend is working later today I will ask him if they have found out yet where they are.

I last saw my friend on either 12/30 or 31st and still no word.

But you can’t golf w a PICC and ‘win’ tournaments.
You can if you fill the scorecard out BEFORE the tournament!!:)
That would make it harder for the regime to lie about his health &/or treatment though.
His right ear looks pretty good. That's some miraculous healing there. 🙄
I would sue lying Foxx news and Djudas if I were you Meidas. Anyone who listens to either one of these two needs to see a pych doctor, for listening to their unhinged lies.
If Trump’s skin gets any thinner it’ll be nonexistent.
A reporter should go to every congressman over 80 and ask if they are having any trouble with the back of their hands from shaking hands. 😂
This handshaking excuse is just nonsense.
I'm a retired registered nurse. Patients who need regular long-term intravenous infusions usually have a PICC line (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter). And if not, they would not use the same site repeatedly.
