Put on your slicker and turn up your hood, because I’m about to rain on the commentariat parade that has spent the day stomping on Kimberly Guilfoyle, she of the recent break-up with Donald Trump Jr.
When I see it all in one place I realize this guy is so single-mindedly uneducable his plan is to do to the U.S. what he repeatedly did to his business ventures, amuse himself while he grinds it into the ground, expecting somebody else to clean up his mess.
daien I pray I am mistaking what you have said here. Do you not know he "advertises" for Billion dollar donations in exchange for their getting special treatment (laws changed etc etc) .. please help me understand
We have to resolve not to live in fear of the Orange Fuhrer, he may be serious but the sycophants and misfit toys he's threatened to select for his government are not. Almost everyone he selects is a Loser, we can count on incompetence. His billionaires have a huge interest though in keeping the economy humming, so we've got that going for us even if all else implodes. Hang on for two years and we pick up the pieces that are left. LTK, at least keep the snark coming in the meantime, we need some fun amid the gloom.
I knew this detestable creature when she was a deputy prosecuting attorney in San Francisco.
This was before the horrifying botched plastic surgery and meretricious Vegas-showgirl makeup.
She even worked as a Victoria’s Secret model in those days — before her face made you want to run screaming from the room.
The indelible image she will leave for history is dancing to “Gloria” as the president incited his cultish followers to invade the Capitol and overturn the election:

It reminded me of the scenes of Eva Braun, dancing in the chancellery above the bunker in the movie “Downfall”.
May her historical legacy resonate in the same lower circle of hell … vomitous.
I remembered when she and Gavin married and then divorced. Those were during his days of heavy drinking which got him into trouble as mayor of San Francisco. He cleaned up his act and married Jennifer Seibel, and had kids. Kimberly went on a plastic surgery spree with her face and boobs. The woman is a self-made megaphone with big lips to boot!
That facial plastic surgery sure didn't improve things at all. In fact, it turned a reasonably attractive woman into a hideous caricature that is difficult to unsee.
12/12 SFgumshoe When I witnessed that Guilfoyle's dance in the tent of Capitol insurrection event watchers, I will NEVER forget it- DJT Jr was encouraging her!
My son and I concluded about a year ago that the only way to deal with the New Reality is a liberal application of Occam’s Razor-
we are living in a season of adventurous absurdity written and directed by Andy Kaufman, produced by Vince McMahon and adapted from a novel co-written by Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller.
I agree with you, I have used snark as a means of trying to lessen the stress of the real damage and heartbreak he is going to cause. I have been telling people to take what he says he will do since he was running for his second term. Trump shows that a man can be a buffoon and absolutely malevolent at the same time. What is coming isn’t a joke. We will be fighting for the very soul of America as he and his company of billionaire thieves, and assorted criminals and thugs are planning to do to us and our country.
Thank you for this reminder, peace and watched your six.

Lucian, I and many others need and anticipate your continued guidance. Please stay well, have a healing holiday season, and continue your important role in our education. Best to your family.
I have said a number of times that these appointments (of the woefully unqualified) are designed to distract us. This time Donald and pals intend to loot the Treasury. Personal enrichment of a few billionaires is the goal.
What is happening couldn’t be anymore serious or threatening. And I take it very seriously and am committed to stay involved and resist, fight, or however we can define our opposition. That said, humor, snark, and laughter can keep us buoyant and refreshed. Andy Borowitz is one of the best.

Just yesterday three extremely wealthy brothers (last name Alexander) based in Florida were charged in sex trafficking schemes as part of their High End Real Estate deals in places like the Hamptons in New York, and luxury resorts in Mexico. They would bait young women with their promise of fun times in exclusive locations, drug them and sexually assault them—usually by multiple men. This had been going on since 2010. However, it has been noted that their behavior of assaulting women went back even further to their time in high school! In fact, one of them even bragged about it in his high school yearbook! I made a comment to Kathi (my wife) that went something like this: “How was it possible that when tRump was tapping the worst possible candidates to flesh out his sordid ensemble of unfit and unsavory weirdos to flesh out his cabinet posts that he missed these guys?” They’re Floridians fer godsakes! Practically neighbors! Move over Matt Gaetz. Step aside Pete Hegseth! This trio is the Real Deal!!! “SO UNFAIR!”
Yes, snark will make us feel better for a minute or two. But we are still left trying to figure out how to survive the coming slide into kleptocracy and chaos that surely will follow in very short order once these perverted MAGA-loons are running the country.
Those three “boys” were born in Israel but raised in the richest area of Florida. They are Jewish and a complete embarrASSment to Jews everywhere unless, they were taught to treat women like they did. For me, a Jewish woman, I cannot fathom what gene in their brain is missing! For that matter, Epstein and Weinstein also!
Guilfoyle deserves to be stomped on! The Greeks will not be thanking us after they see her--she is just plain awful. The whole lot of his picks for positions are awful. They are not good people, they are not experienced people, and we won't be able to trust them. I really dread to think of whether government is going to work on a day to day basis once these people are done with it. And that's not even talking about their policies--if you can call destroying our democracy, hurting people for revenge, and using their positions to enrich themselves with no care for the rest of us policies.
It really isn't funny at all. We are in mortal peril.
When I see it all in one place I realize this guy is so single-mindedly uneducable his plan is to do to the U.S. what he repeatedly did to his business ventures, amuse himself while he grinds it into the ground, expecting somebody else to clean up his mess.
And sadly it's always worked out for him before so no wonder.
With luck—or maybe intervention, say by those billionaires—we'll be saved this time and he'll be escorted out and told never to return.

I am referring to Tom Clements's comment "We have to resolve not to live in fear of the Orange Fuhrer …"

"Laugh, and it keeps them crying" -- old blues truism.
We need the Snark! Give us the Snark!
Now I have a P-Funk earworm going

The commentator who referred to her as "Gargoyle" was right on the money.
I remembered when she and Gavin married and then divorced. Those were during his days of heavy drinking which got him into trouble as mayor of San Francisco. He cleaned up his act and married Jennifer Seibel, and had kids. Kimberly went on a plastic surgery spree with her face and boobs. The woman is a self-made megaphone with big lips to boot!
I can't even look at her

I love that song--and just the mental image of her dancing to it is enough--con't make me watch the real thing, please!
What's coming in January is serious, dangerous and potentially deadly. I will need some humor therapy so please keep it coming.
And let us strive so that humanity does not perish from this earth.

As Vonnegut wrote, "I've become unstuck in time."
And as Heller wrote-
“I ALWAYS didn’t say you couldn’t punish me Sir!”
Lucian,
I agree with you, I have used snark as a means of trying to lessen the stress of the real damage and heartbreak he is going to cause. I have been telling people to take what he says he will do since he was running for his second term. Trump shows that a man can be a buffoon and absolutely malevolent at the same time. What is coming isn’t a joke. We will be fighting for the very soul of America as he and his company of billionaire thieves, and assorted criminals and thugs are planning to do to us and our country.

I have used snark to protect myself. It’s an acceptable weapon or shield.

He really is, along with Jeff Teidrich. Those two make life worth living.
Agree completely Marlene.
I second the endorsements of both. But also realize that THIS…the Truscott newsletter…can give us a reality check along with humor and pathos.
Gallows humor is a coping mechanism.
And a choice.
And…a GOOD choice.
