I really didn’t want to talk about politics today, but #NeverForget that the not-my-president is basically a D-list actor desperate for fame and adulation. Earlier, we talked about how the Oscar ratings were down, and I talked about the various reasons why I thought this year’s Oscars telecast was a total snooze. What I didn’t mention is that the Deplorables made it into a “thing” that this year’s Oscars were, like, “anti-Trump” and so they “boycotted” the show. Well, this is what The Curious Case of Donald Bigly tweeted this morning:
Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don’t have Stars anymore – except your President (just kidding, of course)!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 6, 2018
He really does think he’s a “star.” He thinks his presidency is a star turn. He’s so self-obsessed that he cannot even stand it when someone around him gets attention too.
Anyway, this was all part of a multi-hour tweetstorm by Bigly this morning. I don’t know how his itchy Twitter fingers managed to avoid live-tweeting the Oscars, so I guess he was holding everything in until all eyes could be on him again. Some sample tweets:
The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong! People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision. I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 6, 2018
Total inaction on DACA by Dems. Where are you? A deal can be made!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 6, 2018
Federal Judge in Maryland has just ruled that “President Trump has the right to end DACA.” President Obama had 8 years to fix this problem, and didn’t. I am waiting for the Dems, they are running for the hills!

Meanwhile, Sam Nunberg – who worked for the Trump campaign – spent all day on Monday going on and calling into cable news shows to talk about how Donald Trump was most likely conspiring with Russians throughout the campaign, and Trump had business deals with Russians and a lot more. Nunberg was frankly going berserk and many people now think he’s drinking again, and/or having some kind of manic episode.

Nunberg was a mess! He also backed down from his “screw that” defiance towards Mueller’s subpoena.
That’s a shame. I was kind of looking forward to Mueller arresting his weird ass.
I actually felt sorry for him. That stupid, stupid grandstanding, and nothing to back it up. He’s even more pitiful than the usual Trump rabble.
Let’s not cry for him, Argentina. He was kicked off the campaign for being too openly racist amongst a clan of rabid racists.
Man I wanted to see him get taken down by Mueller with fireworks
We’ve all been shaking our heads and laughing at Barnaby Joyce’s (our former Deputy Prime Minister) shenanigans. And you thought he faded away after Pistol-and-Boo-Gate. Politics, hey? As for Nunberg, this is the article I read this morning:
http://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/donald-trump-sam-nunberg-implicates-potus-in-russia-investigation/news-story/692d29b5f0ecd690da2759a7f103a9c6
What a twat.
Every time Dotard Trump opens his mouth, I feel my IQ slipping down by a point or two. I despise him, but Nunberg did say some interesting things, such as he thinks Trump might very well have done some bad stuff with Russia during the campaign.
And I don’t know why the Oscars ratings were down, but it had nothing to do with Trump.
I think Sam sobered up or ran out of coocoocachoo, if you get my drift. Love how he asked the CNN host if it was illegal to ignore a subpoena from the grand jury… and he’s a lawyer!!! Only the best according to BLOTUS. 😂
Where did he get his law degree? Trump U?
BLOTUS??? Now that’s a good one. Mind is I steal it? lol
I wonder if somebody threatened him or tried to bribe him. He didn’t act scared after his initial interview with Mueller but rather said a lot of nice things about it being done professionally and not a waste of time or taxpayer money etc. Then he goes nuts over a subpoena to testify to the grand jury and hand over emails involving people on a list. Why? I know he was drunk, but I imagine he went nuts before he started with the alcohol. Something happened between his calm appearance answering questions about Hicks’ resignation and that strange tour of the news shows.
…yuck
I wish I could take a running start and kick him in the throat. :-/
I just can’t with this man. I grew up in NY and knew he was a POS when I was TWELVE. I have to ignore most of what he says/does because it is infuriating and sickening to me that he is in Office. I have never said his name after the “President”, and I never will.
He certainly lives up to his nickname, Dolt 45.
I knew that this guy was garbage and a fraud back in the 90’s.
I was 12 in 1983. He started becoming famous in the early/mid 80’s. I still cannot fathom how he was elected to Office.
Psl, he was elected because he’s a conman a scam artist and a lier and some people are gullible. I know some of us on this site tried to educate the voters of what a scum bag #45 is and was going to be as President if elected. There is a old saying, “you can bring horse 🐎 to water but you can’t make them drink”. We told them he was bad news. As a New Yorker I have read of all the illegal things he has done for ages, but some pretend he would be a better President than Hillary. Some will never admit they made a mistake but wheather they admit it or not they know they were wrong deep down in their ❤️. The tax cut will be wiped out soon because inflation will take back the crumbs, Nancy said we will be getting. The tax cut was a benefit for the dotard and his rich friends not for the majority of the people.
Central park five did it for me. I’ve never liked him, even on apprentice.
I totally understand not wanting Hillary as President, but when our only other choice was THIS………..sigh………..
We were all given proof that he is a con man (Trump University), absolutely corrupt (casino business deals) and a thief (not paying contractors for work done).
Democrats and progressives just preferred to believe in conspiracy theories that HRC was corrupt (absolutely no evidence from even Republicans) and a murderer (again see Republican investigations with nothing) because she was too cerebral and not “warm” enough.
To this day, I’m still rolling my eyes at the Facebook videos my progressive friends would send me. Like smart people believing in non-sensical Russian brainwashing. They would get bad when I threw in facts into the discussion. So it’s not only Trump supporters who believed lies.
It was an understood thing he was a racist loon forever. Fellow NYCer. I tried to warn people too, but there was so much at play here that it ended up this way. The media played a big role and promoting him for ratings normalized his behavior.
He has always been outlandish and a liar and a shady character.
Everyone believed the Russian brainwashing, and it went far deeper than just progressives.
@psi I’m on board with you. I never read Art of the Deal or understand its appeal. I was turned off by most everything he did. I can understand larger than life personalities but he has ALWAY been ungracious. I hold no love for his first wife but Ivana turned around The Plaza Hotel. I think she has a knack for business. I still remember him saying he wasn’t paying her a salary just all the dresses she could buy. Admittedly not cheap but what a jerk!
I think should would have been a far superior FLOTUS. There would still be shenanigans but she would give as good as she got. Of course the orange terror can’t handle strong women.
Yup, I am in my mid-50s, and in NYC, we knew this man was a charlatan and a criminal and a mobster with bad guys for decades – since the 80s, at least. He sure fooled those good Christians in the red states, though!
There’s something very different about his skin and hair. He’s less orange but more pink now, like a pig, and his hair is turning very yellow. It also looks like he wears very light concealer under his eyes. Very very peculiar.
Maybe Hope was his makeup artist.
The Sam Nunberg thing was very troubling. He’s clearly very ill and appears to be terrified as well. The man is obviously in a manic state. I hope he gets help. I still cannot believe that this orange, illiterate buffoon is the President of the United States and that there are people who defend him.
He was obviously in a panic mode. Supposedly he’s a key link to the 2011(?) to mid-2015 era of considering a run.
I hope he cooperates, for his own good. Let Stone (to whom he seems incredibly loyal) fend for himself. It might also keep his legal bills capped, as that was one of the things he mentioned as a concern.
He was too manageable during his interviews to have been in a true manic state. He would stop to listen to questions then response. Sure the responses where lengthy but not too far from the usual Republican “filibuster the tv hosts”. In fact I would say he was more polite to the interviewers than the average Republican politician or hack.
In true mania you can not get the person to stop talking or change the topic. And they start saying super strange things that border on hallucination.
I think this guy on the other hand is straight up in fear of either going to jail or being shut out by corrupt Roger Stone. He was seeking help from both the TV hosts and the media-just in case his body ends up somewhere??? I frankly felt sorry for him.
He was clearly drunk. Erin Burnett called him out for smelling like alcohol. I can only assume that it will soon be Roger Stone’s time in the barrel and Nuberg is freaking out because he is the one with the evidence to put him there.
Interesting take, OTC. I was thinking he was in the early stages of a manic break. I agree he wasn’t completely detached or totally delusional but it seemed like he could be headed that way shortly. It was very uncomfortable to watch.
Since AML is at the root of this case, and the Berezovsky crew in the UK all ‘committed suicide’ by jumping off roofs or in front of trains, it sounds to me like these guys are really afraid of getting whacked by the Russian mob. They’re not wrong. If I were Stone or Nunberg I’d be cutting a deal for the Winess Protection program right now.
@Esmom:
Great point!
He could be in the early stages of mania. Whatever mental health medication he is on, I hope his family convinces him to take it.
Ari from MSNBC seemed to be the only media person who wasn’t trying to exploit him. He spent the interview trying to talk sense into him. And Ari called his home last night and spoke with his father.
@ELX I think Putin loves the three-ring circus that is the Trump administration, the Mueller investigation, and the parade of crooks in Trump’s orbit. He isn’t going to whack anyone because that would end all of his fun. Someone I work with speculated he is freaking out because the emails Mueller asked for are full of vile racism, misogyny, and who knows what else. Trump fired Nunberg for racist tweets, imagine what he says in private. If those emails get out, Nunberg is finished professionally. Although yesterday’s antics may have done that anyway.
Nunberg might also be distracting us from the Steele dossier, which showed that the Kremlin pushed back on Mitt Romney as Secty of State and approved of their pal Tillerson. Think on that – Putin picked the Secretary of State of the United States of America.
Breathtaking.
Yup read that. I also think Nunberg may be acting. Seriously if he looks unstable, could Mueller use him as a material witness?
Something smells bad here like it always does.
Trixie is the winner today!
Distract/deflect
But
Mueller is coming!
My father thinks it was also to stop the talk about gun control.
Isn’t it wonderful how our president shows support for US industries and the First Amendment by attacking them on Twitter?
I do hope Nunberg has people close to him who are watching him closely so that he doesn’t self-harm physically. Something tells me he might be a useful witness if he doesn’t kill himself.
Let’s be honest – the real reason he’s going after the Oscars is that it just KILLS him that, even as P(OS)OTUS, he will never be accepted by true Hollywood royalty, any more than he was by New York high society, or the music industry, or famous athletes, or a larger inauguration crowd than Obama….
He really is a sad, sad little man…
Exactly. Stars lined up to meet Obama and that crushes Donnie’s little non-existant soul.
Yes, his insecurity is so transparent. He’s pathetic.
Who actually IS his haircut/stylist?
Rumor is he does it himself
That explains everything.
Then he needs to kill and skin another weasel. That thatch on the top of his head is wearing out.
I hear the White House has become a weasel’s natural habitat, so it shouldn’t be hard to come by one.
This thread is comedy gold, thank you all. A++
I’ve always wondered who’s in charge of his grooming/styling. He just slaps it all on though, doesn’t he? I’d like to know where he buys his suits though. They are so ill-fitting, how does that happen to people with money???
He buys them big because he thinks it “hides” his girth. Not sure why this man, who is supposedly rich, doesn’t have his suits custom made. they’d look so much better if they were tailored.
I heard an eye witness account from Robert Costa of the Post about how he styles his hair. Apparently it is shoulder length and he uses a comb and several massive cans of hair spray to sculpt it into that bizarre comb over.
Could you imagine the sight of him fresh out of the shower. Melania has a strong stomach.
@gatorbait
He probably looks like an insane cult leader in a bathrobe and stringy long wet hair.
Bibi Netanyau looks like he knows drump is a complete idiot and is enjoying the realization that he can easily manipulate drump and Jared.
Bibi needs to worry about himself. He’s under investigation back home. I do hope Jared & Princess Nagini get ensnared in whatever corruption charges get brought against Netanyahu. The reaction to the extradition request will be priceless. Also hoping Panama comes for Nagini too.
I don’t think they will; i don’t think there’s enough evidence. But netanyahu should worry.
Yes, Bibi certainly has his own corruption issues. But he appears to believe he is in a better place than drump, who will support him no matter what because he and Jared have no understanding of the history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Bibi is another crook no wonder they bond.
Netanyahu knows that he can easily outmaneuver Trump and Kushner.
My thought has always been the Kushner & Ivanka will flee to Israel if Mueller tries to bring charges against them. Israel will never extradite them to face justice and Jared & Ivanka can provide them with all sorts of top secret intelligence in exchange for protection.
I don’t think I’ve gone one day without seeing this f*ckers face somewhere either on my pc or tv since he ran for president. I can’t escape him…and I’m Canadian !
Once again, Canada: we apologize.
Thing with stars is that they end up exploding and becoming a black hole. I think he has himself confused.
Let’s see, a star. Big, orange, burning ball of gas with no brain… No, that makes sense.
Love it!
When he’s running that mouth and those butthole lips pucker, he destroys everything 😂
That is not what presidents are supposed to do.
Can i post an image?
IMG_6011.PNG
Fudge. It says, politicians and diapers need changing for the same reason.
I honestly felt bad for Sam yesterday. He was definitely was high or drunk, incredibly nervous, and still hurt and pissed about the way Trump had treated him
please DO NOT feel bad for any of these players. they got in when they thought they’d get away with all of the crimes and unethical behavior. now the chickens have come home to roost and they have to deal with the consequences of their previous behavior.
EVERY bit of bad coming their way is mightily deserved.
ITA. Don’t feel bad for any of these clowns.
I don’t feel bad for any of these scumbags. I’m enjoying the Schadenfreude.
Sam says he’s on anxiety medication. Possibly he skipped a dose yesterday when he realized he has lots of memos from his buddy Roger Stone with incriminating information in them. I remember Roger predicting that Pedesta email will soon be coming out and, bingo, it was out in about two weeks. Btw, anyone heard that The Russians stopped the dotard from appointing Mitt to Secretary of State. Tillerson was Puton buddy, got some big award in Russia and now he’s SoS. They are all compromised IMO.
As my bestie commented yesterday while watching Nunbergs interviews ” Could this s]^t get any weirder?” And the universe answered ” Hold my beer!”
Just the headline alone made vomit rise in my throat. How did our country become this stupid? So many were swayed by one who is is less slick than a carnival huckster. It’s mind boggling. I need sedation.
You said a mouthful! +++++++1
I just watched the episode about him on Netflix’s Dirty Money – was very interesting everyone should watch it. He was always obsessed with HW and I think he wanted to go there and be Harvey Weinstein but Daddy made him work in the family business. Trump was never successful at anything, Daddy was the business brains who bailed out Donnie Two Scoops on several occasions.
He structured his company in a way that he can deny knowledge of wrongdoing, seems he’s structured the White House that way too. He’s never ever been held accountable for his actions, the shock might kill him.
I also hadn’t realised he tried to run for President before and had talked about running since he was a young man – he’s someone who is obsessed with fame and all the attention that comes with it.
I recently watched that episode of Dirty Money as well. I found it very informative and was wondering why it hasn’t gotten more mention. I also just read that Flynn had to put his house up for sale to pay his legal bills and that his family created a defense fund for him. I guess I’m a terrible person for doing a happy dance after reading that tidbit. Someone should start a fund to have a group of people chant “LOCK HIM UP!” in front of wherever he’s living now.
Actually, I think people were actually chanting “Lock him up!” as he walked into court when the first indictments came out…
Yeah, I watched that! It was very illuminating. It amazes me how this man got elected after all that, but I guess ‘Economic Anxiety’ is one hell of a drug, eh?
I sincerely hope that you can solve this before any more damage is done because reading that he would love to get rid of term limits was terrifying. There is a possibility that you might never be rid of the bastard!
Perhaps there was purpose behind the “meltdown” — a distraction from the other Steele memo revealed yesterday in which Steele noted that his inside Russian source stated that it was the Kremlin that vetoed Mitt Romney as SOS. Enter Rexxon, who has gutted the State Department and has yet to help implement the Russian sanctions. Vodka anyone?
Oh, Little Orange Man, don’t forget the photos of your low-attended
inauguration. Just sayin’.
So much for your star power. (Not kidding, of course.)
You mean the largest attended inaugural PERIOD! Lol
Trump should of won an Oscar in 2016 or 2017. He gave a brilliant performance during the election acting like he really cared about Americans. I think he is still mad at Hollywood that he was passed over for an Emmy for ‘The Apprentice’?
LOL! Love it!!!!
I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than Putin, Trump or Assad but look what Canada’s got. Mr. Dressup. At the very least Trump has the US economy fired up for the time being.
“Fired up”?
By giving billionaires a huge tax cut while everyone else (by Ryan’s admission) gets an extra $1.50 a month? By flaming our allies and China with threats of a trade war? By appealing to his tiny steel and coal making base just before an election?
drump has done nothing but sow uncertainty and resentment among US workers.
I’ll take Trudeau and his costume changes in India –as well as his humanity–any day over our hideous excuse for a leader.
@Joannie, Seriously? You are comparing our PM Justin Trudeau to Trump and you think Trump is far better? OMG, I just SMH!! Like, really? I did not even vote JT but I would choose Trudeau x10,000,000 before I picked Trumpoline once!!
One just has a nicer delivery. They’re cut from the same cloth. Pay attention!!! He’s a pompous entitled shallow idiot. At least Trump admits he’s slime. Trudeau thinks he’s the next coming.He’s putting our country into a very precarious position. You don’t think Trudeau panders to his buddies? Look at his finance minister. You don’t think Trudeau is dividing our country. Educate yourself. He’s the worst PM in history.
@Masamf: I feel like she has used the same argument against Trudeau in other posts. That or I have seen another person post similar comments to rile up most of us.
Honestly I shrug. Even if Trudeau is a pompous a$$ and a terrible PM at least he is not on Twitter trying to start nuclear war. At least he isn’t a traitor. At least he hasn’t hired his entire grifter family to rape the country. At least he isn’t sexist and racist or in the pocket of the NRA. He supports gay rights, legalizing marijuana and as ridiculous as some of his statements may be is into women’s rights. That’s enough for me in 2018.
@Joannie, Trump never admits he’s slime. He’s delusional. He thinks he’s the most brilliant president the U.S. has ever had. He believes every word that comes out of his mouth. He’s a vindictive, thin-skinned bully, who adheres to no true ideals. He idolizes dictators and wants to be one. He is obsessed with having a military parade because in his feeble mind he believes it shows strength and power in relation to himself.
He’s an idiot. Trudeau is not an idiot
@Joannie, kindly don’t be condescending, it’s absolutely not necessary. IMVHO, as bad as some make Trudeau out to be, as much as an azz he can act sometimes, Trudeau is way far better than Trump. As an immigrant from Africa, all I have to say to you is that, when Trudeau starts promoting white supremacy in this country, when Trudeau bans gay people from serving in the Canadian Armes forces, when Trudeau pretty much states that as a woman I’m not as equal as any other man is, when Trudeau hands over Canada to the Kremlin to rule over, when Trudeau chooses the gun manufacturers over my right to live in this country without fear, when Trudeau starts raping women and brags about it because he can’t be touched, when Trudeau intentionally continues to goad NK into starting a nuclear war with Canada putting lives of millions of people at risk, then please come talk to me. But until that time, kindly refrain from telling me to educate myself as if I’m some illeterate/idiotic person that needs assistance to go to the washroom.
Who do you think Trudeaus giving tax cuts to? The middle class? No his trust fund friends. Is he helping the veterans. seniors, single mothers? Tell me, what has he done that he said he was going to do?
Masamf, I see you’ve bought into his BS. You are exactly who he is pandering to for votes. Thats it….votes. He doesn’t care about you. As someone who works and understands finance he has put Canada into a very fragile position. We have a fentanyl crisis and kids are dying by the hundreds. And what exactly do you think he’s selling to the Middle East and the Philippines? And by the way he is dividing this country like Ive never seen before. Yes you need to educate yourself.
Don’t credit him. The economy is based on residual plans made under the Obama admin. Just like we were in a slump for years after Obama first took over. Because it was the residual effects from decisions made under Bush. So nope he does not get credit for that.
The tariff stunt will tank the economy faster than anything and we can thank him for that.
Exactly, Holly. drump is embellishing Obama’s years of hard work to restore the economy with his bragging about achievements that only positively affect his steel stock dumping friend and other billionaires.
The current bump up is leftovers from the gains during the Obama years. We might see some mild business boom with lowered taxes, but it will absolutely be followed by a bust given that they’re rolling back some of the Dodd-Frank restrictions that were put into place after the 2000s recession. The current tax plan is going to gut the United States fiscal reserves in the long run. It does not bode well for Millenials and their youngers.
@Joannie, I think it’s you that needs to pay attention. Canada, being next door to a leader as impetuous and uninformed as Trump would have their hands full at the best of times. You may not like Mr. Trudeau, but he and his cabinet (and I daresay those of the opposition) will do what needs to be done to make sure what’s being done is what’s best for Canadians. The civil servants who really run things behind the scenes are no stranger to the strong arm tactics of the US. And let’s be real, with Muller & the 2018 elections swirling, who knows how things will change in the next few months. Relax Joannie-they got this.
I agree with Joannie. I can’t even look at Trudeau anymore. He’s an embarrassment. Don’t like his wife either. We all know who wears the pants and it’s not him.
Seems to me the internet trolls who inhabit the CBC website, spouting non-stop hate towards Trudeau on every story open for comment, regardless of subject matter, may be discovering gossip sites.
HK9
Your comment is actually laughable.
Who gives a rat’s bottom about the Roger Stone-directed Sam Nunberg non-drama from yesterday? The New Yorker article, while tediously long, is where the fire is at. The Kremlin torpedoed Romney as SoS? Holy crap. I have exactly zero love for Romney, but if the Kremlin is calling the shots for everything….
That article was fantastic.
OMG
Just finished reading Mayer’s New Yorker article. It’s absolutely surreal.
She connects the dots to drump’s presidential campaign and Putin’s interference by going over information in the Steele dossier. And it’s truly horrifying.
And excuse my naivete, but all this time drump has been crying that Russia didn’t get him elected, he knows that Putin worked very hard to do just that. And most possibly did get him elected.
Go, Mueller.
We have stars. What we don’t have is a competent, sane, intelligent president. Instead we have Trump the corrupt and incompetent moron.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top economic advisor Gary Cohn quits. Just another day at the White House.
OMG. When will this nightmare end?
I hate Trump, but he told no lies about the stars in HW. I kinda fault the media, big agencies and the Academy for this. They are too busy selling their clients brands and leaking stuff to the tabloids and trying to discredit people they don’t like that nothing is secret or sacred anymore. The two biggest stars they have are slammed by but hating blogs so deal wit it. And if you are banking on JLaw being the Face of HW they are doomed.
Please make this baby Huey STFU already!!!
Hello Kodakay,
I actually swiped the term BLOTUS- big liar of the United States , from a CB commentator. I thought it was brilliant too. Steal away my friend.
