It’s Friday.
Shitshow’s public schedule for…
I can’t tell you whether the White House or RollCall.com fucked up his public schedule, but one of them absolutely stepped on their own dick this morning.
Sunday’s schedule claims he’ll be swearing in new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh. That’s not true. The swearing-in happens today.

I confirmed the schedule was fucked up via a CNBC clip:
I can’t with Asshat today…
Executive Time
Executive Time should really be called Tantrum Throwing Time, because all the Toddler does is watch cable news and rage-post dumbshit on ‘Lies’ Social like your drunk uncle discovering Facebook at 1 a.m.
Reminds us twice that he really hates freedom of speech when it applies to literally anybody but himself. Funny how that keeps happening.
Colbert’s last show aired on Thursday.
His last monolog:
They have a playlist with different segments from his last show.
In the olden days of America, the attitude was mostly: if you don’t like something, don’t watch it. The government generally stayed out of it unless somebody started clutching pearls and screaming ‘for the children.’ But a late-night host mocking politicians was understood to be part of the gig. Hell, Saturday Night Live practically built an institution out of making presidents look ridiculous every week.
Now every criticism is treated like a federal hate crime against a fragile billionaire’s feelings. Which is a pretty embarrassing evolution for the self-proclaimed ‘land of freedom.’
Other highlights from his feed…
WSJ (05/21/2026):
The Dow rose to its first record close in more than three months, pushed ahead by renewed hopes of peace progress in the Middle East.
The blue-chip index rose about 0.6%, following a lackluster morning in which Nvidia stock slipped despite stronger-than-expected results late Wednesday. The index closed the day at 50286, its first record since Feb. 10.
News reports about plans to resolve the nearly three-month old war between the U.S. and Iran helped provide a better tone after lunch. Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell 2.3% to $102.58 a barrel, after hitting $108 earlier in the day.

Bashes a retiring senator calling that senator “A QUITTER”.
A minute later…
Nothing says ‘please support my agenda’ quite like rage-posting insults about the very people whose votes you need. Master negotiator stuff.
Weighs-in on the slush fund to pay the people who attempted to coup.
This morning on the TikTok live I listen too, someone said this fund is like other funds started to settle lawsuits against the government. You’ll be shocked to know one such fund they are attempting to use to justify the slush fund for coup attempters was started under Obama.
Politifact says (05/18/2026): In a May 18 press release, the Justice Department cited a 2011 settlement for the case Keepseagle v. Vilsack as “legal precedent” for the new fund. That case involved lawsuits by Native American farmers who alleged discrimination in federal assistance by government agencies.
But sure, settling a class action lawsuit, with a fund that already existed for such things is the same exact thing as creating a whole new fund to pay coup attempters.
Warsh has been sworn-in. I’m truly sad that our next Fed Chair presser will probably look a lot like this presser from yesterday…
This is an Open Thread
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
