Bobservations

The other night as we watched the news there were reports that The Felon wants these large retailers to “eat the tariffs,” meaning earn less in profits because that’s good business. I ranted; I raged; and then I did a glorious spit-take when Carlos said:

“Eat the carrots? What does that even mean?”

Goddess, that man slays.

Sidenote: this is what will happen, a retailer imports, say, a doll. The doll costs them $5 but they mark it up to $10 for a nice profit; tariffs enter the picture and now the doll will cost the retailer $20 or more, so they mark it up to $30 to make their profit.

Then, when tariffs end and the doll goes back to costing $5 the retailer will lower the price of the doll to $20 and tell us how they are saving us money while making a larger profit.

Eat the rich.

This Tuxedo Says is from October 22, 2020, and is as relevant today as it was then … so cast a  goddamned vote … don’t piss off The Great Tuxedo.

I never go to Homo Depot anymore because of their anti-DEI stance; they aren’t loud about it, but they … shhhhhhhh … quietly erased DEI from their website.

But for this orange I may have to make an exception.

Adriana Smith is a pregnant Georgia woman who was declared brain dead in February but is being kept alive because of that state’s law banning abortion and the woman’s family has zero say in the matter.

This isn’t life, this is state-sanctioned torture.

Police in Slovenia are investigating the disappearance of a bronze statue of First Lady, and nude model, Melanie after the statue was sawed off at the feet and carted away.

The original statue was carved from the trunk of a linden tree but was mysteriously torched and replaced by a replica bronze statue that is now nothing more than shoes and ankles.

Sorry, not sorry.


Consuelo has always been the quiet, shy cat. When she first came to Casa Bob y Carlos over 14 years ago, she was the sweetie and while Tuxedo ran the house with MaxGoldberg as his Lieutenant Consuelo did as she was told.

But now that Max and Tuxedo have ‘left the building,’ Consuelo had decided that maybe she should be running things and so every morning she claws her way up the side of the bed to sit between her two sleeping Daddies and if one of us makes a sound …

Meow … Meow … Meow … Meow … which loosely translates as ‘Get up bitches and feed me.’

Don’t let the sweet face fool you, she’s a terrorist!

Now, the mainstream media, and I’m looking at you Jake Tapper and your new ‘book.’ We all know that Joe Biden is very ill while still active and jovial, but can you just shut the f**k up about his momentary lapses is speech that he made last year or the years before that and focus on that narcissistic gelatinous blob of orange flesh who thinks that … and these are all true … Mattel is a country … thinks he invented the word ‘equalizing’ … wants to annex Canada and Greenland … doesn’t know what he’s signing or what’s going on, … doesn’t care about disaster victims … and has no respect for the rule of law.

Could you do that? Could you please find your balls and your spines and do some legitimate reporting on facts??

After The Felon defunded PBS and basically canceled Sesame Street, Netflix announced it would be airing new episodes of the beloved show.

Perhaps when The Felon is finished with his McD’s Kid’s meal, and before he is put down for his nap, he might watch the show and learn something. Or is that asking for too much?

Ponder this ... in America in 2025, if you are caught protesting for Palestine, the government will say you are supporting Hamas but if you are the so-called president you can be gifted a $400,000,000 jet from a country that actually does financially support Hamas the GOP won’t say a word.

Chand Smith is a thirty-five-year-old model and actor from Stockholm, Sweden so the obvious question is … Would You Hit It?

  1. I imagine there are days when she wishes she could disappear as fully as the statue, hopefully gone to the smelter.

    1. I don't think she wishes she could disappear as I wish she would disappear.

  2. If my blood pressure wasn't already up enough this morning. Yes your right, prices will never come back down again. Even if the tariffs do go away...we are talking about greedy corp chains, because it's America.

    The Adriana Smith story is awful. These people are wing nuts. The baby will be mostly compromised anway. And what the point of getting a living will and have family present, if their will is not met?

    And Jake Trapper has really changed, and not for the better... gave up on CNN some time ago. The dump learn from Sesame Street? That would be to highbrow learning for him. A shame this has happened. How many kids won't see this show now because some parents won't be able to afford a streaming platform to let their kids see it. By time he's done PBS will be gone altogether, I'm sure.

    Why don't I see that at my hardware store when I go in??? Maybe I can reenact this for my next Hump Day portrait?

    1. Corporate greed needs to be the takedown; the boycott of Target hit them in the wallet and we should keep it up.
      It's disgusting to keep a dead woman alive because you think the baby will suffer no consequences.
      Jake Tapper is a pandering f**k.
      I do like a good HARDware store.

  3. The Qatar plane gift contradiction is extraordinary. Qatar is a crap and corrupt country with a murdering leader.

    I want to marry Chand, well for a short time.

  4. That orange! Oh my.

    Over on Allison's blog she mentioned that there's some history between Tapper and the Bidens that may explain why he would have a vendetta against them. I hadn't heard about that but it casts an interesting light on Tapper's book. (Which I have no interest in reading.)

    1. Oh, and re. the Melania statue, I suspect she had it stolen herself. It was hideous! (Apparently this is a real Internet conspiracy theory.)

    2. I'll pass on Jake's book too.
      I heard the statue called a Smurf statue and so I could also picture Melanie having it dragged away!

  5. I just wonder how the fellow in the orange underpants manages to walk with his trousers round his thighs.

  6. I had to snigger at the "sad" news from Slovenia about a fake First Lady" (that's no lady, that's a gold digger).

  7. I don't know about the Home Depot website, but I can tell you we have a very large board bragging about our DEI that is labeled DEI. If you want, I can post a picture.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. per Google: Home Depot has quietly removed its DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) page from its website. The page, which previously highlighted the company's commitment to DEI, has been replaced with a page titled "WeAreTHD" that focuses on employee benefits and wages. This change comes after a period of pressure from conservative groups and following President Trump's calls for dismantling DEI programs in public agencies and private businesses.

  8. The prices will NEVER come back. Ever.
    And they cut that mail order bride's statue down? Not a day sooner.
    Fuck Jack Tapper. I read Jimmy Kimmel CANCELED his program to not give him a platform for his shitty book. Good. Tapper immediately ran to that blonde bimbo's (they are all the same) podcast to whine. Hope the sales are horrible and his 'book' ends up in the clearance section of the Dollar General.
    And I'd trail that man through the Homo Depot for AISLES AND AISLES. I may have done that for some hot trade in gray sweatpants before...

    XOXO

    1. That's the point of tariffs, more money for corporations.
      That Kimmel story is true and bravo to Jimmy!! Jake Tapper can FOAD.
      I would follow him all through the store and all the way home and into his house and ... possibly then get arrested for stalking!

  9. Forced incubator...I think I've seen old horror films about shit like that.
    The folks in Slovenia must be so proud of Melanie - I mean she went from prostitute to mail-order bride to Fake First Lady of the now-extinct U.S.

    🧐 Bob, how could you? Usually an advocate for keeping shopping aisles moving swiftly and free of obstacles now supporting narcissists and photographers creating traffic jams...for what?! Cakes with orange icing?! 🍊 🍰 Tsk!! 😘
    🥕🥕 Eat the carrots! 🤣 Best take yet on Carrot Face's admission that tariffs are NOT paid for by China and will NOT pay for child care and eliminate income tax and make us all rich!! 🤬💩🤡
    😹 Hooray Consuelo!! Somebody has to keep the Casa under control! You Rock and so do Tuxedo and Lt. Max!! 😻🤘

  12. Duncan Jones really nailed it with his post. A lot of folks seem to develop a conscience when they get a big check from a publisher. We are a terrible lot most days. You and Carlos take care and I hope Consuelo lets you enjoy the long weekend.

    1. Melanie probably put the statue in the bed at Mar-illegal and The Felon thinks it's her.

  15. My understanding is that Adriana Smith was only 9 weeks pregnant when she ended up on life support. I've read that as the tissues break down in her body, creating fluid to leak, and the likelihood of the survival of the fetus is slim to none. In the meantime her poor family will be stuck with a huge medical bill. It's beyond belief!

    On the other hand, it is interesting to see a change in dynamics when an in-charge cat passes away. Consuela makes a wonderful alarm clock... :)

    1. That woman's story is just disgusting; what they are doing to her and her family and her dignity just to prove their love to that imaginary sky man is vile.
      We had a cat named Scruffy in Miami and when Tuxedo joined us, he trailed Scruffy everywhere, learning the ropes. When Scruffy passed Tuxedo took the lead ... and now Consuelo is feeling herself!

  19. Thank you for pointing out the irony of the felon getting a plane from a country that supports Hamas while people are getting in trouble for supporting Palestinian rights. I hadn’t thought of that.
