me to Ms Spouse: it doesn't even matter what I wrote today, all anyone's going to want to talk about is the Appeals Court

Susan Keefer's avatar

There is a huge chance that the Supreme Court won’t even consider this appeal now.

Neal Katyal on Trump immunity ruling: "I don’t think the U.S. Supreme Court is going to take this."

Carrie Duncan's avatar

Harry Litman: "The DC circuit was careful to anchor its ruling not just in separation of powers and ability of judiciary and legislative to check the executive, but also in the right of the people to vote, which the insurrection abridged."

I'm feeling a little less anxious re: SCOTUS.

Richard Von Busack's avatar

If I was that gang, I wouldn’t touch this with a ten foot pole. They’re standing on their chairs going “eek!” like a mouse is loose

SPW's avatar

Let us hope so. Then just maybe Judge Chutkan can reschedule BOFF’s trial date sooner rather than later. It’s obvious Cannon isn’t going to move on anything so there’s no reason for any further delays for the cases that are still alive. I, like many, am so ready for some big boot to kick BOFF’s ass so far back into a max security cell that he’ll never be heard from again then let the maga nuts go crazy. Maybe they’ll take each other out like they’ve done at their blown out border caravan. Damn fools!

ANTIFA Libbey Dem's avatar

🤞🏼😬🤞🏼 I am not holding my breath or putting up the farm on that. More will be revealed as a friend of mine always says and also has the name Jeff.

Hope for the best, but expect the worst. Like hoping Czar Cheetos has a stroke but, having to wait another day. 😩

Karla's avatar

I love hearing from him and all of the MSNBC legal experts. I just hope he took these particular justices into consideration when he made that assessment and didn’t just consider what normal,

honest justices would do.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Nah, bro. It’s headed to the Supremes and that is what has us all shaking.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I think the Supremes will reject immunity

un poco loco's avatar

yeah... can't imagine why, but some of them appear to be a little nervous about looking too much like fake justices... (and no, not including Thomas and Alito in that group lol -- Thomas doesn't give a shit as long as the RVs and free private plane rides keep rolling in.)

Name: lenora good, Guest's avatar

and that walmart will let him park in their parking lot to enjoy a down home vacation! /snark/

meryl selig's avatar

No sex for Clarence if he doesn’t defend his wife’s real love

Bonnie Boyce's avatar

Agreed. Even a partisan hack like Thomas can see the outrage and danger of giving a President unfettered power to act with impunity

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

Thomas and Gorsuch are unredeemable and Alito will vote whichever way he's paid to, but the other six should come down on the side of sanity

Dave Johnson's avatar

I don't think SCOTUS will take the case

Susan Keefer's avatar

Neal Katyal on Trump immunity ruling: "I don’t think the U.S. Supreme Court is going to take this."

RV maxima's avatar

Hope so, hehas the SC experience-fingers crossed.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Gorsuch is still upset that his mother got slammed from her corruption.

RV maxima's avatar

Oh, he is such a Momma'boy. Sounds better in Italian.

Jan39's avatar

I have heard and read in several places today that the "Supreme" Court will indeed reject immunity. So I'm allowing myself to feel hopeful.

Megan Ross's avatar

SHOULD and probably will.👍

Lorraine Parish's avatar

do judges HAVE to vote? can they abstain?

Bob Bowden's avatar

They can choose to not take this stupid case. That’s the very best form of abstention!

Bob Bowden's avatar

They don’t have to take this ridiculous case. That’s the best form of abstention!

KL Pierce's avatar

Hope you’re right. I have serious doubts.

meryl selig's avatar

Not sure I agree with you. No recusal on the insurrection stuff…. Thomas is capable of anything

Gayna's avatar

And people talk about corruption in these “other” countries. Those scotus judges are so vile and corrupt and they don’t give two shots who knows it because what are we the people gonna do about it?! Nothing! I knew Thomas was gigantic piece of shit at the Anita Hill hearing with his arrogance and faux outrage. I’m talking to you too Brett Kavanaugh, you frat boy wannabe rapist. And that judge in Florida must be raking in millions for all the delays she has given that evil man. And don’t get me started on the lackeys he has in congress sucking on anything he orders them to. I often wonder around just exactly what sick things that sick fuck has made them all do to prove their loyalty to him. I’ve never seen so many corrupt and disgusting, low class trash in the US government in my entire lifetime. It is sickening.

Morgan's avatar

Preach It🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Charlotte Thompson's avatar

You certainly have nailed it Gayna.

meryl selig's avatar

Wish I had written this, Gayna!! Channeling you now

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Yeah, except for Thomas -- who won't recuse because assholery is his brand -- and Alito, I think the others will reject immunity. History books and all that. If Robert's knows anything, he will try hard to make it unanimous. After Dobbs, you know he needs this.

un poco loco's avatar

Yeah... the way it's going, this court makes the Taney court look like a shining city upon a hill.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Nope. Taney still worse.

Geoff Anderson's avatar

Yeah, but when? In April, in June, or next term. The fuckery of the Thomas wing of the SCOTUS knows no bounds

Morgan's avatar

We can only hope the SC of paid off Justices will realize they are under a microscope and actually SlamDunk that POSOrangeDoucheFuckForBrainsTroglodyte.

Lorraine Parish's avatar

me too absolutely. it's stupid claim and not worth 5 minutes of their time

Megan Ross's avatar

I concur. The SCOTUS already has a spotlight on them for all the rampant corruption of several of their justices, so I don't think they're going to rule in TRump's favor. They may not even take the case and leave it to the lower courts.

Abigail Norling's avatar

Jeff I sure hope you are right! What makes you think so?

Edythe Kirk's avatar

Agreed, but .... I don't think they will accept either Colorado or Maine's attempts to keep him off the ballot.

Sheila D's avatar

I think SCOTUS will deny Cert--letting the DC Applellate Court decision stand!

Lorraine Parish's avatar

sorry but you're right! i read your newsletter anyway of course because it usually makes my day!

Openly Fae's avatar

Honestly all I have to add is it's just another one of Donald's kid glove treatments that anyone takes him seriously despite every post being all caps now.

If Biden made an all caps post on Shitter, we'd be hearing about it on Newsmax for a month solid.

KL Pierce's avatar

Thank you for reminding everyone just how horrible the pandemic was for so many of us under tRump is so important.

Those of us keeping an eye on things have been blasted for nearly a decade with a fire hose of subversion, deflection, and misinformation.

meryl selig's avatar

Not true!! What you write always matters. Btw: can he appeal to the SC??

I concur, but I still love reading the articles and comments from people that get excited whenever some new revelation or legal decision comes down. It's heartening to know good people are so passionate about fairness and justice, no matter how unlikely I personally think those outcomes will actually occur.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

it's been an hour since the decision and Trump hasn't said a word about it. maybe they hid his phone

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump

Lisa59's avatar

Unfortunately, I have too much life experience with malignant narcissistic/psychopaths. When anyone calls them out, they go fucking insane. They obsess about revenge. Their biggest fear is we are going to find out who they really are. They are experts in love bombing and gaslighting. They never feel remorse. Ever. They are the worst abusers on the planet. There is no cure, except irrelevance. How do you have a relationship with someone like him, you don't. They kill souls. They only get worse. Until they finally die. And leave a fucking mess behind for the rest of us to clean up. Motherfuckers!

counterlife's avatar

Survivor of a narcissist here as well. You are absolutely correct, telling them you see the fraud, the lies, the emptiness, the fear, the cruelty, is the worst thing possible. It's called "narcissistic injury", and Trump is suffering the worst case he has ever had in his dreadful and miserable life. He will thrash and fight and maybe even collapse from it but he hopes to take a lot of folks with him. Narcissists must attack those who see who they are, this is an existential battle for Trump. We must make him irrelevant because there is no changing him. Put him in prison and run away, America. Run away.

Lisa59's avatar

I feel your pain. I'm actually holding a mirror up to one of my many family members with NPD as we speak. It's not going well. If this person could set me on fire, they would. I spend a shit ton on therapy.

Koko in AZ's avatar

100% a fact, having been married, and worse, through a divorce with one.

meryl selig's avatar

Lisa59: truth. You covered it all. There are People of the Lie, and that’s who they are. Not redeemable. They will take down or devour anyone who tries to stop them. And yes, puncturing him nonstop into irrelevancy is the only way to shrink these people down to size. Cut off their air time. They choke and suffocate. Don’t pretend they make sense or have any redeeming qualities; they do not. They are born without certain “genes” for functioning within social norms.

Lisa59's avatar

There hair trigger rage keeps everybody on their toes. It's constant chaos. Then you add their grifting tendencies. Never hug a narcissist. They will pick your pockets. You're right on target. Thanks for saying that.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

Word out there is he is one of the people who expects he will be convicted. He blew is own master grift. He became president. He could have gotten away with this level of grift forever otherwise. Teehee

Ellis Weiner's avatar

Exactly. Becoming President was the worst thing that's ever happened to him. His wife hates him. His kids are (mostly) pariahs. He's reviled literally all over the world. And for what? Money? So he can eat hamburger, do drugs, bang prostitutes, and play golf? He could have done those for the rest of his life.. And fawn over father figures who are despised by decent people?

Then again, sick is sick. He couldn't have done otherwise. It's enough to make a fella believe in fate.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

Well, I remember his face and reaction at the press dinner when Obama mercilessly roasted him and hit every weakness he has and I figured then he would actually run. He was also surprised when he won and it's just too bad he did. He's one major sick puppy. No, I don't want to compare him to a puppy, and not even the most vicious animal. He is a thing unto himself. Barely human, only because he walks on two legs.

Lisa59's avatar

Agent Orange and his wife are a couple of bookends. She doesn't give a fuck about anybody. Don Jr. is crying in his coke, "daddy doesn't love me", Eric would hide if he could because he's terrified of his father. Ivanka follows in her father's footsteps. And the youngest is upset because daddy doesn't want to have sex with her. Just her sister. They are a hot mess.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

I can't watch Jr. when he talks. His mouth overworks and I suspect it's a combination of coke and Ecstacy which makes you do weird things with your mouth I'm told. And I've actually seen people in the throes of those drugs where they've overdone it.

Lisa59's avatar

That's him. Cotton mouth is his enemy.

D Kitterman's avatar

Did you forget about Barron?

Lisa59's avatar

No. There is usually a truth teller in the family. I don't know if that's him. Or if he's been conditioned to rescue his mother, or he's just another gene carrier of narcissism.

D Kitterman's avatar

Oh, I'd say there is certainly some genetic issues going on there.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

Does anybody else find him strange but me? And I say that with great pity that he was born in a cesspool.

Charlotte Thompson's avatar

I have the feeling that Barron is smart enough to understand that he is part of an f'ed up family. Maybe when he is old enough, he will escape.

Charlotte Thompson's avatar

That whole family is dysfunctional with a capital D. Each one only cares about themselves.

Scott Bernstein's avatar

Agree with you, but we've seen he's incapable of showing control the way a normal human being does, even if the end result is shooting himself in the face. For a sociopath piece of shit like him, the juice that comes with being the "most powerful man in the world" is a drug he has to chase. Rational human beings know he's not qualified or smart enough to clean shit out of a litter box.........

Sheila D's avatar

His desire to one up President Obama blew up in Little Donnie The Walrus's face! Well, that, and the Putin Playbook!

Kay-El's avatar

His stable genius is trying to come up with the best words.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

I still say no matter the times he can perk himself up, he is looking very strained and very frayed. Everything in his world depends on getting the presidency and killing all these trials and charges.

Susan Niemann's avatar

I thought the same thing. No amount of bronzer can hide the fact he looks horrible.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

Most of the time he looks like road kill.

Susan Niemann's avatar

HA! True that! Delusional old coot.

Morgan OCailleigh's avatar

He looks terrible. 🥴 Not that he was ever even remotely appealing before but now? Yuck.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

You know I'm just waiting for the day when he pulls that nasty comment "you're not my type" and someone has the presence of mind to say, "Oh, thank God. I was terrified you were going to rape me thinking I found you attractive on any level."

Susan Niemann's avatar

Death on a stick! An old saying from my mom. ☠️😂

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

Hilarious. I love your mom. hahahahaha

Abigail Norling's avatar

Ha! Duct taped his orange yap?

Stephanie Sipe's avatar

Or, the person responsible for his texts - Trump sure as tomorrow is Wednesday - knows better or is waiting to hear from the attorneys. 😁

Kaye Stone's avatar

And the orange shitgibbon has just posted.... same old shit he's been saying.

Openly Fae's avatar

I saw his hats are 70% off now on that link. But he's sure he's got this election in the bag if it weren't for ol' crooked Brandon's election interference.

Openly Fae's avatar

I see 2024 Trump hats are 70% off over there awful waffle rofl.

Charlotte Thompson's avatar

Finally, something to shut his pie hole for a while anyway.

Cassandra Here's avatar

Let him inject bleach for immunity from his crimes.

Kathleen Weber's avatar

Hey! I hear bleach can clean up anything!

Rick Calegari's avatar

Won't clean up the colostomy bag that sprung a leak in his head. Another funny as hell moment Jeff. The court has ruled so the catsup, used diapers and whatever he can get his grubby little hands on must be flying at a frantic pace. Stay tuned for more of his usual annoying bullshit victim and witch hunt rants.

Koko in AZ's avatar

I wonder is some prison guard will take over the job of "wet wipes" when he's locked up. With his man girdle on, he can't do it himself. And who pays for all his man diapers?

gmaxx's avatar

Or a UV lamp up his rectum. Either would work.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

I saw on Facebook a post of a gas handle hanging on the tank the other day with the caution: Do not insert into mouth or rectum. And it wasn't handwritten.

gmaxx's avatar

Ah, 'Murica! So stupid.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

Republicans' war on public education has been a roaring success.

gmaxx's avatar

They've done a great job. Thank Reagan for eliminating the ethics in reporting rules to allow Murdock to create Fox BullS%#t Mountain.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Fuck that guy and anyone who doesn’t stand against him. I’m too angry to think anything else.

DR JAGC's avatar

Anyone who doesn’t want this addled fuck back in office needs to show video of him golfing, with his audio of bleach and 15 cases to zero, and then to hospitals with patients dying of Covid, to him golfing and bodies building up outside of hospitals and the final tally. Then someone needs to connect the dots to supply chain issues, the collapse of the economy because of Covid etc. Dems need to do this NOW.

Gene Oyler's avatar

Trump is the modern day Nero, instead of a fiddle, he used a golf club.

Trump- “What’s wrong with golfing during the Pandemic?”

Us- “Because fuck you, that’s why!”

Catherine's avatar

Also, didn't the fluorescent crime factory also discontinue/disband the pandemic response team (because Obama created it)? That would be something to include.

meryl selig's avatar

Yes!!!!!! Dems do NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE of this material. Show pictures! Stop using polysyllabics. Keep it simple so no translation (nor any reading ability above 5th grade) and keep repeating. Tik Tok campaign

meryl selig's avatar

And!! Use the material as Jeff sets it out. Images and the simple things we all endured and observed. So simple… Dems have their heads up somewhere and seem tongue-tied or shy about pounding these messages. It drives me bonkers.

Catherine's avatar

Same here. Hillary lost because she didn't take Zuckerberg up on social media help offer on Facebook for her campaign (he offered to both), the Republicans welcomed it, and it was one of the very big factor that hurt her campaign-so unbelievably stupid. So while LDFF always shoots himself in the face, the Democratic marketing & strategizing team is so passive and steps on rakes or falls asleep during key timeframes, it's unbelievable. They have plethora of material, they need to get aggressive! We've already had 2 very good campaign ad suggestions just this week (such as this today from DR JAGC).

Same...I get frustrated with the lack of strong Democratic messaging. They could be educating voters with indisputable facts ... be consistent.

Susan Niemann's avatar

This was the moment I almost choked on my peanut butter toast: "the rotting colostomy bag inside Trump’s head chose that unfortunate moment to spring a leak". 😂

The Appeals Court ruling is very promising...I feel I ride the wave of good news/bad news every day and this is good news! Donny Diaperload can go fuck himself.

*him* -- I'd be happy to send *him* some. Even a stick. And a strongly-worded message, probably leading off with an F-bomb or two. I doubt all this would make it through a security screening, but if it did, all the squirrels in his head would explode lol

Larry Bushard's avatar

This should have happened before Judge Chutkan had to remove the March 5th trial date but I am glad to finally have the ruling.

Susan Niemann's avatar

IKR? Let's get this over with already!

P. J. Schuster's avatar

Ikr what a coincidence that very shortly after she relinquished that date, THEN the immunity opinion gets released. Gosh dammit!! Chukan has a European vacation planned for August, but says if she can get that trial started she will give that up.

Sharon C Storm's avatar

Hopefully, the court date can be reset to sometime in April. We would get a verdict before the election, and that would be a BFD.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Indeed it would! GOD! I'll be soooo relieved when this asshole is put away. 🙄

Sharon C Storm's avatar

There are millions of us who agree!

Charlie Austin's avatar

Flee the interview, that is. (Gulf states or Russia)

P. J. Schuster's avatar

That was my favorite line from the movie Fargo!!

He’s fleeing the interview 😂😂

Jeff's posts should come with a disclaimer, "Absolutely no eating or drinking while reading this essay."

Susan Niemann's avatar

Thats the absolute truth. I usually am eating breakfast and I've had my share of coffee through the nose! 😂

Kathleen Weber's avatar

By October 2024, there should be so many great clips of Donald Trump looking stupid that the Biden campaign will be able to make a killer ad for use in swing states.

Why it would be best to wait till October to deny the Trump campaign time to come up with counter programming.

un poco loco's avatar

Why wait until Oct 2024? There is already SO much footage of him looking stupid. Also of him making hugely embellished claims that he's been proved mentally competent (hahahahahaha)...

meryl selig's avatar

Right TC. The messages have to be short, simple repetitive and loaded with images. People don’t read and young people read less.

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Well Jeff, after this ruling perhaps Donald will have second thoughts about boarding his private jet and fly to Moscow. Since his good buddy Tucker is already there probably negotiating a proper welcome and residence for the Orange Blob. Perhaps Donald could become the new mayor of The Villages, currently being constructed in the suburbs of Moscow..hoping to attract White MAGAS, Christians and perhaps Q nut balls… This morning I fill my bong with MAGA tears 😭

Kay G's avatar

Good place for the orange menace - The Villages in Moscow - what a nice thought.

Karla's avatar

This is excellent. If he really wanted those 11,780 votes, he could have found them in a list of registered republicans who died from their cult leader’s handling of COVID.

Karla's avatar

He screwed himself with his no mask recommendations and inciting people to commit felonies so they can no longer vote.. but he’s a genius 😂.

un poco loco's avatar

A VERY STABLE genius -- don't forget that part! (whatever it means lol)

I think that… along with his campaign advisors he should have 5 or so of us Dem activists and hard core supporters of all races giving him campaign advice too. Frankly we’re closer to the dem voters than they are

un poco loco's avatar

That definitely needs to happen, but I think Joe's probably got the other half of this already... he was at this campaign stop yesterday, answering questions from the press, grinning, looking very relaxed, with a big glass of bubble tea. They asked him if he was going to debate Trump, because Trump really wants to debate him, like, immediately.

He laughed and said "Immediately? if I were him, I'd want him to debate me too. He's got nothing else to do."

I know Biden's a seasoned campaigner, but he's also really quick on his feet. He threw a LOT of offhand shade there -- Trump does nothing, while Joe is running a nation... and drinking bubble tea lol... even contending with a stammer, he stays cool, and one thing Trump will NEVER be is cool. I think that probably drives Trump into a fit of rage every time he's reminded. And with snap like that response had, Joe puts the lie to the right wing's contention he's senile.

Stephen Colbert's impression of him wearing aviators all the time speaks to that, too, and so do all the memes where he's creatively booby-trapping the White House in January 2016 and Obama has to keep talking him down. Highlighting what a disaster -- what a maniac -- Trump is needs to be done. But it's also good to remind people just how far from that Joe is.

un poco loco's avatar

I'm an old lady (with NO MAGA HAT) and for the record, I am fine with being around people who swear. In fact, it would help if you were fine with that too; otherwise, you're going to be kind of uncomfortable.

One of the most callous, reprehensible aspects of America in this pandemic is the near-complete disregard for the million-plus dead, and the six million-plus dead worldwide, despite the very reasonable chance that any of us are less than 2 degrees of separation from at least one of those deaths.

Stranger Than Friction's avatar

Not to mention all of the cases of long-haul covid in the USA. And the deaths per week number for covid has yet to drop to zero. It might be higher than flu right now for deaths and hospitalizations! (Go to the Your Local Epidemiologist substack for more info each week.)
