Not really. It's a sure way for us to be distinguishable from the morons that infect the RWNJ group. I welcome it when somebody points out a mistake I’ve made.
I agree. The fact that our writing tends to be spelled correctly, and that most of us know the difference between there/they're/their, to/too/two, its/it's, etc, is a point of pride. We believe in education and expertise, and don't celebrate the refusal to learn.
I am a federal employee, and one thing that isn't talked about in the news is how much frigging time and effort goes into preparing for a fed gov shutdown by agencies like mine. I'm a Minor Cog in the Machine, and I spent two full days NOT doing my tax-payer-funded job, but instead getting ready to close down. Those up the food chain spent even more time on this bullshit. And we'll have to do it all over again in November...
Bowman actually did the country a favor by pulling the alarm. The morons were planning to run the clock down and cause the shutdown by sitting in their offices til nearly midnight. He did not delay the vote. He actually forced it to happen.
Bowman decided to suffer the consequences of his actions. He took the fall for all of us. Truly a good man. I hope he only suffers a reprimand. The same committee that has given santos a pass can exercise leniency in this case.
But thy couldn’t have done it under cover. The dems would have cried foul at the top of their lungs. It is not easy to expel duly elected representatives. Look at santos, he is still there despite his many crimes. Look at menendes, even his own party would have a difficult time kicking him out.
I think he was using their tactics to mock them. And I am glad you gave us the facts jack. If we speculate that is on us. From what transpired, I believe the MAGAT caucus knew they would probably lose. so their only tactic was to delay the vote until it would be too late to get it through the Senate anon to the President’s desk. So Bowmen decided to get them off their a$$es and into the Capital in a timely fashion.
That also makes sense. I believe his action brought us to a successful conclusion today. Now we have time to work out a deal that isolates the 🍊💩 for good. Of course there will be serious threats issued from mar-a-lago but if “my kevin” was able to rise above his edict this time it will give the people who voted for the CR time to develop stamina to vote for an actual funding bill.
Actually, I think Hakeem Jefferies as Minority Leader, was allowed to speak for as long as he wanted on the issue, and he spoke for 45 minutes to allow the Democrats to go over the bill.
My favorite Tiedrich Gem 💎from today: “infuriatingly-unindicted sex pest Matt Gaetz” 🤣🤣🤣. OMG, it’s not only the pure perfection of word selection, but also the poetic sequencing!!! Jeff Tiedrich is truly the Stephen Sondheim of political commentary!!
I’m actually hoping for a book. Title idea: The Trump Years - As Interpreted by Jeff Tiedrich. I will donate my royalties for this idea to Jeff’s wife so she can feel that at least she got something out of this deal. Thank you for loaning your husband to us Mrs. Tiedrich.👍
I didn't watch it, but did he actually call Gaetz a "poop-head"? Because that would mark the early development of a spine and perhaps the vestigial remains of testicles.
Kevin won't be the Speaker in 45 days. Gaetz would lose face with the crazies if he didn't try to oust Kevin. The problem for the sex pest is that he doesn't have the 218 needed to install another Republican. That allows Jeffries to go to the Republicans who represent Biden districts and form a coalition government in the House. This would knock Kevin AND the shit singers out of the box.
Absolutely! If, as I suspect, kevin had to agree to letting dems propose legislation to fund Ukraine reach the floor, they already have the votes for it to pass (that’s a time honored Pelosi move). So sex pest will be further humiliated and his band of morons will lose any leverage they had. In any scenario, Kevin’s career is over. He will remain speaker with the help and under the thumb of the dems. 🍊💩will have him primaries out next year and replaced with a worse zombie. We will organize like crazy and kick the fascist candidate out. All good!
I pray for that one Charlie. But a more possible scenario is Kevin remains speaker with the help of Dems with the sworn promise of shutting down the sham impeachment and providing Ukraine aid. The beauty in this would be the cra-cra caucus will be defanged until 2024 when they all lose their fucking seats.
Nobody trusts McCarthy. The one thing that Gaetz said that I agreed with was that McCarthy lies to everyone...'he lied to Biden and he lied to conservative Republicans'. (Gaetz used the words 'conservative Republicans...but it's the GQP/MAGA crazies and apparently everyone else)
I wonder if the "deal" Kevin made with the Democrats could have included keeping him as Speaker if a motion to vacate is put on the floor. I honestly don't know that Gaetz has the votes needed to remove McCarthy. And the GOP alternatives could be a hell of a lot worse.
That’s what I think has happened. Part of the deal is to let them put forward legislation to fund Ukraine as early as this week. This will be a further kick in the head to the sex pest but will signal to his followers that they are dead in the water. The downside is 🍊💩will issue a fatwa on “my Kevin”. As far as the fascist base is concerned, kevin is now a turncoat and will probably be promaried.
79. And almost sorry I lived to see it. I grew up with Ike in the White House. Been fairy liberal all my life, but he's looking better all the time. If he were still around, can you imagine what the Petulant Papaya would have to say about him today? ("I prefer heroes who didn't beat Hitler.")
“Angry poop head”😂😂. This group of GOP extremists are a giant shit stain in Americas history. Not an ounce of integrity or intellect between them. Don’t the voters in their districts get tired of electing these knuckle dragging do nothings to keep wasting tax dollars? Great piece Jeff. You made me snort my coffee! 🤣
All truth. Yet this morning read an opinion piece that described sexpest (have you copyrighted this yet?you should) Gaetz as a “firebrand”. Which is true only if that refers to the dormitory jackasses who set fire to a bag of poop at the doorway to your dorm room, knock and then run.
Godsdamnit. These people make my head explode 🤯. They're the worst kind of sadist. They can't wield a whip without tripping over it because their masks are all on backwards.
I thought a lot of the Maga people were Christian evangelists. I think self flagellation can possibly get you into Heaven or get you some kind of sainthood maybe. Eventually, the Magas have to make an effort at making amends, don’t they? I’m envisioning large rallies of ex-magas assembling in the park and self flagellating with whips. I got kind of mixed up in parochial school.
putin must be dancing for joy, his orange fat blob and his traitorous blob's moronic puppets are pulling through for him by temporarily (it is temporary) fucking over Ukraine.
When we get control of the House and keep the Senate, we must pass a law that if you are proven to be working for another country you go to fucking jail and immediately lose your seat. Maybe there is one?
"Expel Jamaal Bowman" yelled Lauren Boebert whilst tucking her lady parts back into her dress whilst being expelled from a crowded family theatre for performing lewd acts on her bf and and..............
yes, I know I misspelled hyperventilating. it's fixed.
WE NEED THE GRAMMAR POLICE TO BACK OFF.

Did you see this Jeff? Knives are out and I am ROFLMAO!!! All I can say is goody, goody, gumdrops! https://www.rawstory.com/kevin-mccarthy-expel-matt-gaetz/
You said it all so fucking perfect! Couldn’t have been said any better Jeff!!

All the more reason to kick these jokers out of office next year. Think of all the waste they
Perpetuate on our hard-earned dollars.
Yes. It sure is a bigass waste of taxpayer $dollars$ to have to jerk everyone around AGAIN in 45 days.
And why aren’t we CONSTANTLY hearing about the $30+ MILLION in damages that taxpayers covered for the Capitol mess after J6???😡🔥
That is just plain awful.
Agree. Retired Fed here, and I know exactly what you're talking about.
HFS!!! 🤬
This is SUCH an important point! Why isn't this being discussed more in the mainstream media??
I was a fed at a VA hospital during the Reagan Administration. Fun times for sure.
Bowman actually did the country a favor by pulling the alarm. The morons were planning to run the clock down and cause the shutdown by sitting in their offices til nearly midnight. He did not delay the vote. He actually forced it to happen.
Doing the country a favour is grounds for dismissal from Republican-run orgs unless the country in question is Russia.
Bowman decided to suffer the consequences of his actions. He took the fall for all of us. Truly a good man. I hope he only suffers a reprimand. The same committee that has given santos a pass can exercise leniency in this case.
You do know that Bowman is a democrat, right?
Yes. And you do know Tennessee tried expelling several Democrats, right?
The active word is “tried” but failed. We should not be intimidated by their useless tactics to get rid of us.
Although I think they failed only because of the public attention drawn to it. If they could have done it unnoticed, they would have.
But thy couldn’t have done it under cover. The dems would have cried foul at the top of their lungs. It is not easy to expel duly elected representatives. Look at santos, he is still there despite his many crimes. Look at menendes, even his own party would have a difficult time kicking him out.
I thought he was buying time for the Dems to read the 71 page bill they were just handed and were expected to vote on within a certain time.
I dunno. I can only report what he said in his official statement
I think he was using their tactics to mock them. And I am glad you gave us the facts jack. If we speculate that is on us. From what transpired, I believe the MAGAT caucus knew they would probably lose. so their only tactic was to delay the vote until it would be too late to get it through the Senate anon to the President’s desk. So Bowmen decided to get them off their a$$es and into the Capital in a timely fashion.
That is what I read in someone's Substack today was the reason Hakeem Jeffries gave a 52 minute speech.
That also makes sense. I believe his action brought us to a successful conclusion today. Now we have time to work out a deal that isolates the 🍊💩 for good. Of course there will be serious threats issued from mar-a-lago but if “my kevin” was able to rise above his edict this time it will give the people who voted for the CR time to develop stamina to vote for an actual funding bill.
Actually, I think Hakeem Jefferies as Minority Leader, was allowed to speak for as long as he wanted on the issue, and he spoke for 45 minutes to allow the Democrats to go over the bill.
If Jamaal Bowman can't correctly read an emergency alarm sign, what hope is there that he'll manage a 71-page bill?
A lot more hope than the completely illiterate and vacuous 🍊💩zombies acting on his orders.
My favorite Tiedrich Gem 💎from today: “infuriatingly-unindicted sex pest Matt Gaetz” 🤣🤣🤣. OMG, it’s not only the pure perfection of word selection, but also the poetic sequencing!!! Jeff Tiedrich is truly the Stephen Sondheim of political commentary!!
He should write plays.
Jeff could be our new David Mamet except with actual comedic/literary talent. Pre-apologies to any Mamet fans out there.
I’m actually hoping for a book. Title idea: The Trump Years - As Interpreted by Jeff Tiedrich. I will donate my royalties for this idea to Jeff’s wife so she can feel that at least she got something out of this deal. Thank you for loaning your husband to us Mrs. Tiedrich.👍
Or, Fuck The Trump Years...
Much better. 50-50 on the royalties Gail.
Deal!

Aaron Parnas makes the case that Gaetz could end up being the loser in this battle. regardless, pass the popcorn

Tend to agree… who else REALLY wants that job now - esp after this 🫠
I broached the idea with my cat. Ms. Kitty gave me the side eye and farted. I guess that's a no.
My cat's much smarter than most humans as well!🤣
🤓🤓 I'd like to see Ms. Kitty put the "velcro face grab" on Young Frankenstein(Gaetz).
Young Frankenstein is PERFECT!!!

That would work, but I don't trust McCarthy.
He's a spineless worm, remember.

That could be. We're about to find out.
Slingers
Oops
shit singers, shit slingers, it all works! :)
Yes, they sing while they sling.
Yep, you're right.
From your lips...
What a wonderful scenario! I don’t know how likely this is to come to pass.
If Young Frankenstein moves to vacate the chair, there's going to be a power vacuum. Jeffries needs to be bold enough to fill it.
Who on Earth votes for these clowns? I’m 67 years old and don’t ever remember a shit show of this magnitude.
I am 71, and you are correct.
79. And almost sorry I lived to see it. I grew up with Ike in the White House. Been fairy liberal all my life, but he's looking better all the time. If he were still around, can you imagine what the Petulant Papaya would have to say about him today? ("I prefer heroes who didn't beat Hitler.")

Or set a couch on fire after your team actually wins a football game.
Would that be the couch out front of your trailer, next to the junk car??? 🤔🤔🤔
if he's a Firebrand, I guess Jamaal had good reason to set off alarms.
Or able to make a lot match burn more brightly by farting on it ;-)
Lol! Perfect! 👍🏻
😂😂😂 Yes!!!
Godsdamnit. These people make my head explode 🤯. They're the worst kind of sadist. They can't wield a whip without tripping over it because their masks are all on backwards.
Nice image of a sad sack situation.
So the suggestion here is that you're proficient with whips? :p
I thought a lot of the Maga people were Christian evangelists. I think self flagellation can possibly get you into Heaven or get you some kind of sainthood maybe. Eventually, the Magas have to make an effort at making amends, don’t they? I’m envisioning large rallies of ex-magas assembling in the park and self flagellating with whips.

This reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the monks beat themselves over the head with a 2X4.
No. The other end.....😳😏😉
I don't think that lip flapping dipshit has the votes to depose McCarthy. We'll see if he even tries.
Marry me. Marry me NOW. 😀 😍 🤩 ☺️ 😃
marrying you would probably annoy my wife
Not to mention I'm a lesbian, so it would tank my chances with the girls at Michfest. 😜
Maybe Jeff's a lesbian too. Most straight guys are you know.
Maybe Jeff is in touch with enough of his feminine side to count?
I thought I saw him first! 🤣🤣
I like that it's only "probably."
You have that effect though. It’s the bleeping truth.
🤣😂🤣
"probably"?
You guys KILL me!!! 😂😂😂 👍🏼
I’m always so pleased when someone not from Pittsburgh uses our homegrown identity,
“Jag off”. Please YouTube “Pittsburgh Dad” for proof of “yeah, we’re really like this, ya Jag.”
John Fetterman used it in a text last week, perfect nomenclature for freedom caucus loony tunes. 😅
I love Fetterman!
So do I!! Hell ya!
putin must be dancing for joy, his orange fat blob and his traitorous blob's moronic puppets are pulling through for him by temporarily (it is temporary) fucking over Ukraine.

On Face The Nation this morning, lying loser Kevin McCarthy made an ass of himself again.
McCARTHY: I wasn't sure it was gonna pass. You know why? Because the Democrats tried to do everything they can not to let it pass.
BRENNAN: Democrats were the ones who voted for this!
