I have been saying since the beginning, when Patel first came on the scene, that his eyes were frightening…and a while back it dawned on me, they are same as a guy who gave me nightmares 50 years ago…Charlie Manson. He’s got Charlie Manson eyes!
OMG….LOVE Randy Rainbow. Don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, but given how wonderfully clever and awesome he is, it wouldn’t surprise me if they went after him should he come out with one of his great songs given how thin this Administration’s skin is, non more than tRUMP’s🤬🤬
Nah. I had an iguana years ago, and Benny had a very direct, but not glaring, gaze. Just merely interested in what went on around him. T? None of that.
Curiously, Trump has an unusually attractive shade of blue eyes. It is in fact his only attractive feature, but I’m wondering if it hasn’t gotten him through a lot of stuff that a brown eyed or green eyed man or even someone with light blue eyes could never have gotten away with.
Absolutely. He is incredibly self centered and clearly dishonest that I cant imagine anyone believing him. He inherited 400 million dollars. Thats is his real attraction to people who want to get a hold of it.
NO! I had Graves Disease until they irradiated my thyroid, putting me on Synthroid for the rest of my natural life to prevent HyPOthyroidism. One month later my eyes began to bulge (as the muscles grow larger than one's eye sockets, forcing one's eyes to protrude). It's devastating, especially for young women - those like me who wore contact lenses to see clearly and now had to deal with permanently painful eyes. I don't see that same 'bulging' with Patel. He clearly has wonky eyes but not 'that'. My mother's Patel-type stary eyes weren't attributed to thyroid disease either. MY diagnosis was the first (and so far the last) in my entire family. It's more likely environmental for me. For him? Manson-style Craziness.
Yes, Graves' disease affects the brain. Most commonly, neurological and cognitive symptoms, like brain fog, memory issues, and difficulty concentrating. Brain fog is the most common symptom, I think.
ExCUUUUSE me? MY brain hasn't been the least bit 'affected' by my now 30year old Graves Disease diagnosis! NO 'brain fog', NO 'memory issues', NO 'difficulty concentrating'. NO 'neurological or cognitive' symptoms. Thank you for YOUR attention to this matter, doctor!
I'm a retired nurse. And I know the symptoms for Graves' disease differs for men and women. But all one needs to do to verify this information is Google it. So your situation is anecdotal.
Perhaps Mr. Patel's possible Graves' is undiagnosed and not treated, but the thyroid is very much a part of cognitive and neurological function.
Krazy-eyes Patel is how I hear him referred to most often. In my own life, there's a younger (very attractive in fact) ;) landscape contractor who built our stone patios front and back. We became good friends, going out to dinner off and on; him remembering my birthday by dropping off roses every year, checking on us, etc. Much too young to have the serious medical issues he's since developed so we don't see him nearly as often, sadly, but a very interesting person to be around. A close family member of HIS is a long-time feebee somewhere out in the MidWest. Despite their more conservative viewpoints I canNOT imagine either of them thinking Patel heading up the FBI is even close to a good idea. Our pal took one look at a photo of my mother as a young woman and said: 'crazy-eyes: sociopath, ouch'. I'd never realized it showed before that day - then took a harder look at all of her younger photos that I had and there it was. He hadn't previously known about her nonstop abuse.
It’s okay. I’m pretty sure KKKash will give you plenty more opportunities to write about him. We’ve been watching the three separate branches of government merging into one big MAGA machine. The media, which has always been considered the fourth estate, is now collapsing before our eyes. They were our last hope. But it’s no surprise about Jimmy Kimmel. Trump has been after him since he made those jokes about him at the Oscars. A sociopathic, malignant narcissist like Trump has absolutely no sense of humor, unless it’s at the expense of someone else.
THIS! and the worst part about that specific Oscar brouhaha was that Jimmy merely read aloud exactly what frump had tweeted out about HIM! Which of course pissed off the toddler-in-chief who imagined his nastiness would stay 'private'. Jimmy then added: 'Isn't it past your jailtime'? getting an ENORMOUS laugh - and applause from the Awards audience as it fully sank in. They ROARED, which is the real impetus behind the orange fuckwit's savage insults about Jimmy. What a fucking child!
That always amazes me when South Asians think because they don't have African ancestry, they are white. Technically they are, but the British didnt think so and most Americans didnt think so. They are tokens. The Kashes and Nikki Haleys are just tokens.
I remember something something about Indians from India being declared 'Caucasian' officially, in Britain? At the time (I was young) it made me happy because they now couldn't be considered 'separate' and a classmate of mine was from there and as horrid as I thought the Nuns were to me, they were far worse to her. I remember little else but it was a BIG DEAL for the people it impacted and my Dad had spent time there and loved the people. It bothered me only because it shouldn't have been such a big deal but I hadn't yet grasped the full extent of how racism and discrimination worked in every day life but it did upset me that black people were still fair game, as evinced by my own mother's viciousness.
I dont understand why people who may experience prejudice due to race, ethnicity, and religion, and yet achieve success, choose to side with the very people who support prejudice against other people of color.
I laughed and laughed about the hat. I know when I saw it yesterday, I thought what the holy F is that? Another spaceship landed on her head? I think she wears that style so you can't see her eyes rolling. She looks ridiculous, but what else is new? Kudos to the British Royal Family for being classy around him.
The hats! She wears them to keep Preznut away from her. She wore a large brim hat on January 20 also. Preznut couldn't even buzz her cheek, can't get close enough.
Yep, I recall it, very weird, as a display from an American President's wife. That's a key value in the culture, really: Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton were both over-qualified for their roles as 'first Lady' but I like to think of Carter's wife - who it is said he often included and consulted on major decisions. It's just more of the embarrassment of Trump's presidency- excuse my wife, Melania appearing to be hiding behind her 'I-don't-want-to-be-here-or-his-wife-frankly' visual messaging.
I feel your pain, although somewhat different circumstances. Patel could be gone in three months, the length of time the Missouri AG would need to be an assistant FBI honcho before being named director.
There's a great makeup room open for use in the Pentagon: I'm sure Ka$h can get a booking at a discount, as long as Kegseth is out of town and not using it for his daily preening.
ABC/Disney CEO is Bob Iger. His email is Robert.Iger@Disney.com. If anyone reads his email, it's probably an unpaid intern who throws them in the trash, but I sent one anyway.
Dear Robert,
You don't know me, but years ago, you pitched a softball game against the team from Fattal and Collins. You tossed a wimpy pitch at me and I hit a double off you. I figured you were having a bad day, but in light of the Kimmel firing, no. You're just a wimp.
Mr. Iger - let me be the latest of many who are congratulating you for your reprehensible acts of cowardice. Because of rich cowards like you who are putting money and power over Country, we may very well end up living in a Fascist Dictatorship.
I used to read the ABC news website every single day - now I don’t and will never consume their content ever again. (Same for CBS.) I used to wait until Disney movies came out on DVD and buy and watch them at home. Now - never again.
I live 3 1/2 hours from Orlando and I think it is safe to say the place you are least likely to ever find me again in Disney World.
Nothing would please me more than to see you, tRump, and the rest of the oligarch class taxed into penury and all of the Megacorps broken up into easily regulated pieces.
True, look at the shriveled up Chuck Grassley, for instance. He looks like one of those apple-faced dolls. You know, the ones whose faces are apples that have dried up.
Exactly. Frankly, the only thing they'll feel or care about is cancellation of Hulu and Disney + subscriptions, probably won't be a significant number.
One of the most powerful women in entertainment who, at one time, showed incredible brains and grit to ascend the ranks of a heavily male-dominated industry is now joining the ranks of neutered, white men kissing the ass of this administration. She's also very close friends with Kamala so selling her soul seems an understatement. Please make sure you write to her too (respectfully) and let her know how you feel. [EDIT: What I meant my respectful is nonthreatening so I should have been more clear. I have no desire to police your speech either. I just want us to be heard.]
I have zero interest in being respectful to people who are dismantling the first amendment. The Constitution gives me the right to be disrespectful, and I intend to exercise it while we still have it. If you want to be polite, that's your call.
Yeah, my husband worked for the ad agency that promoted ABC at the time, that's how I came to play a softball game against the ABC team. Iger had to be pitcher, natch. He's as good at sports as he is at CEOing.
Ann, I couldn't hit worth ****, but I did have a good eye, and I got on base about .400 from walks. If I ever hit a ball out of the infield, I'd still be dreaming about it on a nightly basis.
Charlie Kirk was a racist pos. There. I said it. Sorry, not sorry. Did he deserve to be shot. No. Does he deserve to be canonized as some moral pillar of virtue. Hell no!
"Racist" barely even begins to describe how hateful, evil and destructive Charlie Kirk on so many fronts. Canonizing him and elevating him the way the right is doing is the equivalent of celebrating the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, the founder of the John Birch Society, Senator Joe McCarthy and Randall Terry, all in one. It's exposed the complete moral bankruptcy of the right, which makes a mockery of Christianity when it claims it for itself. It needs to seriously repent.
No one deserves to be shot. Get the guns off the streets.
Meidas Touch has already invited Kimmel to their network…of 6 mil. We must keep the words of truth-tellers in front of us. This feels like phase 2 of Fascism. Media is fully complicit and has been, taking this fight up ten notches. Never forget that there are more of us no matter how fearful you feel.
The greatest science fiction writers foretold a world where truth itself could be twisted until people no longer knew what was real, where governments could watch every move and every word and where endless distractions would thwart resistance. The politicians and government would use feigned religion and self-righteousness twisted into tyranny and corporations and machines would erode what it means to be human. They also showed that authoritarians fears comedy and art above all else because it cannot be controlled sparking imagination, memory, laughter, and dissent. That is why totalitarian regimes in their novels tried to erase it, replace it, or redefine it as dangerous or “unclean.” It’s not only that these fascists can’t handle being made fun, they can’t handle the truth in any form and have to crush it whoever it exits.
right wing ideas. We will soon have a society like Chinas : totalitarian , yet full of millionaires and billionaires seeking wealth off the backs of the commoners.
This is really no longer about Cankles. He's just a pathetic, demented, hateful POS who should be in prison somewhere. It's about the greed, cowardice and stupidity that allows him to get a way with it. There is no trump supporter who doesn't have one, two or all three of those of those qualities.
Cankles is just a drooling performing monkey at this point.
It's about those around him who are using his declining reputation among the base to ram through a fascist regime to lock in their control over the American government and economy before he goes cankles up because they don't have the rizz to get anyone to follow them on their own.
I would add to Frump supporters, the Great Reset Independents who do not hurt financially with out new K Economy. See Meidas network for great explanation of this. It is key to those who remain silent.
Jeff, reporting from CK Central in Phoenix. Today’s headline front page top of the fold in the AZ Republic…”Nation grapples with how to talk about CK’s beliefs” I’m not grappling… if you are grounded in your ethics and morals your not going to grapple discussing some of Charlie’s comments. BTW, some loon congressman wants to make Charlie the 13th Disciple, let MAGA and these mega MAGAs churches explain that comment🤡🤮 Best to All
That's why I cancelled my subscription to the AZ Republic last Nov. As Jeff calls them "worthless scribblers". The "don't tread on me" crowd are a bunch snowflake wusses and wimps.
I’ve not read the AZ Republic in 30 years nor do I watch the Barbies on the news shows here. For a city of over 3 million people, you would not believe the level of stupid that resides here.
Jeff, I sincerely wish we could organize a complete boycott of both Disneyland and Disneyworld for 30 days, no exceptions. The CEO of Target was fired for lost sales during to shit nning their DEI program. Can you imagine what a 30-day boycott would cost Iger!
Ceo of target was NOT canned, he was only removed from that position and still retains his seat on their board. Still not shopping there and probably won’t again!
Same. There are so many shops that I boycott. I'm reduced to shopping at TraderJoe's and Aldi. They are German. Free speech exists in the Former Nazi country. They learned their lesson. It's sad that we are forced to learn it here in America.
I quit shopping at Target when they took children's t-shirts out of the store because of the message" When I grow up, I want to be President." They were pink - in the girls department. Then they decided they could not honor doctor prescriptions for Birth Control Pills. That was in the 1990's. My children (55 & 59) will not shop there because of those two actions, but my Republican Sister-in-law does. She does not want a woman for President. . .Because of course she doesn't!
Is it possible Melania has gravitated to these ridiculous overwhelming hats, to hide her face, when her bumbling moronic husband, inevitably makes a fool of himself?
Stupidity always rises to the top, in these “meetings”
trump is incapable of talking about any subject, except himself!
David, I believe she was afraid to see somebody she blew on Epstein island because that’s how we say Epstein again is tied up by everything you can imagine.
The King of England and his ugly consort unctuously lavishing honor on Trump and his floor lamp must be making his mother spin in her crypt. This has to be for a deal related to Andrew.
Not that any of those assoles at the FCC care to look, but Jimmy's Thread about CK's death was very kind, honest, joke-free, and 100% more heartfelt than anything that ever fell out of trump's mouth over his supposed friend. Maybe Jimmy can cut and paste that and send it to Kirk's family for the alleged apology he now has to send.
We're off the edge of the map. People are getting fired right and left for not being sad enough over a racist homophobe who was allowed to spew his hate across the country AS HIS JOB but now that 1st Amendment is getting shredded in his name. I'd say make it make sense but nothing does anymore.
As Jonathan Last reminded us - almost exactly a year ago, at the one and only Presidential debate, Donald Trump declared that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio were eating their neighbors cats and dogs. "They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country , and it's a shame. That was false. Totally untrue.
Last went on to remind us that 7 days later, JD Vance went on CNN and admitted that the story was a lie. And he justified his deception as part of a greater mission: The American media ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, that's what I'm going to do.
So let's all ask Brendan Carr where the hell he was when Donald Trump and JD Vance were telling outright falsehoods about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio on the network media.
That’s it ! If the FSB are playing spot the visual trope games. We all know she is a spy but who, in the photograph, is the other one ? Starmer has boasted about working with UK Intelligence during his time in Northern Ireland…
First, to those on Liar, Fraud, Con, Grifter, Convicted-felon Trump’s Team of Threatening Psycho-Sycophants, I take seriously your threats to take away my rights under the First Amendment; my rights to voice my opinion and to protest in a peaceful, non-violent, non-threatening manner.
Second, to Liar Trump, Psycho Bondi, Psycho Blanche, Psycho Miller, Psycho Hegseth (and others in similar positions in Fraud Trump’s administration) my full and truthful disclaimer: I am not part of any group, association or network. I am a citizen of these United States acting purely on his own. I’ve not been radicalized by anyone; my opinions are based on common sense – that our country elected to the highest office in the land, a person who is pure and utter scum, a person who is our nation’s Presidential Accident & Disgrace. Our nation’s divider-in-chief, a person who constantly lies to the American People, a person who has filled his administration with incompetent, equally divisive, god-damn fucking morons/goons.
As to Charlie Kirk, a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, “Thoughts & Prayers.” As to our Second Amendment, I do believe that our Founding Fathers never envisioned the invention of automatic weapons, weapons capable of slaughtering hundreds of innocent schoolchildren in a fraction of time. How about our elected officials enact common-sense gun control laws.
President Donald J Trump will go down in history as the Worst. President. Ever., a shitstain on, and embarrassment to, the United States of America.
The double standard that the MAGAts have forced on America continues to get even more egregious. Murder of State Rep. Hortman and her husband by an anti-choice Trump supporter, leaving their children orphans? Not one fucking word of condemnation or even condolences from the right. Not one. Murder of Kirk by the scion of republican gun lovers? MAGA smears the left with blame (and without proof), paints him a hero, awards him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, flags at half staff, and now Bondi wants to prosecute a Home Depot employee for not producing flyers celebrating this racist anti-woman homophobe. Remember when the right absolutely backed that Xtian baker in CO for refusing to bake a wedding cake for that same sex couple? Because FREEDUMB. So different now when the shoe’s on the other foot. Fucking fascists
I just canceled my subscription to Disney+/Hulu and let them know that it was in protest against their assault on the First Amendment. They have to be hit where it hurts - in the pocketbook,
PSA re Disney/Hulu: if you plan to cancel your service, be sure to also go into the privacy settings and follow the ridiculous rigamarole necessary to actually delete your entire account.
Otherwise they will merely pause your subscription but retain your data, and be able to claim that you are an account holder. (to advertisers, investors etc.)
I never really used Hulu but did sign up for it a few years ago for a specific thing, and was aghast last night to find that while my paid subscription had been canceled, they still had me as a member.
sigh. I had so many fun clips of Kash Patel looking like an idiot, all queued up for today's post, and then -this- happens.
Please do share the clips of Ka$h. He is intensely hilarious… a face made for satire, parody and everything else.
There are 100s of those already....and they get more hilarious every time the come up.
A face made of hate
I have been saying since the beginning, when Patel first came on the scene, that his eyes were frightening…and a while back it dawned on me, they are same as a guy who gave me nightmares 50 years ago…Charlie Manson. He’s got Charlie Manson eyes!
Sounds like a song coming up!
Think such a song, done by Randy Rainbow would be FANTASTIC…to the tune of The Kim Carnes song BETTY DAVIS EYES!!
yes.. and tell Randy Rainbow to also work up a song to Delta Dawn.. Diaper Don what’s that shitload you’ve got on.
Oof, I just suffered agelash.😵💫
Precisely what I was thinking. Great minds...
Randy, are you reading this? 😀
He's got crazy Patel eyes.
That's crazy with a "K."
YES - I just posted about this, hadn't seen yours. Apologies.
::Think such a song, done by Randy Rainbow would be FANTASTIC…to the tune of The Kim Carnes song BETTY DAVIS EYES!!::
Yep, I heard it the second you said "Charlie Manson Eyes", Christie!
If Randy Rainbow isn't already writing that song? He needs to get on it, now!
Omg! Exactly. That song came into my head immediately. Too funny.
OMG….LOVE Randy Rainbow. Don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, but given how wonderfully clever and awesome he is, it wouldn’t surprise me if they went after him should he come out with one of his great songs given how thin this Administration’s skin is, non more than tRUMP’s🤬🤬
😂😂😂
T💩p has Charles Manson eyes too. I have a clip of the two of them using the same facial expressions. Scary.
I think Trump has little piggy eyes! 👀 🐷
yep; and they're disappearing under all the bags.
You noticed that too, eh?
I see reptile eyes!
Toady, bullfrog is what leaps into my mind.
YES
T has iguana eyes.
Nah. I had an iguana years ago, and Benny had a very direct, but not glaring, gaze. Just merely interested in what went on around him. T? None of that.
Curiously, Trump has an unusually attractive shade of blue eyes. It is in fact his only attractive feature, but I’m wondering if it hasn’t gotten him through a lot of stuff that a brown eyed or green eyed man or even someone with light blue eyes could never have gotten away with.
Trump being really vain, I wouldn’t be surprised if he uses blue colored lenses to enhance his looks.
Absolutely. He is incredibly self centered and clearly dishonest that I cant imagine anyone believing him. He inherited 400 million dollars. Thats is his real attraction to people who want to get a hold of it.
😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
'Charlie Manson Eyes"...
P'raps Lara could sing it. . .
No, thank you.
Now THAT made me spit out my (luckily lukewarm) tea!
Sing? Is that what Lara does? Sounds like screetching to me.
Not only manson but so many mug shots over the years, it’s a sign that you slid off your cracker.
Has Patel got Graves disease?
NO! I had Graves Disease until they irradiated my thyroid, putting me on Synthroid for the rest of my natural life to prevent HyPOthyroidism. One month later my eyes began to bulge (as the muscles grow larger than one's eye sockets, forcing one's eyes to protrude). It's devastating, especially for young women - those like me who wore contact lenses to see clearly and now had to deal with permanently painful eyes. I don't see that same 'bulging' with Patel.

It's more likely environmental for me. For him? Manson-style Craziness.
Cross-eyed Kash.😂
But isn't it comforting that the Director of the FBI possibly suffers from hindered executive functioning?
Um, does that affect your brain and ability to think?
Yes, Graves' disease affects the brain. Most commonly, neurological and cognitive symptoms, like brain fog, memory issues, and difficulty concentrating. Brain fog is the most common symptom, I think.
ExCUUUUSE me? MY brain hasn't been the least bit 'affected' by my now 30year old Graves Disease diagnosis! NO 'brain fog', NO 'memory issues', NO 'difficulty concentrating'. NO 'neurological or cognitive' symptoms. Thank you for YOUR attention to this matter, doctor!

You are right!
So true. Patel has crazy eyes.
Yes! That’s it!
Yes his eyes. I like to do his eyes in the mirror for a big laugh.
It’s okay. I’m pretty sure KKKash will give you plenty more opportunities to write about him. We’ve been watching the three separate branches of government merging into one big MAGA machine.

Its because the media ownership is collapsing into one big blob. And this blob has an insatiable desire for more and more wealth.
Rump is so easy to trash.
Stephanie, the problem is that the KKK would NEVER accept Kash into their club because his color doesn’t muster up to theirs.
That always amazes me when South Asians think because they don't have African ancestry, they are white. Technically they are, but the British didnt think so and most Americans didnt think so. They are tokens. The Kashes and Nikki Haleys are just tokens.

Here, I gave you a carlin clip and a Kimmel clip.
The only two ways I felt like you do it right.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/jimmy-kimmel-vs-pam-boxedblonde-blondie
And its a cage fight read. :)
Thanks for the Oliver Wendell Holmes quotation--I'm going to use it!
We can enjoy a bit of schadenfreude knowing that Kash Patel has to go through life looking like Kash Patel.
perfect.
I, for one, look forward to someday living in a Kash-free society.
Maybe Congress will opt to go Kashless.
Ka$h can wait, but the firing of Kimmel can’t. This is how the Third Reich started!
I’m really frightened.
I'm more angry than frightened.
👍👍
I agree, Susan.
"Kash Patel looking like an idiot" is a file in the Department of Redundancy Department.
I laughed and laughed about the hat. I know when I saw it yesterday, I thought what the holy F is that? Another spaceship landed on her head?

“I really don’t care . . . do you?”
Nope!
Hope they fumigate the whole castle after he leaves. Bleeech!
That castle hasn't stunk that bad since Henry VIII.
I don't know what I liked more, the death by hat or the summer-like yellow dress.
You need to post 24/7 to keep up with this monstrous regime.
Sometimes I think they're auditioning for the next James Bond villain.
The colonhoses of shit never stop. Who knew we needed a vaccine against Tubgirl?
"Colonhose"--I love it.
I feel your pain, although somewhat different circumstances. Patel could be gone in three months, the length of time the Missouri AG would need to be an assistant FBI honcho before being named director.
You need filler for the weekend, since I expect Trump will take Fri off after his tiring week.
Yeah, I think he also has the incorrect eyebrow manicurist... I mean, there are such people. . . and he definitely needs someone else for that.
There's a great makeup room open for use in the Pentagon: I'm sure Ka$h can get a booking at a discount, as long as Kegseth is out of town and not using it for his daily preening.
Wow, but. . . . our tax dollars at work? Geez.
There’s always tomorrow. 💙
You got to show Krazy Eyes Kash! His face writes his jokes.

Good!
Dear Mr. Iger-
Indeed, the Great Ones never know when to retire…
Sadly, 🇺🇸
True, look at the shriveled up Chuck Grassley, for instance. He looks like one of those apple-faced dolls. You know, the ones whose faces are apples that have dried up.
Thanks. You inspired me to send a letter to Iger. Not that it will amount to much but it felt empowering to write and send it.
Exactly. Frankly, the only thing they'll feel or care about is cancellation of Hulu and Disney + subscriptions, probably won't be a significant number.
Bob Iger has always been a piece of shit but the disappointment I feel for Dana Walden's part in this is massive. https://deadline.com/2025/09/jimmy-kimmel-decision-disney-dana-walden-bob-iger-1236547651/
One of the most powerful women in entertainment who, at one time, showed incredible brains and grit to ascend the ranks of a heavily male-dominated industry is now joining the ranks of neutered, white men kissing the ass of this administration. She's also very close friends with Kamala so selling her soul seems an understatement. Please make sure you write to her too (respectfully) and let her know how you feel. [EDIT: What I meant my respectful is nonthreatening so I should have been more clear. I have no desire to police your speech either. I just want us to be heard.]
I have zero interest in being respectful to people who are dismantling the first amendment. The Constitution gives me the right to be disrespectful, and I intend to exercise it while we still have it. If you want to be polite, that's your call.
Iger was head of ABC-Cap Cities. In the merger with Disney, he got the top job for some reason. Maybe Roy Disney didn’t want the job.
Yeah, my husband worked for the ad agency that promoted ABC at the time, that's how I came to play a softball game against the ABC team. Iger had to be pitcher, natch. He's as good at sports as he is at CEOing.
Dear Ann, you are my sports hero!
You have no idea how funny that is. :-D
Ann, I couldn't hit worth ****, but I did have a good eye, and I got on base about .400 from walks. If I ever hit a ball out of the infield, I'd still be dreaming about it on a nightly basis.
Can we sign him up for cheap viagra ads or something?
You go, girl! Fuck that wimpy prick!
I just canceled my Hulu/Disney+ subscription. I'll miss the second season of Shogun, but it'll wind up on Netflix eventually anyway.
Unless of course Netflix goes evil/cowardly.
Dear Bob,🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Brilliant!👏🏼
Charlie Kirk was a racist pos. There. I said it. Sorry, not sorry. Did he deserve to be shot. No. Does he deserve to be canonized as some moral pillar of virtue. Hell no!
"Racist" barely even begins to describe how hateful, evil and destructive Charlie Kirk on so many fronts. Canonizing him and elevating him the way the right is doing is the equivalent of celebrating the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, the founder of the John Birch Society, Senator Joe McCarthy and Randall Terry, all in one. It's exposed the complete moral bankruptcy of the right, which makes a mockery of Christianity when it claims it for itself. It needs to seriously repent.
No one deserves to be shot. Get the guns off the streets.
So weird how the subject was quickly changed to ‘the Ballroom’ in the immediate CK aftermath… hmmm
LDFF doesn’t give a shit about CK— he cares about some hideous ballroom that he says HE is going to pay for. Drumph NEVER PAYS FOR ANYTHING!!
👍👍👍
Meidas Touch has already invited Kimmel to their network…of 6 mil. We must keep the words of truth-tellers in front of us. This feels like phase 2 of Fascism. Media is fully complicit and has been, taking this fight up ten notches. Never forget that there are more of us no matter how fearful you feel.
The greatest science fiction writers foretold a world where truth itself could be twisted until people no longer knew what was real, where governments could watch every move and every word and where endless distractions would thwart resistance. The politicians and government would use feigned religion and self-righteousness twisted into tyranny and corporations and machines would erode what it means to be human. They also showed that authoritarians fears comedy and art above all else because it cannot be controlled sparking imagination, memory, laughter, and dissent. That is why totalitarian regimes in their novels tried to erase it, replace it, or redefine it as dangerous or “unclean.” It’s not only that these fascists can’t handle being made fun, they can’t handle the truth in any form and have to crush it whoever it exits.
I’ve said it before, we are living in the middle of a Venn diagram of Animal Farm, the Handmaid’s Tale, 1984, and a Brave New World.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
You forgot Lord of the Flies.
Blade Runner on the way…
How soon will we reach the "Mad Max" stage?
THAT is a perfect description, Mary.
The Paralax View
Excellent post Sarah- we are being
overrun by these facists bombardment of
right wing ideas. We will soon have a society like Chinas : totalitarian , yet full of millionaires and billionaires seeking wealth off the backs of the commoners.
I'll sign up for Meidas Touch if Kimmel goes with them.
I hope he goes on Jim Costa, too.
This is really no longer about Cankles. He's just a pathetic, demented, hateful POS who should be in prison somewhere. It's about the greed, cowardice and stupidity that allows him to get a way with it. There is no trump supporter who doesn't have one, two or all three of those of those qualities.
You forgot the racism. The ties that bind.
Let’s add: no imagination. That they couldn’t see a ban on “hate speech” banning their hate speech is mystifying.
Bingo!!
Racism! The ties that bind. Without it this administration would disintegrate overnight. And most are camped out in the “church”.
Cankles is just a drooling performing monkey at this point.
It's about those around him who are using his declining reputation among the base to ram through a fascist regime to lock in their control over the American government and economy before he goes cankles up because they don't have the rizz to get anyone to follow them on their own.
I would add to Frump supporters, the Great Reset Independents who do not hurt financially with out new K Economy. See Meidas network for great explanation of this. It is key to those who remain silent.
Jeff, reporting from CK Central in Phoenix. Today’s headline front page top of the fold in the AZ Republic…”Nation grapples with how to talk about CK’s beliefs” I’m not grappling… if you are grounded in your ethics and morals your not going to grapple discussing some of Charlie’s comments. BTW, some loon congressman wants to make Charlie the 13th Disciple, let MAGA and these mega MAGAs churches explain that comment🤡🤮 Best to All
CK was a Nazi. Full stop.
That's why I cancelled my subscription to the AZ Republic last Nov. As Jeff calls them "worthless scribblers". The "don't tread on me" crowd are a bunch snowflake wusses and wimps.
Agreed Mingo… I had thoughts about cancelling since they fired the 2 progressive editorial writers.. It’s just another USA Today version…
I’ve not read the AZ Republic in 30 years nor do I watch the Barbies on the news shows here. For a city of over 3 million people, you would not believe the level of stupid that resides here.
I believe it. I live in a small HOA in east Mesa and probably one third of the residents are functionally illiterate.
I’m in Vistancia, most are mega MAGA. Citing facts evidence and law does not work with these folks.
I’ve visited Vistancia several times- it’s a golf centered community with all the red neck republicons in charge.
There was nothing Charlie Kirk hated more than the teachings of Jesus. The counterfeit "Christ" he worshipped was thoroughly antichrist.
Jeff, I sincerely wish we could organize a complete boycott of both Disneyland and Disneyworld for 30 days, no exceptions. The CEO of Target was fired for lost sales during to shit nning their DEI program. Can you imagine what a 30-day boycott would cost Iger!
Ceo of target was NOT canned, he was only removed from that position and still retains his seat on their board. Still not shopping there and probably won’t again!
Same. There are so many shops that I boycott. I'm reduced to shopping at TraderJoe's and Aldi. They are German. Free speech exists in the Former Nazi country. They learned their lesson. It's sad that we are forced to learn it here in America.
I quit shopping at Target when they took children's t-shirts out of the store because of the message" When I grow up, I want to be President." They were pink - in the girls department. Then they decided they could not honor doctor prescriptions for Birth Control Pills. That was in the 1990's. My children (55 & 59) will not shop there because of those two actions, but my Republican Sister-in-law does. She does not want a woman for President. . .Because of course she doesn't!
I remember that!! Yeah I avoided them for a long time after that too!
Except I’m sure his golden parachute was more than my entire household will make in a lifetime.
More than your entire household will make in ten or even a humdred lifetimes! 😖
Don't forget all of their subsidiaries and streaming services.
Disney owns ABC, Hulu, ESPN, and a whole host of other entertainment services that you probably don't need to be paying for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_the_Walt_Disney_Company
Look at Tesla. They still have boycotts and demonstrations.
‘the easy way or the hard way’? 😳 We're there...all the way inside fascism.
So....now what? I've never done this before ... time for a national strike? Or?
I'm gutted this morning-I mean, what's next?
The best part of all this was the outrageously stupid hat and the memes. 😂😂
Jimmy Kimmel will (hopefully) find a spot like Colbert did.
Is it possible Melania has gravitated to these ridiculous overwhelming hats, to hide her face, when her bumbling moronic husband, inevitably makes a fool of himself?
Stupidity always rises to the top, in these “meetings”
trump is incapable of talking about any subject, except himself!
I think she uses those hats by tilting her head down to shield herself from the gases emanating from the loaded diaper fartfactory.
David, I believe she was afraid to see somebody she blew on Epstein island because that’s how we say Epstein again is tied up by everything you can imagine.
💯Which is why she and tRUMP are still “married” She’s the keeper and participant of many secrets contained in the Epstein Files
Pity the King and Queen!
The King of England and his ugly consort unctuously lavishing honor on Trump and his floor lamp must be making his mother spin in her crypt. This has to be for a deal related to Andrew.
ABSOLUTELY! Release the Epstein Files UNREDACTED.
"his floor lamp". 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe it’s a body double? Has anybody seen her squinty-eyed face since they’ve been there?
These large brim hats keep Preznut from getting close to kissing her. Worked well on January 20th!!
She might have added a silk flower of some kind...less funeralish.
My take on the hat was she (POS) didn’t want to be seen with him (he must’ve missed a payment). It won’t be long before Rubio has a similar look.
I’d give almost anything to see Lil Marco in a hat like that.
Rubio! Yes! 😂😂😂
That would be fucking hilarious. A dunce hat would be more fitting.😂😂
Yes Susan, it's time for a national strike. Start small, work our way up. I've started. Anybody else? Suggestions?
I'm open... something has to give.
I'd like to strike them repeatedly.😂😂

THANK YOU! I just restacked it. Excellent information.
That's Mob shit. Classic protection racket!
Not that any of those assoles at the FCC care to look, but Jimmy's Thread about CK's death was very kind, honest, joke-free, and 100% more heartfelt than anything that ever fell out of trump's mouth over his supposed friend. Maybe Jimmy can cut and paste that and send it to Kirk's family for the alleged apology he now has to send.
We're off the edge of the map. People are getting fired right and left for not being sad enough over a racist homophobe who was allowed to spew his hate across the country AS HIS JOB but now that 1st Amendment is getting shredded in his name. I'd say make it make sense but nothing does anymore.
As Jonathan Last reminded us - almost exactly a year ago, at the one and only Presidential debate, Donald Trump declared that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio were eating their neighbors cats and dogs. "They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country , and it's a shame. That was false. Totally untrue.
Last went on to remind us that 7 days later, JD Vance went on CNN and admitted that the story was a lie. And he justified his deception as part of a greater mission: The American media ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, that's what I'm going to do.
So let's all ask Brendan Carr where the hell he was when Donald Trump and JD Vance were telling outright falsehoods about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio on the network media.
Hey listen……hate made him the multi millionaire he was! Hate sells in America!
Our elections are proof of it! God help us all!
We cannot depend on the Democrats, we can only depend on ourselves!
Protest and contribute, to organizations that are truly fighting fascism, like CREW!
My daughter says the two wings of Government are on the same bird!
I didn’t believe her for years…..I do now!

Melania's hat reminds me of spy vs spy from Mad Magazine. Except, where's the spy in white when we need him?
I was thinking the Hamburglar, but yeah. Spy vs Spy.
That works, too.
Yes!😀
That’s it ! If the FSB are playing spot the visual trope games. We all know she is a spy but who, in the photograph, is the other one ? Starmer has boasted about working with UK Intelligence during his time in Northern Ireland…

First, to those on Liar, Fraud, Con, Grifter, Convicted-felon Trump’s Team of Threatening Psycho-Sycophants, I take seriously your threats to take away my rights under the First Amendment; my rights to voice my opinion and to protest in a peaceful, non-violent, non-threatening manner.
Second, to Liar Trump, Psycho Bondi, Psycho Blanche, Psycho Miller, Psycho Hegseth (and others in similar positions in Fraud Trump’s administration) my full and truthful disclaimer: I am not part of any group, association or network. I am a citizen of these United States acting purely on his own. I’ve not been radicalized by anyone; my opinions are based on common sense – that our country elected to the highest office in the land, a person who is pure and utter scum, a person who is our nation’s Presidential Accident & Disgrace. Our nation’s divider-in-chief, a person who constantly lies to the American People, a person who has filled his administration with incompetent, equally divisive, god-damn fucking morons/goons.
As to Charlie Kirk, a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, “Thoughts & Prayers.” As to our Second Amendment, I do believe that our Founding Fathers never envisioned the invention of automatic weapons, weapons capable of slaughtering hundreds of innocent schoolchildren in a fraction of time. How about our elected officials enact common-sense gun control laws.
President Donald J Trump will go down in history as the Worst. President. Ever., a shitstain on, and embarrassment to, the United States of America.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
PERFECT!! YOU CAN ADD MY NAME!!
Nicely said
The double standard that the MAGAts have forced on America continues to get even more egregious. Murder of State Rep. Hortman and her husband by an anti-choice Trump supporter, leaving their children orphans? Not one fucking word of condemnation or even condolences from the right. Not one. Murder of Kirk by the scion of republican gun lovers? MAGA smears the left with blame (and without proof), paints him a hero, awards him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, flags at half staff, and now Bondi wants to prosecute a Home Depot employee for not producing flyers celebrating this racist anti-woman homophobe. Remember when the right absolutely backed that Xtian baker in CO for refusing to bake a wedding cake for that same sex couple? Because FREEDUMB. So different now when the shoe’s on the other foot. Fucking fascists
I just canceled my subscription to Disney+/Hulu and let them know that it was in protest against their assault on the First Amendment. They have to be hit where it hurts - in the pocketbook,
PSA re Disney/Hulu: if you plan to cancel your service, be sure to also go into the privacy settings and follow the ridiculous rigamarole necessary to actually delete your entire account.
Otherwise they will merely pause your subscription but retain your data, and be able to claim that you are an account holder. (to advertisers, investors etc.)
I never really used Hulu but did sign up for it a few years ago for a specific thing, and was aghast last night to find that while my paid subscription had been canceled, they still had me as a member.
Democracy dies through cowardice
I've never lost a 1st Amendment case, or a jury trial, in 30 years. I'd represent Kimmel for free just to get these morons under oath.
