by the way, if you don't hear from me tomorrow morning, that means that I lost power during the big-ass blizzard we're going to get. don't worry, I've got plenty of food and firewood, as well as neighbors with generators who are willing to let me crash, if the situation requires it
That Sharpie is still recovering from Donnie using it to draw a Happy Birthday Jeffrey picture of an underage naked teen who’s just beginning to acquire secondary sex characteristics
Agree. I keep hoping the next hurricane in Florida is tiny but powerful and makes a direct hit solely on Mar-A-Lago. Preferably while Trump is in the middle of "dancing" to YMCA.
I hear you! I’m in the northern L.P. But still don’t bother shoveling out the front door in the winter. Snows up to my knees on the flat, plowed up over my head. I hate winter!
So many good ones, but I can't afford more than the half dozen I have. This one is one of the essentials though, right after Block Club Chicago (hometown) and The Rooster (Ohio politics), which has been breaking national Wexler/Epstein stories.
I do have one advantage. I don’t live in the US currently so am not dealing with all the expenses I would have had if I had stayed. Frees up funds so I can support informative writing and good campaigns.
Stay safe, Jeff. It’s just raining here at the Jersey shore right now, but it’s supposed up switch to snow later. I’m not leaving the house. I may not even get out of my PJs.
It's lovely here in Cleveland, coldish but with a light snow cover. I work at home on Sundays, and have time to hang with my cats and read. I have plenty of hot tea, hot soup and chocolate.
Oh shut up. I'm finally getting used to New England after living most of my life in Manhattan Beach and Santa Cruz. When my mother passed away this last December in Stockton, we lost not only the greatest mom/grandma, but also our last California vacation home in the hills above Santa Cruz. I'm now doomed 🙃
I used to live in Manhattan Beach in the early '80s. It was a 208 sq ft bootleg apartment below the rear guest house on a beachfront lot. I think it was originally a garden shed/closet. But hey, it *was* the beach.
Ever go to the 2nd Street Cafe in Redondo for banana pancakes? A good friend from Chicago lived in Redondo in the late ‘70s-early ‘80s, worked at TRW’s environmental systems division. Saint Ronnie’s EPA killed its single contract.
I never lived in the South Bay when I was out there. Long Beach for several years. Then Orange, behind The Curtain, which now has gaping holes. Family reasons brought me back to Chicago.
My great-grandmother had a house in Santa Cruz less than a block from Seabright Beach. When she died (I was two, never met her) my grandfather, living in Pittsburgh at the time, decided that managing a house out in California would be too much trouble, and sold it for $10,000.
When I was in Los Gatos walking with a couple friends it was about 50 and drizzling, and the Californian complained "If only it weren't so cold and wet."
I said, "I'm from Michigan. This is not cold."
My other buddy said "I'm from Oregon. This is not wet."
and here in CANADA I'm planting potatoes - old shriveled things from the back of the fridge, and into the frigid ground, BUT... (this is the moderate southwest corner of BC, not typical)
The true story here is that the orange shit stain is not golfing on a weekend!
That alone speaks of his health problems but when they say he is in the WH and Melanoma is there with him then I’m thinking an end of days scenario.
Of course they’re probably Lying about the Slovenian slut being there. Or her plane couldn’t fly her back home to New York because of the blizzard.
Which brings me to How much are we spending on her because she refuses to live with her husband? Planes, Secret Service protection and everything else.
Remember that completely charming story of Ivanka and Jared making their Secret Service detail walk blocks to use a bathroom in the middle of the night,in the freezing cold?? That was special.
Have no fear, Greenland. If Donnie keeps that ship pointed East toward the morning sun, South toward the midday sun and West toward the setting sun, that ship from Louisiana will never come within 3,000 miles of Greenland
Oh I didn't think of that. OMG. Denmark should not let that ship dock. That totally could happen, Trumps flunkies have no imagination and may very well go with something tried and true.
Hillary and Bill Clinton, as well as Subodh Chandra, a wonderful lawyer I know in Cleveland who works on behalf of free, fair elections and against voter suppression tactics. (He also represents Tamir Rice's mother, Samaria, a case I take very personally.) However, it also produced Josh Hawley, who is hellbent on stripping women of their human rights.
I think we should breathe a side of relief today that Vance visited a Pope and the pope survived. Since Leo is an American, he would know about the long tradition here of religious authorities being used by a politician, and of the too-frequently-ignored concept of separation of church and state. But going to Lampedusa instead is the chef's kiss.
Too bad for MAGA the new Pope is an American who apparently has a very strong moral conviction. Maybe it would've worked better for them if the Pope was not so familiar with MAGA hate
I read an article that the young pro men/anti women Nick Fuentes followers dislike Vance. They think he's soft and not "masculine" enough AND he has a brown wife and children.
This is why I'm so much less panicked about the possibility of a JD Vance presidency than some Democrats are. He just doesn't have that big, tough, macho thing MAGAs imagine they see in Trump. He doesn't really appeal to anyone.
I think that's a widespread opinion about Vance. MAGAs are laser-focused on a single person whom they've imagined into heroic stature. This is why I'm somewhat optimistic about our chances of flipping Ohio this November. The GOP ticket is topped by a brown-skinned Hindu vegan with a "funny name," running for governor. My thinking is that could de-motivate MAGAs from turning out. I hate thinking this way because I believe we need to improve voter turnout in every election, but if I can't change their minds, oh well.
Donnie is so irretrievably shitty he can't even manage a simple 'thank you' to the governments of Greenland and Denmark for rescuing a sick US service member. Instead, we get this fever-swamp AI BS pretending that Greenland is some primitive land still sacrificing to the gods to cure their sick. And the freaking corporate media treats this crap like it's perfectly normal.
Amazing, ain't it? We can see Donnie's dementia accelerating in real time, but nobody in the media says a word. Not even Jake Tapper who had so much to say about much less regarding Joe Biden he wrote a whole freaking book about it. But now? Crickets........
Whether or not he is, he's being controlled by Musk, Thiel and Bondi.
Big tech billionaires want the rare earth metals underneath the ICE in Greenland. And is their puppet so he must take Greenland. What a fucking nightmare.
I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but it is hard not to think the end is getting closer for Cankles. Whether it be dementia that even his sycophants can't ignore, or a lard-induced stroke.
Do you really think they will tell us if he does? These are people who cannot tell the truth nor participate in reality. And spineless Congress has not stood up to them. I could see them "Weekend at Bernie's" us until he would've been 150 years old!
They will mummify him and sit him in a chair. It will be like the character John Gill on the planet Ekos visited by Kirk and Spock in TOS. Patterns of Force is the episode.
Once we get past this mess, we've got to make major changes to make sure this never happens again, including psych evaluations to preclude psychopaths and other mentally ill persons from obtaining positions of power. Also, overturn Citizens United, which has led to the destruction of America.
First, Money out of politics. Strong laws against bribing the President, he must make visible all his and his family's bank accounts and tax returns. And a stronger Congress. More checks on the presidency.
In fact, so easy I can tell you what it is without looking: a constitutional amendment that simply says "Corporations are not people and money is not speech." That would destroy the entire basis of Citizens United.
As a reply to this ship to Greenland bullshit, I saw an AI-generated ship with the Danish flag heading to the US, with the perfect ship name: Mental Health! Blessed are the meme creators indeed...
If only Trump were as clever as Dr.Evil, he could sneak up to Greenland in his underwater lair currently inside the mouth of a dormant volcano. Then he can destroy it unless Denmark pays 15 bigillion dollars.
Or maybe he’s more like Goldmember. It’s complicated.
Greenland's response was priceless, though. Reminds me of the scene with the French knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, paraphrasing: 'Hospital? No thanks, we already got one!'
Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg and other tech billionaires want access to the rare earth metals under the ice in Greenland. They bought Trump and now they want a return on that investment.
We all think that when they visited him after the election, that they bent the knee. It was the opposite. They went there to remind him who put him there.
Agreed! Especially when we get both our favorite skateboard to the nuts meme and the throw back our heads in laughter meme! I look forward to Jeff’s clever and lively posts every day (but I understand if he needs a day off once in a while).
Also,Jeff, ever since I came to Substack I’ve followed you and your articles and they are everything!!! Your style cracks me up while telling the news…a breath of fresh air!!!
Is it just me or is anyone incredulous that we only have *two* hospital ships, and they're both out of commission at the same time? Sounds like some knuckleheaded lack of planning, all around.
by the way, if you don't hear from me tomorrow morning, that means that I lost power during the big-ass blizzard we're going to get. don't worry, I've got plenty of food and firewood, as well as neighbors with generators who are willing to let me crash, if the situation requires it
I keep hoping and praying for a bomb cyclone to descend on Mierda Lardo but so far nuthin'. Shit.
I sent out a memo to Iran with coordinates
A hurricane, and then we can see if Trump's Sharpie can still defect a storm.
That Sharpie is still recovering from Donnie using it to draw a Happy Birthday Jeffrey picture of an underage naked teen who’s just beginning to acquire secondary sex characteristics
"Mierda Lardo" 🏆
It only works in his addled mind
You mean Adderalled mind
Both?
Good one!
Agree. I keep hoping the next hurricane in Florida is tiny but powerful and makes a direct hit solely on Mar-A-Lago. Preferably while Trump is in the middle of "dancing" to YMCA.
Love the name for Mar-A-Lago! I've been calling it Mar-A-Taco.😁
Mar a LARDO! 😂
Merde-A-A-hole
Plus . . . 25th Amendment.
Plus . . . Stay the fuck out of Greenland.
Plus . . . Stay the fuck off the public golf course.
Also a great name for it!😁
Mierda Loco
They're probably stocked up on hamberders and Adderall.
Like your use of the Mierda Lardo designation, Doc. Worked on it for a while.
Shit and fat. Apropos for him
Stay safe Jeff—-and all in the path of this big-ass blizzard!❤️
I’m jealous, Jeff. Up here in northern Minnesota, we haven’t had a meaningful snow storm in more than three years.
Just ICE storms.
Bazinga!!
I live in Colorado and we’ve had two snow “storms” this winter. Wasn’t even enough to shovel. Fire season is going to be nasty.
Same in Montana. I've walked the dog in short sleeves most days in January and February. Fire season will be bad.
Same! From NAZ! We are going to have a terrible fire season, too.
Move to the U.P. It will be May before the snowbanks surrounding my house allow me to see out the windows....
I used to live there! Couldnʻt use the front door from November to April!
I would not like that one bit!😳
Probably has a lot to do with why you live where you are now!
No traffic in town in the winter at all--except for the snowmobiles.
Nope. Have to keep a snow shovel inside the door to dig my way out!
Hi Linda. What is the “U.P.”? Upper Peninsula? University of Pakistan?
The UP is the Upper Peninsula in Michigan.🙂
What Megan said...
I hear you! I’m in the northern L.P. But still don’t bother shoveling out the front door in the winter. Snows up to my knees on the flat, plowed up over my head. I hate winter!
Same here in Wisconsin!
Here in Maine, we haven’t seen the ground since November. I’m way over my shoveling quota for the season.
You can most definitely have ours. I’m in NJ
Stay safe and warm Jeff! I’m finally able to comment after a year because of my subscription!!!
Couldn't afford subscriptions to all the substacks I read, but this one is a necessity. :)
Same here. Did a recount yesterday and saw I’m up to 11! Jeff Tiedrich and Celia Rivenbark here are MEDICINE though and better for us than booze.
So many good ones, but I can't afford more than the half dozen I have. This one is one of the essentials though, right after Block Club Chicago (hometown) and The Rooster (Ohio politics), which has been breaking national Wexler/Epstein stories.
I do have one advantage. I don’t live in the US currently so am not dealing with all the expenses I would have had if I had stayed. Frees up funds so I can support informative writing and good campaigns.
What climate change? Uncle Jeff, run out and get yourself some of that clean coal.
hahaha!!
Stay safe, Jeff. It’s just raining here at the Jersey shore right now, but it’s supposed up switch to snow later. I’m not leaving the house. I may not even get out of my PJs.
It's lovely here in Cleveland, coldish but with a light snow cover. I work at home on Sundays, and have time to hang with my cats and read. I have plenty of hot tea, hot soup and chocolate.
I'm kinda looking forward to being Buried in Boston. It's nice and quiet when that happens, and man, do I need quiet!
I feel the same... soups are made, beers in the fridge, books at the ready here in Philly.
Susan, beer and books; I'm in!!
Might throw some popcorn in the mix. 😂✌️
oh yes!!! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Just ran out for milk. By tomorrow I'll be Snowed-in in Somerville.
75°F here today, supposed to be 80°F tomorrow. It's another brutal SoCal winter 😎
Oh shut up. I'm finally getting used to New England after living most of my life in Manhattan Beach and Santa Cruz. When my mother passed away this last December in Stockton, we lost not only the greatest mom/grandma, but also our last California vacation home in the hills above Santa Cruz. I'm now doomed 🙃
I love the area around Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay and Big Sur.
I used to live in Manhattan Beach in the early '80s. It was a 208 sq ft bootleg apartment below the rear guest house on a beachfront lot. I think it was originally a garden shed/closet. But hey, it *was* the beach.
Ever go to the 2nd Street Cafe in Redondo for banana pancakes? A good friend from Chicago lived in Redondo in the late ‘70s-early ‘80s, worked at TRW’s environmental systems division. Saint Ronnie’s EPA killed its single contract.
Never went there. My go-tos were Uncle Bill's on Highland, El Tarasco on Rosecrans, and Tomboy's on MB Bl. They're all still there 🥞🌮🌯🍔
I never lived in the South Bay when I was out there. Long Beach for several years. Then Orange, behind The Curtain, which now has gaping holes. Family reasons brought me back to Chicago.
My great-grandmother had a house in Santa Cruz less than a block from Seabright Beach. When she died (I was two, never met her) my grandfather, living in Pittsburgh at the time, decided that managing a house out in California would be too much trouble, and sold it for $10,000.
$10k probably wouldn't even cover the property tax bill for 6 months on that house today
If you were trying to make us jealous, congrats, it worked. 😉
It got so cold here in South Florida a couple of weekends ago we had to shut off our AC.
Yep, so cold I had to put on a long sleeved shirt.
OTOH, come June when hurricane prep season hits, I start to regret living in a snowless area.
I couldn't even wear shorts for 2 days last week!
In San Diego the natives break out the gloves,beanies and big down coats...when it's 60 degrees.
When I was in Los Gatos walking with a couple friends it was about 50 and drizzling, and the Californian complained "If only it weren't so cold and wet."
I said, "I'm from Michigan. This is not cold."
My other buddy said "I'm from Oregon. This is not wet."
This is how we get kilt, saying stuff like that. Isn't Palm Springs glorious if a bit cool this time of year?
"A bit cool" in Palm Springs = Shorts Weather in WI
On the other hand, we don't have mudslides and "fire season."
We have four seasons here: Fire, mudslide, earthquake, and drought
In this city so fair
Only four things to beware,
The fire, the water, the earth, and the air
I'ma keeping my mouth shut
and here in CANADA I'm planting potatoes - old shriveled things from the back of the fridge, and into the frigid ground, BUT... (this is the moderate southwest corner of BC, not typical)
We're supposed to reach 90° by next weekend here in Tucson. Sigh.
In San Diego...I haven't worn long pants in probably a year,if at all.
NWS says we're getting 14-22". TWC says 9". Adding up the hourly estimates from TWC yields 1.02". I'm ready!!!
Stay safe!
Stay safe and warm Jeff! 🤗
Stay safe and warm!
Stay warm, Jeff!
Holy hell. WTF can we do? Oh yah IMPEACH THE MF!
Good luck, Jeff; I hate that expression "stay warm" or I'd say it.
Did you say giant lizards??!?!?😱😱🥶😂😂😂
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit —
"Man Is Fatally Shot at Mar-a-Lago, Secret Service Says"
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/us/politics/mar-a-lago-shooting-secret-service.html
ugh, no one should be trying to do this.
Kinda like "the UN escalator stoppage was on purpose" and the whole bullet to the ear thing
The true story here is that the orange shit stain is not golfing on a weekend!

Pisses me off
Waste, fraud, and abuse. That’s what they are all about. It’s what they do.
Remember that completely charming story of Ivanka and Jared making their Secret Service detail walk blocks to use a bathroom in the middle of the night,in the freezing cold?? That was special.
You can follow the Trump Golf Tracker here: https://didtrumpgolftoday.com
She's the least of our problems.
Sorry not sorry my first reaction is that this too is made up, ala the guy on the FL golf course.
unfortunately this patsy didn’t survive the pantomime.
He was probably going after the other ear.
"FBI Director Kash Patel said that the bureau would be “dedicating all necessary resources” to the investigation"
But Renee Good or Alex Pretti? Oh no, we don't have time for that kind of nonsense.
Yeah, they didnt need to investigate. There was many videos that showed what happened. Unarmed citizens have no protection from the government goons.
But first...NAPTIME!!!
Keep warm…time to get a generator, Jeff!
Shit. Paywall.
Google it. The story is reported elsewhere.
https://apnews.com/article/secret-service-president-trump-af8b23c318e2d7709d7b4a0105f8f516
Trump is probably already sporting an ear tampon.
Also: if you're using an Edge browser: at the right end of the address bar, there's a circle with three dots. Click it and select "Immersive Reder".
That will display the story text w/o the paywall.
NO one should be trying to do this.
A special kind of stupid thing.
Can’t blame him, tho.
Poor guy.
Don't get excited,false alarm,it wasn't him,I clicked on the article,but when I realized it was the NYT,I ran for my life.
So is he “sending hospital ships” out of “care” ….or…. Are the hospital ships full of measles or smallpox infected blankets?
My Native American ancestry has me a bit biased….
Good thinking. I'd be very suspicious if I were a Greenlander
Have no fear, Greenland. If Donnie keeps that ship pointed East toward the morning sun, South toward the midday sun and West toward the setting sun, that ship from Louisiana will never come within 3,000 miles of Greenland
Could be his “plan” to remove pesky native people off their own land. Nothing can be put past their fascist murderers.
Thiel and Musk, 2 immigrants from Africa, both want access to the rare earth minerals under the ice in Greenland.
I was thinking Trojan Horse hospital ship. Your idea, Unity in Defiance, seems more plausible.
I hate how unoriginal they are with every single fascist plan—which makes this theory more than plausible.
do you suppose Hegseth will be smart enough to send an icebreaker along with this unneeded 'Hospital ship'?
or will they need to beg for help when they get there?
Instead of an icebreaker he’ll equip that ship with his skateboard, The Ballbreaker
Touche!
They were defeated by the 2 dogsleds...so now are sending a ghost ship... pretty scary,huh kids?
Oh I didn't think of that. OMG. Denmark should not let that ship dock. That totally could happen, Trumps flunkies have no imagination and may very well go with something tried and true.
Don't worry,the ship was sent UP the Mississippi...
And its source is Northern MN. So the poor folks there are going to be invaded by the Govt.....again.
Ha! I was just getting ready to post the same thing!!
Great minds think alike my friend!
Obviously "devout" Catholic J(uicy) D(ivan) Vance must hate having such a woke Pope who won't go along with the MAGA cosplay. Boo hoo.
I get the sense that this Pope doesn’t suffer fools gladly… I wonder when he’ll excommunicate the couch molester?
I want Yale Law School to revoke his degree for making stupid statements that a first year law student would know are wrong.
Yale has much to answer for.
Brett "I love beer!" Kavanaugh
Both of the Bush preznits, Alito and Thomas. To be honest, there are some good people among their grads as well.
Hillary and Bill Clinton, as well as Subodh Chandra, a wonderful lawyer I know in Cleveland who works on behalf of free, fair elections and against voter suppression tactics. (He also represents Tamir Rice's mother, Samaria, a case I take very personally.) However, it also produced Josh Hawley, who is hellbent on stripping women of their human rights.
I think we should breathe a side of relief today that Vance visited a Pope and the pope survived. Since Leo is an American, he would know about the long tradition here of religious authorities being used by a politician, and of the too-frequently-ignored concept of separation of church and state. But going to Lampedusa instead is the chef's kiss.
Too bad for MAGA the new Pope is an American who apparently has a very strong moral conviction. Maybe it would've worked better for them if the Pope was not so familiar with MAGA hate
Likely this Pope isn't in the Epstein files.
I hope so. JD can attend the white nationalist church that Kegsbreath attends.
Is it Catholic? BTW, Vance's wife is East Indian. Is she also Catholic?
She's Hindu which JD has openly said he wants to change.
she isn't, but I'd seen somewhere that JD is trying to get her to convert
https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/21/world/jd-vance-wife-india-religion-debate-hnk-dst
I doubt the Pope wants to give him that much personal attention and allow him to posture as aggrieved.
Soooo, that’s what “woke” means!
Compassionate. . .empathetic. . .”aligned with the values” inmplied in the parable of the Good Samaritan.
I read an article that the young pro men/anti women Nick Fuentes followers dislike Vance. They think he's soft and not "masculine" enough AND he has a brown wife and children.
One thing we can all agree on: Vance sucks. Different reasons, obviously, but same conclusion.
This is why I'm so much less panicked about the possibility of a JD Vance presidency than some Democrats are. He just doesn't have that big, tough, macho thing MAGAs imagine they see in Trump. He doesn't really appeal to anyone.
I read the incels think he is soft and pudgy, ie effeminate.
I think that's a widespread opinion about Vance. MAGAs are laser-focused on a single person whom they've imagined into heroic stature. This is why I'm somewhat optimistic about our chances of flipping Ohio this November. The GOP ticket is topped by a brown-skinned Hindu vegan with a "funny name," running for governor. My thinking is that could de-motivate MAGAs from turning out. I hate thinking this way because I believe we need to improve voter turnout in every election, but if I can't change their minds, oh well.
That's according to his Grindr profile.
At this point I'd expect JD to arrive home to the wife and kids..and they'd boo him.
Donnie is so irretrievably shitty he can't even manage a simple 'thank you' to the governments of Greenland and Denmark for rescuing a sick US service member. Instead, we get this fever-swamp AI BS pretending that Greenland is some primitive land still sacrificing to the gods to cure their sick. And the freaking corporate media treats this crap like it's perfectly normal.
the challenge goes unanswered...
I think it's more of his confabulation. His cognitive failings are dangerous, but the Repubs will not do anything, and the media sanewashes it.
Amazing, ain't it? We can see Donnie's dementia accelerating in real time, but nobody in the media says a word. Not even Jake Tapper who had so much to say about much less regarding Joe Biden he wrote a whole freaking book about it. But now? Crickets........
He's a walking lobotomy crime
And his family's infested with slime
It's making me sick
As I watch the clock tick
WHEN WILL THEY SERVE PRISON TIME?!
Feel free to subscribe to my Substack for political limericks, poems, song parodies and a healthy dose of vehemence....
Here's an A I ship
I'm sending it to Greenland
Where's my pudding cup?
Imaginary
ship will give the same type care
Non-existent aid
That is awesome.
Haiku! Excellent!
'Places Cheetolini can't point out on a map for $500 Alex'
Excellent!
There's never been a "president" like him
Who can make up crazy BS on a whim
His mind's in absentia
From full-blown dementia
For the whole world this is quite grim
Absentia/dementia 🤌
Whether or not he is, he's being controlled by Musk, Thiel and Bondi.
Big tech billionaires want the rare earth metals underneath the ICE in Greenland. And is their puppet so he must take Greenland. What a fucking nightmare.
👏👏👏👏
Absentia dementia is excellently done.
Huzzah!!!
👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏
I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but it is hard not to think the end is getting closer for Cankles. Whether it be dementia that even his sycophants can't ignore, or a lard-induced stroke.
From your keyboard to God's eyes!
Do you really think they will tell us if he does? These are people who cannot tell the truth nor participate in reality. And spineless Congress has not stood up to them. I could see them "Weekend at Bernie's" us until he would've been 150 years old!
Collapsing on live TV this Tuesday would be ideal
Why wait? Sunday before midnight is open.
I’m still pulling for the tumble from the top of the AF One stairway, face planting the sharp edge of every step on his way down.
Debating with my sister in law on how many weeks we want him in extensive care before shuffling off this mortal coil.
Shitting himself at the SOTU would be hysterical.
They will mummify him and sit him in a chair. It will be like the character John Gill on the planet Ekos visited by Kirk and Spock in TOS. Patterns of Force is the episode.
I live in hope.
"Cankles" 🏆
I'm almost hoping he shits himself at the SOTU Tuesday.
Keep sending those Happy Meals to the White House!
Once we get past this mess, we've got to make major changes to make sure this never happens again, including psych evaluations to preclude psychopaths and other mentally ill persons from obtaining positions of power. Also, overturn Citizens United, which has led to the destruction of America.
I agree, Michael. We the People have A LOT of work to do!
First, Money out of politics. Strong laws against bribing the President, he must make visible all his and his family's bank accounts and tax returns. And a stronger Congress. More checks on the presidency.
the checks on the presidency don't work when a majority in Congress and SCOTUS are complicit and corruptible
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS!!! The Founders assumed people would have morals,shame and conscience...no longer.
Yes and no fucking felons in office.Period.Full stop!
Follow the efforts of Move to Amend. It's simple, straightforward and easy to understand: https://www.movetoamend.org/codirectors
In fact, so easy I can tell you what it is without looking: a constitutional amendment that simply says "Corporations are not people and money is not speech." That would destroy the entire basis of Citizens United.
Felons need not apply.
As a reply to this ship to Greenland bullshit, I saw an AI-generated ship with the Danish flag heading to the US, with the perfect ship name: Mental Health! Blessed are the meme creators indeed...
😂😂😂
If only Trump were as clever as Dr.Evil, he could sneak up to Greenland in his underwater lair currently inside the mouth of a dormant volcano. Then he can destroy it unless Denmark pays 15 bigillion dollars.
Or maybe he’s more like Goldmember. It’s complicated.
Greenland's response was priceless, though. Reminds me of the scene with the French knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, paraphrasing: 'Hospital? No thanks, we already got one!'
It's verrry nice!
Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg and other tech billionaires want access to the rare earth metals under the ice in Greenland. They bought Trump and now they want a return on that investment.
We all think that when they visited him after the election, that they bent the knee. It was the opposite. They went there to remind him who put him there.
They expect a return on their investment.
Or "Airplane" -
"A hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building with patients."
"...but that's not important right now."
Let's not go there, it's a silly place.
Their mothers are hamsters and their fathers smell of elderberries.
It's only a model.
😂😂
'My gun is right here!!'
Scott
Thank you dear Jeff! What would we do without you? Best read every day.
Agreed! Especially when we get both our favorite skateboard to the nuts meme and the throw back our heads in laughter meme! I look forward to Jeff’s clever and lively posts every day (but I understand if he needs a day off once in a while).
When I think of hospital ships standing off a coast, I think of land invasions.
Have to add, maybe Trump didn’t know they were both in dry dock? Maybe he was planning on a landing without planning a landing? Who knows? It’s early.
maybe he could ask JD to row over to Greenland in a dinghy
They couldn't defeat the 2 dog sleds...bummer.
Also,Jeff, ever since I came to Substack I’ve followed you and your articles and they are everything!!! Your style cracks me up while telling the news…a breath of fresh air!!!
Welcome aboard Lisa.
Thanks David!
I think I might go to Mass today in solidarity with Pope Leo
I think I might go to mass today too, and I’m not catholic. Da Pope!
If anyone gets me back to church it is Pope Leo. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm a Jewish Unitarian so I think I'll abstain.
Is it just me or is anyone incredulous that we only have *two* hospital ships, and they're both out of commission at the same time? Sounds like some knuckleheaded lack of planning, all around.
But are we REALLY surprised with Kegstand in charge?
Exactly! Who tf let that happen? Do they fall under FEMA/Noem or Defense/Hegsted?
The ships are from Qatar...they're gifts.
More unneeded money for guns, bombs, and missiles
One of the many well-worn right wing dog whistles
As they cut funding for schools
'Cuz they want voters who're fools
While the Weak Man threatens and bristles
This is so on point. 🤬😡💔🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
