I got about halfway through and then all I could think about was watching a fly try to free itself from fly paper. All that struggling and still stuck in the mire. Honey, that tirade couldn't fool a Labrador Retriever, and they have the world's most trusting hearts.
I DO have an instagram account - on my cell. But can't somehow transmit stuff from here (my desktop) TO there, so far prefer watching YouTube videos or direct blue links. Then again, my current computer is literally bumbling along on its last wobbly legs. Last night I couldn't wish my nephew a happy birthday but today all of the messages came through - some from February. I SO DESPISE leavitt (refuse to capitalize this regime's names)...they're scum and she's simply a younger version of kelly-ann conway, the 'alternative facts' liar. By the way, her lifelong-republican/conservative husband George (who really is a quite brilliant attorney), is running now for DEMOCRAT Jerry Nadler's Congressional seat in Brooklyn. Jerry's retiring - and Jack Schlossberg (JFK's grandson, Caroline's son) is also running for the same position. I like Jack, but what are his qualifications other than he is SO dead set against his cousin 'bobby brainworms' and frump? George has SO much experience in dealing with frump;s shitfuckery (given that his ex-wife actually worked for the mook) and his mission seems to be to do anything - even switch to OUR SIDE to get him out of our White House. I like George - a lot. Any thoughts here from anyone who truly knows either of these two guys?
Nancy Cordes from CBS asked Leavitt where Trump got the idea that Iran was going to attack us in three days, when no one else was saying that, and why it changed from three days to a week and back, and Leavitt said it was a “feeling” that Trump had “based on fact.”
Cordes asked her what the hell that meant, and Leavitt got pissy.
C-rations are 'good enough for them' according to that whiny little pissed-off narcissistic druggy/drunk. He's BIG MAD that 'unflattering photos' were taken of him at a presser so they 'disinvited' those who took them to the next two press briefings. LOL Tell me something: HOW does he even manage to GET 'unflattering photos' while having his own makeup room AND all that money to spend making him look 'pretty for the cameras'? Shee-it. Jones Road makeup is amazing -and what I use now. Takes a 'nano-second' to apply (as advertised) and you're off to the races - or shopping, or the library, or dinner. Perhaps IF piss-drunk pete stopped using an entire fucking CAN of hairspray every day he just 'might' look more human instead of resembling a furiously mad goblin?
I speak for us all when I say how pleased I am that you are getting some Adult Female Supervision(TM). I just hope Katie doesn't unduly limit your foul epithets, as that is a prime component of your brand.
Well, if we send boots on the ground, we know all the self-named maga "patriots will be signing up to fight and encouraging their children and grandchildren to enlist. Surely all those good-Christian families standing around the Christmas tree holding assault weapons will be the first in line.
My husband told me about the shoes, and I don't know why, but I couldn't believe it. I really don't why. I don't know why this was just too stupid for me to believe. And that they're wearing the wrong sizes. Every other day I'm checking where to be if you're committed to unaliving by nukes. So yeah. Shoes!
I keep thinking of the movie ,The Dictator. Everyone had to change their underwear every half hour so they must be worn on the OUTSIDE of their pants…. for easy verification. lol
If it was only MAGA or extremists that would perish....plus the whole environmental damage is a total set back for the world's carbon footprint, forget local ecosystems as they tear the fabric of heaven apart. It was telling, the projectile vomit of Lindsey Graham saying what's wrong with spending billions to get rid of a fanatical Nazi religious government? The Man in the mirror is just saying no sir, Lindsey, its you babyface up to hellfire and damnation you have sown. As much as these arrogant, vicious fiends for their self gratification think they are in control to order the sacrifice of our children to the blasphemous God of War, they will sorely meet their dismal fate and lose their heads to justice one day. Judgement is coming to them though they think they are protected. What about that bunker under the missing East Wing? These fools will be lushing in MagaLago when the bombs drop. My wishful thinking is that we could live together in the peace of understanding and provide more practical ways of solving societal problems than killing or incarcerating one another for profit.
Those bombs are pretty hard to hide from. Bury yourselves in your fortress for a very long time .....emerge to ruined earth that is unable to sustain your life. Your rockets you counted on to blast you free and on your way to Mars? Let us count the likely ways that little plan will fall apart immediately. Start adding up your resources and guess what? You are quite short. Nuclear winter has a grip. There is no evidence of life except you and your chosen few. Silence is the response. It's a nice fantasy on paper, one I'm sure the very wealthy are investing in. After the immediate issues you face on first emerging come the longer term problems. Suddenly science looks very good. Disease prevention and treatment are priorities. How about children?
I'll stop here, there's not a lot of good to look forward to in this view. This isn't very accurate and is probably optimistic.
And on top of it all these spineless rocket scientists don't even get to wear decent shoes. It's another bullying tactic by Trump. Daring them to say ANYTHING while actively causing physical discomfort. Not a good look.
more like sign up and if you survive , then you will. be deported. Being a veteran is no insurance against being detained, punished and then deported. They don’t care, they have a quota.
Hahaha, the whole cheap shoe thing is symbolic of this regime. Spineless yes men domineered over by the mad dumbass in charge, who thinks shiny (and of course cheap) shoes are the most important thing. Then the sycophants are too afraid to not wear them or to even go get their own size. Frivolity, cowardice, and stupidity all on display.
That's one of Sshitler's major malfunctions. He is either a bully or a punk ass bitch to those who are more powerful, charismatic, and accomplished than him.
I was coming here to say just that! Trump is obviously out of his mind and destroying the country...who will finally say enough is enough...cause to me, we're way past that.
Because Mamdani is not in the Trump-Epstein Files.
Hey, Marco: how many times does your name show up in the Trump-Epstein Files? I bet you can spend at least $100K of taxpayer money on getting those new clown shoes re-dyed Heinz red.
Nobody's too small time. And Marco sure as hell ain't: he's been in politics, in increasingly more powerful positions, without any actual talent, for nearly 30 years.
Plus, Marco was Holy Brother Mike Johnson before Holy Brother Mike Johnson was.....The master of doing nothing and knowing nothing, all the while pulling in the cash; no actual stance on anything, except when he could pander to the Christian Nationalists or the Cuban exiles (for whom, once upon a time, he used to feign outrage at Russia).
The Shoe Thing is a “ritual humiliation” which a “strongman” periodically inflicts on his underlings to demonstrate his dominance. Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Timothy Snyder explain how Mussolini and Putin have used the technique.
And now we know for sure. It is amazing to watch these guys roll over, sit, speak, stay, fetch. What on earth does he have on these people or what has he "promised" them? A spot on Mars or the moon after this planet is trashed?? Sure.
The US and Israel are rogue nations run by corrupt psycho-sociopaths. The world needs to stop letting itself be held hostage by these terrorists and fight back against them. Trump and Netanyahu are guilty of crimes against humanity and should be arrested. The US and Israel should be sanctioned. Removed from NATO. Arrest warrants for Trump prepared by the ICC for suspected crimes against humanity - Netanyahu already has them.
These two countries are evil, tyranical, lawless and represent a threat to world order, decency, and peace.
I’m hoping all tRump’s appointed traitors who are now living in Military Housing (General’s houses)have to pay for protection from their constituents for the rest of their worthless lives.
Absolutely. And Ohio is doing its best to undermine that with universal, no-income-limit education welfare checks (vouchers) for rich kids to go to elite private schools while reneging on a public school funding bill they passed just four years ago because "we don't have the money." And now they're trying to bully a huge consortium of public school distracts suing, trying to pass a bill that would strip any district of its funding if it joined such a lawsuit. Our way or the highway! Gerrymandering and term limits in action! And Jon Husted is a poster boy for Ohio stupidity. I'm sure his wife does all the grocery shopping and he couldn't find his way around a grocery if his life depended on it. He's been too busy engineering bribes.
Both Geography and Economics have been removed from the mandated curriculum. Sandra Day O'Connor was able to get one day in September declared Constitutional Day nationally but like everything else nobody enforces even this reasonable aspect of History courses. Kids/adults don't know the Atlantic from the Pacific Oceans or where is the Middle East and can't make change without the help of a computer. This insidious reality was a long time coming but here we are.
Ohio, you know what to do: GET THAT GREEDY IDIOT OUT OF OFFICE AS SOON AS YOU LEGALLY CAN. Then investigate him for bribes and other BS. Deep down, I think Ohio voters know that there are no good repugnicans now. NONE.
We are working on it. He's up for retention this November (He was appointed to fill JD Fancypant's seat). You can help by making a donation here to return Sherrod Brown to the Senate in his place: https://www.sherrodbrown.com
100% agree Anastasia! Cannot wait to vote this idiot out of office - thanks DeSwine for nominating this horrible man to the senate. The republicans are all corrupt in Ohio.
Always remember: we, the people, are the architects of it all. Trump's goons didn't forcefully seize power--we elected him to lead us. We support and encourage obscene wealth with every dollar we send to Amazon. We weren't threatened--we did it all enthusiastically. We could have said "no" when it would have made a difference.
I object to the word "WE" as many of us have spent our hard earned money and hours and hours sounding this impending doom. I am not responsible for any of this mayhem.
I did not vote for any of them, either. I make signs. I go to rallies. I am still complicit in this because I have failed to stop it before it got this serious. If you live in this country and are a U.S. citizen, you are, too. We have not done enough--there are no innocent bystanders. Who and what companies have you supported with your $$$ that are behind the grift and corruption and wars?
They sure are! They're so scared of losing their cushy jobs, excellent health insurance and lifetime pensions that they'll do whatever the Moron-in-Chief wants.
Unless they are about to retire. Then they'll speak the truth.
Jeffries has done an incredible job of holding Mikey Johnson's feet to the fire and is a lot of the reason why Mikey is too scared to even have the House in session. We need to stop eating our own.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are NOT to blame. In fact, I look forward to spoon-feeding a lot of people their words when Jeffries takes over as speaker in January and does an amazing job, which he will. I'm more mixed of Schumer, but there is nothing to blame Jeffries on. Our worst failing is we eat our own, based largely on image.
He's already giifted them new MAGA hats in an earlier cabinet meeting. Head-to-toe puppetry. On a side note, I don't believe Rubio wears a size 11. He threw out a big number to sound macho but he's a short little shit and now has to slide around in those gunboats.
At least the MAGAts are going to have a hard time getting around in their new fashion statement: oversized clown shoes. I hope ICE thugs get a shipment they're required to wear.
Husted technically was never elected to his senate seat; he was appointed to finish out JD Vance’s term. I know that means that Ohio did in fact elect JD Vance, which is somewhat worse, but still. Anyways, that clip should be a Sherrod Brown campaign ad, zero editing needed.
All these jackholes who talk about how The Poors (tm) don’t know anything about money drive me nuts. I doubt they have any idea how their own household budget works, they get paid by the government they claim to hate, have top-notch healthcare, get tons in b̶r̶i̶b̶e̶s̶ ̶ campaign contributions.
How many of them have tried living on SNAP benefits? They’ve probably never set foot in a grocery store in their miserable lives.
This is like all those people who claim they were behind a woman in the grocery carrying a Coach purse and buying filet mignon with food stamps, before going out and getting in her Escalade. It's funny how many people were in line behind this woman. I've been behind a lot of people using Ohio Directions cards — I live in a very economically mixed area — but I never saw this one.
There are SHITLOADS of people scamming like that, all over Ohio.
I once saw this dude sitting at a major intersection here, all scruffy & filthy, w/ his sign saying "Disabled, homeless, out of work. Please help." When he finished his "shift", his wife pulled into the parking lot - IN THEIR BEEMER - & SHE took over, while he drove home. Saw it w/ my own eyes.
Back in my radio news days, we used to call people like him, "a Mutt in an Airedale Suit".
Little yappy mutts hide behind the Big Mean Dog, acting like they're tough & that they actually MATTER. But, the second the Big Mean Dog goes away, he either tucks his tail under his ass & runs away, OR nobody takes him seriously, & he gets ignored, & even SHUNNED.
Some people say they're afraid of what would happen if BOWMAN became prez. Pssssh....I think he'll end up under the bus, along w/ #Bumblefuck. I mean, does ANYONE take this flaming shitheel seriously?
Lindsey Graham: “...what’s it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime?”
Talk about having absolutely no idea what you're saying, Miss Lindsey... You mean like Rapture Happy Christians running the military and government and being fascists...
I've tried explaining that to some MAGA men, but they can't begin to comprehend something that doesn't affect them or any of the womenfolk they personally know.
You need 2/3 of the House to impeach him and then the Senate has its say so. Watching paint dry goes faster. The FASTEST way would be to round them up and drop them in an oilfield in Iran.
Alligator Auschwitz. It's much more accurate because Alcatraz had to meet standards to avoid being called cruel and unusual punishment. The Trump regime has no such standards, as I'm sure you already know.
The Alcatraz name was stuck on it by THEM. THEY EVEN HAVE ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ ROAD SIGNS on Interstate 75. I refuse to use their words for what they're calling it.
It's Alligator Auschwitz or "that concentration camp in the Everglades". Alcatraz was never a concentration camp. It was a place where people were sent AFTER DUE PROCESS and deemed to be the worst of the worst convicts.
Is the concentration camp in the Everglades holding those convicted and deemed by the legal system to be the worst of the worst?
The people in Auschwitz were never given due process and NEITHER ARE THOSE who are thrown in Alligator AUSCHWITZ.
And the one in Texas? I'm calling that Desert Dachau.
Or maybe this was Miss Lindsey's try at "blink twice if you need to be rescued" --because, indeed: what's it worth to normal Americans to take down this religious Nazi regime....the one that's much, much closer than Iran. In fact, it IS in the room with us right now.
From this day forward everytime one of these Republican shit birds mentions waste, fraud and abuse we need to throw Whiskey Pete's luxury spending spree in their fugly faces. Republicans know that waste, fraud and abuse exist the same way they know voter fraud exists - they do it. And since they do it, they believe everyone else does too. Fuck them, I'm tired of it.
The only good thing I can see coming out of this war on Iran is that oil will take a backseat to green energy again only this time green energy has a really good head start. Have I lost my mind now?
Still relying on stuff we pump and dig out of the ground at great risk to both the environment and the human lives needed to extract it when wind and sun are available is so friggin' stupid. Why would anyone with reasoning ability think this is a good idea??
In answer to your question, unfortunately yes you have. I've encountered it myself, people so tied to their political dogma that they deny what is plainly in their best interest.
I dunno. Is that still relevant to the national dialogue? Seems so ephemeral, lost in the shuffle. A causality of satire being unable to match pace with reality.
and because Daughter Katie is in the house, today's post actually got proofread by someone who isn't me. you're welcome, America
Katie - I’m so sorry for your loss. We all send our sincere condolences to you and your dad. He is the best.
Well done Katie! 😊
Thx Katie‼️
I’m glad that your daughter is with you!
Me too! Enjoy every second.
Great job, Katie!
Thank you for your attention in this matter!!
Thanks Katie. Dad Jeff is still a keeper.
A++!

Great post today. I hope Katie enjoyed it as much as all of us do.
Well done, DK.
Jeff, thought you’d like to know that someone went and committed a real journalism.
Of course Karoline (the K makes me special, like K-Mart) shot that sanity down like a Patriot missile, but hey, Nancy Cordes from CBS tried. 🤷♂️

You posture like you're divine
Yet your excuses
Of his abuses
Show you have no soul or spine
No soul --replaced by a smirk .

VERY good H12thDoc. Flows so well. :)
I got about halfway through and then all I could think about was watching a fly try to free itself from fly paper. All that struggling and still stuck in the mire. Honey, that tirade couldn't fool a Labrador Retriever, and they have the world's most trusting hearts.
I don't have an Instagram account so I can't see it, can someone give me the gist of it?
I DO have an instagram account - on my cell. But can't somehow transmit stuff from here (my desktop) TO there, so far prefer watching YouTube videos or direct blue links. Then again, my current computer is literally bumbling along on its last wobbly legs. Last night I couldn't wish my nephew a happy birthday but today all of the messages came through - some from February. I SO DESPISE leavitt (refuse to capitalize this regime's names)...they're scum and she's simply a younger version of kelly-ann conway, the 'alternative facts' liar. By the way, her lifelong-republican/conservative husband George (who really is a quite brilliant attorney), is running now for DEMOCRAT Jerry Nadler's Congressional seat in Brooklyn.

Thank you, Katie.
Enjoy your time with Katie.
Thanks to Katie to the rescue
Hi Katie!
Piss drunk got crab legs, not lobster.
Although they probably got a couple tons of those, too.
He got both. And steak. Pretty sure none of that high-end food went to the troops.
Noem likes meat too but of a different kind.
“Thanks for calling the Corey Hotline. Here some words that rhyme with Corey: whorey, glory, story, morning glory…”
Ewwwwww
C-rations are 'good enough for them' according to that whiny little pissed-off narcissistic druggy/drunk.

Hey, what are we in Europe, chopped liver?
Well, if we send boots on the ground, we know all the self-named maga "patriots will be signing up to fight and encouraging their children and grandchildren to enlist. Surely all those good-Christian families standing around the Christmas tree holding assault weapons will be the first in line.
Those "boots" will be shiny black Florsheims--so perfect for mountain and desert fighting.
I hope all their fucking Florsheim clad feet fall off. Slowly and painfully.
Thank you for your service. My son is also Navy. He’s almost got his 20 years in and I can’t wait for him to be out!
And the polish is excellent for blackface
My husband told me about the shoes, and I don't know why, but I couldn't believe it. I really don't why. I don't know why this was just too stupid for me to believe. And that they're wearing the wrong sizes. Every other day I'm checking where to be if you're committed to unaliving by nukes. So yeah. Shoes!
I keep thinking of the movie ,The Dictator. Everyone had to change their underwear every half hour so they must be worn on the OUTSIDE of their pants…. for easy verification. lol
Being unalived.
Touché Linda!
But the heel spurs!
They should! The weapons, ammo, and uniforms are paid for, and they get the chance to kill them "infidels!"
Jackasses on parade. It's always someone else's kid who's gotta go to war. Bush Junior -- AWOL. Cadet Bone Spurs, etc. etc. etc.
Haiku from yesterday:
No drumps ever serve
That's for suckers and losers
No money in it
Queen Elizabeth II spent more time in the military than all of the T💩p clan and their in-laws combined.
So did my cat 🐱
And mine too:
Big war in Iran
Maybe Barron will enlist
Ha ha ha ha ha
My response:
Barron has bone spurs
Too tall and goofy for sure
The family of cowards
You're on a roll.
The more things change...
The Biden men served.
They’ve been running short on weapons before they dropped that first Tomahawk on the Iranian girls school with purpose Doc!
And the Pentagon is using outdated maps of date maps.
HAR!
Good one!
Yes, well, let them exterminate themselves.
If it was only MAGA or extremists that would perish....plus the whole environmental damage is a total set back for the world's carbon footprint, forget local ecosystems as they tear the fabric of heaven apart.

Lindsey appears to have completely lost his mind. Whatever Trump has on him must be insane.
Gawd I'd like to slap the shit out of that bitch. Anyone else? Line forms behind me.
It's a good dream.
Beautifully written Lynn!
Those bombs are pretty hard to hide from. Bury yourselves in your fortress for a very long time .....emerge to ruined earth that is unable to sustain your life. Your rockets you counted on to blast you free and on your way to Mars? Let us count the likely ways that little plan will fall apart immediately. Start adding up your resources and guess what?

With eugenics being a key part of P2025 and Nueralink in play, we’re all fucked Permian!
We can only hope! America will not be safe until all MAGATS are exterminated.
Someone else said it first but it will be "sign up or be deported" if we need more boots on the ground.
more like sign up and if you survive , then you will. be deported. Being a veteran is no insurance against being detained, punished and then deported. They don’t care, they have a quota.
or be put to work in munitions work camps like they did to the Jews
in WWII--Watch the Trump Juniors new start up for drones will employ detainees for slave labor
Right. They’ll all be trying to move to Canada. Maybe we can convince Canada to put them in detainment camps?
Yeah, I'm sure......not.
HA!
You mean since they already know how to shoot??
Ready, Fire, Aim!!
Hahaha, the whole cheap shoe thing is symbolic of this regime.

Then the sycophants are too afraid to not wear them or to even go get their own size. Frivolity, cowardice, and stupidity all on display.
Why is the GOP so afraid of this guy? Mamdani (sp?) stood up to Trump and he fell head over heels in love.
That's one of Sshitler's major malfunctions. He is either a bully or a punk ass bitch to those who are more powerful, charismatic, and accomplished than him.
Bully to Zelenskyy; PAB to Mamdani.
Yeah, he hates Zelenskyy because he envies the man Zelenskyy is, just like he hates Obama
I was coming here to say just that! Trump is obviously out of his mind and destroying the country...who will finally say enough is enough...cause to me, we're way past that.
I truly believe he is just covering for the real decision makers
makers, Miller, Bondi, Voight and Kushner, et al. From what I've read, Trump's mental heath has diminished significantly.
The shoes bit may have brought us to the Captain Queeg and strawberries moment.
WAY past!
Because Mamdani is not in the Trump-Epstein Files.
Hey, Marco: how many times does your name show up in the Trump-Epstein Files? I bet you can spend at least $100K of taxpayer money on getting those new clown shoes re-dyed Heinz red.
Marco's too small time to be in the Epstein files.
Nobody's too small time. And Marco sure as hell ain't: he's been in politics, in increasingly more powerful positions, without any actual talent, for nearly 30 years.
He was in FL politics so I doubt he was unaware of this super rich guy making connections and doling out money.
Plus, Marco was Holy Brother Mike Johnson before Holy Brother Mike Johnson was.....The master of doing nothing and knowing nothing, all the while pulling in the cash; no actual stance on anything, except when he could pander to the Christian Nationalists or the Cuban exiles (for whom, once upon a time, he used to feign outrage at Russia).
Kompromat.
The Shoe Thing is a “ritual humiliation” which a “strongman” periodically inflicts on his underlings to demonstrate his dominance. Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Timothy Snyder explain how Mussolini and Putin have used the technique.
Thanks for the explanation. I had a hard time believing the shoes story.
And does anyone really think Trump paid $145?
https://www.florsheim.com/shop/style/11771-001.html
Nah Steve your tax dollars are always hard at work!
I actually don't mind paying a bit to make Marcos feet hurt
⚡🦶⚡🦶⚡
😂😂😂
That Florsheim site you posted was hysterical! Wish I could share it…
Just copy/paste, easy-peasy
🤣 Dollars to donuts t-rump (I mean we) paid the bargin price and t. kept the rest. Just like he did with his taxes.
This will be in the official books as a $145,000 consultation fee. The grift goes on and on.
This is truly the stuff of dark comedy.
"It's Springtime in America for MAGA" - I can see Zero Mostel playing tRump, but sadly he died in 1977.
And Marco plays Bloom, clutching his li’l blue blankie.
And now we know for sure. It is amazing to watch these guys roll over, sit, speak, stay, fetch. What on earth does he have on these people or what has he "promised" them? A spot on Mars or the moon after this planet is trashed?? Sure.
Liddle is waiting for Cuba.The Orange Pustule keeps his hope alive but he will never be king of Cuba.
Did anyone ever mention the fear these tiny connards have of their dear leaders wrath Doc? The party of psychopaths and sycophant’s!
The US and Israel are rogue nations run by corrupt psycho-sociopaths. The world needs to stop letting itself be held hostage by these terrorists and fight back against them. Trump and Netanyahu are guilty of crimes against humanity and should be arrested. The US and Israel should be sanctioned. Removed from NATO. Arrest warrants for Trump prepared by the ICC for suspected crimes against humanity - Netanyahu already has them.
These two countries are evil, tyranical, lawless and represent a threat to world order, decency, and peace.
With all the death and destruction he's brought to his own people, Bibi I'm sure spends a lot on personal security. He should.
I’m hoping all tRump’s appointed traitors who are now living in Military Housing (General’s houses)have to pay for protection from their constituents for the rest of their worthless lives.
It would be encouraging for SOMEONE to do ANYTHING about putin, bibi and orangeshitstain!!
if only
Yes. Facts. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh yes…blame poor people for not understanding money and using snap…but let’s cut our education departments everywhere…that will surely fucking help!
Free and comprehensive public education is the single most important thing we lack.
100% 👍
Absolutely. And Ohio is doing its best to undermine that with universal, no-income-limit education welfare checks (vouchers) for rich kids to go to elite private schools while reneging on a public school funding bill they passed just four years ago because "we don't have the money." And now they're trying to bully a huge consortium of public school distracts suing, trying to pass a bill that would strip any district of its funding if it joined such a lawsuit. Our way or the highway! Gerrymandering and term limits in action! And Jon Husted is a poster boy for Ohio stupidity. I'm sure his wife does all the grocery shopping and he couldn't find his way around a grocery if his life depended on it. He's been too busy engineering bribes.

Kids/adults don't know the Atlantic from the Pacific Oceans or where is the Middle East and can't make change without the help of a computer. This insidious reality was a long time coming but here we are.
The Dumbing Down of Ahmerika!!!
Ohio, you know what to do: GET THAT GREEDY IDIOT OUT OF OFFICE AS SOON AS YOU LEGALLY CAN. Then investigate him for bribes and other BS. Deep down, I think Ohio voters know that there are no good repugnicans now. NONE.
We are working on it. He's up for retention this November (He was appointed to fill JD Fancypant's seat). You can help by making a donation here to return Sherrod Brown to the Senate in his place: https://www.sherrodbrown.com
By the way, the race is basically tied with polls showing Sherrod with a tiny lead. We can do this.
I like Sherrod Brown and I’ve donated to him in the past. Thanks for the reminder! Anything to help!!
Much appreciated. In addition to his other failings, Useless as I call him is completely unresponsive to constituents.
100% agree Anastasia! Cannot wait to vote this idiot out of office - thanks DeSwine for nominating this horrible man to the senate. The republicans are all corrupt in Ohio.
I'm sure that story is 100% something that never happened.
The arrogance alone should get him voted out.
He's up for re-election. He's one of my completely useless senators. Useless for us. P3do protector.
How quickly we went from an accountable government to a third world corrupt kakistocracy.
And, Republican Congress is also to blame
... and the right wingers on the un SUPREME court.
primarily the gop voters.
Always remember: we, the people, are the architects of it all. Trump's goons didn't forcefully seize power--we elected him to lead us. We support and encourage obscene wealth with every dollar we send to Amazon. We weren't threatened--we did it all enthusiastically. We could have said "no" when it would have made a difference.
I hope it's not too late tho turn things around. The people who voted for this are to blame.
I object to the word "WE" as many of us have spent our hard earned money and hours and hours sounding this impending doom. I am not responsible for any of this mayhem.
I did not vote for any of them, either. I make signs. I go to rallies. I am still complicit in this because I have failed to stop it before it got this serious. If you live in this country and are a U.S. citizen, you are, too. We have not done enough--there are no innocent bystanders. Who and what companies have you supported with your $$$ that are behind the grift and corruption and wars?
Don't forget about the ones who stayed home.
I don’t disagree.
Tribalism is not good for democracy.
and many leaders of churches.
Trump should buy ill-fitting shoes for all the Dominionists and believers in a Unitary
Executive on the Supreme Court. Except for Amy Coney Barrett -- she can go with barefoot and pregnant because "female."
They sure are! They're so scared of losing their cushy jobs, excellent health insurance and lifetime pensions that they'll do whatever the Moron-in-Chief wants.
Unless they are about to retire. Then they'll speak the truth.
Sadly, there are plenty on the Democratic side of the aisle to blame: Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, DINO John Fetterman, to name a few.
We need a dynamic leader which neither Schumer or Jeffries are.
Jeffries has done an incredible job of holding Mikey Johnson's feet to the fire and is a lot of the reason why Mikey is too scared to even have the House in session. We need to stop eating our own.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are NOT to blame. In fact, I look forward to spoon-feeding a lot of people their words when Jeffries takes over as speaker in January and does an amazing job, which he will. I'm more mixed of Schumer, but there is nothing to blame Jeffries on. Our worst failing is we eat our own, based largely on image.
I agree keep track, we have great lawyers on the committees and they are performing at the highest levels.
Today it’s matching shoes. Tomorrow he’ll add the red arm bands.
Ouch! I can see that!
Don’t give him any ideas
He's already giifted them new MAGA hats in an earlier cabinet meeting. Head-to-toe puppetry. On a side note, I don't believe Rubio wears a size 11. He threw out a big number to sound macho but he's a short little shit and now has to slide around in those gunboats.
At least the MAGAts are going to have a hard time getting around in their new fashion statement: oversized clown shoes. I hope ICE thugs get a shipment they're required to wear.
Husted technically was never elected to his senate seat; he was appointed to finish out JD Vance’s term. I know that means that Ohio did in fact elect JD Vance, which is somewhat worse, but still. Anyways, that clip should be a Sherrod Brown campaign ad, zero editing needed.
All these jackholes who talk about how The Poors (tm) don’t know anything about money drive me nuts. I doubt they have any idea how their own household budget works, they get paid by the government they claim to hate, have top-notch healthcare, get tons in b̶r̶i̶b̶e̶s̶ ̶ campaign contributions.
How many of them have tried living on SNAP benefits? They’ve probably never set foot in a grocery store in their miserable lives.
This is like all those people who claim they were behind a woman in the grocery carrying a Coach purse and buying filet mignon with food stamps, before going out and getting in her Escalade. It's funny how many people were in line behind this woman. I've been behind a lot of people using Ohio Directions cards — I live in a very economically mixed area — but I never saw this one.
Reagan used similar slurs about "Welfare Queens" back in the 80s.
Exactly. It's the Reagan template and honestly, I think the people saying this were just echoing Reagan and it never happened to them.
There are SHITLOADS of people scamming like that, all over Ohio.
I once saw this dude sitting at a major intersection here, all scruffy & filthy, w/ his sign saying "Disabled, homeless, out of work. Please help." When he finished his "shift", his wife pulled into the parking lot - IN THEIR BEEMER - & SHE took over, while he drove home. Saw it w/ my own eyes.
Sure, sure, whatever. I mean, after those hundreds of welfare queens driving Cadillacs what do you expect? Or was it thousands?

Sherrod is using it in social media posts.
👍👍👍
Oddly enough, hardly ANY of us here in Ohio even KNEW who jd BOWMAN was, until #Bumblefuck picked him as his VP.
Like we know him now?
True dat
Back in my radio news days, we used to call people like him, "a Mutt in an Airedale Suit".
Little yappy mutts hide behind the Big Mean Dog, acting like they're tough & that they actually MATTER. But, the second the Big Mean Dog goes away, he either tucks his tail under his ass & runs away, OR nobody takes him seriously, & he gets ignored, & even SHUNNED.
Some people say they're afraid of what would happen if BOWMAN became prez. Pssssh....I think he'll end up under the bus, along w/ #Bumblefuck. I mean, does ANYONE take this flaming shitheel seriously?
Lindsey Graham: “...what’s it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime?”
Talk about having absolutely no idea what you're saying, Miss Lindsey... You mean like Rapture Happy Christians running the military and government and being fascists...
A religious Nazi regime, is that not what we have now?
BINGO: Rapture Happy Christians running the military and government and being fascists...
Can we explain to them that if they go over there and die in the war, they'll get to heaven faster and not have to wait for the rapture?
Yes, that would be nice, but these people know the HAVE to be raptured or they're going STRAIGHT to Hell.
I've tried explaining that to some MAGA men, but they can't begin to comprehend something that doesn't affect them or any of the womenfolk they personally know.
YET.
NOTHING matters to Republicans until it happens to them.
My thought exactly.
Theocratic, like Israel.
Yes.
I was thinking the fastest way to do it would be impeachment--for treason.
You need 2/3 of the House to impeach him and then the Senate has its say so. Watching paint dry goes faster. The FASTEST way would be to round them up and drop them in an oilfield in Iran.
I'd be okay with that. I'd prefer Alligator Alcatraz, but I'll take what I can get.
Alligator Auschwitz. It's much more accurate because Alcatraz had to meet standards to avoid being called cruel and unusual punishment. The Trump regime has no such standards, as I'm sure you already know.
Yeah, but the Alcatraz name has already been stuck on it. As long as the conditions are terrible, suits me. Alligators would just be a bonus.
The Alcatraz name was stuck on it by THEM. THEY EVEN HAVE ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ ROAD SIGNS on Interstate 75. I refuse to use their words for what they're calling it.
It's Alligator Auschwitz or "that concentration camp in the Everglades". Alcatraz was never a concentration camp. It was a place where people were sent AFTER DUE PROCESS and deemed to be the worst of the worst convicts.
Is the concentration camp in the Everglades holding those convicted and deemed by the legal system to be the worst of the worst?
The people in Auschwitz were never given due process and NEITHER ARE THOSE who are thrown in Alligator AUSCHWITZ.
And the one in Texas? I'm calling that Desert Dachau.
Or maybe this was Miss Lindsey's try at "blink twice if you need to be rescued" --because, indeed: what's it worth to normal Americans to take down this religious Nazi regime....the one that's much, much closer than Iran. In fact, it IS in the room with us right now.
A TWISTED OLD DIMWIT NAMED DONNIE
I WISH THAT HIS FATHER USED CONNIES
OR AT LEAST SHOT SOME BLANKS
SO NO MIDDLE EAST TANKS
GOOD GOD! WHEN WILL HE BE GONNIE?!?
WE NEED A SWEET POPPINS LIKE MARY
TO DESCEND FROM THE CLOUDS LIKE A FAIRY
IT WOULD BE SO MUCH NICER
TO HAVE HAVE KINDNESS-FILLED GEYSERS....
PLEASE HURRY, MARY! DON'T TARY!
Please subscribe to my Substack! Our Lord and Master Mr. Tiedrich seems to be okay with it....
thanks for the laugh
I'm happy to have made you laugh.
👏👏👏👏
Good riddance to the evil ICE fiend
Who wanted her cosplays screened
It delights us to say
Go the fuck away
And we'll have your plane steam cleaned
HAHAHAHA! It needs a deep deeeeep steam cleaning. Maybe bleach will help, but that's being used to cure COVID.
Throw in sandblasting.😂😂
👏👏👏👏
From this day forward everytime one of these Republican shit birds mentions waste, fraud and abuse we need to throw Whiskey Pete's luxury spending spree in their fugly faces. Republicans know that waste, fraud and abuse exist the same way they know voter fraud exists - they do it. And since they do it, they believe everyone else does too. Fuck them, I'm tired of it.
They dont care.
They don’t care
The audacity of not caring and being arrogant and playing the sycophant card with
Donnie 2Dolls… Just shove it all up their asses and get them out of office!
Lindsay G: are you trying to become #1 idiot Senator or what???
I think Lindsay G. wants to be the first US senator tried at the Hague.
The only good thing I can see coming out of this war on Iran is that oil will take a backseat to green energy again only this time green energy has a really good head start. Have I lost my mind now?
Still relying on stuff we pump and dig out of the ground at great risk to both the environment and the human lives needed to extract it when wind and sun are available is so friggin' stupid. Why would anyone with reasoning ability think this is a good idea??
Trump has killed green energy initiatives, so we're behind on that too.
In answer to your question, unfortunately yes you have. I've encountered it myself, people so tied to their political dogma that they deny what is plainly in their best interest.
Thank you for highlighting Ohio’s 💩 Senator who is going to lose bigly to Sherrod Brown in November! ❤️🤍💙
Pour one out for those ill-fitting Florsheims. That is COMEDY GOLD. That Veep reboot is looking more and more likely. Any casting suggestions?
SNL is going to have a FIELD DAY this week!
I dunno. Is that still relevant to the national dialogue? Seems so ephemeral, lost in the shuffle. A causality of satire being unable to match pace with reality.
Life has been rough for comedy writers for a while. That shit just writes itself.
Yup.
But it’s not a cult. 🙄
