yes, I know, 'hitlerjugend' ends with a d, and I omitted the d when I coined 'trumpenjugen.' I just like it better that way, and I get to spell it any way I want, since I made it up.
but I also know I'll get at least one email taking me to task for the misspelling, because the internet never disappoints
I pity Miller's poor kids having to be raised by that coffin dwelling demon. The Fourth Reich promoting dickhead says he wants to rid schools of "communist ideology". So in other words, let's teach the kids the basics of fascism, heel- clicking and art of goosestepping while flushing democracy right down the shitter. Hopefully at some point, there could be a very special place in the big house for this very sick creature and it won't be the cell block with the inmates sporting swastika. tattoos.
He pulls that out all the time. No reporter will ask what he MEANS by it; what specific communist ideology is being taught in schools. He will say "woke" to which the only response is "that's another adjective; I'm looking for a noun. Name the thing that is teaching kids communist ideology and how that thing thus teaches it.
No reporter will ask this, because they are afraid they will get AP'd. (I can make up new words, too).
Well, not being allowed on the big plane is a little bit different than seeing your pink slip on X, as in Trump 1.0. Now, Waltz can tell all those shithole countries right to their faces exactly what trump thinks of them.
The barred from the plane routine is another Trump classic - He doesn't have the guts to tell Waltz to his face that he's fired, some poor flunky has to do it by telling him he's not allowed on the plane. Didn't Spicer get the same treatment?
I remember Trump fired James Comey (or was it Anthony Scaramucci?) by telling Fox News, and Comey saw it while watching TV. Trump the tough guy never fires people personally; he's too big of a coward.
Jeff, don't you get it? If you only get 38 virgins, it just means you spend more time fucking your two dolls, which are programmed to fake orgasm the minute you walk in the room.
Pro tip for women in tRumpWorld: Fake an orgasm the moment the man enters the room. He’ll turn around and go brag about his prowess. Meanwhile, he hasn’t touched you. That’s a Win-Win
💯with you, Jeff, I get annoyed with the people who raise issues about spelling. Not in a column like this. You’re not writing a dissertation or a thesis ffs!
Plus, it’s just rude to come to someone else’s page and critique their writing. It forces me, as a writer, to critique their critique, but it’s not really rude to be rude to someone who’s being rude.
I have done a fair bit of editing my life and that is one of the best things I have ever read. Andy Fucking Warhol. I am going to work that story into a conversation this weekend.
Like probably every other copyeditor who ever worked for a newspaper, I once left the "l" out of "public" -- on the front page, just above the fold. Spelling matters.
Oy! I bet you sold a lot of newspapers that day. Hopefully enough time has passed that it's funny to you now. There's an episode of "Schitt's Creek" (excellent show BTW) where Alexis gets her certificate in 'Pubic Relations' from the local community college.
It was pretty funny even at the time. <g> And a couple of others got to share the glory: the reporter who wrote the story and the news editor who didn't catch it either. We all knew that things fall through the cracks in the rush to deadline, but most of them aren't this epic.
My personal worst was not noticing that a "not" was missing from the verdict in a high-profile local trial. The accused was found NOT guilty and the "not" was missing, again on page 1. Oops. This is why many newspapers use "guilty" and "innocent" instead of "guilty" and "not guilty." "Not guilty" is too easy to screw up.
It absolutely does matter ! If a person is a bad speller, I assume they're not that smart, or can't be bothered to use Spellchecker. Also, the differences in THERE , THEIR , THEY'RE, seems to be very difficult for some.
I think, as a third anniversary gift to your readers, you should put together a thesaurus containing all of the words and phrases you’ve coined. That way, when we’re tired of using old, hackneyed descriptions in our daily lives, we can tap into your more colorful language. Actually, it doesn’t even need to be a gift. I’d pay good money for “Uncle Jeff’s Book of Quotations.”
For history buffs, there is a book worth reading: ‘Education for Death, the making of the Nazi’ by Gregor Ziemer 1941, Oxford University Press. Mr. Ziemer taught at the American School in Berlin, Germany. The book is a first hand account of how Hitler changed children’s education in Germany. Is this America’s future?
I usually don't notice spelling or grammar issues, but there is one that bugs me- it's Tim WALZ and Mike WALTZ. I've been seeing it in a lot of comments lately :)
This is awesome, thank you Robert Eckert for an enlightening comment! (I know zero German.)
I'm a spelling freak, which doesn't mean I never misspell anything, but it really interests me because it so often points toward etymology that's fun to think about.
I try to reserve my criticism of spelling and grammar for pompous asses who try to come off as smarter than they are while being nasty to other commentators.
I never had an American Girl doll (way after my time), but they were really nice dolls and the accessories were amazing. Still, only children of people with lots of disposable income could have them. I once worked for a small company where the owner’s wife would bring her daughter to work and they would leave the office for a trip to the American Girl store. Then they would come back and show off their purchases to all the employees whose children could only dream of having toys like that. It was kind of disgusting. But it’s a shame the company is closing.
Based on your great comment a couple days ago, you’re going to be our next Pope. You can rewrite Genesis: “There was nothing, so God created a total lack of zero.”
I am very concerned about this scarcity in the virgins supply. Has Donnie diverted them to Merde á Lardo? And why isn't he firing his sewer clowns on Xitter any more? Is it a sign that he and President Musk are on the outs? Enquiring minds want to know!
Incel is short for 'involuntarily celebate', so I think so. But if Stephen Goebbles Miller can find a woman willing to sleep in the same bed with him, maybe there is hope for the others?
yeah, but she's still a nasty far-right-winger. It just "shows to go ya" that there's a goose for every gander. But, dear goddess, what a toxic household. I feel very very sorry for those kids.
I am very fond of Tim Walz. He brings the calm and normal that we need right now. Also, he has a razor wit. If he had run with Kamala as Veep they would have won. Well, except that the whole voting thing was not fair and honest.
Jeff's "Nosferatu McGoebbels" takes the cake for me. Says it all, with imagery. Though Peewee German is a close second.
If he could be extracted from Trump's rear, it would be fun to see what nickname Trump would saddle him with. It would be childish, inaccurate, and not clever, and would say more about Trump than Miller, but would be fun to see.
Yes Miller’s kids. They will either identify with him or rebel to the opposite. This is what happens. Look at Trump. His dad was horrid. He exhibited behavior to frump which told trump in distinct terms how stupid he was. We are living with the result.
There's no chance of any Trump appointee being any kind of effective UN Ambassador, since they have to follow Trump's and Rubio's orders. And Trump won't care because he thinks he runs the world and the UN is just a distraction, if not a fifth column.
Americans will be willing to pay more for American made products? Get real. The whole reason Wal-Mart and Amazon exist is because Americans didn't want to pay more. They wanted mass produced cheap shit rather than more expensive hand made stuff. Oh, we can get it cheaper from China? Sign me up, bro. I had this argument with my brother-in-law years ago. He said why should I pay $12.00 for a hammer at a local hardware store when I can get for $6.00 at Wal-Mart. I said because that $6.00 hammer will fall apart in 6 months and you'll have to buy another one and now you've spent $12.00 that you could have spent at the local hardware store in the first place and gotten a hammer that would last for several years. Hell, I have hammers that I've had for over 40 years that I got well before our town had a Wal-Mart or Amazon existed.
"... in the last four years the world experienced a total lack of zero leadership under Biden..."
"a TOTAL LACK of ZERO leadership under Biden" That is kind of like a double negative, so he is, in fact, saying that the world actually HAD leadership under Biden. Though I don't really think the treason weasel or his ass kissers caught it.
You know, a lot of this whole thing is about having intelligence or not having it.
They (the duh’s) KNOW or at least understand they don’t quite have it and throw bombs at those who do.
Our educational system favored the already had it. Much repair in that area could do our world a little of good. Too little too late. But it would be so reparative to relook at how we teach.
Love it! The "Duh" Party! Can see it now - "Florida, a majority "Duh" state, just outlawed the teaching of the atomic theory in public schools because too many elements had unpaired electrons and were seen as 'too frisky' by the religious right to be exposed to children". ......... "Duh Party primary voters must bring evidence of TrumpCoin holdings in order to cast a vote in the "Duh" primary".
Arne, you have it down. Probably everyone our age got more out of those 7th grade classes for everyone in cooking (inc. nutrition) and sewing and woodworking and metalworking.
So many things to turn back and walk back when America becomes America again one day. Not sure if I'll see that in my lifetime. These are very dark days. And only 3 yrs and 8 months to go for another "chance" to take back America.
I now live in Los Angeles. But just came back from a 2 week round trip vacation to visit my folks in deep red Texas. They're somewhat sane compared to others in their toxic state.
But it got worse. I road-tripped down to deep east Texas near the Louisiana state line where I grew up to visit my childhood memory lane. I also, dare i say it, attended a rodeo in Lufkin, Texas where the rodeo announcer told everyone to get ready to "listen to the best song in the entire world". That was followed by pre-recorded version of the national anthem during the opening ceremony.
Play it if you want. It's by far NOT the best song in the world FFS... the brainwashing is rampant in the deep red states. I walked out of that place after 45 minutes. It was too much
Protests were great. The judge’s assault on the AEA will be atmospheric precedence. My problem: Deficit spending is blooming. That is on steriods and Republicans offer us only wool for our eyes. Maybe we should not look.
The leadership sees no other way. Trump and the Republicans have no problem with deficit spending especially when tax cuts for wealthy donors are the end. Deficit spending is bipartisan, with the GOP blowing money on tax cuts and military excess, while Democrats try to eradicate income inequality and discrimination. Democrats will direct money to programs that help citizens and the World's suffering.
What pisses me off is that I have watched Rethuglicans since fking Reagan drain our coffers and run up the credit card for stupid, pointless wars of aggression and tax cuts for the rich. NOTHING ELSE! We have NOTHING to show for their decades of reckless spending. Meanwhile, China has been investing in its people and infrastructure and is currently kicking our ass. I hate what Rethuglicans have done to my country. Reverse Robinhood.
Thom Hartmann has had an ongoing challenge for years now whereby he asks that someone tell him one piece of legislation sponsored by a Republican in the last 40 years that actually helped the poor or middle-class. No takers because there isn't any.
yes, I know, 'hitlerjugend' ends with a d, and I omitted the d when I coined 'trumpenjugen.' I just like it better that way, and I get to spell it any way I want, since I made it up.
but I also know I'll get at least one email taking me to task for the misspelling, because the internet never disappoints
An extra letter’s optional: Stephen Nosferatu wants U.S. children to be uninformed. Take away the second “n” and they’ll be uniformed, too. Voilà!
I pity Miller's poor kids having to be raised by that coffin dwelling demon. The Fourth Reich promoting dickhead says he wants to rid schools of "communist ideology". So in other words, let's teach the kids the basics of fascism, heel- clicking and art of goosestepping while flushing democracy right down the shitter.

OMG! He has CHILDREN? Someone pro-created with him more than once?! Ick!! 🥴
Yup and his wife must be just as bad as he is.
Indeed. Katie Miller, co-Rump sycophant.
hahahahaha ... hilarious, Kathy ... thank you.
What communist ideology is he talking about? The only communists I know of today are Putin, t, and friends (Miller!).
He pulls that out all the time. No reporter will ask what he MEANS by it; what specific communist ideology is being taught in schools. He will say "woke" to which the only response is "that's another adjective; I'm looking for a noun. Name the thing that is teaching kids communist ideology and how that thing thus teaches it.
No reporter will ask this, because they are afraid they will get AP'd. (I can make up new words, too).
Good one Susan!
Interesting considering nazis and communists aren't known for sharing the same views.
Yes, but these days they don't understand the differences.
The bottom line with all of the isms is "anti-democracy".
Remember who he is speaking too.
His wife is just as evil.
Agree 💯
Well, not being allowed on the big plane is a little bit different than seeing your pink slip on X, as in Trump 1.0. Now, Waltz can tell all those shithole countries right to their faces exactly what trump thinks of them.
The barred from the plane routine is another Trump classic - He doesn't have the guts to tell Waltz to his face that he's fired, some poor flunky has to do it by telling him he's not allowed on the plane. Didn't Spicer get the same treatment?
Two doll chicken shit.
Exactly
Didn’t he fire Comey the same way?Left him stranded on a tarmac in CA or NV to find his own way home.
Yep.
I remember Trump fired James Comey (or was it Anthony Scaramucci?) by telling Fox News, and Comey saw it while watching TV. Trump the tough guy never fires people personally; he's too big of a coward.
Jeff, don't you get it? If you only get 38 virgins, it just means you spend more time fucking your two dolls, which are programmed to fake orgasm the minute you walk in the room.

Now that's primo advice !!!
That didn’t work for Elise Stefanik. Now dumb shit Waltz gets the good job.
😝 That’s a mighty tall ask.
👏🏼👏🏼😂😂
I think he should just keep it as "Hitler Youth". To him it's not the same because it's in English.
He (rump) should NOT be messing with our youth.
I agree. Especially since he was BFF with Jeffy Epstein!!
Or leering at them in the Miss USA dressing room
Or opening another version of "Trump Modeling"

And it's nice to be nice to the nice. Also too, even editors have editors.
Spelling doesn't matter if you get the idea out to the reader.
"typos get the reader involved."
know who said that to me? Andy Fucking Warhol. I shit you not
That sounds like something John Waters would say.
I have done a fair bit of editing my life and that is one of the best things I have ever read. Andy Fucking Warhol. I am going to work that story into a conversation this weekend.
omg, I love it!
Sure it wasn't George Santos?
It was Santos Claus. The Christmas elf that steals your identity and is a total drag.

. . . and the d on the end isn’t as good anyway. It doesn’t look right.

I tend to agree. Artistic license right?

Yeah, that’s one of my faves!

Mr. Ziemer taught at the American School in Berlin, Germany. The book is a first hand account of how Hitler changed children’s education in Germany. Is this America’s future?
Just sent a note to myself to check this out, thanks for the recommendation!
I usually don't notice spelling or grammar issues, but there is one that bugs me- it's Tim WALZ and Mike WALTZ. I've been seeing it in a lot of comments lately :)
Mike Waltz will be gone from the news cycle soon enough and I believe we have not seen the last of Tim Walz.
"Jugend" is the abstract noun "youth" but "Jungen" (what you actually wrote) is the plural "boys" so it works too.
This is awesome, thank you Robert Eckert for an enlightening comment! (I know zero German.)
I'm a spelling freak, which doesn't mean I never misspell anything, but it really interests me because it so often points toward etymology that's fun to think about.
I try to reserve my criticism of spelling and grammar for pompous asses who try to come off as smarter than they are while being nasty to other commentators.
But to me that stuff does matter.
‘Pompous Asses who try to come off as smarter than they are ‘
Every accusation is a confession
Ha ha, Ole, don't bait me or I'll have to tell you the "a" in "asses" shouldn't be capitalized. :D
I’m blaming autocorrect for that one. But maybe it knows more than I do and thought it was justified in this instance.
Are ANY dolls currently manufactured in the USA?
Sure. On an Amish farm in Ohio. They are made from corn husks.
😁
American Girls was. They are closing.
I never had an American Girl doll (way after my time), but they were really nice dolls and the accessories were amazing. Still, only children of people with lots of disposable income could have them. I once worked for a small company where the owner’s wife would bring her daughter to work and they would leave the office for a trip to the American Girl store.

But it’s a shame the company is closing.
Melanoma, or however you spell it.
Now, on the third hand, a youth group is a Jugendgruppe, so a group of Dumpty future cannon fodder bio-robots could be a Beschissene Jugendgruppe (?)
That’s a shame that spelling police follow you so closely.
Shame on you, for saying that.
Purely pathetic
Dark image of Titanic with this bloviating blow horn at the helm.
Hope we’re not doomed but it sure looks like a very real possibility.
"a total lack of zero leadership"
Ummmmmmmmmmm. Does he realize he just complimented Biden? Watch those double negatives, Mikey!
Yes! I had to read it a couple of times to validate my own interpretation of the double negative. Geez, I'm starting to gaslight myself......
Me too!
You’re not alone!
😆
Based on your great comment a couple days ago, you’re going to be our next Pope. You can rewrite Genesis: “There was nothing, so God created a total lack of zero.”
I read it to my wife and she laughed. That these “Sewer Clowns” still have followers only verifies that we are all circling the drain.
Well we're not lacking for zero leadership now! We're going to have so much zero, you'll get tired of all the zero.
Excellent point!!!!
That immediately stood out to me too!
I saw that too!
I was gonna say the same thing!
"you only get two dolls, and you only get 38 virgins." 😂😂😂
MAKE IT STOP. Is it me or does every day get crazier?
I cant believe lightning didnt strike him during that so called Prayer Business.
Mr. Rubio is gonna need some serious energy drinks to get all his shit done.😜
Tim Walz tossed out a tweet that said: "Mike Walz has left the chat".
THAT was brilliant trolling.
I am very concerned about this scarcity in the virgins supply. Has Donnie diverted them to Merde á Lardo? And why isn't he firing his sewer clowns on Xitter any more? Is it a sign that he and President Musk are on the outs? Enquiring minds want to know!
Is ‘virgin’ the same as ‘incel’? Because if so, I’d bet the Donnie administration is replete with virgins.
Incel is short for 'involuntarily celebate', so I think so. But if Stephen Goebbles Miller can find a woman willing to sleep in the same bed with him, maybe there is hope for the others?
Throwing up in my mouth a little.
And incredibly, Katie his wife, is a nice looking, and was a seemingly normal person. She used to work for Pence.
yeah, but she's still a nasty far-right-winger. It just "shows to go ya" that there's a goose for every gander. But, dear goddess, what a toxic household. I feel very very sorry for those kids.
They will never have any chance to be normal.
That pretty much makes sense. Two different kinds of purity. Ugh .
If you’re TRULY worried about the dwindling virgin supply, you must get in touch with Susan Collins who’ll write a strongly worded statement.
Ya right
LOL!!
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 All valid questions!
I am very fond of Tim Walz. He brings the calm and normal that we need right now. Also, he has a razor wit. If he had run with Kamala as Veep they would have won. Well, except that the whole voting thing was not fair and honest.
He is definitely a down to earth, decent human. I hope we havent heard the last of him yet.
I love Tim. We have to keep him.
Marco is probably drinking whatever Hegseth is having, about now. 🍸🍹🥂🍻
Rubio is working more jobs than a Haitian immigrant.
🤣🤣. Truth!!
"A total lack of zero leadership"
= strong leadership. At least to those of us fluent in English.
I know. a lot of times I let those things pass without commenting on them because there's no smooth way to work it into the narrative.
Everything about this administration is sik [sic].
That’s why we’re here, Jeff, to pick up the slack.
😂 Right?
You distill so much craziness for us though🧡
Stephen Miller is a Nazi twerp. He is a genuine twerp, knows it, and it makes him bitter. Uncle Jeff, feel free to used the label.
Trump waited until Day 101 to fire Waltz. Didn't want it in the 100.
My favorite nickname for Miller is Peewee German (not mine, it's been popping up in many places).
Jeff's "Nosferatu McGoebbels" takes the cake for me. Says it all, with imagery. Though Peewee German is a close second.
If he could be extracted from Trump's rear, it would be fun to see what nickname Trump would saddle him with. It would be childish, inaccurate, and not clever, and would say more about Trump than Miller, but would be fun to see.
Brilliant, but object bringing thevlate great Paul Ruebens into a discussion of the Nazi Twerp.
He was a sweetheart. RIP Paul Reubens
I’m more fond (or is it fonder?) of the term “used-up, second-hand douche-bag” for him but I must admit that Peewee German rolls off the tongue. 😂
I'm a bit partial to the nickname "Santa Monica Fascist" but Peewee German is great too.
😂😂
The Daily Show did an excellent deep dive into Miller's past. Even with their comedic takes, it is truly horrifying what kind of evil is within him.
I agree. And I saw that piece. Himmler and Goebbels were also twerps. So was their boss. Embittered, entitled twerps are dangerous.
He's been a toxic POS since his Santa Monica High racist shenanigans .
They showed that, and it was nauseating.
Jewish Nazi and a “shanda” to Jews everywhere! His own family, other than his equally deplorable wife, have disowned him.
Peewee German and his frau reportedly sleep in separate coffins.
Excellent post! Made me lol for real.
This one may require an x-ray of my funny bone - I think it sustained a hairline fracture!
But he doesn't cry like Leon does.Mike Waltz wasn't really fired. He just got put in a different department.
To make it look like he wasn't fired. At least, he lasted l9ngercthan Mike Flynn did in the job.
As frightening as your entire column was, Jeff, the most terrifying phrase was when Obergruppenfuhrer Miller said, "I'm the parent of young children."
I caught that too. He has three.... those poor kids.
I wonder if they look as traumatised as the Kegsbreath kids. . .
There's a photo of tr💩mp jr. with his kids, they look traumatized & miserable.
I'll post it now.
They have three now?? They’re creating the Aryan race just like Elon. Ugh! SAVE THE CHILDREN needs to be notified
Immediately!!
Yes Miller’s kids. They will either identify with him or rebel to the opposite. This is what happens. Look at Trump. His dad was horrid. He exhibited behavior to frump which told trump in distinct terms how stupid he was. We are living with the result.
1. Waiting to see how Waltz will fuck up being an AmbASSador. Love how he got shitcanned. It’s the only thing Agent Orange is good at.
2. Give me a fucking break. If Nosferatu thinks plenty of shit on Amazon doesn’t come from China he’s even dumber than I thought.
It’s at least 35% - but that’s Amazon’s propaganda - I think it’s closer to 50% of actual units sold - not necessarily dollars
I agree. It's probably more than fifty percent. If I were KKKKaroline I would say more than 110%.
She reserves those numbers for praising her Dear Leader and future sugar daddy.
There's no chance of any Trump appointee being any kind of effective UN Ambassador, since they have to follow Trump's and Rubio's orders. And Trump won't care because he thinks he runs the world and the UN is just a distraction, if not a fifth column.
Mike Waltz quote "total lack of zero leadership" equates to TOTAL LEADERSHIP ... not only AHOLES, but actual Imbeciles...
We need Drew Friedman to capture this.
Sadly Don Martin [MAD] isn’t around anymore. Nor Otto Dix.
Do you recall seeing the Friedman cartoon on Ernest Borgnine & Ethel Merman? Hilarious
It's true - absolutely everything IS on the internet:
https://www.tumblr.com/edroso/589769799/drew-friedman-the-genius-whose-work-this-cartoon
Thanks for providing a lsugh today.
You consider that cartoon funny? Please explain it to me why that is funny.
It’s not…
It's not, & the story I heard is not either.
Classic.
Ohh,I have such a nasty Hollywood story about Borgnine & Merman. 😳
I'd add Honore Daumier to the mix. Accent over the E.😆
I fully expected Pam Blondi to crawl under the table to fellate Donnie Two Dolls in her effusiveness to please him. Sycophants is an understatement.
That happened AFTERWARD. (donnie would have been sleeping through all the glorious tributes if it occurred BEFORE or DURING the cabinet meeting.)
Pretty soon I"m wondering if she'll have to push KKKaroline aside to reach those dangling dingles. Trump sure seems to like him some young blondes
Just another day in TRumplandia. The shit show never ends with TRump's Clown Car Cabinet... Ugh. Please make it stop.🤪
Americans will be willing to pay more for American made products? Get real. The whole reason Wal-Mart and Amazon exist is because Americans didn't want to pay more. They wanted mass produced cheap shit rather than more expensive hand made stuff. Oh, we can get it cheaper from China? Sign me up, bro. I had this argument with my brother-in-law years ago.

Hell, I have hammers that I've had for over 40 years that I got well before our town had a Wal-Mart or Amazon existed.
This postLuz& Max, converge with my
mantra about Drumpf:
He’s dumber than a bag of HAMMERS.
"... in the last four years the world experienced a total lack of zero leadership under Biden..."
"a TOTAL LACK of ZERO leadership under Biden" That is kind of like a double negative, so he is, in fact, saying that the world actually HAD leadership under Biden. Though I don't really think the treason weasel or his ass kissers caught it.
Which one has the intelligent to catch it.
You know, a lot of this whole thing is about having intelligence or not having it.
They (the duh’s) KNOW or at least understand they don’t quite have it and throw bombs at those who do.
Our educational system favored the already had it. Much repair in that area could do our world a little of good. Too little too late. But it would be so reparative to relook at how we teach.
I would suggest, instead, a good hard look at the chemicals sprayed, poured, dumped, and buried in the rural parts of the country.
Pesticide exposure in very young children is linked to lower and slower brain development, for example.
But wait, are the duh's rs or MAGAs? Both? The same? Because I'd like to switch my terminology for both to duh's.
Love it! The "Duh" Party! Can see it now - "Florida, a majority "Duh" state, just outlawed the teaching of the atomic theory in public schools because too many elements had unpaired electrons and were seen as 'too frisky' by the religious right to be exposed to children". ......... "Duh Party primary voters must bring evidence of TrumpCoin holdings in order to cast a vote in the "Duh" primary".
We need Readin', Writin', and Rithmatic. Maybe add a little history and geography and some training in practical things like Kookin'.
We're all stocked up with "kooks" already, thanks.
Arne, you have it down. Probably everyone our age got more out of those 7th grade classes for everyone in cooking (inc. nutrition) and sewing and woodworking and metalworking.
But not by the dumbest bunnies in the hutch. We really need some great educators. I think we can import them from Finland.
Probably none of the above.
ZERO! 🤣🤣
Who was the Trump appointee who gushed that "you've made America a force not to be reckoned with"?
Maybe Waltz was speaking the Drumpf American Dialect
Yeah, talking out his ASS!
The tr💩mp American dialect is
LOGORRHEA.
So many things to turn back and walk back when America becomes America again one day. Not sure if I'll see that in my lifetime. These are very dark days. And only 3 yrs and 8 months to go for another "chance" to take back America.
I now live in Los Angeles. But just came back from a 2 week round trip vacation to visit my folks in deep red Texas. They're somewhat sane compared to others in their toxic state.
But it got worse. I road-tripped down to deep east Texas near the Louisiana state line where I grew up to visit my childhood memory lane. I also, dare i say it, attended a rodeo in Lufkin, Texas where the rodeo announcer told everyone to get ready to "listen to the best song in the entire world". That was followed by pre-recorded version of the national anthem during the opening ceremony.
Play it if you want. It's by far NOT the best song in the world FFS... the brainwashing is rampant in the deep red states. I walked out of that place after 45 minutes. It was too much
Someone should have advised you to not go near Texas. 😜
Don’t worry - I went at my own peril and knew the risks
Protests were great. The judge’s assault on the AEA will be atmospheric precedence. My problem: Deficit spending is blooming. That is on steriods and Republicans offer us only wool for our eyes. Maybe we should not look.

The leadership sees no other way. Trump and the Republicans have no problem with deficit spending especially when tax cuts for wealthy donors are the end. Deficit spending is bipartisan, with the GOP blowing money on tax cuts and military excess, while Democrats try to eradicate income inequality and discrimination. Democrats will direct money to programs that help citizens and the World's suffering.
What pisses me off is that I have watched Rethuglicans since fking Reagan drain our coffers and run up the credit card for stupid, pointless wars of aggression and tax cuts for the rich. NOTHING ELSE! We have NOTHING to show for their decades of reckless spending. Meanwhile, China has been investing in its people and infrastructure and is currently kicking our ass. I hate what Rethuglicans have done to my country. Reverse Robinhood.
Thom Hartmann has had an ongoing challenge for years now whereby he asks that someone tell him one piece of legislation sponsored by a Republican in the last 40 years that actually helped the poor or middle-class. No takers because there isn't any.
They need deficit spending so that when any Democrat suggests spending money to actually help the American people, R's can scream about The Deficit.
Great reference! And look at the surplus! Clinton at his finest!
"Pulling the wool over their eyes."
That's how the used to Shanghai uncooperative sailors.
Oh, Jeff, what would we do without you! Trumpenjugen is as priceless as it is scary.
