so, something I didn't care to write about in my post, but am curious about.

yesterday, Sporky went on CNN and said "I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics."

https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DRHvidLiQ5C

do we believe her? do we forgive her?

(me, I'm a hard 'nah' on both questions)

Brad Yazell's avatar

It's a ploy to save her seat. I'm a hard no also. And added bonus, I actually get to vote against her.

Jan Moon's avatar

Not just no, but HELL no.

Bob Bowden's avatar

Dear A.I., please create a picture showing Liz Cheney giving the MIDDLE TOE to Marjorie Taylor Greene

Pam Humphrey's avatar

I’d pay good money to see that!

Dave the Spot-on Moron's avatar

Thank you for your vote against that twatwaffle. Didn’t she just barely win this last election? Keep up the good work and maybe she’ll finally be gone!

Brad Yazell's avatar

She received 64% of the vote. Nice people in this area. Critical thinking is in short supply though. Her opponent, Shawn Harris, is a local farm owner, former Sergeant in the Marines and an Infantry Commander in Afghanistan. I met him at an event. I voted for him last time. I will again.

steve robertshaw's avatar

I know, it's like, Georgia! Damn. Nice people, till it comes to their prejudices and politics. They're going to vote their prejudices (against blacks or Democrats) every time. Lived there (mostly on southeast coast) for 35 years. I wish you and your neighbors luck.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

For me? I’m a very hard: Fuck No, never trust a kool-aid drunk MAGA.

She just goes where the grift blows.

Susie's avatar

“Goes where the grift blows.” That’s brilliant!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Unity In Defiance's avatar

Haha thank you — I take a bow to you Madame ☺️

If you like my humor check out my writing, I also make wicked original memes you may enjoy 😉

Joyce's avatar

I saw (unfortunately) a quick sound bite of her saying that she wants everybody to be kinder to one another.

Is that the "kinder" where you run after a teenager who survived a mass shooting and screech abuse at him? That was very, very kind, I think.

P123Sunny's avatar

She harassed DAVID HOGG‼️

Susan Niemann's avatar

Yup. She owes him a public apology.

KP Johnson Austin, TX's avatar

And was HORRIBLE to Dr. Fauci.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

Yeah and let’s not forget her holding up a humungous picture of Hunter Biden’s naked body in a Congressional hearing! Isn’t she being challenged for her seat by a retired Brigadier General?

I was about to say something so wrong for a grandmother..

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Hey Patris: AS a grandmother, you now have EARNED the right to say ANY FUCKING THING you choose! I hereby bestow upon you the 'grandmother's right to FUCK with magats' award'. :)

Patris's avatar

I like to think I’ve earned it! Wait - we’ve ALL earned it!

Patricia Gomes's avatar

I’m a great grandmother and I absolutely fucking agree ! 🎯

I was awarded the Grandmothers’ Right to FUCK With MAGAs award by my grandchildren when I went to the first Women’s Fuck You Trump March. I was very fuckin’ honored.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

I absolutely FUCKING love this! :)

Brad Yazell's avatar

Yes. Shawn Harris.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

AND went from harassing David into the Capitol (this as a civilian WITH her now boyfriend - (was he then as well?) wielding his camera to catch every vile second as David said not a word in response, conversing quietly with HIS people only - to SCREAMING into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes' mail-slot ON her office door after TRYING to barge in there, yelling that Alexandria 'needs to put on her big girl panties' among other stupid-as-fuck stuff. Alexandria was NOT there, but her staff was and frightened by this crazy person banging on the door yelling at them! Greene 'somehow' was allowed to wander around showing - on camera, Individuals' names, their offices - all while spewing the NASTIEST bullshit! David was a SURVIVOR of the Parkland School Shooting...had lain on the floor watching his classmates die, so began speaking out about their murders vis-a-vis gun control which caused Greene to single HIM out as her target. He had JUST TURNED 18! She screamed at him in the street about 'how dare HE get an audience with Congress while SHE - 'a business owner and taxpayer could not get an audience with them'. It was only after this that she ran in an UNOPPOSED district for Congress, and of course got elected since no one else's name was on the fucking ballot! She severely traumatized David Hogg for no reason whatsoever I was just beginning to feel a wee bit sorry for her, pondering whether or not she too might have been a 'survivor', but remembering this VILE behaviour brings it all back and removes all doubt. She's monstrous!

From Adam Parkomenko & Sam Youngman

“ Here at AltMedia HQ, we have what’s known as the Conversion Stick. It’s just a regular stick we found in the backyard. But it becomes the Conversion Stick when we put some dog shit on the end of it. Basically, anyone who spent years reveling in the pain of their fellow Americans while wearing a red hat is welcome to leave that gross movement and join us. But they have to lick the poop stick first. And for people who have been kissing nasty orange ass for a decade, it should taste like pumpkin fucking pie.”

Susie's avatar

This is glorious in its visual messaging!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Susan Niemann's avatar

Susan Keefer's avatar

Susan, anyone in Spain talking about Trump?

Also, I need some tapas badly.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Now THAT is so fucking FUNNY!

Pam Humphrey's avatar

Hahahaha! Brilliant, genius and fuckin’ funny.

mary's avatar

Nope. Not a word. She's worried about re-election. And should be because this cover-up will continue. IF Congress votes to order DOJ to release its files, Blondie Bondi will claim they can't because there's a new investigation now underway. Into Democrats. As dRumpy ordered her to undertake. How f'ing clever is that?

DuduLovesBubu's avatar

I thought Legal Blondi concocted an official memo saying there's noone in those Epstein files except Epstein? And now there are pedo Dems in there that need investigating? How about investigating the pedo Republican donors? That's the real story here. Those Republican donor degenerates must be pulling out all the stops behind the scenes to call in their chips on their bought and paid for congressmen. I'd love to hear more about that little development.

P123Sunny's avatar

If we had a Press they’d sort it all out and laugh in their faces

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

S'okay - they're ALL in the Epstein ESTATE FILES! Which Robert Garcia already released in a brilliantly timed move.

Jackie's avatar

Hard no here. Unless she contacts David Hogg & personally apologizes for calling him a fake and then flies to DE and personally apologizes to Biden for yelling “you lie” at the SOTU address, I don’t believe her.

HI2thDoc's avatar

And apologizes to Dr. Fauci too.

HI2thDoc's avatar

She probably has prurient interest in him

David Talbot's avatar

As a members of ACWAFB (American Citizens With Actual Functioning Brains), we have been so starved for anything rational or coherent from these insane morons that we tend to WANT to believe in this kind of fairy tale. I do not, and cannot, but at least I understand why some do. Sporkfoot, kinda like Bigfoot.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

I say we pretend to let her in *just close enough* and then see how she votes. Forgive her? Never. Beat her at her own game - every goddamn time. Seriously - we can't outsmart Space Laser Greene?

Jayme Wolworth's avatar

After years of bending the knee to Trumpism she has come to the realization that, as we've said all along, Trump is loyal to not one living soul and there will come a time that all MAGA will understand that. Hopefully sooner than later.

She has a very powerful voice and since it's working in our favor let's embrace it, but never forget that she has said and done many horrific things. Kinda like Liz Cheney. She can never be fully trusted.

Mary Greenwald's avatar

Neither Greene or Cheney can ever be trusted. Even for a minute. They are Republicans.

P123Sunny's avatar

Sadly Cheney gave an interview where she claimed Dems supported giving abortions ‘AFTER BIRTH’. My g-d

HI2thDoc's avatar

Isn't "after birth abortion" etymologically invalid? Like, "I done et mah fried egg after it done hatched."

Rosemary Orlandi's avatar

"abortions after birth?? yeah, its called "delivery"

P123Sunny's avatar

Or… there are other words?It was a popular talking point for a few years iirc

steve robertshaw's avatar

Is that true? Didn't know that.

P123Sunny's avatar

I think the video of the interview is still out there…

Margaret's avatar

I think this is the interview where Cheney deplores Dems and "post-birth abortion." I couldn't stand to listen to the lies. https://www.facebook.com/foxandfriends/videos/rep-cheney-dems-turn-maternity-ward-to-murder-field/1084075128431295/

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Are you sure? I didn't get that from her at all. I would really like to see that clip or interview? It would assuredly change my opinion - and at the very least make me contact her directly to demand a response.

P123Sunny's avatar

But she got serious name/face recognition in the deal… so there’s that

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Oh, I DO NOT feel that way about Liz Cheney. She CHOSE to buck their system - and frump in a big way - very much unlike Greene. She also has major creds behind her (her book Oath of Honor is right here on my desk), so I'm feeling far more generous to her. My husband is STILL a registered republican although he hasn't voted or behaved as such since Barack Obama appeared on the scene, so that is not a game-changer for me. Actions speak far louder than words imho. Yes, I still have MAJOR issues with Liz - about women's rights and abortion, but her remaining registered as a republican (in hubby's case it's so he can vote AGAINST frump) does not rule her out. SO is Adam Kinzinger and Massie - and they're going against. You can demand purity from MTG - absolutely, that's your choice, but from a woman who was raised by Dick Cheney and then stood up ALL ALONE against frump, I don't feel that's very fair.

Valerie's avatar

A cow caravan joke, a Monty Python classic, and a 'oh helllllll no' on the question of MTG's sincerity. I don't believe her for 1 second. She was told flat out NO by the orange shitstain re: running for GA Senate and she's a woman scorned. Watch out. She's gonna do what she can to burn the place down as Trump falls very very hard.

P123Sunny's avatar

I have 100% confidence in the carefully worded script she’s following (provided by her shiny new oligarch backers*?) 😃⁉️

*change my mind

David Olson's avatar

In some fairness, she like Nancy Mace may have been sexually abused. Hence, her humility and empathy emerges. Good, but saying “I’m sorry” for her previous toxicity doesn’t make it right. Perhaps fitting, she is a pariah in both camps.

Mary Greenwald's avatar

Nope. She said JUST NOW she is understanding those who have been sexually abused. Had she had to endure what those girls have endured, she would not have waited until a big press conference to do the "trump shove to the front of the pack" move.

P123Sunny's avatar

So many of that group have sat back for years and watched others get threats. Amazing

Julie Jennings's avatar

I’m inclined to give her a little grace but I don’t fully trust her for sure. She came out early on the Epstein files. I think she’s finding how MAGA disrespects women in general and especially when they speak up.

P123Sunny's avatar

Like she disrespected Biden at his State of the Union?

In the words of IvankaT: “Find something new”

Cat Cafe's avatar

Absolutely not. She's an unendingly terrible person. The only takeaway from what she's doing is that she's a humanoid barometer, and she seems to be sensing that the winds are shifting away from Trump, and that's interesting.

Lisa's avatar

Ummm… NO! Sporky is a lunatic. Her days in DC are numbered so she’s decided to act non-Qanon. Anyone who swallows her BS is in for a big surprise!

Unity In Defiance's avatar

For all MAGA: If he’s innocent, why would releasing the Epstein files ruin his presidency? 🤔

George in Atlanta's avatar

It comes down to what *he* believes (at the moment). With his about-face on ordering the DOJ to release all the Files, he's telegraphing that he trusts the competence and thoroughness of his stooges to scrub them thoroughly enough that no thread back to him remains. It doesn't matter if they do it with redactions or just fraud, hundreds of people have gone through the material, so far. The truth is coming out. He's just trying to buy time.

Joyce's avatar

Yeah--I figured that today's sudden demand to have the Epstein Files released means that they've been thoroughly altered and edited, so the release will prove every bit of the survivors' stories are "Democrat" hoaxes.

George in Atlanta's avatar

Sure. But that's what he believes, it's not necessarily the case. There's a lot of documentation there, and the journalists going through it will be many times more dedicated and competent that the nitwits selected by Trump for their loyalty. Things will slip through, either through being missed or being called out by 'anonymous sources' when they see it's missing. People will begin coming forward who we haven't heard from before.

CAM from 🇨🇦's avatar

I hope your assumption is correct. I fear the big black sharpie was hard at work all weekend long. And I surmise that holy Mike Johnson was told to scrub the files of references to trumpet the liar in chief.

George in Atlanta's avatar

Actually, my point is that I'm not *making* any assumptions. We don't know what we don't know. With information this volatile, maybe, just maybe, somebody found it expedient to make copies? Photos? Videos? Audio bugs? Extemporaneous notes?

Just a very minor episode indicates the scope and scale of what's there: something in the briefing she got fucked up Nancy Mace all to hell. And that was for a cleared briefing. And Nancy, like all of us, *still* doesn't know what she doesn't know.

Humans are capable of a lot of things. Keeping secrets is not one.

Carol C's avatar

Even if there is no other copy of something that has been redacted, I imagine there are scanning techniques like they used to see what was under the Mona Lisa.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Documentary references to the videos seized from Epstein's hidden cameras will be very embarrassing if no such videos are released even in blurred form. I still think there is a video in there of Trump with a sobbing 13-year-old who has since died under questionable circumstances. I can't think what else would cause such intense desperation to bury these files.

George in Atlanta's avatar

Agreed. I'm looking forward to very embarrassing video and audio that inexplicably *doesn't* exist. They will find themselves being too clever by half.

Robert Eckert's avatar

A more techy version of Nixon explaining that certain tapes under subpoena didn't exist or had been inexplicably erased.

Diana Hembree's avatar

I think he said that because now that he has created a new "case" against Democrats he says are named in the files, the files cannot be released and he knows that. So now he will say, 'I told them, please release the files right now, and they told me, Sir, we can't, because they are involved in a legal investigation, Sir1' It's out of my hands; I wanted them released....

George in Atlanta's avatar

...they'll say "Sir" with tears in their eyes...

arne link's avatar

I'm really afraid that the have been thoroughly scrubbed. There will be no mention of The Perv.

George in Atlanta's avatar

I doubt that. It won't be from lack of trying, but they're not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. My point still stands that there are a shit-ton of loose ends to this whole monkey show. People we've never heard from before who could come forward with their personal stash of receipts. People we already know about, like Michael Wolff, who have yet to be hauled in front of an investigative committee (were the Dems to ever get back a little power for such).

It ain't over. Fat lady's not even warmed up yet.

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

They’ve had more than enough time to scrub them

Unity In Defiance's avatar

He’s also trusting in Pam Bondi being the Fall Guy and take most of — if not all of — the impact for him.

PJ Adk's avatar

He also knows that the doj, with all his cronies, which is now investigating democrats who’ve been mentioned in Epstein docs, will suddenly refuse to release them bc they’re under investigation…

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Exactly! "I really, really wanted to release the files, but the DoJ says no, because they can't do it while there's an investigation. Sorry! I tried for you!"

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Exactly, he also knows how the weeks vote on the discharge petition will go, as many have already mentioned!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Indeed, if he's in favor of releasing the files as he now claims to be, why does he need a Congressional vote? Just release them.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Which he knows will fail in the Senate, anyway.

Pam Humphrey's avatar

He just called for the DOJ to investigate Bill Clinton and other Dems ties to Epstein. That means there is now an ongoing investigation into Epstein and the files can’t be released until it’s done. He thinks he’s so friggin’ smart. Sorry Donnie Dimwit, Epstein is not going away.

DebJS's avatar

Yes indeed - that is buried in the middle of his lengthy TS post: "House Oversight Committee can have whatever they *are legally entitled to*." If nothing else, he can buy a few days' time (up to 2 weeks) before it becomes clear that DOJ is not going to release anything further until the above-mentioned investigations are completed.

Pam Humphrey's avatar

Exactly! Dumbdumb Donnie thinks he’s outsmarted us all. Nope, just the mainstream media.

Clint Opine's avatar

I'm so disgusted with Margaret Brennan. I couldn't believe she started with that question. She also kept braying "Obamacare, Obamacare." never the ACA or Affordable Care Act. When she asked the republican, "Does Obamacare need a reboot?" rather than "Where's this big Obamacare replacement you've been promising for YEARS?" I had to turn her off. That show is now officially down the toilet.

Yeah it’s the same kind of idiotic bullshit they spout about the housing shortage being migrants fault. So we’re supposed to believe now that not only do they bring diseased cows with them but their pockets are loaded with enough cash to buy a median priced home in the US($400,000+). Sure fools.

Last year President Biden sold $12 billion worth of soybeans to China. From his very good friend whom he knows very very well, and respects Trump bigly, Xi bought nary a bean from this year’s bumper crop. While chiding farmers and ranchers to “be more grateful,” Trump’s boxed Argentinian beef features a new attraction: foot-and-mouth spores.

Pere Ubu's avatar

If it says "spores" on the package, it's gotta be good! 👍

Seriously, nothing good EVER comes from "spores".

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Trump did, my neighbors aren’t particularly happy about it…everyone down here voted for that cretinous wastrel, their heads are hanging a lot lower these days Eva!

Susan Kemp's avatar

I sure hope that beef from Argentina will be labeled as such or it will be more chicken for me. Yuk!

Leslie Goodman-Malamuth's avatar

Legally foreign meat has to be labeled. At least it did when I was food-writing during Reagan II. I just squicked myself with the phrase “foreign meat.”

Over the hills and through the woods, to Grandpa Befuddlepants' house we go! Driving our herds of diseased cattle ahead of us, right across the Rio Grande and down the main drag of Nogales. Those sly boots immigrants snuck 'em right through to Montana. And then they bought up all the houses.

The End

Joyce's avatar

Well, DUH--we're not going to eat our diseased cattle. That, by the way, we're not going to sell: we just sneak them into the gringo ranchers' herds and take a barn cat on the way out as a snack before we meet the Democrat real estate agent.

The asshole is not even wrong. If the illegal hordes brought cattle with them they - the critters that is - would have to eat. And that would wind up driving up the demand for cattle feed, including soybeans.

Now that they’re finally realizing that the release of the files is inevitable, I’m REALLY, REALLY afraid that someone is fucking with them as we speak, and that Donny’s name is disappearing from those files as quickly as that hole in his ear.

Abigail Norling's avatar

I suspect that every maga name has been permanently removed from any existing "files."

Sharon C Storm's avatar

Don’t forget that Maureen Comey prosecuted Gislaine Maxwell, and is therefore quite familiar with all of those files. There are also others who have seen them during the preparation for the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein before he died.

Maureen Comey should get a therapist to put on the record that she is most definitely NOT suicidal!

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

MAGA will discredit Comey as they have discredited anyone who dare speaks truth

Sharon C Storm's avatar

MAGA is only about 20% of voters. So what if they try to discredit her? The rest of us will get the information, and I suspect that even maga doesn’t support pedophilia.

They'll tolerate it, as long as mango man tells them to.

Steve in SoCal's avatar

I think it's a bridge too far even for them. The only ppl who support pedophilia are pedophiles.

I've also read that tRump is calling for a new investigation into the files, and if he gets that to happen then the files can't be released, they'll be 'evidence'.

Gotta be a Bondi idea.

Organizations run by Merrick Garland and Pamela Jo Bondi couldn’t turn up in their back yards a dead body in an open shallow grave. I’ll bet on the Epstein estate documents.

Bessent really does have an imaginative take on what the border looks like. And what people are likely to swallow.

Soyboy Scotty, horny-handed son o’ toil, earns at least $1 million a year on leased North Dakota farmland whether crops are sold or fail.

Horny handed? Damn I thought I was about to learn Mr Living it up in a pink Barbie House was getting handy with the fellas. His boss seems to love giving blow jobs. Let's get all the salacious details of this administration's "fraternizing with the fellas" out there.

Soyboy LARPing is so meta! as JD says Bessent Dream House, I now call them. One Xmas my sister got two of them because she couldn’t decide. I got a festively wrapped dishwasher box with a pair of socks in it, my own Charlie Brown Halloween. My first shrink dropped his meerschaum and stared.

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time springs to mind:

I grew up on a small farm in the Midwest where we raised beef cattle, and I literally just had a conversation with my 81 yo dad yesterday about beef prices. He said that the recent spike in prices was largely weather-related, because wildfires and such destroyed a lot of grazing land. So, climate change! Also, because beef prices are so high right now, a lot of cattle farmers/ranchers are choosing to sell more heifers for slaughter, which will reduce the supply of cattle in the future (heifers are girl cattle who haven’t given birth; generally speaking, both heifers and steers (boy cattle that have been castrated) are sold for slaughter somewhere between 1 1/2 - 2 years old, when they are fully grown but not yet too old to the point that beef gets too tough, and also you don’t want to keep expending resources to feed them). Bottom line, if more heifers are being sold for beef, then they aren’t becoming cows who turn out a calf every year. Supply then decreases, raising prices.

Dad did say that there’s been a screw-worm infestation in Mexico, which has resulted in bans on imported beef from Mexico, which has contributed to higher beef prices. But it’s not the case that undocumented immigrants are “bringing” diseased cattle with them. Without proper fencing, cattle will migrate all on their own, because they don’t understand or care about concepts like “borders” - they just go where the grass is.

And this has been your TED Talk from 2Cats about why beef prices have really gone up. 😺😺

That was actually really helpful, 2Cats. Certainly way more edifying than Soybean Scott. 👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣

Admittedly a low bar, but I’m glad I cleared it.

As was demonstrated with the Jimmy Kimmel affair, there is only one way to respond to sell-out media companies: BOYCOTT. Seriously, show your outrage. 60 Minutes was an institution. Now it’s gutted. This was the home of Ed Murrow and Walter Cronkite, for Christs sake. Colbert has been a brilliant successor to David Letterman. Now CBS Fox Lite. All because one nepo-oligarch wanted a fat check from a right-wing tech oligarch, who made the network a new toy for his son.

Seriously, after all that CBS/Paramount/SkyDick has done to degrade and corrupt CBS, they deserve a permanent boycott of all their media offerings, including sports and streaming content.

I agree. Trump moved on the Epstein issue as he’s trying to cover the internal insurrection. Trump has gotten by with lying, making stuff up his whole life. It’s disconcerting for him when even Marjorie Taylor Greene no longer buys what he’s selling.

I’m sorry, call me a deviant(I’m 74 year old woman)but I think the full Epstein files will tell as disgusting a story as it’s possible to imagine. Trump raped children, he invested in trafficking, money laundering&God know what the pictures show.

I’m not saying there are no Democrats involved. I think the common denominators are wealth&power, not political ties

Bessent. He simply must pen a children’s book about the amazing tale of South American cattle dragging their migrant humans north to the land of White Male freedom.

Just two days ago, that ass-kissing Congressman from Texas, Troy Nehls, posted on the Nazi Bar that he was voting “No” to release the “Epstein Hoax” (his words) documents. Now that his Leader has reversed course, any bets on how Nehls will vote?

Best. Use. Of Monty Python Holy Grail gif. EVER.

But I don't think that's how diseased cattle are getting into the US.

I think they're coming here on Venezuelan motorboats.

Thank gawd Pete Kegsbreath is on it!
