I'm not much of a flag waver, myself, as I've always felt that flag waving is a sign of misplaced nationalism: better to pledge allegiance to the Constitution. But I am thinking of buying a flag so I can fly it at half staff on inauguration day.
Arne, Melania says she's staying in NYC to support Barron, freshman in college. Even tho, as First Lady, who reportedly follows political news more than turd, she may be sketching out WH renovations to finally collect on "heez whill". 🪟🪟🪟🪟
how quickly people and institutions bow down. I used to wonder how ridiculous rulers were supported by presumably 'normal' people, and now we're getting a real-life real-time demonstration
I cancelled WaPo last year when they brought in Will Lewis, former Murdoch crony to run the place hard to the right and consequently fire a bunch of people. I drop in and check the headlines and they are still at it:
Of course, do they mention his Xhitter ravings are complete lies and he's been identified as the greatest source of misinformation and propaganda on his own platform?
We won’t allow him because according to the internet, half staff is American English and everybody knows that we speak Canadian English, a dialect of the British English. Sheesh 🙄
In my 1956 elementary school in Maryland, we learned that soon the U.S. would adopt the metric system. We saw a filmstrip about it.
Our teacher, who was prevented by her gender from using her law degree to work in a law firm, must have been a “radical left lunatic” pinko Commie. Think! To have even suggested that our country (Country) would surrender our God-given right to our Exceptional inches, miles, acres, ounces, pounds, gallons!
I actually like the weird old system, which was based on real things (feet, hands, arms, cups, barrels) as opposed to the coldly logical French metric, based on the diameter of the earth. Especially liked the fine-grading of Fahrenheit instead of the coarse centigrade.
I remember that so well. I was so excited! We were living in Virginia and were moving to Rhode Island, which turned out NOT to be an island at all, and was measured in feet. We were robbed:)
But inches will learn you your fractions! Which is greater, 11/16 or 2/3? Huh, huh? You metric people get no mental exercise if I ask you which is greater, 0.6 or 0.59?
we do? well, we got a lot fewer ships ... tho one of the longest coastlines I imagine...and the whole of it will be nicely available as global HEATING THE HELL UP continues
There was a lot of that stupidity going on in the places I checked out yesterday. Staff for land; Mast for sea. Shouldn’t bee too hard to figure out but then, it’s maga.
That idiot Bruce Blakeman had his Facebook Page BLOWN UP with criticism over the flag stunt. The Republicans fail to see who childish, petty and unprofessional they are when they pull this kind of crap. There isnt a decent statesman among them. Not one.
And....thank for bringing back the 49 word descriptor. Hilarious! 😂😂
In GOP land, worshipping an amoral criminal is standard, while disrespecting a decent, admired figure who was a Democrat is also standard. It goes without saying that decent people are mostly not repubes
Charles, thank you for the HU. Someone here said we must challenge every slip up, call, email, & let them know they don't automatically win all the time. Betcha that mgr is maga. CS gal said Sheetz daily email to all mgrs DID include instructions to lower flags in honor of Jimmy Carter's passing.
Ok, I ordered the pirate flag. I will fly it proudly on inauguration day. I vow to put it out whenever something awful happens. That probably means that it will be flying into perpetuity. All good, it's lighted.
Charles, Sheetz CS line could not find a Grove City location. Could u pls clarify? CS Asked for street location too. She said with more specific info "we will contact them right away". As soon as we get info, will post CS # here.
Found "Grove City, OH" Sheetz listed as 3173 Centerpoint Dr., Urbancrest, OH. Mgr said no instructions had been rec'd re: flags at half staff. 24/7 365 CS:
They are still angry, even after they won President, House, Senate and of course, the Supreme Court. Two of his biggest fans just commited suicide and mass murder. Buckle up Susan, it's going to be a bumpy ride. ❤️ to you in MO!
They were mentally ill war veterans. Thanks to the VA for not getting them proper healthcare due to what they saw, what they participated in, and the amount of people they killed.
Marlene I didnt mean the two involved in New Orleans and Las Vegas... I mean the rest of the people who voted for this madness. I realize the two men had serious issues and it's horrible they didnt get the help they needed. ✌️
I’m pissed that the news won’t refer to the Las Vegas white man trump supporter as a terrorist. After finding his notes saying all Democrats should be killed, it WAS a terrorist attack!! Just because no innocent bystanders were killed doesn’t discount that fact
Anyone else out there wishing, hoping and praying for a blizzard.. “the likes of which has never been seen before” to start around noon the day before the inauguration burying DC and the eastern US in 4 or 5 feet of snow? A girl can dream can’t she?
I could turn on our water, sleet and snow faucets all at once. He won’t know what him him. He’ll just stand there spewing shit about god and how nasty he can be to the chosen one.
Blizzard that takes out every single microphone, camera, cell. And the peeps that attend turn backs to the master convict poopy pants imitation of a human being!
Dream? No, we Democrats can make that a reality! All we have to do is fire up our weather machines. 4-5 feet of snow is nothing compared to that hurricane we ran through N.C.
I can’t believe that I’m not the 2 thousandth person to read and comment on this post. You’re the first thing that I want to read every morning, but usually I end up here way later than everyone else. Just want to say, Jeff, I’m a longtime follower and pleased to repost your content frequently on BlueSky. My mother had a lot of little sayings that she repeated, but one that has saved my sanity is: “Don’t lose your sense of humor”. Thanks for helping me out with that 😘
I used to make myself read all my other emails before reading Jeff's, but then I decided 'why wait'? Now I dive in and read his column (and eat desserts) first. Age bestows the occasional privilege.
The only comfort I get in the impending Reign of Chaos that Commander Crazy Pants is about to inflict on this Nation is the fact that Jeff Tiedrich's articles will bring light to every utterance of lies, every blunder of protocol and absolute crass behavior from a diaper wearing man-child.
It brings some levity to what we are anticipating to be a non-stop shit-show for the next 4 years, thank you Jeff.
I've got a feeling there will be many, many fund efforts set up for defending any frivolous charges these idiots start throwing at literally hundreds of people, whose problems will all be related to paying lawyers not for an initial court appearance where frivolous charges will be dismissed out of hand, but for the subsequent 'appeals' the trumpies will bring following their initial rejection in court. Trump's go-to move for the last 50 years, beginning in 1973(!), has been filing frivolous lawsuits and then either dropping it if the victim fights back (which still costs attorney fees) or hoping the victim gets scared enough to just concede to his demands (usually it involved breaking or renogotiating a contract to let trump skip paying a fair price for work done). Neither Jeff nor anyone else will ever need to be "set free", but the nuisance charges against anybody trump points at will cost money to be dismissed. God Damn this asshole.
If Judge Murchan had even the most remote sense of irony (and fair play) he would sentence Orange Caligula to a day of picking-up garbage with a roadside chain gang. The orange vest would complement his face and "hair." Also, as a former denizen of the Isle of Long I can safely say that any random county in Georgia, Florida and Mississippi got NOTHING on Nassau and Suffolk counties. Stupid is as stupid does. Repeat as necessary. Finally, a new nickname presents itself: DON Quixote, for always tilting at windfalls.
I just checked. My buckle is buckled by another, expertly-crafted buckle. I do believe the buckles will hold. The strap is triple-strength certified tougher than tendons. I’m ready. (I mean, of course, I’m not ready but one has to steel one’s resolve). I has my books. I has my friends. My spouse puts up with me. My kids like me. I’m ready.
Your opening sentence says it all! I had junior high kids in school that “grew up” …this apparently never happened to LDFF. Shouldn’t something be done about NOT lowering the flags in Nassau County???? Windmills…windfall….well…same diff. OMG
We all need to get busy finding stuff that needs to be examined/fixed/addressed/adjudicated that nobody anywhere ever thought would be a problem or be questioned because everybody was sane and intelligent. 'Tain't so anymore. This country has ratcheted down several rungs on the "smart" scale.
Jesus carrying an AR-14 and swathed in a mammoth ammunition belt is their version of "patriotism." They'll slap flag stickers all over their shitty trucks and make Old Glory into a pair of boxer shorts, but comprehending historical traditions and protocols is too much for their chicken-fried brains.
My sixth grade teacher made sure we all were indoctrinated with flag etiquette. I just shake my head when I walk by these uber-MAGA places where the country's flag is still flying in the rain....or in the pitch dark with no light on it.
Tess, the Blakeman dude is getting an earful on his Facebook page, if it's any consolation. It just shows how petty and shitty Republicans can be.... make that 'are'. 😡
His office is being flooded as well, for those who don’t swear fealty to what was once the largest intel gathering site! When Zuck bowed low to the space nazi Susan!!
Or fly it upside down which would be entirely appropriate.
On a related note, 21 states have not certified their election results to the National Archives as of yesterday which is unusual since tomorrow is when this needs to be done.
What a horse's ass Trump is. Can't read, mistakes windfall for windmills.
Does this idiot not know that hundreds of years ago the Dutch began using Windmills & polders & dams to create irrigable land for farmland? The windmills at Kinderdijk, built in 1738, are still in use today. Hey Donald - the Dutch - the same folks who bought Manhattan from the indigenous people & who set up our first monetary policies and our banking system. People a lot smarter than you, Donald.
The view out my living room window was obscured by a Nazi colored Trump flag under old glory until last week, asking the redneck to lower it to half staff, knowing the arsenal of weapons he possesses, I’ve only hinted at historical traditions Kay-EI!!
I am bigly frustrated here. Will he never pay for any of his crimes? Who gives a flying FUCK if we never sentenced a sitting president to prison when we've never had a crime boss of this magnitude before??
I am so tired of these lawyer-pundits telling me that all is well, that donnie getting away with EVERYTHING is still consistent with "the rule of law." Joyce Vance pissed me off so much yesterday , with her attempt to convince me that Judge Merchan was doing his duty, the "punishment" (such as it is) is all he can do, and that donald would be "embarrassed" forever to be known as a felon. Big fucking deal. I canceled Joyce's Substack last night, I am so angry at the sanewashing of this "justice" system.
Thank you for tolerating my screed. I've reached the endpoint of my patience.
Hi Jeff, I was reading about a correlation between the Tesla Terrorist and Timothy Mc Veigh. It seems both were heavily influenced by the fictional Turner Diaries where the “hero protagonist” dies for his cause, as we have seen in both instances. Also on another subject we see the Italian PM Maloni visiting Mar el Lardo.. This is the same person who has praised Mussolini, matter of fact her party ‘s newspaper named Mussolini “Person of the Year” this year. Churchill wrote the 5 volume history of WWII, one with the title of The Gathering Storm…. We are there fellow travelers… Best to All.
Yes, Ms Malone was there and the only thing the little fat man could say was: “she’s fantastic. Can someone please help him out with his lack of vocabulary.
Rudy said that she was there to see him! Hard to say when there are so many frat boys living at Marlardo. It's like a homeless shelter for mindless fucks.
She belongs to the modern interaction of Mussolini's party. Ruth BenGhiat is an expert on Italian Fascism. She's written extensively on Merloni and her party.
My god, and this is the imbecile 70-some million other imbeciles just elected president! Every other country on earth is laughing at us. The US is going to be a total embarrassment for the next 4 years.
Even if he doesn’t totally crash the country, I don’t know if we can ever live this down.
He uses it all the time to accuse his accusers. Nobody ever explained what conflicts. Torn between evidence and Donny’s version, perhaps? One judge NOT conflicted: Aileen Cannon.
fun fact: it's "half-staff" for flag on land, "half-mast" for flags on ships. now you can be like me, and smugly watch everyone else get it wrong
THANK YOU for the clarification as my sweetheart and I had a slightly terse disagreement about that. I WAS RIGHT! 😂😂
I'm not much of a flag waver, myself, as I've always felt that flag waving is a sign of misplaced nationalism: better to pledge allegiance to the Constitution. But I am thinking of buying a flag so I can fly it at half staff on inauguration day.
I just bought a pirate flag and I intend to fly it on inauguration day. This is thanks to someone lower in the post suggesting it.
I have a cow flag I could fly for the next four years.
In honor of Devin Nunes.
I’m gonna fly mine upside down at half staff.
As will our family
I imagine Mrs. Alito will be flying certain flags. Like big ones.
Something with a nazi theme or symbol?
Nothing about them would surprise me.
Most likely.
Or upside down
Upside down would be more appropriate.
Great idea!
😂
As one who sailed ~30,000+ miles around oceans on battleships and destroyers, I recognized that, too.
I’ve clarified that on other Substacks because I have a copy of the flag code included in my copy of the U. S. Constitution.
Surely it wasn’t a Trump-approved Constitution, was it?
Yep- first he wants to fornicate with the flag, and then he wants to divorce himself from it. Sounds like Melanie’s wish about him.
Melanie is just waiting for flags to be flown at half-staff for him.
Arne, Melania says she's staying in NYC to support Barron, freshman in college. Even tho, as First Lady, who reportedly follows political news more than turd, she may be sketching out WH renovations to finally collect on "heez whill". 🪟🪟🪟🪟
Fuck….melaniac is as much a shit show as the mango moron!
True that! 😂😂😂
The Washington Post censored a dynamite Anne Telnaes cartoon.
🧨🧨🧨🧨 DON'T MISS THIS!!! 💥💥💥💥💥
https://anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-quitting-the-washington-post
Michael De Adder drew a ripping cartoon on the cowardice of the Washington Post in refusing to run Anne Telnaes' cartoon.
https://deadder.substack.com/p/all-the-presidents-men
Just read Mark Cuban suggested that Bluesky hire her and she could keep up her good work without fear of it being rejected.
She’s on Substack now.
how quickly people and institutions bow down. I used to wonder how ridiculous rulers were supported by presumably 'normal' people, and now we're getting a real-life real-time demonstration
Michael De Adder. His cartoons are brilliant.
Thanks for the link, Kathleen. Brilliant response from De Adder!
I cancelled WaPo last year when they brought in Will Lewis, former Murdoch crony to run the place hard to the right and consequently fire a bunch of people. I drop in and check the headlines and they are still at it:

HAHAHAHA nope! Man, those sanewashers have been working overtime since 2020... they must be exhausted.
yes, Muskrat the Immigrant wants to boss the whole world! 🤮🤮🤮
I did the same. When my subscription finally ran out in December, I was deluged with offers to renew for $1 a week or a month (I forget).
It's not the money, it's the principle. But WaPo wouldn't know abou that, since they have no principles.
Oh! Those are good. Someone (the authors) should print them and sell them! I foresee a real growth industry for material like this!
Actually, Michael De Adder now derives 40% of his income from his substack. Telnaes has a substack with even more subscribers than De Adder.
DeAdder sells prints. I think Ms. Telnaes does as well.
Brilliant and brave
Brilliant
Like
I think that pathetic mushroom of his has neither a discernable staff nor a mast, and raising it is out of the question.
It's why I call him fat FUNGUS (45) 47.
I doubt he could raise anything at this point.
Like the Colour of your jib Bob!!
It’s the set of his jib as they are all naturally sailcloth colored.
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Interesting tidbit for you today. Canada only uses the term “half mast”, whether flag is on land or at sea.
yeah well once Donny invades you guys, he's gonna put an end to that shit
We won’t allow him because according to the internet, half staff is American English and everybody knows that we speak Canadian English, a dialect of the British English. Sheesh 🙄
Well, a few years of despotic American rule will cure you of your dialectic deficiencies. /s
Yeah - it’s a travesty that my speedometer also lists kilometers! I’m so confused!
Unless one is in Quebec and then all bets are off. 🇨🇦🏴🇺🇸
In Quebec they fly their flags at demitasse
Touché! Even though I don’t live in Quebec, my coffee can only be served in a demi-tasse.
Allons-y
😂😂😂😂🇨🇦
we'll befuddle y'all with our hybrid measuring system
In my 1956 elementary school in Maryland, we learned that soon the U.S. would adopt the metric system. We saw a filmstrip about it.
Our teacher, who was prevented by her gender from using her law degree to work in a law firm, must have been a “radical left lunatic” pinko Commie. Think! To have even suggested that our country (Country) would surrender our God-given right to our Exceptional inches, miles, acres, ounces, pounds, gallons!
Gosh, filmstrips...that brings back memories.
Doesn’t it though 😂?
I actually like the weird old system, which was based on real things (feet, hands, arms, cups, barrels) as opposed to the coldly logical French metric, based on the diameter of the earth. Especially liked the fine-grading of Fahrenheit instead of the coarse centigrade.
Never give an inch!
I remember that so well. I was so excited! We were living in Virginia and were moving to Rhode Island, which turned out NOT to be an island at all, and was measured in feet. We were robbed:)
😂
I remember that. Didn't get why I had to learn metric system.
But Trump's first act will be to take those French words off all the signs.
Many of us use Metric System here for measuring its more efficient, and forces young apprentices to think Gina!!
But inches will learn you your fractions! Which is greater, 11/16 or 2/3? Huh, huh? You metric people get no mental exercise if I ask you which is greater, 0.6 or 0.59?
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣
we do? well, we got a lot fewer ships ... tho one of the longest coastlines I imagine...and the whole of it will be nicely available as global HEATING THE HELL UP continues
Yup. We can just keep moving North until you can get a suntan at the pole.
👁️👁️
There was a lot of that stupidity going on in the places I checked out yesterday. Staff for land; Mast for sea. Shouldn’t bee too hard to figure out but then, it’s maga.
Never thought about that but yes, of course, it totally makes sense. Thanks, Jeff!
Excellent 👌 thanks very much !! 🙏 I love this kind of simple clarification !
That idiot Bruce Blakeman had his Facebook Page BLOWN UP with criticism over the flag stunt. The Republicans fail to see who childish, petty and unprofessional they are when they pull this kind of crap. There isnt a decent statesman among them. Not one.
And....thank for bringing back the 49 word descriptor. Hilarious! 😂😂
You know it's going to be a good day when Jeff's column begins with the Donny Convict Riff ©️.
Thats the truth! 🤣🤣
A useful memory aid. So many things to be remembered!
Rarely imitated, never duplicated.
Jeff should sell t-shirts.
How many turd descriptors in his post today would fit in a T-shirt. Use the sleeves too
Front, back, sleeves, inside.....
Another growth industry!
In GOP land, worshipping an amoral criminal is standard, while disrespecting a decent, admired figure who was a Democrat is also standard. It goes without saying that decent people are mostly not repubes
You are so right. These people have no soul, no moral standards, and no decency.
They do not, but like to claim the moral high ground and act like they are above the rest of us
Fuck them!!!😡
So many of them are openly religious, too. Jesus talked about not being a hypocrite. They must have missed that lesson.
And not to wear their faith on their sleeves. That's working out real well.
They worship antichrist. Whatever Jesus taught, they do opposite.
Why? Because they said so.
Repubes. Good one. Perfect place to grow a flaccid mushroom.
I have a Sheetz in Grove City that still has it's flag at full staff. I've asked nicely twice...😡😡
Email their home office. https://orders.sheetz.com/contact These f'ing people....
Well let's see if Sheetz keeps it up, and how many decent Americans never darken their treasonous doors again!
All the other Sheetz that I've seen have lowered theirs. That wouldn't be as much fun as embarrassing the manager.😈😂
Chas, "Grove City" shows up as Urbancrest, OH. 24/7 365 CS 800-765-4686
Let's ALL CALL!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your info paid off. I drove by the Sheetz in question at 4:30pm. The flag was lowered. Good flex, people! 💪💪
Charles, thank you for the HU. Someone here said we must challenge every slip up, call, email, & let them know they don't automatically win all the time. Betcha that mgr is maga. CS gal said Sheetz daily email to all mgrs DID include instructions to lower flags in honor of Jimmy Carter's passing.
That's the one!
Absolutely 💯 I’ve put a reminder on my calendar to call tomorrow AM
Nah, they want to collect too much personal info just to make a comment to them. Never know how these clowns would use it.
Munchy, no personal info if call CS
It will be interesting to see how many flags will remain flying high when fuckface buys the farm.
Maybe we should all fly pirate flags on Inauguration Day as a protest.
Or hang the American flag upside down in the universal distress sign
Ok, I ordered the pirate flag. I will fly it proudly on inauguration day. I vow to put it out whenever something awful happens. That probably means that it will be flying into perpetuity. All good, it's lighted.
Ooooh, I like your style. I have to order a pirate flag right now. Of course, I have to use Amazon. Gaak.
I just binged "Black Sails" on Netflix. That's a great idea! 🙂
That was a great series, just great. I might watch it again.
It's the prequel for "Treasure Island".
My Dad was a bombardier in WWII. The squad he flew in was the Jolly Rogers. I have a tat of the tail art from his plane on my leg.
You go, Dad.
I will wear my "NEED to IMPEACH" socks from 2020.
Betcha half the wine stores in the country will run out of champagne when he buys it.
Bubbly, booze and in some places, lots of fireworks.
Pants optional, vodka mandatory
I think I will lay in a supply, just to be ready. I hope it won't be long,,,
Oh, happy day!!! Come soon…
I know a Sheetz - I'll let them know.
That's Butler County for you...

If you meditate on those Nine Million Names you just might float away to Nirvana.
They are still angry, even after they won President, House, Senate and of course, the Supreme Court. Two of his biggest fans just commited suicide and mass murder. Buckle up Susan, it's going to be a bumpy ride. ❤️ to you in MO!
These people are insane!!!!! 😂
Straight out of the DSM-5 Susan!!
They were mentally ill war veterans. Thanks to the VA for not getting them proper healthcare due to what they saw, what they participated in, and the amount of people they killed.
Marlene I didnt mean the two involved in New Orleans and Las Vegas... I mean the rest of the people who voted for this madness. I realize the two men had serious issues and it's horrible they didnt get the help they needed. ✌️
I’m pissed that the news won’t refer to the Las Vegas white man trump supporter as a terrorist. After finding his notes saying all Democrats should be killed, it WAS a terrorist attack!! Just because no innocent bystanders were killed doesn’t discount that fact
Hey! I can point to a camel. Do I get in the Cabinet? Also, luv the 49-adjective riff!
You would not want to be in THAT cabinet!!
If I could hang around for 6 months, I'd have one hell of a best seller to write.
Another growth industry. My Experiences in the Cabinet.
Agreed Dave, it’s hard to figure who will be the last one standing there!!
Probably not but a much better choice than the imbeciles that the unfit felon has selected.
Of course not. "Statesman"? "Republican"? They can't be compared, except to say those two are complete opposites.
Man, thats the truth. And people keep voting for these vile people. 😡

Anyone else out there wishing, hoping and praying for a blizzard.. “the likes of which has never been seen before” to start around noon the day before the inauguration burying DC and the eastern US in 4 or 5 feet of snow? A girl can dream can’t she?
I’ll make sure to send some your way along with a strong north wind coming from 🇨🇦 polar vortex. Well fix him, and we’ll fix him good!
Turn that polar vortex faucet! 🥶😂😂
I could turn on our water, sleet and snow faucets all at once. He won’t know what him him. He’ll just stand there spewing shit about god and how nasty he can be to the chosen one.
Cam, do it! Time it to hit DC at 11:30 am Inaug Day! 💨💦🥶❄️☃️🌫️☔💧🌪️🌀
🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see HUGE MLK celebrations followed by celebratory college football championship crowds on the 20th.
Blizzard that takes out every single microphone, camera, cell. And the peeps that attend turn backs to the master convict poopy pants imitation of a human being!
FINGERS CROSSED!!!
But Drumpf would still say his crowd was the biggest there ever was…
Raw Story reported that MTG is shooting off her mouth and filling her boxer shorts over the possibility of deep snow. My fingers are crossed!
The last act of those "Democrat Space Lasers." Dumping snow on The Chosen One's coronation.
Why is she complaining? She can wear her awful Cruella de Ville coat to the festivities.
With her pipe bomb Nikes.
Whaddya mean? We commie libs control the weather, remember? No prayers to the heavens needed.
I’d prefer a hurricane finding its way up the Potomac Patricia, but a poorly equipped DC area would need to shutter either way!!
YES, 👏 I wish that with all of my being
😂😂😂
Dream? No, we Democrats can make that a reality! All we have to do is fire up our weather machines. 4-5 feet of snow is nothing compared to that hurricane we ran through N.C.
Throw in some lightening and it’s a keeper.

Until our Jeff is sent to prison on some Trumped-up charges...
If they go after Jeff, I would be proud to support a defense fund to set him free.
I've got a feeling there will be many, many fund efforts set up for defending any frivolous charges these idiots start throwing at literally hundreds of people, whose problems will all be related to paying lawyers not for an initial court appearance where frivolous charges will be dismissed out of hand, but for the subsequent 'appeals' the trumpies will bring following their initial rejection in court.

No pun intended?
They touch Jeff and I'll be protesting with every cell in my body. The idiots want us to remain quiet and not question their lunacy...
Yes, thank you Jeff
I’m inspired and will go with Captain Crazy Crap-Pants. Alliteration you know.

The national debt could be paid with the ticket-selling profits of that spectacle!

In Suffolk County, NY.
Now that we know, Long Island will never live it down. Kind of like California and Japanese internment camps.
Derek, good info. Thx
😳😳😳
MSNBC aired a documentary about the German American Bund & those “summer camps” back in the 1930s
There is that Derek!!
🤣
I just checked. My buckle is buckled by another, expertly-crafted buckle. I do believe the buckles will hold. The strap is triple-strength certified tougher than tendons. I’m ready. (I mean, of course, I’m not ready but one has to steel one’s resolve). I has my books. I has my friends. My spouse puts up with me. My kids like me. I’m ready.
We have work to do.
Your opening sentence says it all! I had junior high kids in school that “grew up” …this apparently never happened to LDFF. Shouldn’t something be done about NOT lowering the flags in Nassau County???? Windmills…windfall….well…same diff. OMG
what's to be done? there's no criminal penalty for ignoring a half-staff order in New York. no one imagined it would be necessary
We all need to get busy finding stuff that needs to be examined/fixed/addressed/adjudicated that nobody anywhere ever thought would be a problem or be questioned because everybody was sane and intelligent. 'Tain't so anymore. This country has ratcheted down several rungs on the "smart" scale.
The anti-intellectualism beginnings can be debated, except when mentioning Reagan Linda!!
Ronnie Raygun started this shit.
Jesus carrying an AR-14 and swathed in a mammoth ammunition belt is their version of "patriotism." They'll slap flag stickers all over their shitty trucks and make Old Glory into a pair of boxer shorts, but comprehending historical traditions and protocols is too much for their chicken-fried brains.
My sixth grade teacher made sure we all were indoctrinated with flag etiquette. I just shake my head when I walk by these uber-MAGA places where the country's flag is still flying in the rain....or in the pitch dark with no light on it.
Ms. Elsie Wirt would be properly horrified!
It's a Boy Scout thing too.
Jesus H Christ
Jesus is busy, applying for citizenship in another galaxy far, far away.
Love it!!!
Not illegal - just really, really tacky.
An ass kicking comes to mind.😈😈
It would seem that a little midnight rope cutting could solve the problem. Note that I am advocating vandalism, not violence.
With the MAGAts, it’s always a race to the bottom (of decency).
Tess, the Blakeman dude is getting an earful on his Facebook page, if it's any consolation. It just shows how petty and shitty Republicans can be.... make that 'are'. 😡
His office is being flooded as well, for those who don’t swear fealty to what was once the largest intel gathering site! When Zuck bowed low to the space nazi Susan!!
1. Windmills, windfalls, who cares, as long as it drives the Orange Fuckwit crazy.
2. Same with flags at half-staff. If I had a flagpole at my house, I’d keep it that way for 4 years.
Or fly it upside down which would be entirely appropriate.
On a related note, 21 states have not certified their election results to the National Archives as of yesterday which is unusual since tomorrow is when this needs to be done.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if that made it impossible to close out the election until they certify, so Biden would remain in place until that happened?
1. Hmmmm, yes, the RWNJ did that for Biden. Tit for tat.
2. Holding off the pain until the last minute.
What a horse's ass Trump is. Can't read, mistakes windfall for windmills.
Does this idiot not know that hundreds of years ago the Dutch began using Windmills & polders & dams to create irrigable land for farmland? The windmills at Kinderdijk, built in 1738, are still in use today. Hey Donald - the Dutch - the same folks who bought Manhattan from the indigenous people & who set up our first monetary policies and our banking system. People a lot smarter than you, Donald.
The view out my living room window was obscured by a Nazi colored Trump flag under old glory until last week, asking the redneck to lower it to half staff, knowing the arsenal of weapons he possesses, I’ve only hinted at historical traditions Kay-EI!!
I imagine his knowledge of history, let alone traditions, fits on the head of a pin, Patrick.
What a hideous sight to have to see every day.
Run up a pirate flag.
Aye, aye
The flags are also at half-staff because of the death of democracy.
Nice!
Best entire first paragraph EVER!!
I am bigly frustrated here. Will he never pay for any of his crimes? Who gives a flying FUCK if we never sentenced a sitting president to prison when we've never had a crime boss of this magnitude before??
NEVER … is the key word here. Teflon Donnyboy gets away with EVERYTHING
According to Joyce Vance, this is all in aid of the preservation of the rule of law. IDK.
I am so tired of these lawyer-pundits telling me that all is well, that donnie getting away with EVERYTHING is still consistent with "the rule of law." Joyce Vance pissed me off so much yesterday , with her attempt to convince me that Judge Merchan was doing his duty, the "punishment" (such as it is) is all he can do, and that donald would be "embarrassed" forever to be known as a felon. Big fucking deal. I canceled Joyce's Substack last night, I am so angry at the sanewashing of this "justice" system.
Thank you for tolerating my screed. I've reached the endpoint of my patience.
It pissed me off too. Lawyers need to work to improve our legal system, not tell us it's ok when justice fails.
Sometimes I say fuck the law. Our judicial system needs a serious tune-up.
Absolutely correct That’s no!!
Hi Jeff, I was reading about a correlation between the Tesla Terrorist and Timothy Mc Veigh. It seems both were heavily influenced by the fictional Turner Diaries where the “hero protagonist” dies for his cause, as we have seen in both instances. Also on another subject we see the Italian PM Maloni visiting Mar el Lardo.. This is the same person who has praised Mussolini, matter of fact her party ‘s newspaper named Mussolini “Person of the Year” this year. Churchill wrote the 5 volume history of WWII, one with the title of The Gathering Storm…. We are there fellow travelers… Best to All.
Logan Act, Logan Act, Logan Act.
Yes, Ms Malone was there and the only thing the little fat man could say was: “she’s fantastic. Can someone please help him out with his lack of vocabulary.
You mean he didn't say "I would tap that"? Maybe she's too old.
😂😂😂
Rudy said that she was there to see him! Hard to say when there are so many frat boys living at Marlardo. It's like a homeless shelter for mindless fucks.
She belongs to the modern interaction of Mussolini's party. Ruth BenGhiat is an expert on Italian Fascism. She's written extensively on Merloni and her party.
My god, and this is the imbecile 70-some million other imbeciles just elected president! Every other country on earth is laughing at us. The US is going to be a total embarrassment for the next 4 years.
Even if he doesn’t totally crash the country, I don’t know if we can ever live this down.
Recoiling in horror and fear at what happened to their ally. That, more than laughing at us. Although Putin et al. are “giddy.”
Dubious Linda, but they’re not laughing at all, they are as disgusted at the willfully ignorant as we are!!
Cannot wait to see the length of the opening paragraph after four (4) years of his antics and language, if you can even call it language. 🏋️
Titled for a Saturday: “These 8 years of stupid!”
Who is helping Donnie on his posts?! He wouldn’t have come up with the word “conflicted”…..
He uses it all the time to accuse his accusers. Nobody ever explained what conflicts. Torn between evidence and Donny’s version, perhaps? One judge NOT conflicted: Aileen Cannon.
