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?
Thanks, Kathleen. Michael De Adder's cartoon is spot on! In hindsight, the WaPo decision makers who censored Telnaes' cartoon may now wish they'd left things alone.
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
Please prepare a post for the beginning (day one) of Scumbag Felon Trump’s term.
That post should contain, side by side, photos of the two Time Magazine covers of Piece of shit Scumbag of the year Hitler and Piece of Shit Scumbag of the Year Trump.
Hitler grabbed The Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia courtesy of spineless Chamberlain. Putin will grab Ukraine courtesy of spineless Trump. Trump will soon destroy NATO. Traitor Trump is Putin’s puppet.
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
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:

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?

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
Thanks, Kathleen. Michael De Adder's cartoon is spot on! In hindsight, the WaPo decision makers who censored Telnaes' cartoon may now wish they'd left things alone.
Brilliant

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.

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 !

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!
