Greece and VOA don’t deserve this. As I told a friend this morning about VOA: The good news is it looks like there’s protocols in place. It’ll be like having an office admin that’s a bitch and everyone just works around her.
She reminds me of every dumb fucking Santa Monica "New Age" yuppie bimbo. They do their yoga and then they vote Trump without thinking because all their gnus, er, I mean gurus, are right wing shitbirds.
Yeah, but you had to bring up the Kristin and Joe fuckery. Now I had to think about them today, after I said yesterday would be the last day I would have given them any thought.
Do Krysten & Joe despise the Democratics, or do they dislike Schumer???? What is wrong with them? I'm surprised both of them haven't gotten admin positions yet....but the night is young
They are going to cushy wight-wing lobbying jobs, I'll bet. Sinema took the maximum "campaign donations "from republican business-people. And Manchin is a (dirty) coal baron who was paid by the coal industry to defeat any environmental limits on the coal industry. So, to recap: Sinema for $ale, and Manchin too.
Those two useless fuckwad narcissists voted against shoring up the National Labor Relations Board. Trader Joe's, Musk, and Bezos are suing the NLRB to demolish it. They're traitors to democracy. They're Libertarians. What's up with John Fetterman backing Dr. Oz? And Rubio?
yes, we really are... I can't even, either. How can so many residents in America be so Ok with this.. imagine if Obama or Biden behaved like this... there would be outrage from the idiot republicans and news media, both... unbelievable... 2 more weeks until my passport arrives.
Yeah. He’s another one that’s lost what’s left of his mind. Never liked the man so am not surprised. Says he’s not running again, thank goodness. Guess he can retire with his $$$ intact maybe?
Joins Truth Social!? What in the fuck! Another Joe Manchin. If you're having a stroke, maybe running for office isn't wise. All the good people won't run for office. It's too dirty. We're left with idiots. There are a few exceptions. But not many.
The only way Jeff could cover ALL the clusterfucking going on at any given moment would be to write 20,000 words a day, every day. Let’s not burn the boy out!
Although there is also Nancy Vance wearing a sling on her arm because someone said something pro-LGBTQ to her and it must have struck a nerve and caused her arm to suddenly get sore.
The key question is: Can Kimberly Gargoyle find Greece on a map? And who better to serve as this millennium's Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose than Kari Lake?
1. Best wishes to the people pardoned before Orange Fuckwit could do anything about it. If only Joe could pardon the rest of us as well for simply living as Dems.
2. I can’t tell if Eye of Newt is dissing Orange or praising him. Discuss.
3. Manchin and Sinema can fuck off, keep on fucking off, then fuck off some more.
Hopefully for them, both Manchin and Sinema had better have a lot of 'friends' (donors and sycophants) around them and into the future, because paybacks are a bitch. Every person who thinks progressively (humans to experience progress) is going to remember these traitorous toilet slime.
I took it as Newt dissing Orange and FOX not realizing that's what he's doing. Seriously, a grown man, and not someone who is retired, but a man in charge of the USA, wakes up and decides if he should go to McD or get a publicity shot in a garbage truck -- Newt's pointing out there's not a lot going on upstairs. Then, Orange missing one of his favorite dictators -- doesn't speak well of his values. I hate Newt, and maybe that's why I too had to read it again, but I think he's putting Trump down.
What kind of evil parents name their kid NEWT ? I know he’s an amphibious slimey reptile ,but shit he’s already got a last name that sounds like a smelly putrid gum infection…no wonder he’s such a scumbag !
It's undoubtedly short for Newton. Some Southerners have first names That come from the last name of an ancestor. Garth Brooks is the name of this type. Waylon Jennings also sounds like a name of this type. Truman Capote was born in the South. They simply don't have the same limitations practiced by the rest of the country. When I was young I knew a southerner called H Miracle. H was his given name.
I said amphibious not amphibian he’s a slime swimming reptile he’s a lover of slimy things like snot for instance back stroking in septic systems is his element !
My Daddy, who I adored, and who also adopted me, was called Newt - his given name was Newell. Just saying, not all Newt's are bad. Some of them actually end up being our hero.
At 82, Newt is older than DonOld; he's also a serial cheater, married three times, skirts the edges of corruption (not with the fanatic dedication and oblivious greed of Donnie, but still) and authored a compendium of words with bad connotations that he gave to his fellow Republicans so that they, too, could be successful at demolishing their political (Democratic) challengers, just like Newt.
LOL. Back in the 90s, my late spouse gave me one of those pottery spare-change containers that read “Eye of Newt.” Who knew that 30 years later it’d still be funny?
The Newtʻs comments didnʻt seem very complimentary to me. Sounded more like heʻs saying that occasionally a neuron fires in the fever swamp of Donnieʻs head and he then does something other than golf.
Time has the same consumer demographic as Reader's Digest. It doesn't even show up in my dentist's office anymore. I'm hoping the next cover of The New Yorker makes up for this.
Interesting factoid: Time was started by Henry Luce, who coined the term, "the American Century," in 1941. The gist of his thought was that the 20th century would be the period in which the U.S. would come to dominate the world, both militarily (he gave legitimacy to using force to accomplish economic goals) and financially, imposing "American values" everywhere. He was a staunch R, of course, and supported both fascist elements in the U.S. and Nazi sympathizers in Britain.
His philosophies were the basis for Darth Cheney's PNAC (Project for the New American Century), which gave Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, etc., the rationale for invading Iraq.
Luce's magazines have always been less-than-progressively slanted.
technically the title of person of the year isn't necessarily complimentary - it's merely noting the biggest story or something - BUT...that's now how it's understood, and the turnip has been presented with a gift, and a genuine cover to post on his wall
I will be moving this turd issue of TIME from the grocery checkout line, placing all copies behind other magazines. At as many checkout counters as I can.
The award is for biggest newsmaker of the year, and does not imply that he made news in a good way. As has been pointed out, Adolf was Man of the Year, after a year when he certainly did dominate the news.
In all fairness, TIME Person of the Year is about the most important/influential person in the world, for good or ill. It's not meant to express "this is the BEST person of the year." And I don't think anyone would disagree that Agent Orange's reelection (barf, vomit) is the story of the year, with repercussions for years to come.
As another commenter noted, Hitler was TIME Person of the Year once.
Would you like to swing on a tire/cuddle dictators you admire/guzzle raw milk till you expire…or would you rather be a Spork?/a Sporkfoot is badly-built and has a big jaw/her cousins are both her maw and paw/she hoots like a siamang and scares the crows/how she was elected, no one knows/ so if you’re dumb and you’re loud and you’re a dork/you may grow up to be a Spork.
Hereʻs mine but it doesnʻt rhyme as well as yours... Others should add their versions, this is a good use of the space: "A Musk is a chunky pinkish guy and a putz/ in a shirt thatʻs too tight to hide his gut/ He jumps and simpers and acts like a fool/even though he knows that Trump is a tool/ So if youʻre pinkish and fat and such a putz/ You may grow up to be a Musk."
Ah great! I’m working on a different one for him: “Skippy the Dipshit is flying to Mars! There goes Skippy the Dipshit/high as a kite on a ketamine bender/ To knock up the Martians is his goal/ but they have 55 genders/boo hoo hoo, balls of blue/There goes Skippy the Dipshit!”
I put the tire part in because there was a deleted scene in Pink Flamingos where the evil Marbles left a tire swing at Divine’s trailer with a note: “Swing on this a while, baboon!” And MJT is definitely the result of monkey lovin’ as that line in Home For The Holidays would have it.
I’m old enough to remember the song “Would You Like to Swing on a Star.” My favorite TV show in that era was Your Hit Parade,” and that song was featured.
Also, I too will miss someone doing the right thing. Trump will take credit for any good things that flow from Biden’s policies and destroy enough of them to blame him for failures.
I honestly find it hard to forgive anyone who voted for Trump.
It's a matter of survival. Thanks to Trump voters, we'll be holding our breath for the next 4 years for a vast number of reasons, including anticipation of Putin's next move, which Bump will 100% support. As Patrick Heny wrote, "Hope is the enemy of resolution." I have very little hope.
I hope all the people who voted for the Horror Clown will enjoy their $20 avocados. There was a piece in the NYT on how a combination of deporting undocumented immigrants and imposing high tariffs will cause grocery prices to jump. Fun fact: despite its ample supply of arable land, the US is actually a net importer of food, partly due to labor shortages!
I feel exactly the same way. I just cannot forgive the lemmings who followed the Orange Shitstain and I’ll also never forgive all the democrats who stayed at home and didn’t vote because it was a woman running for President..
But is that enough to keep her from running again in the NEXT big statewide election? It doesn't seem like there's any such thing as a residency requirement for political office in this country anymore.
It just annoys the hell out of me that all of her machinations and plastic surgery actually won her something. I hope Voice of America will get the Muskax.
And from the other day, Donnie Jr's now ex-girlfriend will be our new ambassador to Greece. The worst has yet to come! Donnie Jr. himself I hear is lobbying for an ambassadorship to Colombia. Wonder why.
Good luck to blow Boy he’s going to get a real education when he sticks his nose into Cartel business! Go for it Jr. ! They don’t give a flying fuck who your daddy is ! They be richer than Musk and They plan on staying that way!
Apparently Nancy Mace is lying about being "assaulted" by a transgender person. Witnesses who were there say the guy shook her head. Period. Meanwhile, she's walking around the halls of Congress with a sling on her shoulder, because she can't get enough publicity... Or drown transgenders hard enough.
“I want to express deep disappointment in the fact that Congresswoman Nancy Mace came to a national foster youth event, told participating youth that it was a safe space — and literally had one of them arrested by Capital police for simply shaking her hand and asking about trans rights,” said Lisa Dickson, a veteran advocate for foster youth from Ohio, in a Facebook post.
Oh, and the supposed attacker? James McIntyre, not trans, and "now a leading voice in policymaking in his home state of Illinois. He is also a chapter co-founder of the influential group Foster Care Alumni of America. In 2019, the National Association of Social Workers’ Illinois chapter named him the “Public Citizen of the Year.” "
Foster Youth young man asks Nancy Mace a ? re: trans right, she lies about an assault, now wearing arm sling. Reminds me of F'ing mtg chasing down David Hogg, school shooting survivor, yelling at him
This is exactly where all my discussions branch. I can't believe the number of people who still think he's going to be bound by law. I just walk away when they say, he can't do that, or the law won't allow that, or Congress won't allow that, etc. Have they been asleep at their desks for the last 8 years?
I hope Hunter will just move out of the country so that he will not be pursued. I'm sure the "Biden crime family" has enough money to help him get out. Jebus! The times we live in.
Thank you, Jeff, for including some stuff I hadn’t seen yet. Now I’m reading my daily paper and learned that the Infowars sale to The Onion has been rejected by a bankruptcy judge in Texas. Talk about f’ing shit.
The article from the AP says that the judge “said there was lack of transparency in the bidding process and too much confusion about The Onion’s bid” and it goes on to say the amounts of the only two bids were too low. Legal mumbo jumbo.
Hi Jeff, let’s talk tariffs and the Canadian response. Meidas yesterday showed a couple of reactions from the Premiers of Canada, especially the Ontario Premier… he stated if the US were to impose tariffs he would retaliate, with the approval of the PM by cutting off energy supplies to various states such as NY, the Canadians supply 60% of the crude to America, which will devastate those states. You don’t hear about these statements in the RW info silo. All the Premiers were very pissed at Donald for his insults to their PM and Canada as a whole by implying that Canada was the US 51st state… So little Donnie dumbfuck has screwed the pooch before taking office… Best to All and…. Create Friction fellow travelers.
Except for our Alberta numpty wannabe fascist premier Danielle Smith... she thinks she can get our oil products exempted from tariffs by attacking Trudeau and sucking up to the Fuckface regime because she's a RW nutbar.
thank you, Dark Brandon, for giving me something to write about this morning besides Kari Lake and Kimberly Gargoyle
Greece and VOA don’t deserve this. As I told a friend this morning about VOA: The good news is it looks like there’s protocols in place. It’ll be like having an office admin that’s a bitch and everyone just works around her.
I just hope she tames her makeup and stops dressing like a hooker. Apologies to hookers.
She kind of reminds me of Tammy Faye Baker. Remember her?
She lived out here near me, poor lady. We would often seen her, in full makeup, going about her business.
Full makeup is saying a lot in her case. Is there even a face under all that.
Yeah, every picture I see of her she looks like an ugly, desperate whoore. Again, apologies to working girls.
She reminds me of every dumb fucking Santa Monica "New Age" yuppie bimbo. They do their yoga and then they vote Trump without thinking because all their gnus, er, I mean gurus, are right wing shitbirds.
Every time I see "New Age" I think of Goop and it's "My Vagina" candle scent. 🤢
🤣🤣🤣”who’s vagina”?
Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow's. (sp?). She owns Goop. Classy.
Let us hope every department in the US works in that way. Ignore the office boss and get S--T done!
They are ass-kissers (literally probably…lol) and I can’t stand seeing their faces-so thanks Dark Brandon and ditto Jeff!
I'd much rather write about good news than agonize over how to say something funny about crappy news.
You seem to have achieved the perfect balance!
Thank you once again for your service. 🫡 You’re doing the Lord’s work.
Yeah, but you had to bring up the Kristin and Joe fuckery. Now I had to think about them today, after I said yesterday would be the last day I would have given them any thought.
Don’t you just despise those two? They can’t be gone soon enough!
Do Krysten & Joe despise the Democratics, or do they dislike Schumer???? What is wrong with them? I'm surprised both of them haven't gotten admin positions yet....but the night is young
They are going to cushy wight-wing lobbying jobs, I'll bet. Sinema took the maximum "campaign donations "from republican business-people. And Manchin is a (dirty) coal baron who was paid by the coal industry to defeat any environmental limits on the coal industry. So, to recap: Sinema for $ale, and Manchin too.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Those two useless fuckwad narcissists voted against shoring up the National Labor Relations Board. Trader Joe's, Musk, and Bezos are suing the NLRB to demolish it. They're traitors to democracy. They're Libertarians. What's up with John Fetterman backing Dr. Oz? And Rubio?
I've done a 180 on Fetterman. I think that stroke damaged his brain. What a disappointment he's turned out to be.
Same here...I'm so bummed about John's turnaround. WTH???
He doesn’t have Adam Jettleson doing all his work for him any more.
Strokes change people. Personality changes are not at all uncommon.
He's nuts. The shit that comes out of his mouth.
Strokes can certainly “F” with the grey matter Cheryl, but damn,,you’re sadly correct!!
Yeah, Fetterman is dead to me. I gave more money to him during his campaign than I ever had up to that point. Fuck Him!
its like you flushed it down the terlet
Yeah, this one does feel like that. Even when my candidate loses I don't feel like this.
Bernie said that he'd vote for Brainworms and Tulski.
We're so screwed. I cant even.... 😭😭😭
yes, we really are... I can't even, either. How can so many residents in America be so Ok with this.. imagine if Obama or Biden behaved like this... there would be outrage from the idiot republicans and news media, both... unbelievable... 2 more weeks until my passport arrives.
Damn I forgot to update mine, thanks James!!
What??? Our politics are so fucking broken. What's happening here?!
🤦
Yeah, he's another collaborator. Keeping a list.
Bernie? As in, Sanders??? Oh, say it ain't so!
'tis so. Sorry.
Yeah. He’s another one that’s lost what’s left of his mind. Never liked the man so am not surprised. Says he’s not running again, thank goodness. Guess he can retire with his $$$ intact maybe?
Ah, so he got his, fuck you? That is the republican creed, though!
Bernie Sanders contact info:
Let Bernie know how you feel!. We must #Resist! https://berniesanders.com/contact/
Outrage, would be welcomed on this bit of fuckery Charles!!
Bernie's gone senile, I think.
So Trader Joe’s is now Traitor Joe’s?
Yep

Fetterman Slams Trump & Hunter Biden Legal Cases, Joins Truth Social https://www.foxnews.com/media/fetterman-slams-legal-cases-trump-hunter-biden-first-truth-social-post-cases-both-bulls
Joins Truth Social!? What in the fuck! Another Joe Manchin. If you're having a stroke, maybe running for office isn't wise. All the good people won't run for office. It's too dirty. We're left with idiots. There are a few exceptions. But not many.
Jeff made no mention of corybantic dancers appearing with Don Jr.’s ex appointment to Greece ambassadorship, I’m slightly disappointed!!
We don't need more celebrity gossip.
No, we don't, because that's ALL we get with corporate media.
I describe Sinema as a model for the Blouse Barn in Schitt's Creek.
🤣🤣🤣 Sinema's clothing choices are so inappropriate and downright awful. GF riddance!
They were kind of cute, at first, once we voted her in, it looked like dress-barn threw up on her.
You’re on a roll. 🤣🤣
Rick over at Lincoln Project win over Mike Treasonous Flynn is a pretty big deal Jeff!
The only way Jeff could cover ALL the clusterfucking going on at any given moment would be to write 20,000 words a day, every day. Let’s not burn the boy out!
Thanks, Patrick. I hadn’t heard that Rick won the appeal and just read about it. Good news indeed.
Although there is also Nancy Vance wearing a sling on her arm because someone said something pro-LGBTQ to her and it must have struck a nerve and caused her arm to suddenly get sore.
It's sore from stroking trumps mushroom.
I'm amazed she was able to find it.
Maybe she used a magnifying glass first?
Probably why it is sore, it took a couple of days!
😂😂😂
Nancy Mace. The congresswoman and attention ho.
She is a shithead of no common order. I can't freaking believe she called the police for that guy shaking her hand--She is such a media whore.
Do you have a link to the list? Thanks
The key question is: Can Kimberly Gargoyle find Greece on a map? And who better to serve as this millennium's Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose than Kari Lake?
Indeed!
Yeah Baby!
🙏 (must we go there)
Thank you. I don't give a shit about either of those women. Celebrity gossip. Not interested.
1. Best wishes to the people pardoned before Orange Fuckwit could do anything about it. If only Joe could pardon the rest of us as well for simply living as Dems.
2. I can’t tell if Eye of Newt is dissing Orange or praising him. Discuss.
3. Manchin and Sinema can fuck off, keep on fucking off, then fuck off some more.
I think they both need to fuck off with extreme prejudice.
Hopefully for them, both Manchin and Sinema had better have a lot of 'friends' (donors and sycophants) around them and into the future, because paybacks are a bitch. Every person who thinks progressively (humans to experience progress) is going to remember these traitorous toilet slime.
Add Fetterman. That hulking POS.
Do you think Fetterman is seeing that PA is leaning right, and he’s hedging to make sure he’s not left hanging…
WTAF Fetterman??
They don't care. Manchin is rich as fuck and Sinema is just plain crazy.
Manchurian along with Sinenema are regurgitated repugnantcan moles planted in the Democratic Party to be used when called upon by their leader!
Paybacks ARE a bitch.
👆👏👏👏👏👏👏
I took it as Newt dissing Orange and FOX not realizing that's what he's doing. Seriously, a grown man, and not someone who is retired, but a man in charge of the USA, wakes up and decides if he should go to McD or get a publicity shot in a garbage truck -- Newt's pointing out there's not a lot going on upstairs. Then, Orange missing one of his favorite dictators -- doesn't speak well of his values. I hate Newt, and maybe that's why I too had to read it again, but I think he's putting Trump down.
That was my original thought, but since it was Newt, I couldn’t be certain.
Eye of Newt is another one of those human beings with zero control over his mouth. Like Steve Bannon, LDFF, Etcetera.
What kind of evil parents name their kid NEWT ? I know he’s an amphibious slimey reptile ,but shit he’s already got a last name that sounds like a smelly putrid gum infection…no wonder he’s such a scumbag !
It's undoubtedly short for Newton. Some Southerners have first names That come from the last name of an ancestor. Garth Brooks is the name of this type.

When I was young I knew a southerner called H Miracle. H was his given name.
"Newton Leroy Gingrich", if I recall correctly.
No need to insult amphibians, who actually aren't slimy and who are useful creatures in their ecosystems.
I said amphibious not amphibian he’s a slime swimming reptile he’s a lover of slimy things like snot for instance back stroking in septic systems is his element !
Well, it's probably short for Newton...but who knows? Maybe his parents hated him.
Okay, I looked it up: Newt Gingrinch--oops, I meant Gingrich--full name is
Newton Leroy Gingrich. Really nothing to work with there. I think his parents really DID hate him!
Aha ! That figs ….Newton !Sorry couldn’t resist!😜😅
😆🤣😆🤣
Thanks for the laugh! Well Newt def has the fruit bit down...not so much the cake. (I couldn't resist either!)
If I was Newtie I could have said WHOA !.! backed into that one Ouch!😣
My Daddy, who I adored, and who also adopted me, was called Newt - his given name was Newell. Just saying, not all Newt's are bad. Some of them actually end up being our hero.
My apologies ,sometimes I write things out of my contempt for one individual who I despise ,sorry I’m sure your dad was a great guy .
Touché Robert!!
i can’t tell if that’s his mouth or anus talking!
Shit appears to come from both Dave, it’s confusing as hell!!
The one with the diaper around it is his seat of wisdom ….the brains of the operation!😅
Indeed Kathleen, another example of rotting lab grown meat!
Noot is getting a little dotty. That was some tRump level word salad.
Right?! Been taking elocution lessons from Agent Orange?
Perhaps if we changed the spelling they could give each other electrocution lessons...
👍👍
Oh…BRAVO!!👏👏
At 82, Newt is older than DonOld; he's also a serial cheater, married three times, skirts the edges of corruption (not with the fanatic dedication and oblivious greed of Donnie, but still) and authored a compendium of words with bad connotations that he gave to his fellow Republicans so that they, too, could be successful at demolishing their political (Democratic) challengers, just like Newt.
Manchin and Sinema sentiment is perfect Kay-EI, as for Newt, has anything he’s ever said or done made any sense?
LOL. Back in the 90s, my late spouse gave me one of those pottery spare-change containers that read “Eye of Newt.” Who knew that 30 years later it’d still be funny?
That’s hilarious and very apropos
The Newtʻs comments didnʻt seem very complimentary to me. Sounded more like heʻs saying that occasionally a neuron fires in the fever swamp of Donnieʻs head and he then does something other than golf.
It seems strange. Why isn't Newt getting in line to kiss the giant orange ass? His spew seems out of character for him.
I’ll so second that! Loathe, hate and despise that cracker.
Amen Kay-El!!!
If Manchin's houseboat was on fire + he was in the water, I would gather life vests, stand on the pier silently without calling 911. Fucking payback.
Keep the Xmas gifts coming, Dark Brandon!
Now…let’s discuss the issue of Time magazine putting the Orange Turnip on the cover and naming him Man of the Year.
I could have stomached “Turnip of the Year”. So, WTF TIME? Are you normalizing hate?
Wonder how much trumpy paid for that time cover? 🥴✌🏻💙
Watch Donny C turn around and start selling autographed copies of the cover for $99.95.
If autographed, $999.99 (plus S/H and tax, of course), or maybe $9,999.99.
Or $666. 😆
It may just have been Time magazine’s obeying in advance for free.
Remember...they also had Hitler on their cover back a while!
I guess that’s why they gave themselves permission to feature a Nazi cover boy again.
for the "peace in our times" agreement and his immediate breach of it (1938)
also Mussolini, for invading Ethiopia (1935)
and Stalin, twice, for signing a deal with Hitler to partition Poland (1939) and for starting to turn back Hitler's invasion (1942)
and Khomeini for taking over Iran and seizing American hostages (1979)
and Putin for consolidating power (2007)
Thanks for educating & crystallizing this Robert....are they as bad as the NYT??
It was somebody else who collected all the most embarrassing Man of the Year covers, unfortunately I can't attach the picture.
Time was always rather right-wing throughout the 20th century, when the NYT was more respectable a source than its 21st century incarnation.
They have been bought by a right-wing outfit yet again.
Thanks for the deleterious list Robert, Benioff can obviously be purchased, for even considering, the only people that can read hate Trump!
“Scourge of the Year” would have been more apt.
All Donny C wants is for everyone on planet Earth to worship him. Time is just falling into line. Not on my watch.
Worship him - over my dead body.
Time should name him: SCHMUCK OF THE DECADE
Indeed Dave, will the cover 4 years from now be Dross of the decade?
King Shitpants sells the press. MSM loves him. They make money. Integrity left the building a long time ago. Time magazine has sucked ass for decades.
Time has the same consumer demographic as Reader's Digest. It doesn't even show up in my dentist's office anymore. I'm hoping the next cover of The New Yorker makes up for this.
Interesting factoid: Time was started by Henry Luce, who coined the term, "the American Century," in 1941. The gist of his thought was that the 20th century would be the period in which the U.S. would come to dominate the world, both militarily (he gave legitimacy to using force to accomplish economic goals) and financially, imposing "American values" everywhere. He was a staunch R, of course, and supported both fascist elements in the U.S. and Nazi sympathizers in Britain.
His philosophies were the basis for Darth Cheney's PNAC (Project for the New American Century), which gave Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, etc., the rationale for invading Iraq.
Luce's magazines have always been less-than-progressively slanted.
For any who may be interested:
https://modernhistoryproject.org/mhp?Article=HenryLuce
TY for the background info. F'ING Nazi infiltration from 1941 thru line to Cheney, Iraq to TIME cover today.
And I am entirely unsurprised to find Time Magazine was founded with this ethos.
technically the title of person of the year isn't necessarily complimentary - it's merely noting the biggest story or something - BUT...that's now how it's understood, and the turnip has been presented with a gift, and a genuine cover to post on his wall
🤮
I will be moving this turd issue of TIME from the grocery checkout line, placing all copies behind other magazines. At as many checkout counters as I can.
Sounds like fun.
Yes, they did Hitler in 1938, I believe it was and the NYT published a Hitler-fan defense of him.
MSM continue their ever-accelerating descent into irrelevancy.
The award is for biggest newsmaker of the year, and does not imply that he made news in a good way. As has been pointed out, Adolf was Man of the Year, after a year when he certainly did dominate the news.
🤮
All the press seems to be falling into line - obeying in advance.
In all fairness, TIME Person of the Year is about the most important/influential person in the world, for good or ill. It's not meant to express "this is the BEST person of the year." And I don't think anyone would disagree that Agent Orange's reelection (barf, vomit) is the story of the year, with repercussions for years to come.
As another commenter noted, Hitler was TIME Person of the Year once.
Iʻm looking for my throw-up emoji....
Here. Have one of mine.
🤮
And the precursor:
🤢
WTAF?
Disgusting. Won't be referring to that rag any TIME soon.
Time is a republikkkan tool and always has been.
The news just keeps becoming science fiction.
A felon, rapist, thief, traitor, insurrectionist as Man of the Year🤦♀️
Why not name Lee Harvey Oswald as man of the year posthumously???
Where have all the Normal People gone??? Where are the Walter Cronkites and Dan Rather’s of the news.
Why is it getting worse?
Would you like to swing on a tire/cuddle dictators you admire/guzzle raw milk till you expire…or would you rather be a Spork?/a Sporkfoot is badly-built and has a big jaw/her cousins are both her maw and paw/she hoots like a siamang and scares the crows/how she was elected, no one knows/ so if you’re dumb and you’re loud and you’re a dork/you may grow up to be a Spork.
may I suggest:
'A Sporkfoot is butch-bodied and has a big jaw'
Otherwise, perfection.

Hereʻs mine but it doesnʻt rhyme as well as yours... Others should add their versions, this is a good use of the space: "A Musk is a chunky pinkish guy and a putz/ in a shirt thatʻs too tight to hide his gut/ He jumps and simpers and acts like a fool/even though he knows that Trump is a tool/ So if youʻre pinkish and fat and such a putz/ You may grow up to be a Musk."
Ah great! I’m working on a different one for him: “Skippy the Dipshit is flying to Mars! There goes Skippy the Dipshit/high as a kite on a ketamine bender/ To knock up the Martians is his goal/ but they have 55 genders/boo hoo hoo, balls of blue/There goes Skippy the Dipshit!”
It took me a minute…but that is awesome!!
And sheʻs wearing a sling now so it could include something about a brace......Also maybe embrace. Hmmm.....
Has she been to the movies 🎥 with any beaus ? Seems to bring on those wrist strokes !😅
I sang this out loud after the first line 😂. Well done !!!!
Thanks!
That's quite a talent you have there! Keep it up.
Thanks for readin’
I put the tire part in because there was a deleted scene in Pink Flamingos where the evil Marbles left a tire swing at Divine’s trailer with a note: “Swing on this a while, baboon!” And MJT is definitely the result of monkey lovin’ as that line in Home For The Holidays would have it.
I’m old enough to remember the song “Would You Like to Swing on a Star.” My favorite TV show in that era was Your Hit Parade,” and that song was featured.
It’s an odd song, but I like it. There’s a Trump verse, too: “to fool the people is his only thought/but though he’s slippery, he still gets caught.”
I hope David French is right.
Also, I too will miss someone doing the right thing. Trump will take credit for any good things that flow from Biden’s policies and destroy enough of them to blame him for failures.
I honestly find it hard to forgive anyone who voted for Trump.
I never will forgive anyone who voted for Dump. It’s a matter of morals now.
Agreed, and ethics are out of the question.
It's a matter of survival. Thanks to Trump voters, we'll be holding our breath for the next 4 years for a vast number of reasons, including anticipation of Putin's next move, which Bump will 100% support. As Patrick Heny wrote, "Hope is the enemy of resolution." I have very little hope.
I hope all the people who voted for the Horror Clown will enjoy their $20 avocados. There was a piece in the NYT on how a combination of deporting undocumented immigrants and imposing high tariffs will cause grocery prices to jump. Fun fact: despite its ample supply of arable land, the US is actually a net importer of food, partly due to labor shortages!
I feel exactly the same way. I just cannot forgive the lemmings who followed the Orange Shitstain and I’ll also never forgive all the democrats who stayed at home and didn’t vote because it was a woman running for President..
Exactly- where was that Taylor Swift effect? or the pro abortionist effect.
in the most important election they all shrugged their shoulders and stuck their noses back on social media
At the risk of sounding like a MAGA <gag>, I will never believe that mango man actually won the election.
Correct that to say a Black/Asian woman who happens to be married to a Jewish guy.
Since Manchin & Sinema are up to their eyeballs in Republican money, I suspect they voted to keep the spigot open after they leave office.
Yep!
That's a given Sinema for sale, maxxed out on repub contributions long after she announced she wouldn't run.
Kari Lake now to lead Voice of America. Yeah, she's qualified, said no one ever. The Shit Parade marches on. Ugh.
As an Arizonan, the only good of that is she’s not here.
But is that enough to keep her from running again in the NEXT big statewide election? It doesn't seem like there's any such thing as a residency requirement for political office in this country anymore.
As a fellow AZ citizen I second your comments…
That's how I feel about the robotic nutbar DeathSantis being substituted for Hogsbreath to run the Military.
Who knows but my money might be on Elmo and his buddy Rataswani thinking that maybe it’s time to chop that out of the budget. Buy bye Kari.
Thanks for the morning chuckle
Good one!
I really do not like Kari Lake.. not ever
Putin got a boner over that ripe piece of shit choice.
Sadly, he's had a constant tumescence over Tangeranus's picks.
It just annoys the hell out of me that all of her machinations and plastic surgery actually won her something. I hope Voice of America will get the Muskax.
And from the other day, Donnie Jr's now ex-girlfriend will be our new ambassador to Greece. The worst has yet to come! Donnie Jr. himself I hear is lobbying for an ambassadorship to Colombia. Wonder why.
Yup, Ambassador to Bolivian Marching Powder.
😁
🐽❄️ Ambassador.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Yeah the son who’s a totally coke head is going to be great as an ambassador to Columbia…
Putting a fox in the henhouse
Maybe he will overdose and his heart will explode? We can dream.
Good luck to blow Boy he’s going to get a real education when he sticks his nose into Cartel business! Go for it Jr. ! They don’t give a flying fuck who your daddy is ! They be richer than Musk and They plan on staying that way!
The new girlfriend suggested it!
Joe Biden has compassion. It’s something the Reicht can’t excuse or forgive.
Hey, whatever happened to the big Biden impeachment thing? And the investigations into the big bad Biden crime family? Bueller? Bueller?
Apparently Nancy Mace is lying about being "assaulted" by a transgender person. Witnesses who were there say the guy shook her head. Period. Meanwhile, she's walking around the halls of Congress with a sling on her shoulder, because she can't get enough publicity... Or drown transgenders hard enough.
“I want to express deep disappointment in the fact that Congresswoman Nancy Mace came to a national foster youth event, told participating youth that it was a safe space — and literally had one of them arrested by Capital police for simply shaking her hand and asking about trans rights,” said Lisa Dickson, a veteran advocate for foster youth from Ohio, in a Facebook post.
Oh, and the supposed attacker? James McIntyre, not trans, and "now a leading voice in policymaking in his home state of Illinois. He is also a chapter co-founder of the influential group Foster Care Alumni of America. In 2019, the National Association of Social Workers’ Illinois chapter named him the “Public Citizen of the Year.” "

She’s such a fucking scumbag.
What a nasty lying bitch!😡😡
The guy is not trans (although he is gay): but he said trans kids need to be protected, and that was enough for Nasty Mace to attack him.
And at first, Mace accused him of trying to rape her. Then she scaled back to "assault". @#$%*@
Foster Youth young man asks Nancy Mace a ? re: trans right, she lies about an assault, now wearing arm sling. Reminds me of F'ing mtg chasing down David Hogg, school shooting survivor, yelling at him
Anything to get attention...
In both cases!
Actual assaulters she has no problem with, it’s these fictional predatory trannies she pretends to be combating that are the core of her grift.
He’ll just grab her by her privates.
Hahaha. The gas leak at Fox would explain so much.
I wish someone had lit a cigarette or something to see whether there was really a gas leak.
That would be such a shame!
😂😂😂
BOOM!! 💥💥
Big Boom Charlie!! Big assed Boom 💥
Whattaya wanna bet Trump decides he can reverse pardons if he wants to?
Oh, I think he’ll do whatever the hell he wants regardless of laws, traditions, or morals.
I was thinking the same thing. His weaponized DOJ and FBI will try their best to reverse the pardons.
This is exactly where all my discussions branch. I can't believe the number of people who still think he's going to be bound by law. I just walk away when they say, he can't do that, or the law won't allow that, or Congress won't allow that, etc. Have they been asleep at their desks for the last 8 years?
repubs have already said they'll continue to pursue Hunter
I hope Hunter will just move out of the country so that he will not be pursued. I'm sure the "Biden crime family" has enough money to help him get out. Jebus! The times we live in.
Sure, they can do that--I'd rather they waste time on shit they can't change instead of fucking up actual things that matter.
GRRRRR.....
Thank you, Jeff, for including some stuff I hadn’t seen yet. Now I’m reading my daily paper and learned that the Infowars sale to The Onion has been rejected by a bankruptcy judge in Texas. Talk about f’ing shit.
that judge is a major spoilsport
What the actual fuck? Did they say why?
The article from the AP says that the judge “said there was lack of transparency in the bidding process and too much confusion about The Onion’s bid” and it goes on to say the amounts of the only two bids were too low. Legal mumbo jumbo.
this earned judges in Texas are ALL corrupted right wingers....their State Supreme Court is the worst
What tf...
In case you all were wondering - I will NOT obey in advance.
Thank you for your service.
If Kari the Ugly Clothes-horse joined Joe Manch-Kin, on Joe’s yacht, The Minnow, wouldn’t the weight of their malevolent egos sink the damn thing?
A torpedo certainly would!😂😂
Hi Jeff, let’s talk tariffs and the Canadian response. Meidas yesterday showed a couple of reactions from the Premiers of Canada, especially the Ontario Premier… he stated if the US were to impose tariffs he would retaliate, with the approval of the PM by cutting off energy supplies to various states such as NY, the Canadians supply 60% of the crude to America, which will devastate those states. You don’t hear about these statements in the RW info silo. All the Premiers were very pissed at Donald for his insults to their PM and Canada as a whole by implying that Canada was the US 51st state… So little Donnie dumbfuck has screwed the pooch before taking office… Best to All and…. Create Friction fellow travelers.
LDFF is pissing off the next-door neighbors so mightily that they’ve decided to come into his yard and beat him up.
I’d pay to watch that.
Except for our Alberta numpty wannabe fascist premier Danielle Smith... she thinks she can get our oil products exempted from tariffs by attacking Trudeau and sucking up to the Fuckface regime because she's a RW nutbar.
