To be honest JT, I'm sick and tired of what the GOP, or the media, or anyone has to say about DONALD FUCKING TRUMP!

No one made Trump do this: he took the documents which violated the law. He kept them after being asked for them for more than a year. He refused to return them even after receiving a subpoena. He hid them from his own goddamned attorney, then lied to that man and the FBI about them.

Donald Trump has broken the law, and nothing....NOT ONE THING...that he, or any Republican knucklehead, or lying dipshit on Fox News, or ass clown MAGA moron will change that.

I am sick and tired of hearing his name, his voice, and his lies. I sick and tired of hearing about his cases, his crimes, and his remarks. I sick and tired of hearing what his foolish followers say in their sick attempt to defend him.

Jeff, Donald Trump is NOT WORTHY of MY TIME.: Trump is not worthy or OUR TIME.

Jack Smith is my man, and I put my trust in Jack to handle scum like Trump.

here's the thing: I write about the news. when Donald Trump is the main story of the day, I write about Donald Trump. pretending he doesn't exist is not going to make him go away.

I get it. But I still want to rant about how tired I am of all the attention Donald Dick is getting. And you seem to feel the same. Please keep covering tfg and please forgive my need to vent.

Margaret, you’ve expressed my thoughts exactly. I’m also sick of the ups and downs: one day the pundits who aren’t wing nuts say Jack Smith is likely prepared for Cannon’s b.s. and the next day she can stall the case until after the election. I know Jeff’s right, ignoring tffg (extra f intentional) won’t make him go away and yet I want to so badly right now. Anyway, thank you both.

Don’t watch or listen to them. I don’t. Read the news.

gotta be as vigilant as one reasonably can -- lots to balance in life -- and i am nauseated by the trumpers and the magat repubs -- but, if we want a democracy, a minimally authentic democracy, at least, we'd better pay attention and try to take whatever action we are comfortable with to counteract -- head in sand? we may emerge to a world we dont want to live in --

I would not advise taking this post from RadLib as an answer even indirectly aimed at the OP. The OP's post is accurate and informative.

With humor and justice for all, amen.

That's why we subscribe, with US dollars.

Taken within the context of at least seven years' of cable channel ratings-driven obsession, could anyone be faulted for being so sick of the uneducated FG, that they would rather put their heads in a woodchipper? But the openings are too small?

Just looking at how even the loyal (to democracy) opposition, including MSNBC and Keith Olbermann focus daily on this insanity, it is like trying to ignore a Cat5 hurricane while Russia invades England while Drag Queens take over Florida libraries. Of course, it's relevant and important and dangerous AF!

Doesn't mean we can't be sick of it after 7 fucking years of this fucking orange fuck. You're sick of him, as much as we all are.

But no one has to watch or listen to cable news all day. You can get everything from the associated press, AP, or so many other reliable news outlets. I stopped watching the televised news in 2016-could stand his voice with lie after lie and his stupid face. I do watch network news if I need to as the insurgency on Jan 6 and the election.

Exactly. Everyone with working brain cells is sick of Donald like you’d be sick of a cock roach infestation buy you wouldn’t stop doing everything you can to make them go away.

To be honest Radical Liberal, Donald Trump and his crimes are “the news,” historically the biggest news. No I don’t leave the tv on the news, I read the news, breaking news, and this “everyone’s entitled to my own opinion”. Everyone’s sick of Trump but he’s wreaking havoc on our country and is a real and present danger, really, to borrow a book title, but I want to know what the rat is up to. Don’t watch it with all those talking heads. Read it. Many good sources.

Guess you'll be writing about him for a Very Looong Time. The news, which I would argue is more Entertainment than news, will talk about this cancer until after it's long gone. Thank godness for the passing of time, hopefully in Rump world it will pass way faster.

I would not even give him the benefit of dying with his face covered in my excrement but maybe we can get some of his rabid blonde supporters (this is not a dig on blondes per se but do notice how he surrounds himself with busty blonde bimbos) they can maybe piss on him. I think I heard something about him liking 'water' sports.

The accordion hands make me crazy. I think he should be impeached for that alone. Also, the way he cocks his head to read the teleprompter.

I’d put him in jail for the hand gestures alone.

I am WITH YOU radical liberal. That mother fucker has made our country mentally fucking ill.

Expand full comment

A few weeks ago there was a hearing in Congress discussing the ill effects of social media on our children: how looking at their smartphones every 5 minutes had a negative mental health impact.

Look at your social media feeds: whichever sites you're on, they are filled with Trump: Trump love or Trump hate, it's Trump, Trump, Trump all day long. And since he's been indicted--twice now--it has only gotten worse, with 24x7 media coverage, and every other meme or video being about Trump!

When do WE get a mental break? Trump has not only poisoned the minds of his own followers with lies, he has turned all of us into consumers and engagers in his hate crimes.

We all need to back away from the toxic burn pit known as Trump.

Perhaps it was a poisoned apple ready for picking?

What I am sick of is the MSM treating him like he's a normal person. They report on him like he's not a sick, delusional sociopath getting worse by the day. What they DO cover at great length (still) is "whatabout" - Hillary, Biden, Hunter, Bill Clinton's sock drawer, etc but no investigation into Jared Kushner's (presidential "senior advisor") $2B from the Saudi's or Ivanka Trump's many patents from China (or CHY-NA as Trump would say.) They don't report on the many successes of the Biden administration. They cover DRAMA and Trump has been their favorite shiny drama object since 2015.

Your mistake is that you expect the wealthy to be better people. The wealthy believe that they are wealthy because they are better people. (Thank you, Mr. Optimist, Milton Friedman.) Tfg didn't "end up" in this situation. He created it, expecting to get away with it. So far, he has, at every turn. Morals? The rich don't need'em, and the poor can't afford'em.

I'm with you, Tired of hearing about the guy but he's still making people money, so we'll have to keep hearing about him, until he isn't. As I'm sure you're aware EVERYTHING about America is Money, if it doesn't make dollars, it doesn't make sense.

So Really Tired of people defending the indefensible, all very Twilight Zone ish.

I don't understand Why they feel the need to defend him while destroying America. Let China or Iran, (not Likely) invade I bet their tone would change. I guess when you have so much as a Nation you have time to voice your ignorance.

Rump isn't worthy of your thought process to put your words together about him. We'll come to our time in history when we look back on this guy the same way Germany looks back at Adolf. How did it happen, ask the 1%.

1 3 5 7 9 I cannot even with these people.

I mean they praise conservative dictators who DO jail rivals without due process, but fume at Biden (completely uninvolved in the process). There is nothing about this Donald has not done to himself. Several pundits have pointed out he had half a dozen or more chances to return the documents.

Fuck, they're mad at Biden for "jailing political rivals" and the little orange shit isn't even in jail!

What I love about all the folks being outraged at the indictment: It doesn’t matter. Little Marco threatening indictment of the Biden *crime family* doesn’t matter. Fox News’ inflammatory bullshit doesn’t matter. The Republicans whining that the indictment was politically motivated don’t matter. None of this shit matters because Cheeto Jesus committed serious crimes and the Justice Department won’t be swayed by anyone’s opinions. (Not to mention that the indictment hasn’t been read most of the schmucks criticizing it.) Jack Smith has tried war criminals in the Hague (!!!) and won’t be intimidated by a confederation of dunces.

Old joke: A bear and a rabbit are sitting side by side. The bear asks the rabbit, “Does shit stick to your fur?” The rabbit says no, whereupon the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit.

Jack Smith is the bear. And he’s going to wipe his ass with Trump.

Both can be true. JT, I'm grateful for your take each and every time. I look forward to reading it each and every time. At the same time, I'm sick to death of Donald Trump. If I never heard about him or saw him again, that would be wonderful. But we must remain alert, vigilant, and ready to meet the moment until our dreams come true and he's gone. (To be replaced by another wannabe, I am afraid.)

Hi Jeff, I’m late to the party today.. 2 issues today... 1. Fellow Travelers do not forget there is still a grand jury in DC investigating J6, who was behind it, who were the command and control folks.. I am quite sure Donald will be addressing more indictments from that jury. Also, remember the stare down in court yesterday between Donald and Jack Smith, I’d say SP Smith has done the same to war criminals and mafioso criminals, so Jack is well versed in these not so subtle hints. 2. Yesterday MGT or Madge as I call her stated, without reservation that “we are a communist country now”... on that startling news I called our stock manager to pull all of our retirement funds out of the markets, convert to cash so I’m able to put it under out very small bed... well our stock manager said to stop watching Madge, disregard everything she says, well I told him under communism the state will take over all the corporations... he said relax, don’t roll up in a ball on the floor, don’t become a day drinker and put the cigarettes down.... I’m so confused... Hope I got a laugh from all fellow travelers🥴
