I haven’t seen anyone mention it so I will: Native Americans would like to know when the Apple Dumpling Crime Consortium is vacating North America since America is for TRUE Americans who didn’t call themselves that but were absolutely here first.
Indeed you did, I was so disappointed that Elon Musk turned out to be so terribly stupid, not knowing any history, or understanding the simple concept of free speech. He just listens to ignorant people and outsources his opinion to them.
That’s why I called them the AD Gang. They’re definitely evil but also stupider than a box of rocks — why else do they keep saying the quiet part out loud? By all means keep talking, but don’t be afraid of them. FIGHT BACK 👊🏼
I saw a great comment elsewhere on Substack that told the MAGAs, if you don't have money for groceries or gas, maybe you shouldn't have wasted it on gold sneakers, Bibles from China, watches, shitty trading cards, NFTs or any of the other trump crap
Oh, come on, you know the Indians were selfishly keeping all this for themselves when Europeans were in need of it. John Wayne even said so, so it must be true. Amirite?
Because of all the tidbits about actors who went to war and became legends in their time, allow me, please to bring up one more--Elvis Presley. No, he didn't do anything heroic in WW2, but he, too, refused to go into the Army's Entertainment Division. He enlisted and was sent to Grafenwehr (sp?) Germany. Ten degrees colder in the winter and 20 degrees warmer in the summer. The first thing he did was get a gallon jar from the chow hall, and put his pay in it. All $78.00 plus change, then he put it on top of his wall locker, then told the guys in his barracks that he didn't need it. If they were short, to take what they needed, and if or when they could pay it back, to do so. He never checked. He pulled KP and Guard duty on holidays, relieving those enlisted who had wives and family so they could stay home with them. When he rotated for his discharge, he took the jar with the money down to the First Sergeant and told him to do something nice for the guys. I was told this by a soldier who served with him.
The funny thing is, lots of movie stars served in WWII—and many of them desperately tried NOT to be given "safe" assignments flying generals around, or worse making movies for the "war effort"!
Everybody knows about James Stewart starting out as a private so he wouldn't get stuck with REMF jobs (and getting stuck as an Instructor Pilot anyway for a few years before he was finally allowed to head up a bomber group over Germany, which he did for twenty combat missions before they promoted him to a desk job! (Operations Officer of the 453rd Bomb Group, and later Chief of Staff of the 2nd Combat wing, 2nd Air Division of the 8th Air Force. He claimed later in life it was THAT job which turned his hair grey....)
David Niven, not a major star but a name actor when the War broke out, somehow ended up doing both—working behind the lines as part of the "Phantom" reconnaissance GHQ Liaison Regiment including being a part of the D-Day Invasion, AND making movies for the English War Effort!
Christopher Lee, who had just started an acting career when the war broke out, trained to be a pilot but had an ocular condition that prevented him from it, so he ::coughs discreetly:: did this and that for RAF Intelligence—including sabotaging Nazi planes in North Africa as part of the Long Range Desert Group, but ::cough:: never EVER was a part of the Special Operations Executive ::cough, cough:: despite speaking eight languages including German, Spanish, Italian, French and Russian; knew a number of fairly important persons on both sides of the conflict; and tracked down Nazi war criminals both during and after the War ::coughs like I'm losing a lung!::... But nope, wasn't in SOE at all!
Let's not forget actor Wayne Morris, who had just arrived at the verge of being "A list" when the war broke out, who became a Naval Aviator and then had to use a family connection to his uncle, David McCampbell (later the Navy Ace of Aces) to get away from flying around on PR tours, who became the only actual "Hollywood Ace" in World War II, shooting down 10 Japanese planes as a member of VF-15, the Navy's "Top Guns of World War II." He was such a good fighter pilot that he was the guy who checked out the new replacements and certified them ready for operations. He returned to find he had missed his moment, and became "King of the B Westerns" after the war. His last role was his best, the cowardly Lieutenant Roget in "Paths of Glory," before he died of a heart attack while visiting Dave in his new command of the aircraft carrier Bon Homme Richard.
David Niven actually rose to be Chief of Intelligence in 21st Army Group. He makes a cameo appearance in "The Phantom Patrol," James Benn's latest "Billy Boyle World War II Mysteries" - in which he and the boys manage not to get caught by the Germans while running around in the Ardennes Forest at the outset of the Battle of the Bulge. (Seriously, if you like accurate WW2 history and a great mystery story, you can't go wrong with the series, but you have to read them in order because characters from previous books show up in later ones - I like the series so well I did a blurb on this one for Jim)
Yes, but quite a few served—most with distinction, some with valor, and others..."did their bit".
Many of those who couldn't serve because they were too old or were somehow 4F served in the Coast Guard or the Merchant Marine or in some other capacity—Humphrey Bogart, who's served in WWI, was deemed too old to serve in WWII but volunteered for patrol duty with the Coast Guard since he has his own boat, the SLUG NUTTY.
Being "white" is a highly overrated thing anyway, Morgan look at trump spokes-ghoul Herr Miller, he thinks being white is his greatest achievement. He is evil to the core.
Totally agree!! I think hubby got Butt hurt🙄 he thinks I’m not paying enough attention to him cause I’m on Substack.. dude after 3 kids and more than decade together.. seriously??😂🤣😂
My hubby wants everyone to know he’s white .. yes dear.. except he’s in the sun everyday for work and he’s actually more tan than I am on his arms and face.. 🙄
A Republican running for State Senate in Idaho recently yelled at his opponent to "go back where you came from!" This was following a question from a voter about whether discrimination exists in Idaho (he claimed it doesn't, natch, before shouting that racist ass statement).
My memory is iffy, at best (stroke), but I recently read of a Native American legislator (here's the iffy part...can't remember name or where) of whom a MAGA stated, "I wonder if he is here legally." Dear God!
white people? take their land and put them in camps? I can't imagine why you'd think that!! (I've been hearing the QGP is already measuring the national parks for new drapes & living room furniture. Or oil rigs, at least.)
I'm worried about all of this, but most of all for anyone who looks like they're from south of the border... like a good part of my family, including all of my grandkids. Nope, not worried, exactly -- more like completely fucking terrified.
Never thought we might see worse treatment of Native peoples than what has been done since Columbus showed up. The treatment of the kids taken away to be "educated" was horrific -- researchers are still finding graves here and in Canada.
During my misspent youth in the south, we used to call people who are now MAGATs poor white trash. The difference between then and now is that back then they didn't take it as a complement.
So true! Then they crawled out from under their dilapidated porches with their hound DAWGS that they didn’t eat and started listening to Rush and the FIX’d Noise.
I'm saving my Champagne for the big event. Oh, buy American! I'll be having sparkling wine from Sonoma. It's better anyway. Does popcorn go with bubbly?
I would like to suggest the Roederer L'Hermitage Rose, grown from grapes in Mendocino county, CA. It is vinted and bottled there. Mendocino is the county north of Sonoma county in California. It is our favorite sparkling wine. ( 'champagne' )
Actually yes! Try a white cheddar! Popcorn that is. I will be dancin in the street and partying my ass off ! And then I hope we send a couple of immigrants home, Elon Musk and Melania Trump! Send them back!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🤣
Depends on the Tequila Rick, some are meant for shooters, others are savored! There’s a place I love in Mahual Mexico that has Tequila tasting, with over 100 varieties…iIRC walking back to my place was a challenge. Great idea, enjoy!!
Thanks Patrick. My wife and I sampled some good ones at a wedding in Cabo a few years back. The tequila tasting in Mahual sounds like it was quite the treat.
There. Right there. The loser and his campaign staff can't distance themselves from this. They SAW it and read all that hate-filled crap BEFORE. They admit they took out a "joke" about Harris, so that means they were FINE with everything else. They also read it as it was also being uploaded to the teleprompter.
When they can’t find what they’re looking for all they’ve got is that tasteless tactless slur.. all I can see is a flying bitch slap 👋🏽 to their Repuklicant Bullshit
But, but Adolph Hitler Trump stated yesterday that his NAZI rally last Sunday in NYC was a “love fest” and he was proud to be a part of the grand event! Biggest shit show of MAGATs ever and any Puerto Rican or Latino voting Adolph Hitler Trump is not thinking right!!
Did you hear Kasich on MSNBC yesterday? Telling us we will all be ok and will survive. Easy for him to say. I'm sure he's financially well off and younger. I'm in my mid 70's and planning on retiring soon. I have SS and a 401 K. That's it. No husband or family to support me. If Trump gets in and messes with my SS and my 401K tanks, I don't have years left to recover like younger people do. I was ok during 2008 and 2022 stock market slump because I was still working. I won't have that option to work or outwait Trump ever leaving office. These are real worries for us seniors and I know I'm in better shape than many retired citizens. All I worked for these last few years will be gone. It makes me sick just thinking of it.
I'm in the same boat. 70 and getting ready to retire. Childless dog lady, widow, estranged from what's left of family, abandoned relationships that had become toxic due to right wing hate. I have much to lose also.
Well said. Absolutely no doubt that trump as president would cause A) steadily increasing inflation via both his universal tariffs and the increased debt load from reducing corporate and high-end taxes further, causing even more bond issuance and money creation: B) fulfilling the long time Republican wet dream of reducing Social Security and Medicare payments (God help a retiree's standard of living): and C) tanking the stock market (so 401k or other retirement assets) due to the eventual realization by business and investment heads that the once stable, reliable set of laws and regulations that American businesses could make future plans for their companies on will be tossed out the window in a law-breaking, impulsive trump administration that picks corporate winners and losers based on trump's whims and enemy list. All these outcomes will affect retirees far more than people still working, whose incomes will at least keep pace close to the much higher inflation we'd soon see.
You're scaring people who depend on SS and 401(k)s. I have no doubt that you're absolutely right, but I'm not sure that posting this after two people talk about how afraid they are is helpful.
I hope like hell that trump doesn't get the electoral college fluke again this time. But I happen to think it's important to be prepared and see reality. Scary is exactly how things are right now.
This is HUGE. Even without the poisonous effect of Trump and crew, it’s going to be hard enough on seniors—doubly worse for senior women for all the reasons that women’s economic challenges have always clipped them behind their knees. And who makes up the majority of those living a century or more? Women. Of course.
Your 401k doesn't have to tank. Talk to an advisor about your concerns. There are most likely ways to move your investments so you won't get wiped out. Right now I have a ton of cash in CDs at 4.5% to 5% interest. Thinking about selling stock and moving to conservative funds or cash You might miss out on a little upside before you can get back in if things turn out well, but you might sleep better in the mean time.
If Kamala is projected to win in the early morning hours of Nov. 6, things will be fine (or at least steady-as-she-goes) for the stock market. But if it's trump, all bets are off. His fans might go crazy and push the markets temporarily up in their enthusiasm. But at some point the reality WILL set in . So yeah, I think it's safest to sit on the sidelines as of Nov.4. (Not a soothsayer, so act accordingly)
There are a hellava lot of us aged and aging Boomers here in Substacklandia. If we all vote blue, we can crush the maggots under our collective heels. 1-2-3: Vote!!!
I abhor violence. But it's way past time to GET FUCKING REAL. Maga are domestic terrorists. Time to shoot to kill rioters, election violence from maga.
Joe Biden has not done one thing related to the new “immunity power” POTUS was granted by SCOTUS. Does anyone think Donald Drumpf would do the same? It would be a nightmare of epic proportions.
As am I, BJTS. I’m too old to relocate and we don’t want to leave our grandkids. It would be untenable to stay, but, we WILL stay and take it to the streets if need be.
I hear you, it would so hard for a lot of people to leave for a lot of different reasons.
Relatedly, Beau from the Fifth Column has an interesting video on this question: when is it time to leave? (he's talking about moving from an extremist state like Texas rather than leaving the country, but I think it still applies): https://youtu.be/O74huDYBPbI?si=3iv8IMSFjsU3Lo5M
I'm wondering if I'll be able to survive in a Fascist Country. But my time on this earth will be over sooner than others. I worry about my children and their children. As for people who vote for him, you deserve what you get and I hope you enjoy it.
I agree, election day itself shouldn't be a problem. Trump has done nothing to bring in new voters, and plenty to drive away anyone on the fence. What could happen after scares the shit out of me. Luckily, we have a sane person in the White House this time, and I truly believe he will be prepared for the bullshit
The good news is - if Shitler and his mouth- breather army decide to foment some sort of Timothy McVeigh campaign of violence - the current Commander in Chief won’t be passively watching it on TV, and the DOJ won’t be run by some law clerk who mows Clarence Thomas’s lawn (assuming Merrick Garland doesn’t wait three years to act.) And lest we forget - the Supremes gave Biden blanket immunity to do whatever the hell he needs to do to put down Insurrection ‘24, including any congressional fuckery. But you can bet, it will be a fucking mess.
That's what I'm thinking. They know more than we do. They know what's coming. I would guess the FBI, DOJ, and the CIA know who his criminal dick lickers are. They're like burglars with bells in their asses anyway.
Exactly, arne. I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard our Secret Service deleted all of their text messages from the period of time surrounding Jan 6th. WTAF?
That Mike Johnson is the actual Speaker of the House is stupefying. How badly must Republicon leaders suspend reality to stand behind this blabbering bag of nonsense?
Keep telling us that, Jeff. We will be ok!!!!! I need it. The number of people voting for that sick, racist, misogynistic, evil pervert is still frightening and soul crushing to me…….I never dreamed it “could happen here.”
Right. But WE are voting BLUE in landslide numbers! turd keeps shooting himself in the foot. MSG hate fest, imo, will be the straw that breaks the camel's back for "maybe Trump" voters & POC. Or any decent voter
I worry about violence on election day and aimed at people counting ballots afterward. Early voting is the solution to getting caught up in whatever they pull. And ballot tracking if you mail your ballot or put it in a drop box. I think it’ll be enough of a blow-out that all they have is violence & SCOTUS.
Yes, it was one idiot who left devices in two dropboxes in WA and OR. Not far apart. The dummy drove up in the same car to both, so he was arrested quickly. Genius plan, since all can be replaced.
But Jeff, what do you think about Trump announcing he has a little plan with Mike Johnson? They say that's why he was in NY and CA. Not to win the presidency but to win enough House reps to certify him.
The after is going to be really scary, there are 6 of 9 black robed assholes salivating at the chance to dig their teeth into the steal election hoagie being prepared by, not the dumb one, dipshit 45 but the anointed one, JD McCouchfuck. Going to be a roller coaster ride, loops and all.
Don't be. We fucking outnumber them by a LOT. They're noisy and they get ALL the press, but we outnumber them. And many of us are - surprise, MAGAts! - armed just as they are. And I don't know if you've ever been in your local Walfart, but they're in no condition to actually fight. Plus, the Extreme Cult gave Joe permission to have them all shot. (That's not what they think they did, but it is, when you cut through their bullshit.) He can, and will, stop any bullshit they try to start.
God I hope so. I hope Joe has the balls to do what it takes if necessary. God, SMITE them if those MAGA zealots try. Coming from a card carrying gun owner snowflake
Next week, after we the people have crushed and flushed Fraud Trump, it’ll be time to get started with the hard work necessary to fix the disgusting crap that’s been going on in our country:
1. Arrest Michael Flynn for making death threats
2. Revoke Trump’s bail and keep him in jail until he’s ready to go to prison
3. Quickly move forward with Fraud Felon Trump’s trials
4. Arrest Nazi Steven Miller for being ugly and a Mor0n
actually, Patrick, if I was the President of the U.S., I would nationalize (federalize) both SPACE-X and STARLINK. Musk is a security threat to the U.S.
Musk may not be aware of a U.S. law that allows the president to execute "march in orders" (take over federally-funded private assets) if it becomes a serious issue of national security. We'd need a president and congress with a spine.
Quoting Robert Reich today: "In early October, Musk registered with the Texas secretary of state’s office a new corporation called United States of America, Inc." Our government was incredibly stupid to award him $1.6 billion to monopolize satellite communications. He has zero loyalty to his adopted country.
I don't think that's what Greg above meant. Question instead is, how in hell did at least 75 million of our fellow citizens end up brainwashed to the point of supporting this trump creature and his imitators in Republican party politics.
I think Rupert Murdoch and fox "news" happened to this country. All thanks to Reagan. They brainwashed the shit out of a bunch of people for decades on end and ended up with magats.
I'd do for free. I actually did it to a gropper at the local ice rink when I was a kid. I was a small kid. But, a fucking scrapper. I did get in trouble and he was twice my size. Fucker. 😅
ESPECIALLY arresting Miller! He must emulate Mengele and Goebbels, from the tone of the policies he’d put in place. He and McCouch are scarier than Grandpa Schitzenpants.
Makes me wonder what Trump is doing when he's an hour - three hours - late. Detoxing? Pouting? Trying to find new writers? Extra hair? (The spray tanner is a distinct possibility.) And people have been leaving the Trump rallies even before he arrives, because he's late. I consider it a very good sign.
Snorting a couple big lines only takes a couple of seconds, the result is nearly immediate…filling his diaper a couple minutes more, changing the soiled diaper, depending on who’s around to take on the disgusting task, maybe the reason for his tardiness fun!
His supplier is Junior who is constantly cracked out of his mind…and is beyond stupid. They need to create a new descriptor for him and the rest of the Trump bizarros. Leatherface has more brains than the entire family.
Does anyone else think turd is intentionally sabotaging his election? As the outrage settles, the Nazi fest was an indescribably vile, vulgar, nakedly hate spewing event.
If the race is "tied"" or close, every Hispanic and Black vote is being sought. So Turd's maga base is all in. So turd throws a vicious hate fest? Then has plans to rally afterwards for the Latino vote? How. many of his teetering supporters saw that and decided "now I'm not voting for him".
I figured he was late because he was trying to figure out how to distance himself from his Nazi rally without offending his supporters who see it as a feature, not a bug. Turns out he hasn’t addressed it at all…smart move.
But... "Black people love watermelon! Latinos have a lot of babies!" This is CUTTING EDGE material he's putting out here! I guess we're just too dumb and woke to understand his level of sophistication.
That reminds me, why didn't they have the baby-faced murder give a speech at the hate rally? He could have cried and begged everyone to vote for Shitler.
Jeff, good point about being too far in the bubble. It's a very cautionary tale. Scott Adams really did blow a multi-million dollar empire through his inability to see through the thick haze of the bubble he'd immersed himself in. All that work will never be collected or read again.
How about finding a spot for maggots in Russia somewhere…”Only for American Maggots.” Then they can say all the shit they want and never enter AMERICA again! Damn-this is disgusting!
Sundowning grandpa Nazi Pants??? That’s it. Right there! 😂😂😂😂. Amazing these assholes are so full of themselves they think it’s ok to say this crap. Is this even real life? 🤦♀️
Most of them don't even know that Puerto Rico is an American territory, and that they are American citizens. The lack of education is truly mind blowing with MAGA.
I’m reminded of the old saying, “Give a man enough rope and he’ll hang himself.”
I’m all for it. The more he talks, the more he comes off as a total A-hole. But, that’s what his MAGA group likes about him. He speaks their language.
He’s the new Pied Piper. Only instead of the flute, he’s driving a dump truck and dropping garbage for his followers to feast upon. “Let them eat sewage”.
Everyone involved in the rally knew what the comic was going to say. The irony of McNobody's jokes is that the actual funny part is his bombing in front of a national audience. Even funnier is that Dumpster is claiming he never heard of the guy and his handlers are still arguing about what to do. In the meantime, Puerto Ricans and others are making sure the island of garbage line goes viral.
More trump rallies! please! It is delightful to watch them hit the wall and blast into flames! This will be a blowout. But the GOP Felon & Fascist supporters need people to hear (from the right wing owned media conglomerates) that the race is close. They need to tell us, something must be wrong when they lose! THEIR polls said they’d win…so there must be something wrong here.
But we’re not buying their BS. They hold rallies to insult every group of people on earth who aren’t white christian nationalist Nazi/Fascist loving dotards.
Let them have more rope! All they want.
And if they decide a 2nd violent coup is needed. They’ll have to dodge the bullets of the National Guard this time. Orange Felon can’t make the orders, Biden will. And frankly, I think Biden just might be pretty sick & tired of these jizz & bleach drinkers. Maybe instead of warrior helmets, they can wear ear pads.
They DON’T HAVE THE VOTES. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to threaten so much!
It's particularly rich to hear a clearly racist comedian defend himself by the usual "hey-you-guys-are-snowflakes-and-just-don't-know-what's-funny" excuse. Of course, Shady Vance said basically the same thing when he got up to speak: It's just that, folks, "we have to get past this", after all a joke is a joke! Sure, Shady, nothing to see here!
Also, if I could personally throttle the assholes on the far-right that haul out the already super-old line of, "take your tampon out" or calling Governor Walz "Tampon Tim", I would throttle away with glee in my heart! If nothing else, it's a very thinly veiled way of insinuating someone's a wimp, like a woman (because only women use tampons). Well, I'm a woman and I'm sure as hell no wimp, or a snowflake, or any other label the far-right wishes to place on me just because I'm female. Hell, I'm pretty certain I have bigger metaphorical balls then a lot of men I've known (and unfortunately, have worked for) in my life.
And while I'm at it, let me also say that just because I'm well past the age of possible fertilization (thank the universe!) it DOES NOT mean that I, along with millions of older women, no longer can or should have a say in the freedom of choice struggle, not to mention the larger implications of tampering with women's health initiatives, insurance coverage and government interference over the same! This topic, too, has become another passive-agressive joke among the far-right fools and to this I offer a hardy FUCK OFF and mind your own business!
I haven’t seen anyone mention it so I will: Native Americans would like to know when the Apple Dumpling Crime Consortium is vacating North America since America is for TRUE Americans who didn’t call themselves that but were absolutely here first.
MAGAs don't know history. Or anthropology. Or archaeology. Or genetics. Or human culture. Or much of anything else.
Or anything else.
Fixed it. :-)
Indeed you did, I was so disappointed that Elon Musk turned out to be so terribly stupid, not knowing any history, or understanding the simple concept of free speech. He just listens to ignorant people and outsources his opinion to them.
Apparently, not all the best and brightest, become naturalized citizens.
I think his right wing racist convictions cause him to be a free speech absolutist in order to unleash hate speech
They don’t know Jack shit.The common denominator is they all hate the same people and things.
That’s why I called them the AD Gang. They’re definitely evil but also stupider than a box of rocks — why else do they keep saying the quiet part out loud? By all means keep talking, but don’t be afraid of them. FIGHT BACK 👊🏼
💪💪💪💪
Oh!! I thought you said E.D.
My favorite line with Jackshit in it is from Army of Darkness, starring Bruce Campbell.
He tells his captor, "You ain't in charge of nothing but Jack and shit, and Jack just left town."
They know how to be evil. They are evil to the core!
True dat Linda, the link between ignorance and hatred is undeniable!
Exactly, the peerless in vacuous idiocy coterie is definitely clueless HI2!
It's estimated that over 50% of adults read at or below the 6th grade level................and they must all be maga
They know how to hate
MAGA,Morons Always Grifting Assholes.
I saw a great comment elsewhere on Substack that told the MAGAs, if you don't have money for groceries or gas, maybe you shouldn't have wasted it on gold sneakers, Bibles from China, watches, shitty trading cards, NFTs or any of the other trump crap
Or how to find their …
They know how to dress tacky and wear cheap tchotchkes.
Or decency. Or humility. Or empathy. Or kindness.
Oh, come on, you know the Indians were selfishly keeping all this for themselves when Europeans were in need of it. John Wayne even said so, so it must be true. Amirite?
(/snark)
Because of all the tidbits about actors who went to war and became legends in their time, allow me, please to bring up one more--Elvis Presley. No, he didn't do anything heroic in WW2, but he, too, refused to go into the Army's Entertainment Division. He enlisted and was sent to Grafenwehr (sp?) Germany. Ten degrees colder in the winter and 20 degrees warmer in the summer. The first thing he did was get a gallon jar from the chow hall, and put his pay in it. All $78.00 plus change, then he put it on top of his wall locker, then told the guys in his barracks that he didn't need it. If they were short, to take what they needed, and if or when they could pay it back, to do so. He never checked. He pulled KP and Guard duty on holidays, relieving those enlisted who had wives and family so they could stay home with them. When he rotated for his discharge, he took the jar with the money down to the First Sergeant and told him to do something nice for the guys. I was told this by a soldier who served with him.
A real mensch!
And he was suuuuuch a fair minded fellow, yeah?
He certainly was. Applied for a draft deferment in World War II on the grounds that making his war movies was "essential to the war effort."
Which was why my very conservative WW2 vet dad didn’t like him.
The funny thing is, lots of movie stars served in WWII—and many of them desperately tried NOT to be given "safe" assignments flying generals around, or worse making movies for the "war effort"!
Everybody knows about James Stewart starting out as a private so he wouldn't get stuck with REMF jobs (and getting stuck as an Instructor Pilot anyway for a few years before he was finally allowed to head up a bomber group over Germany, which he did for twenty combat missions before they promoted him to a desk job! (Operations Officer of the 453rd Bomb Group, and later Chief of Staff of the 2nd Combat wing, 2nd Air Division of the 8th Air Force.

But nope, wasn't in SOE at all!
Christopher Lee, on his mother’s side, was related to the Borgias. What a man.
Don't forget Ted Williams either,not a movie star,but a skilled fighter pilot.
Let's not forget actor Wayne Morris, who had just arrived at the verge of being "A list" when the war broke out, who became a Naval Aviator and then had to use a family connection to his uncle, David McCampbell (later the Navy Ace of Aces) to get away from flying around on PR tours, who became the only actual "Hollywood Ace" in World War II, shooting down 10 Japanese planes as a member of VF-15, the Navy's "Top Guns of World War II." He was such a good fighter pilot that he was the guy who checked out the new replacements and certified them ready for operations. He returned to find he had missed his moment, and became "King of the B Westerns" after the war.

Lotta big name stars heroically stayed out of the service in order to make money and save their precious careers.
Yes, but quite a few served—most with distinction, some with valor, and others..."did their bit".
Many of those who couldn't serve because they were too old or were somehow 4F served in the Coast Guard or the Merchant Marine or in some other capacity—Humphrey Bogart, who's served in WWI, was deemed too old to serve in WWII but volunteered for patrol duty with the Coast Guard since he has his own boat, the SLUG NUTTY.
Personally, I thought John Wayne was a terrible actor. I don't know why he was so popular. Maybe because he was "a man's man" or something.
A Mans Man who evaded the draft.
I’m a Native Hawaiian WE WILL VOTE BLUE because WE are NOT WHITE and I worry about my family and my children in this F’d up political climate.
Good on you Morgan!
Thank you Patrick
Be proud, and don't vote for evil!
Being "white" is a highly overrated thing anyway, Morgan look at trump spokes-ghoul Herr Miller, he thinks being white is his greatest achievement. He is evil to the core.
Totally agree!! I think hubby got Butt hurt🙄 he thinks I’m not paying enough attention to him cause I’m on Substack.. dude after 3 kids and more than decade together.. seriously??😂🤣😂
I love your comments, and very much enjoy reading them. Tell him we said your comments are a public service!
Hehehe!!! Natalie.. I got an eye roll😂🤣😂
Ah well, I tried!
My hubby wants everyone to know he’s white .. yes dear.. except he’s in the sun everyday for work and he’s actually more tan than I am on his arms and face.. 🙄
A Republican running for State Senate in Idaho recently yelled at his opponent to "go back where you came from!" This was following a question from a voter about whether discrimination exists in Idaho (he claimed it doesn't, natch, before shouting that racist ass statement).
The kicker? His opponent is Native American.

Fucking hell. (Saying that a lot this week.)
Exactly. Tell Steven Miller 2.79 million Native Americans would like him to crawl back under the rock or hellmouth from which he ascended.
My memory is iffy, at best (stroke), but I recently read of a Native American legislator (here's the iffy part...can't remember name or where) of whom a MAGA stated, "I wonder if he is here legally." Dear God!
I'm wondering what the American Nazis have in store for Native Americans. I'm thinking put them in camps and take their land for personal use.
white people? take their land and put them in camps? I can't imagine why you'd think that!! (I've been hearing the QGP is already measuring the national parks for new drapes & living room furniture. Or oil rigs, at least.)
I'm worried about all of this, but most of all for anyone who looks like they're from south of the border... like a good part of my family, including all of my grandkids. Nope, not worried, exactly -- more like completely fucking terrified.
Never thought we might see worse treatment of Native peoples than what has been done since Columbus showed up. The treatment of the kids taken away to be "educated" was horrific -- researchers are still finding graves here and in Canada.
Sorta like our colonialists forefathers Patricia!

beautiful!
Fuck. I have. I'm Lakota and Ojibwe. You all need to get your asses out of my land! And take the damn slaves with you!
See how ridiculous that sounds? 💙

Trash Collection Day is November 5!🇵🇷🇺🇸🌊
During my misspent youth in the south, we used to call people who are now MAGATs poor white trash. The difference between then and now is that back then they didn't take it as a complement.
So true! Then they crawled out from under their dilapidated porches with their hound DAWGS that they didn’t eat and started listening to Rush and the FIX’d Noise.
I’m going to watch that Dumpster fire burn with glee and a nice glass of wine.
I'm saving my Champagne for the big event. Oh, buy American! I'll be having sparkling wine from Sonoma. It's better anyway. Does popcorn go with bubbly?
Ditto on the Sonoma bubbly and popcorn drizzled with an appropriate cheese
Bubbly goes with everything! (That's my story and I am sticking to it 🥂)
I would like to suggest the Roederer L'Hermitage Rose, grown from grapes in Mendocino county, CA. It is vinted and bottled there. Mendocino is the county north of Sonoma county in California. It is our favorite sparkling wine. ( 'champagne' )
Thank you. I love a dry rose'.
Absolutely. 🍿
Everything goes with bubbly.
Actually yes! Try a white cheddar! Popcorn that is. I will be dancin in the street and partying my ass off ! And then I hope we send a couple of immigrants home, Elon Musk and Melania Trump! Send them back!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🤣
If I had a Nickel for every bottle of prosecco I've finished since 2016, I'd be a millionaire.
Always!
Chocolate mousse and a Demi of espresso do though Arne!!
And I will chow down on cannabis edibles and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Like
Gummy’s work as well Walter, I like your style!
Me too!
Sounds like a plan and I'll gladly partake with my favorite tequila on the rocks.
Hmmmm, tequila. I have a favorite as well, but am out right now. I still have time to change my mind, get some and join you.
Depends on the Tequila Rick, some are meant for shooters, others are savored! There’s a place I love in Mahual Mexico that has Tequila tasting, with over 100 varieties…iIRC walking back to my place was a challenge. Great idea, enjoy!!
Thanks Patrick. My wife and I sampled some good ones at a wedding in Cabo a few years back. The tequila tasting in Mahual sounds like it was quite the treat.
That’s a grand idea Kay-EI, perhaps I’ll do the same, with a flute or two of champagne!!
You are right: trash IS picked up next Tuesday. At least here in my neck of the woods. Got a pumpkin to put in there.
Hey Daniel, are we neighbors, or do we just have the same garbage pickup day? 😊
Yes it is and hopefully these fascist-fucks starting with Nazi denying dear leader end up in the dumpster and the courtroom where they belong.
There. Right there. The loser and his campaign staff can't distance themselves from this. They SAW it and read all that hate-filled crap BEFORE. They admit they took out a "joke" about Harris, so that means they were FINE with everything else. They also read it as it was also being uploaded to the teleprompter.
What a hate-fest. What a bunch of liars.
Wasn’t the “joke” the MAGATS took out one that contained the “C” word? There’s a week left. I’m sure they will work it in at the next Hate Rally.
But yet they left in the part where someone called our country's vice president a prostitute.
How they forget that their leader, Herr Fuckface, loves pristitutes!
Yeah, but he objects to paying them. They should get extra pay for hazardous duty.
When they can’t find what they’re looking for all they’ve got is that tasteless tactless slur.. all I can see is a flying bitch slap 👋🏽 to their Repuklicant Bullshit
🎯‼️
It’s really quite amazing how insipid these clowns are Mark!
These people and their hateful rhetoric make me sick. By November 6th I cannot forgive them nor excuse their ignorance.
Yes…you nailed it!!!
This is simply a prelude on how they will run the country if they manage to steal the election
But, but Adolph Hitler Trump stated yesterday that his NAZI rally last Sunday in NYC was a “love fest” and he was proud to be a part of the grand event! Biggest shit show of MAGATs ever and any Puerto Rican or Latino voting Adolph Hitler Trump is not thinking right!!
I am so fucking exhausted. And abjectly terrified.
I think we're going to be OK on election day. it's what comes after that worries me. but I think we'll come through that OK in the end as well
Did you hear Kasich on MSNBC yesterday? Telling us we will all be ok and will survive. Easy for him to say. I'm sure he's financially well off and younger. I'm in my mid 70's and planning on retiring soon. I have SS and a 401 K. That's it. No husband or family to support me. If Trump gets in and messes with my SS and my 401K tanks, I don't have years left to recover like younger people do. I was ok during 2008 and 2022 stock market slump because I was still working. I won't have that option to work or outwait Trump ever leaving office. These are real worries for us seniors and I know I'm in better shape than many retired citizens. All I worked for these last few years will be gone. It makes me sick just thinking of it.
I'm in the same boat. 70 and getting ready to retire. Childless dog lady, widow, estranged from what's left of family, abandoned relationships that had become toxic due to right wing hate. I have much to lose also.
Yes that's my pal Mingo. I'm his mom and caretaker while he's on this earth.
Well said. Absolutely no doubt that trump as president would cause A) steadily increasing inflation via both his universal tariffs and the increased debt load from reducing corporate and high-end taxes further, causing even more bond issuance and money creation: B) fulfilling the long time Republican wet dream of reducing Social Security and Medicare payments (God help a retiree's standard of living): and C) tanking the stock market (so 401k or other retirement assets) due to the eventual realization by business and investment heads that the once stable, reliable set of laws and regulations that American businesses could make future plans for their companies on will be tossed out the window in a law-breaking, impulsive trump administration that picks corporate winners and losers based on trump's whims and enemy list. All these outcomes will affect retirees far more than people still working, whose incomes will at least keep pace close to the much higher inflation we'd soon see.
How can seniors in Florida support the flimflam nan when he threatens SS & Medicare? and AZ too. Isn’t that political suicide to promote those ideas?
It's a suicide cult.
You're scaring people who depend on SS and 401(k)s. I have no doubt that you're absolutely right, but I'm not sure that posting this after two people talk about how afraid they are is helpful.
I hope like hell that trump doesn't get the electoral college fluke again this time. But I happen to think it's important to be prepared and see reality. Scary is exactly how things are right now.
It's the fascists who are planning on doing this that are "scaring people". Being scared is a good start but getting mad and fighting is much better.
The truth is they should be afraid. Putting chocolate on a turd doesn’t make it Devine.
I feel you. I am in the same boat. It is worrisome.
I feel you sister
Deborah:
This is HUGE. Even without the poisonous effect of Trump and crew, it’s going to be hard enough on seniors—doubly worse for senior women for all the reasons that women’s economic challenges have always clipped them behind their knees. And who makes up the majority of those living a century or more? Women. Of course.
Make sure to vote appropriately!
Your 401k doesn't have to tank. Talk to an advisor about your concerns. There are most likely ways to move your investments so you won't get wiped out. Right now I have a ton of cash in CDs at 4.5% to 5% interest. Thinking about selling stock and moving to conservative funds or cash You might miss out on a little upside before you can get back in if things turn out well, but you might sleep better in the mean time.
Good thing a fascist government can't just seize your assets because you're an "enemy of the State."
If Kamala is projected to win in the early morning hours of Nov. 6, things will be fine (or at least steady-as-she-goes) for the stock market. But if it's trump, all bets are off. His fans might go crazy and push the markets temporarily up in their enthusiasm. But at some point the reality WILL set in . So yeah, I think it's safest to sit on the sidelines as of Nov.4. (Not a soothsayer, so act accordingly)
Fear not. We are going to win. Hey, I’m 74, I get it. But we’re going to win.
There are a hellava lot of us aged and aging Boomers here in Substacklandia. If we all vote blue, we can crush the maggots under our collective heels. 1-2-3: Vote!!!
We have Marc Elias and his team ready, willing and able to tackle the post-election MAGAT Madness.
And Joe with his presidential immunity is not going to allow an armed insurrection.
Putting down an armed insurrection is most certainly within the scope of his presidential duties.
I abhor violence. But it's way past time to GET FUCKING REAL. Maga are domestic terrorists. Time to shoot to kill rioters, election violence from maga.
Am i allowed to say, this time shoot to kill?
Trump famously asked if "they could be shot in the legs" referring to protesters while he was president. This guy lives in such a fantasy void.
IDK, they are Americans no matter how misguided they are. I think we have to wait until they start shooting, then all bets are off.
Maybe that was ScOTUs plan all along?
Joe Biden has not done one thing related to the new “immunity power” POTUS was granted by SCOTUS. Does anyone think Donald Drumpf would do the same? It would be a nightmare of epic proportions.
He's already stated he's NOT going to use the presidential immunity.
Marc Elias had 3 state supreme court wins yesterday re: voting rights. He's on it! As usual. 🗽🗽🗽🗳️🗳️🗳️
I’m so impressed with Democracy Docket and what they are accomplishing to preserve our democracy…and very grateful!
💙💙🤞
I SO hope you are right. I don’t know how to live in a fascist country. I’m terrified.
As am I, BJTS. I’m too old to relocate and we don’t want to leave our grandkids. It would be untenable to stay, but, we WILL stay and take it to the streets if need be.
Same here. Seniors aren’t welcome to move to foreign countries.
Really? I’m moving to Canada if Shithead wins.
I hear you, it would so hard for a lot of people to leave for a lot of different reasons.
Relatedly, Beau from the Fifth Column has an interesting video on this question: when is it time to leave? (he's talking about moving from an extremist state like Texas rather than leaving the country, but I think it still applies): https://youtu.be/O74huDYBPbI?si=3iv8IMSFjsU3Lo5M
Let’s start our own compound in-country somewhere. (Yeah, right)
We are same. Families here, not going anywhere. Seniors, but not feeble. Yet would likely be knocked way back with a dramatic move.
I'm wondering if I'll be able to survive in a Fascist Country. But my time on this earth will be over sooner than others. I worry about my children and their children. As for people who vote for him, you deserve what you get and I hope you enjoy it.
I agree, election day itself shouldn't be a problem. Trump has done nothing to bring in new voters, and plenty to drive away anyone on the fence. What could happen after scares the shit out of me. Luckily, we have a sane person in the White House this time, and I truly believe he will be prepared for the bullshit
The good news is - if Shitler and his mouth- breather army decide to foment some sort of Timothy McVeigh campaign of violence - the current Commander in Chief won’t be passively watching it on TV, and the DOJ won’t be run by some law clerk who mows Clarence Thomas’s lawn (assuming Merrick Garland doesn’t wait three years to act.) And lest we forget - the Supremes gave Biden blanket immunity to do whatever the hell he needs to do to put down Insurrection ‘24, including any congressional fuckery. But you can bet, it will be a fucking mess.
That's what I'm thinking. They know more than we do. They know what's coming. I would guess the FBI, DOJ, and the CIA know who his criminal dick lickers are. They're like burglars with bells in their asses anyway.
I'm just afraid that there are some true believers in those institutions. Remember after the insurrection that they cleaned out their phones?
I'm trusting the process. That's all I have.
Exactly, arne. I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard our Secret Service deleted all of their text messages from the period of time surrounding Jan 6th. WTAF?
Insurrection/Holy Mike is definitely going to some more fuckery after Trump loses,but more than likely he's not going to be Speaker anymore.
That Mike Johnson is the actual Speaker of the House is stupefying. How badly must Republicon leaders suspend reality to stand behind this blabbering bag of nonsense?
But Bruce, Mikey is a holy guy. Just ask his son, who monitors his porn content. That's not at all weird. 🤢
MAGA,Morons Always Grifting Assholes,same with the church.
Keep telling us that, Jeff. We will be ok!!!!! I need it. The number of people voting for that sick, racist, misogynistic, evil pervert is still frightening and soul crushing to me…….I never dreamed it “could happen here.”
Right. But WE are voting BLUE in landslide numbers! turd keeps shooting himself in the foot. MSG hate fest, imo, will be the straw that breaks the camel's back for "maybe Trump" voters & POC. Or any decent voter
Well, it should certainly turn away any undecided Puerto Rican voters who live in the U.S. There are millions of them and they can register and vote.
From your mouth to G-d's ears!
Agree
Should there be any rioting this time, we have a president who will put a stop to it immediately.
I worry about violence on election day and aimed at people counting ballots afterward. Early voting is the solution to getting caught up in whatever they pull. And ballot tracking if you mail your ballot or put it in a drop box. I think it’ll be enough of a blow-out that all they have is violence & SCOTUS.
Incidents yesterday of individuals destroying hundreds of ballots in drop boxes using incendiary devices. It's started.
Yes, it was one idiot who left devices in two dropboxes in WA and OR. Not far apart. The dummy drove up in the same car to both, so he was arrested quickly. Genius plan, since all can be replaced.
But Jeff, what do you think about Trump announcing he has a little plan with Mike Johnson? They say that's why he was in NY and CA. Not to win the presidency but to win enough House reps to certify him.
The election decision only goes to the house of representatives if there is a tie in the electoral votes. This would be an extremely rare occurrence.
I really hope you're right. The alternative is terrifying.
I'm trying to believe this, but damn, it's hard.
We need to show up and vote
The after is going to be really scary, there are 6 of 9 black robed assholes salivating at the chance to dig their teeth into the steal election hoagie being prepared by, not the dumb one, dipshit 45 but the anointed one, JD McCouchfuck. Going to be a roller coaster ride, loops and all.
Don't be. We fucking outnumber them by a LOT. They're noisy and they get ALL the press, but we outnumber them. And many of us are - surprise, MAGAts! - armed just as they are. And I don't know if you've ever been in your local Walfart, but they're in no condition to actually fight. Plus, the Extreme Cult gave Joe permission to have them all shot. (That's not what they think they did, but it is, when you cut through their bullshit.) He can, and will, stop any bullshit they try to start.
Extreme Cult! Love it.
And yes it is not only MAGATs who know the meaning of lock and load.
Except that Joe Biden, being a decent, moral human being, would never have anyone shot, or even consider such a thing.
But oligarchs … waiting in the wings after tangerine man gets knocked off his pedestal.
God I hope so. I hope Joe has the balls to do what it takes if necessary. God, SMITE them if those MAGA zealots try. Coming from a card carrying gun owner snowflake
I’m thinking Trump is much more terrified at the moment Alison!
Yep! The hoosegow is beckoning for him!
Is there an orange jumpsuit large enough for the Melon Felon and his diaper? Will he fall asleep at his arraignment? Inquiring minds want to know.
Next week, after we the people have crushed and flushed Fraud Trump, it’ll be time to get started with the hard work necessary to fix the disgusting crap that’s been going on in our country:
1. Arrest Michael Flynn for making death threats
2. Revoke Trump’s bail and keep him in jail until he’s ready to go to prison
3. Quickly move forward with Fraud Felon Trump’s trials
4. Arrest Nazi Steven Miller for being ugly and a Mor0n
Will be adding to the list daily.
Remove Musk’s citizenship and deport his sorry ass, should make your list Joel!
actually, Patrick, if I was the President of the U.S., I would nationalize (federalize) both SPACE-X and STARLINK. Musk is a security threat to the U.S.
Musk may not be aware of a U.S. law that allows the president to execute "march in orders" (take over federally-funded private assets) if it becomes a serious issue of national security. We'd need a president and congress with a spine.
THANK YOU, SHARON, for pointing out that law. I will make it a point to make damn sure that my Rep and Senators know about that law.
This is what I would do — he is clearly a national security threat and our reliance on the whims of this lunatic man-child is untenable.
Quoting Robert Reich today: "In early October, Musk registered with the Texas secretary of state’s office a new corporation called United States of America, Inc." Our government was incredibly stupid to award him $1.6 billion to monopolize satellite communications. He has zero loyalty to his adopted country.
Arrest all of Trump's enablers, particularly his cronies in Congress.
Right on Linda!!
5. Also seek the answer to WTF happened to this country??
Fascist Trump happened because too many Democrats and Independents didn’t bother to vote because Hillary was sure to win.
Trump made it OK for racists and bigots to come out of their holes. 😡
I VOTED. MANY OF US DID. Hillary got more votes than Dumpy. Blame the EC, not us.
I don't think that's what Greg above meant. Question instead is, how in hell did at least 75 million of our fellow citizens end up brainwashed to the point of supporting this trump creature and his imitators in Republican party politics.
Replace AG Garland with someone who will take action not sit on his thumbs
I think Rupert Murdoch and fox "news" happened to this country. All thanks to Reagan. They brainwashed the shit out of a bunch of people for decades on end and ended up with magats.
somebody go shake sleeping Merrick Garland
SHAKE him? How about FIRE him? That sits much better with me. He is less than worthless.
President Kamala will get rid of Garland in a hurry.
why not both.gif?
How about indicting him for malfeasance, obstruction and conspiracy!
That sounds pretty good to me - I am sure we could come up with a few more charges, too, just to make it stick.
Or bury his his breathless body already vorpal!
I'm volunteering to kick Steven Goebbels Miller in the nuts with a pair of ice skates on. I've got to work on my anger issues. 🤔😂
Thanks for the visual, Lisa59. I shall carry it in my heart for the final run to victory.
🤣🤣🤣 Happy to help!! 💙
The visual of you doing that is absolutely breathtaking - I would be glad to pay to see (and hear!) that!!!
I'd do for free. I actually did it to a gropper at the local ice rink when I was a kid. I was a small kid. But, a fucking scrapper. I did get in trouble and he was twice my size. Fucker. 😅
I hope you left permanent damage. That’s exactly what he deserved. ⛸️⛸️
Thank you, he definitely did.
A double toe loop?
Dumpy's a flight risk, and he has all his passports, a private plane, and copies of classified docs. Definitely revoke his ROR.
ESPECIALLY arresting Miller! He must emulate Mengele and Goebbels, from the tone of the policies he’d put in place. He and McCouch are scarier than Grandpa Schitzenpants.
Too short of a list. Add Musk for sure.
Oh I want to follow you! You are speaking my language.
Apparently, trump has called an emergency press conference but is over an hour late. I'm guessing his spray tanner got clogged.
Makes me wonder what Trump is doing when he's an hour - three hours - late. Detoxing? Pouting? Trying to find new writers? Extra hair? (The spray tanner is a distinct possibility.) And people have been leaving the Trump rallies even before he arrives, because he's late. I consider it a very good sign.
I think they have to dose him, then wait for the meds to take effect.
Snorting a couple big lines only takes a couple of seconds, the result is nearly immediate…filling his diaper a couple minutes more, changing the soiled diaper, depending on who’s around to take on the disgusting task, maybe the reason for his tardiness fun!
Maybe he ran out of clean diapers and sent an aide to buy a few more boxes.
If I were a reporter and the principal speaker was an hour late, I would leave and give him no press whatsoever.
His supplier is Junior who is constantly cracked out of his mind…and is beyond stupid. They need to create a new descriptor for him and the rest of the Trump bizarros. Leatherface has more brains than the entire family.
He’s making people wait, because being the abject moron he is, he thinks it’s a “power move.”
Assholes like him always do shit like this.
Maybe glitching up and swaying to a song playlist ...with a fully loaded diaper on board that must be changed... ? It takes time, these things.
Mlly guess is he and his staff are arguing about what to say.
Does anyone else think turd is intentionally sabotaging his election? As the outrage settles, the Nazi fest was an indescribably vile, vulgar, nakedly hate spewing event.
If the race is "tied"" or close, every Hispanic and Black vote is being sought. So Turd's maga base is all in. So turd throws a vicious hate fest? Then has plans to rally afterwards for the Latino vote? How. many of his teetering supporters saw that and decided "now I'm not voting for him".
Agree!
Possibly, but for a guy who claims he doesn’t use a teleprompter, the whole thing likely scripted Ann!
Diaper change.
I figured he was late because he was trying to figure out how to distance himself from his Nazi rally without offending his supporters who see it as a feature, not a bug. Turns out he hasn’t addressed it at all…smart move.
Karla, TFG called it a lovefest today, so I guess that settles it./s.
Did he say that today? I eventually tuned out.
The MAGAts need to justify their support of him so that makes sense, and you’re correct that they think we’re stupid.
🤣🤣
🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣✌🏻💙
😂😂😂
He couldn't get the drug dosage just right. It's tricky. That's why he's often late.
In addition to Bad Bunny, Marc Anthony, JLo, Ricky Martin and Luis Fonsi, between all of them 315 MILLION followers on Instagram alone!
Republikkkans fucked around with the wrong American citizens and found out!
She definitely endorsed/voted for Harris, it’s just not on her IG page for whatever reason, but was in her IG story: https://parade.com/news/ariana-grande-takes-strong-political-stance-ahead-election-endorse-kamala-harris
Fuck James Comey, his misogyny handed Trump the presidency the first time. Now here we are....rot in hell Comey.
Bill Barr has had a hand in most of the fuckery since Reagan Shalone, sayin’!
True
But... "Black people love watermelon! Latinos have a lot of babies!" This is CUTTING EDGE material he's putting out here! I guess we're just too dumb and woke to understand his level of sophistication.
Watermelon jokes? Who are we, The Little Rascals?
There’s a few neighborhoods here in ChiTown I would like to drop him off on a street corner.
True dat Walter!
This house has sure gone crazy ! ……. Stooges !
Tony needs a career. Because he is not having one now
Doc, he can have as brilliant a career as another MAGA hero, Kyle Rittenhouse.
That reminds me, why didn't they have the baby-faced murder give a speech at the hate rally? He could have cried and begged everyone to vote for Shitler.
Jeff, good point about being too far in the bubble. It's a very cautionary tale. Scott Adams really did blow a multi-million dollar empire through his inability to see through the thick haze of the bubble he'd immersed himself in. All that work will never be collected or read again.
I knew about his garbage and personally cancelled his ass way before last year, glad it finally bit him in the ass.
How about finding a spot for maggots in Russia somewhere…”Only for American Maggots.” Then they can say all the shit they want and never enter AMERICA again! Damn-this is disgusting!
Somebody of MAGA persuasion tried moving to Russia and it wasn't the MAGA paradise they'd been promised. Oh, and they can't bring their guns in.
Perhaps launched into space on Muck’s spaceship! I’m willing to pay for that! But a lifetime in Russia would be such fun to watch!
Disgusting, disturbing degenerates Tess!
Sundowning grandpa Nazi Pants??? That’s it. Right there! 😂😂😂😂. Amazing these assholes are so full of themselves they think it’s ok to say this crap. Is this even real life? 🤦♀️
Most of them don't even know that Puerto Rico is an American territory, and that they are American citizens. The lack of education is truly mind blowing with MAGA.
Lara Trump said they have lawsuits in EIGHTY ONE states, so maybe it won't make a difference to Magats.🤣🤣🤣
God knows, we did try it but it didn't fly.
In their racist bubble it’s funny as hell. Trump made it ok to be an above ground racist. 😠
The dumb bastard probably didn’t know that Puetro Ricans have the vote !🥴😅
Not for long!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m reminded of the old saying, “Give a man enough rope and he’ll hang himself.”
I’m all for it. The more he talks, the more he comes off as a total A-hole. But, that’s what his MAGA group likes about him. He speaks their language.
He’s the new Pied Piper. Only instead of the flute, he’s driving a dump truck and dropping garbage for his followers to feast upon. “Let them eat sewage”.
Zee Zee…I completely agree!
Everyone involved in the rally knew what the comic was going to say. The irony of McNobody's jokes is that the actual funny part is his bombing in front of a national audience. Even funnier is that Dumpster is claiming he never heard of the guy and his handlers are still arguing about what to do. In the meantime, Puerto Ricans and others are making sure the island of garbage line goes viral.
More trump rallies! please! It is delightful to watch them hit the wall and blast into flames! This will be a blowout. But the GOP Felon & Fascist supporters need people to hear (from the right wing owned media conglomerates) that the race is close. They need to tell us, something must be wrong when they lose! THEIR polls said they’d win…so there must be something wrong here.
But we’re not buying their BS. They hold rallies to insult every group of people on earth who aren’t white christian nationalist Nazi/Fascist loving dotards.
Let them have more rope! All they want.
And if they decide a 2nd violent coup is needed. They’ll have to dodge the bullets of the National Guard this time. Orange Felon can’t make the orders, Biden will. And frankly, I think Biden just might be pretty sick & tired of these jizz & bleach drinkers. Maybe instead of warrior helmets, they can wear ear pads.
They DON’T HAVE THE VOTES. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to threaten so much!
It's particularly rich to hear a clearly racist comedian defend himself by the usual "hey-you-guys-are-snowflakes-and-just-don't-know-what's-funny" excuse. Of course, Shady Vance said basically the same thing when he got up to speak: It's just that, folks, "we have to get past this", after all a joke is a joke! Sure, Shady, nothing to see here!
Also, if I could personally throttle the assholes on the far-right that haul out the already super-old line of, "take your tampon out" or calling Governor Walz "Tampon Tim", I would throttle away with glee in my heart! If nothing else, it's a very thinly veiled way of insinuating someone's a wimp, like a woman (because only women use tampons). Well, I'm a woman and I'm sure as hell no wimp, or a snowflake, or any other label the far-right wishes to place on me just because I'm female. Hell, I'm pretty certain I have bigger metaphorical balls then a lot of men I've known (and unfortunately, have worked for) in my life.
And while I'm at it, let me also say that just because I'm well past the age of possible fertilization (thank the universe!) it DOES NOT mean that I, along with millions of older women, no longer can or should have a say in the freedom of choice struggle, not to mention the larger implications of tampering with women's health initiatives, insurance coverage and government interference over the same! This topic, too, has become another passive-agressive joke among the far-right fools and to this I offer a hardy FUCK OFF and mind your own business!
*Applauding*
