Just think of it as background radiation, Jeff. It’s there, it’s toxic, but you don’t have to write about it every time it hums. Let the cult have their fireworks-and-fascism funeral cosplay. The rest of us can file it under ‘reasons democracy needs a tetanus shot’ and move on.
I did it for you Uncle Jeff, but I promise you, I did it in your spirit, and only based on what WAS totally necessary against revealing that Kirk is a piece of shit, and why.
Thank you, MzNicky, for saying this! I entered the comments specifically to say “projectile stupidity” wins the internet today, and applies perfectly to the entire cult. Sums it all up. Thanks, Jeff.
YES to both MzNicky & you Joanne: that phrase is utterly fantastic and on point - as are SO MANY of Jeff's pithy descriptions. I have absolutely no idea how he does it, am only delighted that he DOES. Still keeping me sane. Btw, the photo of that VILE pos coming up as 'the autopen' literally had ME 'projectiling' my tea - which took a few minutes to clean up since it was HOT this time. Memo to self: PRE-read Jeff before daring to drink anything!
Ouch ! Hope it wasn’t so hot it burned you! My aunt did that once. I share your love of Jeff’s pithy descriptions. I still laugh when I think of Cankles McRottinghand.
I got lucky, Joanne - thank you! I’m one of those weird people who can only eat VERY HOT food and likewise drink hot beverages HOT! When they aren’t, or begin to cool down I find them awful…so had it all nice and at a perfect temp for ME as I scrolled with my right hand, holding my HUGE mug in my left. I’ve learned enough - when I read Jeff’s posts (even the subsequent comments) to push my keyboard underneath it’s niche and away from any possibility of a ‘spill), so got lucky. My poor screen, though! Took quite a bit of cleaning up: Earl Grey, some cream and brown sugar. SO good. AND so sticky when it goes places it shouldn’t. Btw, I ignore all of those ‘don’t use anything on your screens’ instructions. SprayWay glass cleaner sprayed on a microfiber CLOTH then wiped over the screen gently, did the trick. :) I’ve been using THAT product since 1995 for EVERYTHING glass, windows, etc. - including my then new granite counters (paper towels for those). It was expensive then but now comes in a 3-4 pack at Costco.
I've ignored it altogether. It's beyond ridiculous. We actually paid to rewatch Idiocracy last week. May have to rewatch Don't Look Up next. Thank you for your continued mockery. Keep on mocking!!!! And don't forget to cancel what you can Disney-related!!
Disney Corp is as evil as Walt was Margaret! The 5 corporations that own everything we read, hear and watch ( I never watch) are responsible for much of the malaise this country is embroiled in!
Yes, when I got home yesterday. Pressure works!! Hitting them in the money pockets works. Good. Gavin will be his guest. Will be one of his highest rated shows ever! We were always nightly watchers of his. Now do Colbert!!!!!
Well, the Hawk podcast asked the pointed question, where were CK's family (other than his widow) during this memorial? His parents, sister, etc. - and the answer was, they were all out in the lobby selling Charlie Kirk merch, including t-shirts for $35.00 a pop. (Undoubtedly made in China, BTW...) So, yeah, everyone's all torn up and weeping their eyes out as they sell what, 10,000 t-shirts and make almost half a million off of Charlie's death? And that's without the widow's Go Fund Me page? GAG...
admirable - also sanity and blood-pressure saving I imagine. (I turned on - FORGIVE ME - my M.Joe recording when I woke up this morning and immediately turned it off and tried to go back to sleep)
I can’t thank you enough for playing that cringey clip of President Grandpa Orange Turd going on stage while that jerk Lee Greenwood singing the schmaltzy anthem, “I’m Proud to Be an American.” If you’ve never seen the episode that Jon Oliver did on him, ho to You Tube and search for it. Just thinking about it brings tears of laughter to my eyes.
Oh, that event? The one that appeared to be a big Trump rally where he hugged and rubbed on the tall blonde and gave her what could have been a French kiss for way too long?
Talk about inappropriate. Geeze. How many levels of wrong?
If people doubt that despite having dementia, he’s lecherous and a malignant narcissist, the evidence seems pretty clear to me. Ick.
Thank you! It was on the front page of my local paper (below the fold, but still) and I did not read it. There are enough maggats in this primarily blue county that the now-owned-by-a-hedge-fund editorial staff didn’t want to deal with the angry letters and phone calls if the “news” had been left off the front page. The San Francisco Chronicle, bless ‘em, buried CK (heh) on the last news page.
It was a noteworthy one, directly in the middle of the night. Nice and strong, the epicenter was just down the street from us in posh Albany, CA Nothing broke around here, thanks for asking
Or look across the street from work and seeing every light pole swaying back and forth.
For me, it was watching from our Army Street steps as the Bay Bridge was on fire!
Had just bought a stick shift Ford Fiesta for $500 and I learned how to drive a stick that day...no street lights and I'm going up 17th Street (huge, long hill and it's bumper to bumper) riding that clutch and brake all the way. Made it to work (night shift at 5:00) and left that car and we walked all the way across San Francisco to our home). People were so nice, out on their stoops, handing us beers, letting us use their bathrooms. It was a long walk but I remember getting to Dolores Park and it was packed with people just enjoying themselves out in the open space.
My best friend suggested (at 5:15 pm) to her bus driver that maybe they should wait to cross the bridge. No go. They went, traffic stopped, the bridge was broken (you remember that!) so they got to walk back to land, walk over to the Ferry Building and wait in line for a space on the ferry to Oakland (until 11:30 pm). Zipped across the Bay, walked off the ferry, greeted by an ACTransit person who asked what bus she took, directed her to said bus, and was dropped off at the right place 15 minutes later. The ferry and ACTransit were like a well oiled machine.
Wow, that was quite an adventure, longtimebirdwatcher!
My Mom used to drive home from Oakland at 5:00 p.m. on the Nimitz. Remember the Nimitz pancaking on top of all of those cars with people climbing up onto the freeway, trying to help trapped motorists? My Mom left late and it crashed down before she got there. Unbelievably lucky. Took her hours to drive home over a different bridge but she was safe.
I'll say it was noteworthy. I haven't felt one like it since 1989. But although I guessed it was a 5, it was only 4.6. Of course, the epicenter was about a mile from where I live in Berkeley, just on the other side of the Albany line. I haven't looked this morning, but it was basically on the Hayward Fault right behind the University. I bet they're checking out Memorial Stadium this morning. Nothing fell off the shelves, but the noise was horrendous. But that's nothing to what's going to happen in Washington when people refresh their memories of the French Revolution. This is not a monarchy.
Yes, thinking my dining room wall was going to collapse during Loma Prieta was worse than wondering what was falling down in the pitch dark last night. Shorter too, much louder though. And to think that one of the reasons I wanted to live here was because it was about as far as I could get from the Hayward Fault and still live in Berkeley.
I live in San Francisco and slept through it, which is surprising. I'm usually not a deep enough sleeper that a quake that strong and that close wouldn't wake me up.
Yes, but it was loud! You know that sound, the earth ripping apart. Not just the low roar we usually get. This was a loud crack and the house shaking, but nothing falling. Weird.
I rode out the Loma Prieta earthquake in section 42 at Candlestick just before the beginning of game 3 of the World Series, I am definitely aware of that sound. Hope you and your home are doing ok.
It jolted me the fuck out of bed with my heart pounding like I just run a half marathon. I scrambled around the apartment to get my Emergency backpack and put it by the front door. I then fully dressed ready for the next one because they usuallycome in batches. Nothing came after. The epicenter was in Berkeley, across the Bay.
We keep everything by the front door. No interior decorating here. Photo albums in a box with records (not the kind you play), the emergency backpacks and stuff, all right next to the door. everything but the cats and their carriers.
The letter we should all be sending to our Senators and House of Representatives members:
"Dear Senator ________" (or "Dear Representative _________")
"It is not possible to be so ignorant that you are not aware that the President of the United States is a liar, a fraud, a con, a grifter, a puppet of Putin, a traitor, a convicted felon, a law-breaker, an inciter of violence, a scumbag, a friend to pedophiles, an abuser of human rights, a racist, a fascist, and our nation's presidential accident and disgrace. We, The People, damn well know that you are aware of these facts. Therefore, do it now, get rid of Trump. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
Cornyn and Cruz, the two limpest dicks are my Senators. Any time I write them, they respond with excuses and reasons. Cruz even said, "Our country is more divided than it has ever been." I wrote back, "Yeah, no shit...do you not have any idea who has divided our country, you sorry P.O.S.?!" (Well, not in so many words...)
Yeah, when we complained that my Dem congressman voted yes for Laken Riley act, he said it was because his constituents wanted him to be do bipartisan things. Not the majority that elected you! Funny, none of the GOP ever need to do anything bipartisan.
One of mine sends the same form email every time that thanks me for writing, and says he's there to serve his constituents. I've tried replying and telling him not to bother, but to no avail. The other one...crickets.
Copy-pasting this into my notes, but the problem is that it will make no difference because my Senator is an acolyte of Schumer and my Congressman is a Republican in Disguise. The only akamai decent member of congress from my state is Jill Tokuda and she doesn’t represent my Congressional district.
No, Lateefah Simon. She is just like her predecessor, Barbara Lee, the mayor of Oakland now. I miss her, but Lateefah is incredibly promising. She has done everything Barbara would do.
MY Senator IS Charles 'Chuck' Schumer, and despite all the nasty attacks on him has always, always, always written back to ME with responses specific to MY requests and comments, including the information I need including new info about upcoming bills relevant to our lives. Gillibrand is as good as useless: if I've written at the same time as him, HER form letter responses don't remotely address anything I've asked about, are usually months later IF at all and are only self-promoting, quite unlike Senator Schumer's.
Well that’s nice but he’s incompetent as far as a heck of a lot of other people in this country are concerned. Believe me, I’m not alone in my opinion here.
I'm aware, but am a lifelong New Yorker and have found him to be better than most so don't have the same take as some others might. He's gotten a lot done under other Presidents which some also seem to forget. I like a lot of Congresspeople and Senators from all over the Country - and support them with my small donations and repostings whenever I can, not restricting myself to New York. One I TRULY regret is Fetterman. Today I'm focused on Roy Moore who could take the Senate in NC for Democrats (former Governor who's come back to do just that).
Now THAT statement of his should be quoted on a HUGE BILLBOARD every chance possible, at his next election - or better: provide it to whomever will be his opponent. These dipshits need to be reminded how our AMERICAN form of Government is supposed to work!
Mark, I can’t tell you how much I agree with you. What astounds me, as a child of Holocaust survivors, is how many Jews and educated others don’t see this. My cousins, whose father survived with my father, are staunch trumpists. I no longer speak with them.
That is so sad and so wrong. I just don't understand why they don't see the parallels. I assume that they are well-off and think they won't be affected by any roundups. Have they ever heard of Kristallnacht?
I'm proud to say I did not watch one second of the KKKlan rally in Arizona yesterday. It really disturbed me that so many people showed up for a white supremacist Nazi, but, that's just the way it is right now. We have just got to keep fighting the good fight. Onward!
Hate to be commenting on that hate rally, but wanted to note that Elon Musk sat right next to Shitler behind bullet proof glass, just like old times. Mike Johnson was parked directly behind them, listening intently. The plot is being thickened. Oh, and Trump did his signature jig on stage to show how deeply he's carrying the grief for Charlie.
As horrible as the Epstein operations were, I wonder if Musk's comment and his performative fallout with Trump weren't designed to make the Epstein files an ongoing distraction -- to divert attention from a bigger global rape operation, happening in real time, targeting all democracies.
And there you have it, Sharon. I've thought all along that the Rump-Elon break-up was just kabuki. I completely agree with your assessment about a global operation.
How many people actually showed up? they were advertising that it would be the biggest memorial in the history of memorials with 100,000 or more people. Did that happen?
Back up the Bus! You will need several. Let Raskin, Jeffries, Aguilar, Clark, Crow, Lieu, Moskowitz, Goldman, Nadler, Lofgren, Mikie Sherril, Ro Khanna, and Wasserman-Schultz sit on the first bus. Let the leaders of the Democrats explain to the 38 members of the House who said NO how much they respect them. Thank goodness my White Congressman Quigley voted NO.
Mine voted No, but two of the nearby Congresscritters who email me for money frequently voted Yes. I finally unsubscribed from them with Fuck You messages.
Shocked to see Jared Huffman voted “yea” too. He’s not my congressman but I’m a block from his district. I expected better from him. Mike Thompson, who is mine, wussed out with a “present.”
What were they thinking? Do they still not understand the assignment? Have any of them been asked, or offered to explain, why they voted for this? Deeply disappointed in Raskin and Goldman in particular.
Same. I read Raskin said “he voted for the resolution because it “repeatedly condemns all political violence, extremism and hatred in unequivocal terms,””. Not sure how voting for this did that.
The fact that ANY house democrat would vote to honor a white nationalist, after one of their own was just brutally murdered in her own home (along with her husband and golden retriever) by a MAGA nut job—and nothing was done to honor her—makes my head want to explode. They continue to be spineless, dumb fucks, whose only goal is to avoid pissing off MAGA. And this is why we can’t have nice things.
Exactly! To vote in favor was an endorsement of every vile thing Kirk stood for and promulgated. Every single 'yes' Democrat should be required to line up and, one at a time, look Rep. Crockett in the eye as they explain why they thought a racist slob deserved to be "honored."
Ahhh...the racism. It is what is killing us. I dont see how this country can save itself from its own hate and stupidity. And speaking of stupidity....
"projectile stupidity" and MarkWayne belong in the same sentence. He's a complete buffoon...he should go back to being a plumber. Wasn't he a plumber? 🤦♀️
I laughed so hard I spewed Greek yogurt out my nose. Not a comfortable experience. But I needed a laugh to enable me to deal with the rest of the horseshit Jeff showed us.
MarkWayne, BillyBob, JimmyRay, JoeHarry… and the State School Superintendent inbred big screen in his office porn watching Bible thumper Ryan Walters… when will their Book of Revelation’s Great WHITE MAN’s THRONE” be the place where they all sit?
Every time Markwayne Mullin opens his mouth on a Sunday show, it’s like someone hit the flush handle on America’s septic tank. And JD Vance calling for “unity” while threatening citizens is just the Dollar Store sequel. Trump struts in with fireworks at a memorial, Laura Ingraham cheers police assaults, and the cult claps like it’s halftime at Monster Jam. Idiocracy wasn’t a warning. It was the casting call.
Because cable bookers treat politics like pro wrestling, Jeff. They don’t care if Mullin is an interesting liar. They just need a guy in a suit who can grunt the talking points without drooling on the table. He’s the human equivalent of a folding chair: cheap, predictable, and always available when the script calls for a smackdown.
I watched this Jasmine Crockett clip twice yesterday, and both times it brought me to tears. Her heartfelt statement was full of pain and a sense of betrayal. Racism will always be with us, and even we enlightened liberal white folks cannot ever truly understand it, or always even recognize it when we see it.
Racism better not always be with us. I don't think it's where I live. I can say that, because the r's would be run out of town. But it makes me SOOOOO angry.
This place where you live: Is it an all-white utopia? Because that’s the only way there’s no racism where you live. And as I said, racism is and always will be with us. We were founded on it. We’re soaking in it.
NO, it's BERKELEY, CA. It's a Bay Area Utopia. On my block, a Chinese/white retired cop couple, a rabbi and his family, us, a lesbian couple with two girls, a black widow, another black widow, a Chinese unmarried couple, a Korean, a black retiree (my husband and I went to school with him), an Indonesian/ Palestinian Muslim couple with a little boy and a South African au pair, another black retiree, and a white female artist. Some of us have been here over 30 years (the first couple, us, and all the black residents, the Korean, and the artist. Now, I admit, everyone who's moved here in the last five years paid at least $1M for their homes (this is considered the low rent area of Berkeley). The Bay Area is very mixed, and to show any overt racism is a not do, because just because someone is light brown, you have no idea what their actual racial background is. Light brown is the prevalent skin color in the Bay Area. This is the reason why California will secede and leave Tennessee behind. We are so done here.
That’s very impressive. A racially-mixed population in Berkeley who can afford million-dollar houses and manage to not show any “overt racism.” When you secede from the union, will you take the rest of California with you, including Orange County, Fresno, and [checks notes] Colfax?
You should have paid attention to the fact that we are the low rent neighborhood in Berkeley. But I don't believe reading comprehension is taught in Tennessee schools, is it? And you don't know how people are able to buy these homes. Oh, they work high tech jobs or their parents died and they sold their homes to make the down payments on their own homes. We'll probably take Orange County, since it's already ours. Fresno, they've pretty much run out of their water table, so they won't be farming there much longer. Colfax? If and when we're gone, I suggest you grow your own food, because you won't be able to afford the tariffs.
I live in a Floriduh 116-unit condo complex and in eleven years here I have known only six people, two of them a married hetero couple. I choose whom I associate with very carefully. All of them have done major favors for me as I become more and more dependent for physical tasks.
Jeff, wooo boy, quite the scene in Phoenix yesterday… All that garbage left in the parking lot, a huge wooden cross with training wheels, fireworks ( cause who doesn’t have fireworks at a funeral). And the speeches, all Christian Nationalist in nature such as the deceased being compared to a prophet, or the very embodiment of Jesus himself. Millers speech was lifted from a Goebbles 1935 speech which sounded kind of Nazi. And the Tucker bringing out the old Jew hater speech… I could go on but … hey… Rapture Day tomorrow… funny how Rapture Day falls on the Jewish New Year… quite the coincidence… Best to All who are still here tomorrow who are “left behind”😊
That grand entrance was . . . there are no words for what that was. And did Lee Greenwood get dropped on his fucking head when he was a baby? I hoped and prayed he would see the light at some point but noooo. There he was. I'm going back to bed until the rapture is over.
I didn't watch a second but could not escape the updates and push notifications. but love your comment. Rich coming from "sounded kind of Nazi because he is a Nazi" Stephen Miller (Jewish) and I noticed when his fascist soulmate Katie Miller(Also Jewish) had Pam Bondi on her podcast (that I only saw for a second when people posted the clip where she was saying she would go after anyone for hate speech as I noticed immediately a huge crystal cross on the table sitting next to Bondi.) Since I doubt he and Katie and kids are celebrating the Jewish New Year starting tonight they are welcome to go with all their fascist evangelical friends. I read the only one who said she forgave his killer and doesn't have hate because Jesus would forgive was his widow. The irony was breathtaking with every other person there including Donnie Darko saying "I Hate" ( like it's a surprise)
Did you ever see the HBO show "The Leftovers" from 2014 where in the opening minutes 2% of the people on earth disappear In "The Sudden Departure"/The Rapture? It's a prelude to what happens 3 years later to those left behind. Some of the famous people that disappeared (along with regular people) were Pope Benedict-Salman Rushdie- Jennifer Lopez-Anthony Bourdain-Gary Busey-Shaq (the book lists more. Putin-Adam Sandler-Condaleeza Rice) and of course the religious crazies left screaming " take me..wait for me" Brilliant naming Christian-Muslim-Jewish-Black-brown, right, left, communist, liberal etc.and lists how many people from each country lost people that day and of course North Korea said none. It's a very deep and profound story but with humour too. One of those great cult shows that HBO used to make that.would NEVER be made today. I totally expect.to be left, so see you all tomorrow.
Well, have not played or spoken to them in over a week, tomorrow being a religious holiday I am unable to join them. I’ll give a summary after next week’s outing. Thx for asking🤠
I didn't know that almost all the so-called democrats voted in favor of "honoring" Kirk. GODDAMN they are gutless. Do they really think this helps them "negotiate" with the sons of bitches who are working day and night to fuck us over?
the reason Democrats are polling in the toilet is not because of “independents” (who honestly are just gop that like weed) or gop, it’s because the base is pissed off about how leadership bends over to kiss MAGA ass.
Wrong! People polled have no idea what "leadership" us doing, and while WE obsess about this (and draw so many erroneous conclusions), it's not even remotely on the radar of average American, not one of whom is asking "How is Democratic leadership in Congess doing?" I can tell you what they're asking because I talk to them: how can I afford rent and groceries, why is my kid's school crumbling, when will they fill the damn pothole on my street, put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air! (I actually heard this Saturday amidst a discussion about farming) and RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. No one gives a shit that political obsessives are upset that Hakeem Jeffries isn't threatening Gym Jordan to a duel.
That's because they are ignorant of what leadership does or doesn't do. The "Average American" is only aware of the six inches in front of their nose. That doesn't make my argument any less valid. If there's one thing MAGAts have proved it's that every election is a base election even when 90% of the base don't know or care apparently why. Also I would add that focusing on "kitchen table" issues is what got us into this mess in the first place.
Well, she would not let him loom over her like Clinton did. I've always believed that if Clinton had swung around and got in his face she would have won. Every woman in the world would have voted for her if she had kneed him in his frozen zone.
I was screaming at Clinton to do that *as it was happening*!
I once had one of our local mental cases try to follow me to my car one night after work. I waited until I heard his footsteps get *just close enough*....then spun around, stepped right up into his face, & screamed, "WHAT?????"
I loved watching her rip Kash Patel several well-deserved new ones (“I didn’t ask you a question” without breaking stride or even looking up — fantastic)
Kirk’s widow was selling Merch - all proceeds to her - at her husband’s memorial service despite her estate being worth over $15 million. Fireworks, most of Kirk's extended family not even there, and the performative grief - these people are beyond belief.
Trump has no empathy - he is incapable of feeling it. These people are sociopaths and were performing.
My god. This is sickening. And to think the republican congressmen who were there had voted just 11 days before to protect wealthy child rapists. You cannot make this shit up.
Charlie Kirk was a nasty, hateful, racist, bigoted, conman.
I didn't watch a second of it, but it sounds utterly fitting for a cheap, worthless conman.
Had I attended, I would've needed oxygen from laughing so hard at the FIREWORKS. Did the juggler on the unicycle and the guy on stilts playing a kazoo not show up?
my goal for the day: to avoid writing about Charlie Kirk's memorial as much as humanly possible
Just think of it as background radiation, Jeff. It’s there, it’s toxic, but you don’t have to write about it every time it hums. Let the cult have their fireworks-and-fascism funeral cosplay. The rest of us can file it under ‘reasons democracy needs a tetanus shot’ and move on.
I did it for you Uncle Jeff, but I promise you, I did it in your spirit, and only based on what WAS totally necessary against revealing that Kirk is a piece of shit, and why.
you took one for the team
Jeff, I always take one for the team.
And I never ask, I just do.
I just wanted to clarify that Nosferatu McGoebbels is a BALLpoint autopen.
Thank you, Jeff. This whole ridiculous charade has produced SO much “projectile stupidity,” which is now my new favorite phrase.
Thank you, MzNicky, for saying this! I entered the comments specifically to say “projectile stupidity” wins the internet today, and applies perfectly to the entire cult. Sums it all up. Thanks, Jeff.
YES to both MzNicky & you Joanne: that phrase is utterly fantastic and on point - as are SO MANY of Jeff's pithy descriptions. I have absolutely no idea how he does it, am only delighted that he DOES. Still keeping me sane. Btw, the photo of that VILE pos coming up as 'the autopen' literally had ME 'projectiling' my tea - which took a few minutes to clean up since it was HOT this time. Memo to self: PRE-read Jeff before daring to drink anything!
Ouch ! Hope it wasn’t so hot it burned you! My aunt did that once. I share your love of Jeff’s pithy descriptions. I still laugh when I think of Cankles McRottinghand.
I got lucky, Joanne - thank you! I’m one of those weird people who can only eat VERY HOT food and likewise drink hot beverages HOT! When they aren’t, or begin to cool down I find them awful…so had it all nice and at a perfect temp for ME as I scrolled with my right hand, holding my HUGE mug in my left. I’ve learned enough - when I read Jeff’s posts (even the subsequent comments) to push my keyboard underneath it’s niche and away from any possibility of a ‘spill), so got lucky. My poor screen, though! Took quite a bit of cleaning up: Earl Grey, some cream and brown sugar. SO good. AND so sticky when it goes places it shouldn’t. Btw, I ignore all of those ‘don’t use anything on your screens’ instructions. SprayWay glass cleaner sprayed on a microfiber CLOTH then wiped over the screen gently, did the trick. :) I’ve been using THAT product since 1995 for EVERYTHING glass, windows, etc. - including my then new granite counters (paper towels for those). It was expensive then but now comes in a 3-4 pack at Costco.
I love Earl Grey tea, though I don’t use sugar. At least you sprayed your screen and not yourself.
I've ignored it altogether. It's beyond ridiculous. We actually paid to rewatch Idiocracy last week. May have to rewatch Don't Look Up next. Thank you for your continued mockery. Keep on mocking!!!! And don't forget to cancel what you can Disney-related!!
You’ve likely heard Disney is bringing back Kimmel!
So?
https://open.substack.com/pub/michaeldsellers/p/breaking-kimmel-set-to-return-a-deeper?r=qvheo&utm_medium=ios
I'm still mad at Disney.
Disney Corp is as evil as Walt was Margaret! The 5 corporations that own everything we read, hear and watch ( I never watch) are responsible for much of the malaise this country is embroiled in!
Me too.They obeyed in advance.We will see if the Kimmel show will really come back as it was before…
Yes, when I got home yesterday. Pressure works!! Hitting them in the money pockets works. Good. Gavin will be his guest. Will be one of his highest rated shows ever! We were always nightly watchers of his. Now do Colbert!!!!!
#BringBackColbert
Agreed! The billionaire class that owns our media has waged war on “We the Serfs”!
Well, the Hawk podcast asked the pointed question, where were CK's family (other than his widow) during this memorial? His parents, sister, etc. - and the answer was, they were all out in the lobby selling Charlie Kirk merch, including t-shirts for $35.00 a pop. (Undoubtedly made in China, BTW...) So, yeah, everyone's all torn up and weeping their eyes out as they sell what, 10,000 t-shirts and make almost half a million off of Charlie's death? And that's without the widow's Go Fund Me page? GAG...
It’s all about the moola with these Dipshits.
OBSCENE
Double 🤮 and triple 🤮
they'll try to milk it and take it on the road.
Absolutely - there's money to be made!
Glad you succeeded although I am curious as to whether they all came to their feet in tears when the Horst Wessel Lied was played.
Like Charlie Kirk, Horst Wessel was a useless brown shirt POS who became much more useful in death than he could have ever become in life.
Many members and future members of the Trumpjugend at this “memorial service.”
admirable - also sanity and blood-pressure saving I imagine. (I turned on - FORGIVE ME - my M.Joe recording when I woke up this morning and immediately turned it off and tried to go back to sleep)
I have too many MAGA friends to avoid writing about the hateful little twirp. Getting used to it, I guess.
There are no words. The widow Kirk said she wanted it to be 'bigger than Taylor Swift." Women who are successful on their own are scary.
sick
Jeff, I’ve been avoiding any mention of that travesty on television and in the papers. I have a very sensitive stomach.
I can’t thank you enough for playing that cringey clip of President Grandpa Orange Turd going on stage while that jerk Lee Greenwood singing the schmaltzy anthem, “I’m Proud to Be an American.” If you’ve never seen the episode that Jon Oliver did on him, ho to You Tube and search for it. Just thinking about it brings tears of laughter to my eyes.
Release the Epstein Files and honor Jasmine Crockett. She is wonderful.
Oh, that event? The one that appeared to be a big Trump rally where he hugged and rubbed on the tall blonde and gave her what could have been a French kiss for way too long?
Talk about inappropriate. Geeze. How many levels of wrong?
If people doubt that despite having dementia, he’s lecherous and a malignant narcissist, the evidence seems pretty clear to me. Ick.
When will we wake up from this nightmare?
I thank you for your service. They've made such pageantry of the utterly profane.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're royally failing to achieve that goal Jeff.
Thank you! It was on the front page of my local paper (below the fold, but still) and I did not read it. There are enough maggats in this primarily blue county that the now-owned-by-a-hedge-fund editorial staff didn’t want to deal with the angry letters and phone calls if the “news” had been left off the front page. The San Francisco Chronicle, bless ‘em, buried CK (heh) on the last news page.
hey San Francisco, how was your earthquake? everyone safe?
It was a noteworthy one, directly in the middle of the night. Nice and strong, the epicenter was just down the street from us in posh Albany, CA Nothing broke around here, thanks for asking
Ms Spouse, who was born in Los Angeles, says it's not a real earthquake unless stuff is falling off the shelves
Joe Biden is at it again with the damn earthquakes .
It's wasn't Joe. It was his auto-pen. I mean, duh.
I was in the 1989 earthquake. Ever seen a pool empty into the neighbors yard?
Or look across the street from work and seeing every light pole swaying back and forth.
For me, it was watching from our Army Street steps as the Bay Bridge was on fire!
Had just bought a stick shift Ford Fiesta for $500 and I learned how to drive a stick that day...no street lights and I'm going up 17th Street (huge, long hill and it's bumper to bumper) riding that clutch and brake all the way. Made it to work (night shift at 5:00) and left that car and we walked all the way across San Francisco to our home). People were so nice, out on their stoops, handing us beers, letting us use their bathrooms. It was a long walk but I remember getting to Dolores Park and it was packed with people just enjoying themselves out in the open space.
My best friend suggested (at 5:15 pm) to her bus driver that maybe they should wait to cross the bridge. No go. They went, traffic stopped, the bridge was broken (you remember that!) so they got to walk back to land, walk over to the Ferry Building and wait in line for a space on the ferry to Oakland (until 11:30 pm). Zipped across the Bay, walked off the ferry, greeted by an ACTransit person who asked what bus she took, directed her to said bus, and was dropped off at the right place 15 minutes later. The ferry and ACTransit were like a well oiled machine.
Wow, that was quite an adventure, longtimebirdwatcher!
My Mom used to drive home from Oakland at 5:00 p.m. on the Nimitz. Remember the Nimitz pancaking on top of all of those cars with people climbing up onto the freeway, trying to help trapped motorists? My Mom left late and it crashed down before she got there. Unbelievably lucky. Took her hours to drive home over a different bridge but she was safe.
I don't get out of bed for less than a 5.0.
I had that same dating standard when I was in college.
That was funny!
😂😂😂
A tremor ....when nothing slides around or falls off shelves 😅
Alaskan here 🤚🏻 and your misses is correct- if nothing broke, it doesn’t count
Ms. Spouse is correct, as ever!
I'll say it was noteworthy. I haven't felt one like it since 1989. But although I guessed it was a 5, it was only 4.6. Of course, the epicenter was about a mile from where I live in Berkeley, just on the other side of the Albany line. I haven't looked this morning, but it was basically on the Hayward Fault right behind the University. I bet they're checking out Memorial Stadium this morning. Nothing fell off the shelves, but the noise was horrendous. But that's nothing to what's going to happen in Washington when people refresh their memories of the French Revolution. This is not a monarchy.
Glad you're ok. Any sign of ground shift up there? I'm far enough south that we just heard and felt it.
No Kings on October 18 -- time for a democratic shock wave coast to coast!
I haven't been up the hill to see...
Liberté, égalité, fraternité LTBW!
Glad you’re OK Richard
Why thanks! Opportunity for a middle of the night beer so I could get back to sleep--
Glad you are safe Richard. 🙏no ongoing aftershocks
Usually I get to say it's not my fault, because it was on the Rogers or the San Andreas or any of the dozens of others in the Bay Area.
Not this time. It was my fault, the Hayward Fault. Sorry, folks! :-)
Safe here, about 10 miles from the epicenter. It definitely woke me up!
Happy to hear you’re safe. Can’t imagine what it feels like.
Marginally better than the Loma Prieta earthquake.
So much better, shorter, and milder than Loma Prieta!
Yes, thinking my dining room wall was going to collapse during Loma Prieta was worse than wondering what was falling down in the pitch dark last night. Shorter too, much louder though. And to think that one of the reasons I wanted to live here was because it was about as far as I could get from the Hayward Fault and still live in Berkeley.
I’m enjoying beautiful CO, and missed it. I’ve been through plenty.
I live in San Francisco and slept through it, which is surprising. I'm usually not a deep enough sleeper that a quake that strong and that close wouldn't wake me up.
I'm glad the other Bay Area folks here are okay!
No, but Epstein Files and Epstein files also Epstein documents. Sorry Jeff I had to.
It was a rolling wake-up call here in SF!!! Husband wakes me up to say we're having a big one and I'm yelling, "I'm dreaming about an earthquake!"
Nothing fell and no walls cracked so we're good to go!
I'm extremely tired but thankful it was only 4.3.
My daughter, in the Bay Area, said she slept right through it but that "the house shook a little."
4.6, just a trembler. Can’t get excited until it hits over 6.5, but thanks for asking.
Yes, but it was loud! You know that sound, the earth ripping apart. Not just the low roar we usually get. This was a loud crack and the house shaking, but nothing falling. Weird.
I rode out the Loma Prieta earthquake in section 42 at Candlestick just before the beginning of game 3 of the World Series, I am definitely aware of that sound. Hope you and your home are doing ok.
It's "temblor," something I learned at age 35, Duh me.
It jolted me the fuck out of bed with my heart pounding like I just run a half marathon. I scrambled around the apartment to get my Emergency backpack and put it by the front door. I then fully dressed ready for the next one because they usuallycome in batches. Nothing came after. The epicenter was in Berkeley, across the Bay.
We keep everything by the front door. No interior decorating here. Photo albums in a box with records (not the kind you play), the emergency backpacks and stuff, all right next to the door. everything but the cats and their carriers.
Thanks for asking! Didn’t feel it. 4.3 is a big truck driving by, though granted 4.3 does feel big if you’re at the epicenter.
Didn’t feel it here. Maybe next time 😎😍🇺🇸😻
The letter we should all be sending to our Senators and House of Representatives members:
"Dear Senator ________" (or "Dear Representative _________")
"It is not possible to be so ignorant that you are not aware that the President of the United States is a liar, a fraud, a con, a grifter, a puppet of Putin, a traitor, a convicted felon, a law-breaker, an inciter of violence, a scumbag, a friend to pedophiles, an abuser of human rights, a racist, a fascist, and our nation's presidential accident and disgrace. We, The People, damn well know that you are aware of these facts. Therefore, do it now, get rid of Trump. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
As a woman, I would add a sexual predator to that list. TRump is truly a disgrace to our country.
He’s NOT just a “friend of pedophiles;” as several women have testified, he’s a goddamned RAPIST.
and a SEX TRAFFICKER
Oh, they're not his "type", remember? That comment is just about as disturbing as anything that rapist has ever said.
He IS a Pedophile
THAT would be MY word for the rotten, orange pig too. Thank you, Cathy.
That's a convicted sexual abuser.
Thanks, Megan, I've added that in a new, revised version of "the letter".
A personal friend of mine was one of his victims (in the elevator lobby at Chump Tower), so yeah, BIG TIME SEXUAL PREDATOR!! 🖕🖕🖕
Using it with a few edits! Thank you.
Cornyn and Cruz, the two limpest dicks are my Senators. Any time I write them, they respond with excuses and reasons. Cruz even said, "Our country is more divided than it has ever been." I wrote back, "Yeah, no shit...do you not have any idea who has divided our country, you sorry P.O.S.?!" (Well, not in so many words...)
Yeah, when we complained that my Dem congressman voted yes for Laken Riley act, he said it was because his constituents wanted him to be do bipartisan things. Not the majority that elected you! Funny, none of the GOP ever need to do anything bipartisan.
My MAGA senators simply don't reply. Cowards.
Mine doesn't even VISIT his district (#GymJordan)! He's too busy being a badly dressed asswipe w/ his lips crazy glued 3" up #Bumblefuck's ass.
Oh, well, Gym....self-explanatory. LOSER!! His district is so gerrymandered, it's ridiculous. And yeah, total asswipe.
Mine reply, but I don’t bother to read their emails, because they’re Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst.
One of mine sends the same form email every time that thanks me for writing, and says he's there to serve his constituents. I've tried replying and telling him not to bother, but to no avail. The other one...crickets.
Copy-pasting this into my notes, but the problem is that it will make no difference because my Senator is an acolyte of Schumer and my Congressman is a Republican in Disguise. The only akamai decent member of congress from my state is Jill Tokuda and she doesn’t represent my Congressional district.
My senators are both MAGA, so....
And one of them is a known thief and paid-for stooge of Peter Thiel.
My senators are Chuck “the walking dead” Grassley and Joni “we’re all gonna die” Ernst. 🤷♀️😔
You have my sympathies. But did I read that Joni is not running for re-election, or was that some other idiot?
You must be from Ohio. Me, too.
Ayup. Devoutly hoping that Sherrod wins next year. Husted is a total zero.
Well, my representative is a real star, and this is just her first term.
Melanie Stansbury?
No, Lateefah Simon. She is just like her predecessor, Barbara Lee, the mayor of Oakland now. I miss her, but Lateefah is incredibly promising. She has done everything Barbara would do.
MY Senator IS Charles 'Chuck' Schumer, and despite all the nasty attacks on him has always, always, always written back to ME with responses specific to MY requests and comments, including the information I need including new info about upcoming bills relevant to our lives. Gillibrand is as good as useless: if I've written at the same time as him, HER form letter responses don't remotely address anything I've asked about, are usually months later IF at all and are only self-promoting, quite unlike Senator Schumer's.
Well that’s nice but he’s incompetent as far as a heck of a lot of other people in this country are concerned. Believe me, I’m not alone in my opinion here.
I'm aware, but am a lifelong New Yorker and have found him to be better than most so don't have the same take as some others might. He's gotten a lot done under other Presidents which some also seem to forget. I like a lot of Congresspeople and Senators from all over the Country - and support them with my small donations and repostings whenever I can, not restricting myself to New York. One I TRULY regret is Fetterman. Today I'm focused on Roy Moore who could take the Senate in NC for Democrats (former Governor who's come back to do just that).
My representative told me that he didn’t need to address my concerns because I didn’t vote for him. So there’s that.
Wow, he really said that? What a true servant of the People...not.
He really did. He’s a POS. He also doesn’t do live town halls.
Now THAT statement of his should be quoted on a HUGE BILLBOARD every chance possible, at his next election - or better: provide it to whomever will be his opponent. These dipshits need to be reminded how our AMERICAN form of Government is supposed to work!
Michael Baumgartner, by any chance?
This is gold. Pure gold. 🌟
👏👏👏👏I like this
a *supplier to pedophiles
Every time a cult member objects to the Nazi comparison, the response should be "His own vice president called him "America's Hitler".
I posted that once and the response from this MAGA guy was “no effing way Vance called Trump Hitler”. It’s great when you have the receipts!
This is the general rule: Everything that goes against him is fake, every lie they tell to promote him is The Truth.
Mark, I can’t tell you how much I agree with you. What astounds me, as a child of Holocaust survivors, is how many Jews and educated others don’t see this. My cousins, whose father survived with my father, are staunch trumpists. I no longer speak with them.
I speak to my MAGA brothers, they don't listen, or have propped up potboiler excuses for manufactured issue oriented policies.
I’m so sorry, Susan.
That is so sad and so wrong. I just don't understand why they don't see the parallels. I assume that they are well-off and think they won't be affected by any roundups. Have they ever heard of Kristallnacht?
As did RFK jr. And Little Marco said T has tiny hands. He has something on each of them, I’m certain of it.
Selective memories, because…
I'm proud to say I did not watch one second of the KKKlan rally in Arizona yesterday. It really disturbed me that so many people showed up for a white supremacist Nazi, but, that's just the way it is right now. We have just got to keep fighting the good fight. Onward!
Hate to be commenting on that hate rally, but wanted to note that Elon Musk sat right next to Shitler behind bullet proof glass, just like old times. Mike Johnson was parked directly behind them, listening intently. The plot is being thickened. Oh, and Trump did his signature jig on stage to show how deeply he's carrying the grief for Charlie.
"Elon Musk sat right next to Shitler... Mike Johnson was parked directly behind them"
Giant Meteor, you only had one job!
I know. I had hopes.
😂😂😂
But, just after their falling out, Musk published that trump is in the Epstein files! What was that about? Maybe trump's not aware of that?
As horrible as the Epstein operations were, I wonder if Musk's comment and his performative fallout with Trump weren't designed to make the Epstein files an ongoing distraction -- to divert attention from a bigger global rape operation, happening in real time, targeting all democracies.
And there you have it, Sharon. I've thought all along that the Rump-Elon break-up was just kabuki. I completely agree with your assessment about a global operation.
The CK video was on the repeat on Musk's app.
Why?
Why subject anyone with a phone (including minors) to that footage??
Arizona is a mix of blue & red -
I wouldn’t watch that racist buffoon for anything. Hopefully someone sticks a big Saguaro up his butt.
Ouch😵💫Hope it (deservedly)gets stuck there!
Please don't disrespect the Saguaro. They don't deserve that.
Saguaro are protected by law , but if I had a chance….
Megan, I didn't even turn my TV on yesterday. I was upset to learn that MSNBC broadcast the hate rally/memorial 😤🤬
MSNBC did what now?!?! FFS!! I have been tuning out to save what little is left of my sanity.
Same here.
How many people actually showed up? they were advertising that it would be the biggest memorial in the history of memorials with 100,000 or more people. Did that happen?
That stadium in Glendale has a capacity of 63,000
With some 90,000 in the overfill Arena. The stadium started emptying out during Frump’s appearance.
It was truly disgusting. But then the Niners (49ers) won and all was right in the world.
1. That wasn’t a memorial. Who sells merch at a memorial?! 🙄
2. Any Dem that voted for that resolution needs to be booted off the island.
Back up the Bus! You will need several. Let Raskin, Jeffries, Aguilar, Clark, Crow, Lieu, Moskowitz, Goldman, Nadler, Lofgren, Mikie Sherril, Ro Khanna, and Wasserman-Schultz sit on the first bus. Let the leaders of the Democrats explain to the 38 members of the House who said NO how much they respect them. Thank goodness my White Congressman Quigley voted NO.
95 Dems voted for that charade. WTF? Mine voted present.
Mine voted no, along with of both of her fellow Black women congresspeople from Ohio. The two white Democrats voted for it.
Mine voted No, but two of the nearby Congresscritters who email me for money frequently voted Yes. I finally unsubscribed from them with Fuck You messages.
Mine voted present as well.
I'm shocked and disappointed that Raskin voted for it. Wow.
Shocked to see Jared Huffman voted “yea” too. He’s not my congressman but I’m a block from his district. I expected better from him. Mike Thompson, who is mine, wussed out with a “present.”
What were they thinking? Do they still not understand the assignment? Have any of them been asked, or offered to explain, why they voted for this? Deeply disappointed in Raskin and Goldman in particular.
Same. I read Raskin said “he voted for the resolution because it “repeatedly condemns all political violence, extremism and hatred in unequivocal terms,””. Not sure how voting for this did that.
Crow? Lofgren? Sherril? Khanna? Lieu? Don't donate to these people. I'm sure Lateefah voted no.
I’m not donating to anyone except civil rights groups right now.
Fireworks at a memorial. The pitiful pissant. Can’t resist any chance to parade his ignorance in front of the world.
As I’ve seen written elsewhere, it wasn’t a funeral, it was a hate rally. 🙄
Yep. Just an excuse for another of #Bumblefuck's BUND RALLIES.
The fact that ANY house democrat would vote to honor a white nationalist, after one of their own was just brutally murdered in her own home (along with her husband and golden retriever) by a MAGA nut job—and nothing was done to honor her—makes my head want to explode. They continue to be spineless, dumb fucks, whose only goal is to avoid pissing off MAGA. And this is why we can’t have nice things.
Exactly! To vote in favor was an endorsement of every vile thing Kirk stood for and promulgated. Every single 'yes' Democrat should be required to line up and, one at a time, look Rep. Crockett in the eye as they explain why they thought a racist slob deserved to be "honored."
Yes! And they should have to explain it to all of their constituents who’ve been affected by this white nationalist movement.
Ahhh...the racism. It is what is killing us. I dont see how this country can save itself from its own hate and stupidity. And speaking of stupidity....
"projectile stupidity" and MarkWayne belong in the same sentence. He's a complete buffoon...he should go back to being a plumber. Wasn't he a plumber? 🤦♀️
projectile stupidity is a great term - so right-on and hilarious - Jeff got it
I laughed so hard I spewed Greek yogurt out my nose. Not a comfortable experience. But I needed a laugh to enable me to deal with the rest of the horseshit Jeff showed us.
MarkWayne, BillyBob, JimmyRay, JoeHarry… and the State School Superintendent inbred big screen in his office porn watching Bible thumper Ryan Walters… when will their Book of Revelation’s Great WHITE MAN’s THRONE” be the place where they all sit?
I really despise that MarkWayne creature. The way he disrespected the CDC Director last week during a hearing was appalling. It made me so furious.
I missed that yet it doesnt surprise me…Markwayne must have been dropped on his head as a baby.
Repeatedly.
PVC pipe is smarter than Markwayne.😂😂
Every time Markwayne Mullin opens his mouth on a Sunday show, it’s like someone hit the flush handle on America’s septic tank. And JD Vance calling for “unity” while threatening citizens is just the Dollar Store sequel. Trump struts in with fireworks at a memorial, Laura Ingraham cheers police assaults, and the cult claps like it’s halftime at Monster Jam. Idiocracy wasn’t a warning. It was the casting call.
I can't understand why Mullins keeps getting invited onto those shows. he's not even an interesting liar
Because cable bookers treat politics like pro wrestling, Jeff. They don’t care if Mullin is an interesting liar. They just need a guy in a suit who can grunt the talking points without drooling on the table. He’s the human equivalent of a folding chair: cheap, predictable, and always available when the script calls for a smackdown.
Not sure about the "without drooling" part! :D
That “without drooling” part made my day! Still laughing!
Spectacle of stupidity. Apparently he's considered to be entertaining.
The Fox News demographic hits the IQ ceiling at 100.
That's being generous.
I watched this Jasmine Crockett clip twice yesterday, and both times it brought me to tears. Her heartfelt statement was full of pain and a sense of betrayal. Racism will always be with us, and even we enlightened liberal white folks cannot ever truly understand it, or always even recognize it when we see it.
Nailed it
Racism better not always be with us. I don't think it's where I live. I can say that, because the r's would be run out of town. But it makes me SOOOOO angry.
This place where you live: Is it an all-white utopia? Because that’s the only way there’s no racism where you live. And as I said, racism is and always will be with us. We were founded on it. We’re soaking in it.
NO, it's BERKELEY, CA. It's a Bay Area Utopia. On my block, a Chinese/white retired cop couple, a rabbi and his family, us, a lesbian couple with two girls, a black widow, another black widow, a Chinese unmarried couple, a Korean, a black retiree (my husband and I went to school with him), an Indonesian/ Palestinian Muslim couple with a little boy and a South African au pair, another black retiree, and a white female artist. Some of us have been here over 30 years (the first couple, us, and all the black residents, the Korean, and the artist. Now, I admit, everyone who's moved here in the last five years paid at least $1M for their homes (this is considered the low rent area of Berkeley). The Bay Area is very mixed, and to show any overt racism is a not do, because just because someone is light brown, you have no idea what their actual racial background is. Light brown is the prevalent skin color in the Bay Area. This is the reason why California will secede and leave Tennessee behind. We are so done here.
That’s very impressive. A racially-mixed population in Berkeley who can afford million-dollar houses and manage to not show any “overt racism.” When you secede from the union, will you take the rest of California with you, including Orange County, Fresno, and [checks notes] Colfax?
You should have paid attention to the fact that we are the low rent neighborhood in Berkeley. But I don't believe reading comprehension is taught in Tennessee schools, is it? And you don't know how people are able to buy these homes. Oh, they work high tech jobs or their parents died and they sold their homes to make the down payments on their own homes. We'll probably take Orange County, since it's already ours. Fresno, they've pretty much run out of their water table, so they won't be farming there much longer. Colfax? If and when we're gone, I suggest you grow your own food, because you won't be able to afford the tariffs.
I live in a Floriduh 116-unit condo complex and in eleven years here I have known only six people, two of them a married hetero couple. I choose whom I associate with very carefully. All of them have done major favors for me as I become more and more dependent for physical tasks.
Jeff, wooo boy, quite the scene in Phoenix yesterday… All that garbage left in the parking lot, a huge wooden cross with training wheels, fireworks ( cause who doesn’t have fireworks at a funeral). And the speeches, all Christian Nationalist in nature such as the deceased being compared to a prophet, or the very embodiment of Jesus himself. Millers speech was lifted from a Goebbles 1935 speech which sounded kind of Nazi. And the Tucker bringing out the old Jew hater speech… I could go on but … hey… Rapture Day tomorrow… funny how Rapture Day falls on the Jewish New Year… quite the coincidence… Best to All who are still here tomorrow who are “left behind”😊
That grand entrance was . . . there are no words for what that was. And did Lee Greenwood get dropped on his fucking head when he was a baby? I hoped and prayed he would see the light at some point but noooo. There he was. I'm going back to bed until the rapture is over.
alas, all of THEM will be left behind too - no escape for any of us
I didn't watch a second but could not escape the updates and push notifications. but love your comment. Rich coming from "sounded kind of Nazi because he is a Nazi" Stephen Miller (Jewish) and I noticed when his fascist soulmate Katie Miller(Also Jewish) had Pam Bondi on her podcast (that I only saw for a second when people posted the clip where she was saying she would go after anyone for hate speech as I noticed immediately a huge crystal cross on the table sitting next to Bondi.) Since I doubt he and Katie and kids are celebrating the Jewish New Year starting tonight they are welcome to go with all their fascist evangelical friends. I read the only one who said she forgave his killer and doesn't have hate because Jesus would forgive was his widow. The irony was breathtaking with every other person there including Donnie Darko saying "I Hate" ( like it's a surprise)
Did you ever see the HBO show "The Leftovers" from 2014 where in the opening minutes 2% of the people on earth disappear In "The Sudden Departure"/The Rapture? It's a prelude to what happens 3 years later to those left behind. Some of the famous people that disappeared (along with regular people) were Pope Benedict-Salman Rushdie- Jennifer Lopez-Anthony Bourdain-Gary Busey-Shaq (the book lists more. Putin-Adam Sandler-Condaleeza Rice) and of course the religious crazies left screaming " take me..wait for me" Brilliant naming Christian-Muslim-Jewish-Black-brown, right, left, communist, liberal etc.and lists how many people from each country lost people that day and of course North Korea said none. It's a very deep and profound story but with humour too. One of those great cult shows that HBO used to make that.would NEVER be made today. I totally expect.to be left, so see you all tomorrow.
So I’m guessing Miller and his family will be “left behind”😢😢😢
Well based on the book and show anyone could be taken, but yeah, most likely stays to hate another day. Can't have good without evil unfortunately.
Well, have not played or spoken to them in over a week, tomorrow being a religious holiday I am unable to join them. I’ll give a summary after next week’s outing. Thx for asking🤠
L’Shanah Tovah!
How did your golf buddies react to the memorial spectacular?
See ya next week then, Fredo!
Kind of Nazi?
I didn't know that almost all the so-called democrats voted in favor of "honoring" Kirk. GODDAMN they are gutless. Do they really think this helps them "negotiate" with the sons of bitches who are working day and night to fuck us over?
the reason Democrats are polling in the toilet is not because of “independents” (who honestly are just gop that like weed) or gop, it’s because the base is pissed off about how leadership bends over to kiss MAGA ass.
Wrong! People polled have no idea what "leadership" us doing, and while WE obsess about this (and draw so many erroneous conclusions), it's not even remotely on the radar of average American, not one of whom is asking "How is Democratic leadership in Congess doing?" I can tell you what they're asking because I talk to them: how can I afford rent and groceries, why is my kid's school crumbling, when will they fill the damn pothole on my street, put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air! (I actually heard this Saturday amidst a discussion about farming) and RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. No one gives a shit that political obsessives are upset that Hakeem Jeffries isn't threatening Gym Jordan to a duel.
Oh my lordysakes--I would PAY SO MUCH for Jefferies to challenge Gym to a duel. Pay Per View time--end of US deficit.
As a bonus, we could hire the funeral fireworks company.
It would be a thing of beauty.
I'd vote for just SHOOTING THE FIREWORKS STRAIGHT INTO #GymJordan's FILTHY NEON GREEN TIE....living in his stupid "Duck District", as I do.
We never SEE him....so we won't MISS him.
That's because they are ignorant of what leadership does or doesn't do. The "Average American" is only aware of the six inches in front of their nose. That doesn't make my argument any less valid. If there's one thing MAGAts have proved it's that every election is a base election even when 90% of the base don't know or care apparently why. Also I would add that focusing on "kitchen table" issues is what got us into this mess in the first place.
UNITE!
EXACTLY!!!!
God Bless Rep. Crockett for speaking the truth.
I absolutely adore Crockett. She speaks her mind and the truth.
Can you imagine how much she must terrify Donnie Demento?
I would love to see her debate him🫢
Well, she would not let him loom over her like Clinton did. I've always believed that if Clinton had swung around and got in his face she would have won. Every woman in the world would have voted for her if she had kneed him in his frozen zone.
I was screaming at Clinton to do that *as it was happening*!
I once had one of our local mental cases try to follow me to my car one night after work. I waited until I heard his footsteps get *just close enough*....then spun around, stepped right up into his face, & screamed, "WHAT?????"
He pissed his pants & RAN! 🤣
I loved watching her rip Kash Patel several well-deserved new ones (“I didn’t ask you a question” without breaking stride or even looking up — fantastic)
It's lovely when the misogynistic racists underestimate her and Rep. Crockett proceeds to dismantle them before they can draw another breath.
That was a thing of beauty. Her masterful use of her papers was also wonderfully disrespectful.
YES! She’s what we need but Dems are so fucked up right now they can’t see the forest for the trees.
She is EXACTLY where she needs to be, so is Raskin, Swalwell, Murphy and the like. They are needed to speak for The People.
Kirk’s widow was selling Merch - all proceeds to her - at her husband’s memorial service despite her estate being worth over $15 million. Fireworks, most of Kirk's extended family not even there, and the performative grief - these people are beyond belief.
Trump has no empathy - he is incapable of feeling it. These people are sociopaths and were performing.
My god. This is sickening. And to think the republican congressmen who were there had voted just 11 days before to protect wealthy child rapists. You cannot make this shit up.
Charlie Kirk was a nasty, hateful, racist, bigoted, conman.
Give me a break
It's all about The Grift and the MAGAt Cult gladly hands over their money to buy that Chinese garbage. It's pure insanity...
I didn't watch a second of it, but it sounds utterly fitting for a cheap, worthless conman.
Had I attended, I would've needed oxygen from laughing so hard at the FIREWORKS. Did the juggler on the unicycle and the guy on stilts playing a kazoo not show up?
She also started a Go Fund Me that received $12 MILLION
Utter righteous indignation from the same people who voted to protect pedophiles and the right of the wealthy to rape children. Pretty rich.
They are going to milk that cash cow for every last drop.
Fuckin' hell.
All it would've taken was a spark.
Just one tiny spark ...
... to land on his empty head, ignite the gobs of product glueing the last 50 strands of his hair to his scalp and ...
There is no god.
LOL!!
😂😂😂
