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'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!!
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)
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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."
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.
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 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)
Since we are all sick of it, I cut a history of Charlie Kirk. Yeah probably the last one of these im doing. But I think after Trump pushed the narrative button that he hates his opponents yesterday , its needed.
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.
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.

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.
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...)

GAG...
It’s all about the moola with these Dipshits.
OBSCENE
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.
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.
Jeff, I’ve been avoiding any mention of that travesty on television and in the papers. I have a very sensitive stomach.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.
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 😅
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...
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.
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!
My daughter, in the Bay Area, said she slept right through it but that "the house shook a little."
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.
No, but Epstein Files and Epstein files also Epstein documents. Sorry Jeff I had to.
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's a convicted sexual abuser.
Thanks, Megan, I've added that in a new, revised version of "the letter".
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 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.
Well, my representative is a real star, and this is just her first term.
Melanie Stansbury?
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?
This is gold. Pure gold. 🌟
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.
👏👏👏👏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?
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!
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.
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.
Megan, I didn't even turn my TV on yesterday. I was upset to learn that MSNBC broadcast the hate rally/memorial 😤🤬
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.
I'm shocked and disappointed that Raskin voted for it. Wow.
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.
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.
Fireworks at a memorial. The pitiful pissant. Can’t resist any chance to parade his ignorance in front of the world.
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.
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.
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
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.
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”😊
alas, all of THEM will be left behind too - no escape for any of us
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.
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🤠
How did your golf buddies react to the memorial spectacular?
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.
EXACTLY!!!!
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.
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!
God Bless Rep. Crockett for speaking the truth.
I absolutely adore Crockett. She speaks her mind and the truth.
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.
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 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)
That was a thing of beauty. Her masterful use of her papers was also wonderfully disrespectful.
It's lovely when the misogynistic racists underestimate her and Rep. Crockett proceeds to dismantle them before they can draw another breath.
My brother lives there. He’s fine. I live an hour north. I guess that’s what woke me up.
Since we are all sick of it, I cut a history of Charlie Kirk. Yeah probably the last one of these im doing. But I think after Trump pushed the narrative button that he hates his opponents yesterday , its needed.
