"who talks like this — the towns, the villages? does Donny imagine he’s living in 18-century Bavaria?" is a line that originally ran right below Donny's 'enemy within' remark.
I love it, but I took it out because it fucked with the flow of the piece
Speaking of Villages - The Villages Dem Party is having a "get out and vote" event today and the parking lots are full - and that's hard to do with golf carts! Victor Shi posted on Xitter that there are thousands of carts. My Aunt and Uncle are there and say it's wild! GO BLUE FLORIDA!
Awesome news. I thought The Villages were solid red. Maybe they realized that the Nazis were coming for their social security and Medicare benefits. 'Bout time.
My aunt moved there from California and was surprised to find a very active dem community. They are still outnumbered but there was a huge cart parade yesterday and there are a lot more Dems now than when she moved there 8 years ago. The demographic is becoming more liberal than decades ago.
I wanna see a golf car standoff, maybe a golf car smash-up derby between the Dems and the redhats. Watch the redhats tip over in their golf carts under the weight of their Trump flags.
Ooh I need to go find that on IG somewhere—thanks!
Also there was video of hundreds of Harris/Walz supporters walking through raggedy ass old St Augustine yesterday! Past all the junk stores selling ultra magat gear, it was glorious!!
I mailed my ballot off early this morning! YES, I VOTED...blue up and down the ticket. LOL, several positions only had Republicans running (mostly judicial positions), and I glaringly left those blank!
Early voted in Ohio on the 9th, blue all the way down and yes to Issue 1, and I'm so much calmer now! Even voted myself to pay more taxes for our FD and EMS, it felt so good! I also left all the single candidate Repuglicans blank. Fuck yeah voting!
I just got a chuckle. I was thinking the same thing. "The towns the villages"! Maybe from an old Christmas carol? DT's unconscious is a thing of wonder.
Flow is a basic concept of writing. You can't tell a craftsman to do less than he's capable of doing. Do you tell your surgeon not to be careful? We read Jeff because he's funny and because he's a fine literary craftsman. It is obvious that he is funny—his literary craft comes in the clarity and smooth delivery.
As for the proverb, it is way older than Obama. I assume you know that Voltaire lived in the 18th century.
Google: The phrase "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is commonly attributed to French philosopher Voltaire, who originally said "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" which translates to "The best is the enemy of the good" in French; essentially meaning that striving for perfection can prevent you from taking action and achieving something good.
Or who he's running against. Old rectum mouth with the Earl Schieb face paint is living in a world where his fog is getting thicker and more dangerous. Hard to believe that it's being reported that the election is currently tied. Sounds like more poorly reported media bullshit as we anxiously wait for election day. In the meantime, Joe Bob, Billy Clyde and rest of the fucked up hate fueled MAGAs are threatening the brave FEMA workers who are trying to help them. Goes to show how much damage has been done over the last nine years.
Because rage muppet Fartiromo isn't there for objective truth, she's there to further rile up the idiots and give Orange Shitler an excuse to ramble for twenty minutes and shit himself. She's an offense against humanity.
When I heard him saying that I was, “Christ on a Cracker!”, where are these wee villages he speaks of? Apparently like most of the other times it comes from that pea brain he’s got.
I sill cannot believe, almost 45% now,that there are that many stupid insane weirdo’s in the country.
Idk but I’m feeling doubtful once again about the election.
I also love it. He’s such a fucking asshole. I’m so afraid we will get him again. She is sinking and he is rising and she needs to attack him for his fascism and his threats in plain language. He is a FASCIST. But maybe the American populace has been so pounded and lied to and gaslighted for so long that now a majority wants a fascist and Project 2025 out of exhaustion. I can’t believe what is happening. He is called out on NOTHING. He is a convicted felon, and he is talking about radical left “criminals”? My panic rises on the daily.
I’m getting really upset, angry that the Harris/Walz campaign is spending no time & money to address those really egregious lies he tells about her.
I realize they can’t waste too much time on that bc he tells so many, but at least do the ones that really turn people against her.
My younger sister says she could never vote for Kamala bc she’s a communist. The example she gave was that video clip that shows her, probably back when she was AG, saying that “Yes, we will come in your house & make sure you are storing your guns safely.” I know that’s not something that would happen, I have no idea who she’s speaking to in the vid, maybe a friend or relative?, but to the conservative gun lovers, those are fighting words.
My sister texted “If she comes in MY house, she’s getting shot.” It was like she took it as if a scenario like that could truly happen.
I wish they would make an ad explaining that video & also the one where a woman talks about her daughter, who has sickle cell disease, had missed a lot of school due to that.
The woman says she notified the school about her daughter’s chronic condition & yet she ended up being arrested & charged, jailed. Things like these are being widely circulated & they strike a deep chord of anger.
I want to see the campaign fight back with the truth.
Next time you talk your sister, you may want to remind her that Trump's buddy Putin started with the KGB back in 1975. With Putin's desire to see the US pull out of NATO and with Trump being the stooge who would consider such an insane move, nothing screams communism louder than this crap.
"She lived in Orange County, which is a fairly conservative, "law and order" type of county. The district attorney there was up for reelection, and he did a big truancy sweep under this law, which Kamala Harris had fought for when she was the D.A. of San Francisco and oversaw its implementation when she was attorney general. There was a big sweep, and one of the parents arrested that morning and perp-walked in front of some cameras was Cheree Peoples.
Big picture, [Peoples's case] was one of the most extreme examples of how this law was used. More broadly, what the law did was create a more standardized way for local law enforcement officials to get involved with making sure kids go to school every day. And so very few parents were arrested and perp walked in this really punitive and splashy way. But what did happen to a lot of families is that they were ushered into a system that asked parents: Why can't why can't you get your act together? Why can't you send your kids to school?...
"I thought it was really interesting to look at [Harris's] involvement in this issue, because she didn't invent the idea of punishing parents when their kids miss school. California already had a law on its books. Her innovation was to build a really standardized way for local district attorneys to get involved in pressuring parents to make sure their kids go to school. And a lot of education advocates were happy that she brought attention to the issue, because they say attention is actually the number one way we solve truancy. They think it's really important to call people's attention to the fact that, Hey, it adds up when your kids miss school. What Harris also intended to do was to build a system where the school district officials, teachers and parents could all sit down and talk through the problems: Why isn't your kid coming to school? What are the resources that we could give you to help make sure that your child goes to school every day? And what she sort of layered on top of that was, You will get a series of increasingly scary warnings from the district attorney if this problem doesn't get solved. And that's what people really put their finger on as what they disliked about this program: As the [absenteeism] issue continues, the blame increasingly turns toward the parents. The message becomes: We're giving you everything. Why can't you make this work? So when Kamala Harris is spinning up this idea in San Francisco, who supported it, and who was opposed to it?...
I think she zeroed in on this for a couple of reasons. When she was the San Francisco district attorney, she was learning things about who were the city's homicide victims and who was committing homicides. And in both cases, she found that a lot of them were high school dropouts. And that's when she started to think about truancy, because missing a lot of school is linked to dropping out of school.
The way she described why she wanted to get involved was, "We need to do things differently." But I also think she knew that, at the time in the mid-2000s, there wasn't really a political downside to saying, "These parents are not meeting their responsibilities, it's causing problems for society at large, and we should crack down on them for the good of the children."
The law passed with pretty broad support...After we reported on Cheree's case, Harris talked about regretting that some district attorneys had used this law, which she had fought for with good intentions, to crack down really hard on and to criminalize the parents. She has talked a lot about how her law was intended to give schools the tools to make sure parents work with them to solve these problems.
I came here to comment on the "villages." I was wondering if he thought we lived in hamlets, or if he was referring to that retirement community in central Florida.
Dreams of being Hitlerian probably trigger sub conscious memories of Bavarian villages…you know “Zieg heil” and all that…he is descendent from Germans and Aliens from another planet after all.
I really wish President Biden would use his presidential immunity powers to arrest these assholes, throw them in jail and charge Donnie Diaperload with inciting violence. Fk that guy.
I was about to say the same thing. Why can’t the FBI under the leadership of Biden put an end to this moron for using hate speech to incite violence. Arrest TMF, and put him in jail until his trial. He is a serious threat to the rule of law and I very much fear the aftermath of the election whether he wins or loses. Read Joyce Vance’s latest substack talking about good old General Flynn. That in itself sent shivers down my spine. The time to deal with him is now, not on Nov 5 or 6th.
I agree....it amazes me how this country just sits back and lets it all unfold without any lines drawn whatsoever... like WTF, of course these calamities would never be allowed if this was a democrat behaving like this
Yeah I read Joyce's article and then watched the video. Flynn was very careful not to mention the tribunals and executions, but the bit at the end was chilling, as was the crowd when they cheered for "executions". And although probably short of the definition of "incitement" the mere fact that when the audience member mentioned execution and the crowd cheered, that Flynn didn't immediately say "Whoa now, let's not go there" or words to that effect, made my blood run cold.
I’m glad that you were able to get through it. It’s incomprehensible to me that this former general was not stripped of his pension for fomenting this type of vitriol.
Magat will be riled if trump wins, loses or draws. It’s their new normal as they take their cues from the orange moron who’s always riled up because of the most benign occurrence. If he hears a bird chirping, he’ll bitch about that; he’s filled to the helm with personal grievances and his attitude has infected all of his followers. Time to shut him up before it’s way too late.
Yup, Michael Moore, for one, is calling for Biden to exercise immunity in other matters. Trumps lack of civilty is intolerable & a clear danger. I understand the concern about legality being called into question, that legal preceded hasn't been established because no one has ever so blatantly trashed all of principles of fair play. But, the line has been crossed so badly for so long, there is no way locking that POS up is "election interference", fuck him & the horse he rode in on. We have to back our Leadership in doing what is necessary, lock him up & shut this shit down. This isn't who we are & we have to stop fucking around. It's past time for these assholes to find out once & for all. We have to stand behind our leadership to do that.
Yes, but I'm hoping that Biden is waiting until after the election. The wackos would pick up their assault rifles if he does anything before the election. After Nov 5 - presidential immunity, baby!
He needs to wait until after the election to keep the cultists from coming out in droves to vote for the felon out of rage. He's a smart guy, and he's not going to do anything to motivate the mouth-breathing sister-fuckers to get off their cousins and go vote.
I’m hoping. If we have a path to stop this insanity we must use it. Waiting after the election is wise. Then Biden will know for sure he’s using the newly given powers to the President to truly save our democracy. I’ve listened to both sides. The Evangelicals are hell bent on forcing their religious beliefs on all of us through government policies and control. You can fuck that shit right there.
Next come the MAGA’s angry white men who think they’re losing their legacy and right to lord themselves over their wives and families and are mad no women want them. AKA-white trash and billionaire white trash. I’m not worried about Harris winning, she will. I’m worried about the aftermath.
Immediately revoking CFDT and warrants for every single election or former official involved with January 6th 2021 is imminent.
Diaper Donnie has never won anything by the popular vote,and I don't believe he's going to win anything now,but president Biden still has authority until Jan 2025,and still has some options.
yes indeed...but after the election....We dont want his cult to destroy our voting locations and prevent the election from happening...it would become an even bigger mess to sort out.
Although maybe some National Guard strategically deployed on election day near places where they know Trump cultists are planning to threaten election workers and voters should be considered.
Absolutely. The National Guard must be put on alert in all the crazy states. The sad and worrisome thing is that they are probably Trumpers so who knows how that will go?
I would bet more than half of the National Guard members are MAGA. If shit gets real, MAGAs may cleave off and join their neo confederate buddies. It would be reminiscent of the confederate Corps of Cadets splitting from West Point during the early days of the American Civil War.
yes, we the people are thinking like that, seems rational and logical. Now if the government can just think like that, we might have a chance for a sane election
There's really an East Jesus, TN? I mean if there was such a place of course it would be in Tennessee. ( 😄 I'm originally from Kentucky so it could also be there.) And is there also a West Jesus, TN?
“East Jesus” is my affectionate nickname for the East Tennessee region in general. (I’m in Knoxville, East TN’s “big city”). W. Tennessee would be Memphis, where political thinking is more progressive than it is here in Jesus Land.
LOL. yep, I've been to Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis I s, Chattanooga, Gatlinburg and I think Pigeon Forge. Although I've only been in and around the Greyhound Bus Station in Knoxville and that was probably almost 50 years ago. It's a beautiful state but like KY the eastern part's a bit sketchy.
Donny is in essence mocking Bidens self imposed impotence by saying and doing whatever the hell he wants because he KNOWS Biden won't do anything. Joey has been granted 'immunity' & how does Joe respond?? By pulling back even MORE and NOT exercising his authority. Timid, weak and beaten down older 'moderate' Dems have caused this situation....the MAGA neither respects nor fears Democrats
I agree that erring on the side of civilty & diplomacy had been used against us..all the way back to Nixon being pardoned. We have to fix loopholes that are being exploited, there's never been such blatant abuse of our social contracts. I think Biden tried to maintain the dignity of the office. But, it is SO good to see Harris exercising her skill & experience as a Prosecutor. I think she's doing a damn good job of holding dignity while calling out the bullshit.
Except Joe Biden is a decent man who believes in doing things the right way. He won't pardon Hunter because he believes it would not be right to override a legal verdict.
Toss jd in with him. I think he’s the one who started the eating pets bs.
Those poor people in Springfield, going about their business, coping with the influx of Haitians brought in to work in factories without any notice to the mayor to start planning for it. But they were coping and now there is chaos because of that fat fucker and his slimy vp pick.
I have a similar wish. We have all learned not to disbelieve or ignore the hateful, violent threats that Donald Trump spews out daily. He really means them and does everything in his power to carry them out. Trump is dangerous. He will be most dangerous if he loses the presidential election. He has told us there will be violence. When that violence comes we will need Joe Biden to exercise his authority as commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world to stop it. Biden should not be timid in protecting the peaceful transition of power should Trump try to use violence to stop Kamala Harris from being sworn in as president. After all, thanks to Trump's Supreme Court, Joe Biden will have immunity from prosecution for any action he takes to protect our democracy, its institutions, the peaceful transition of power, and the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris.
MAGA was already in control of Republican politicians before Covid, and I would think most people would have been more comforted by Biden's solutions-based approach than the Trump approach of bouncing around like a pinball. I don't think Covid won converts to MAGA, though it might have solidified the base.
According to the most recent conspiracy theory, Trump’s increasingly dark skin is due to a voodoo curse placed on him after he named certain places “shithole countries.” It also states that he will be tried as a black man for all his crimes after the election. Sad.
That scans with the direction he's been going now screaming victim & martyr...inconceivably claiming an alliance with black "felons", while advancing supremacy genetics ... I can't wait until we lock this sick fuck up.
"tarted-up rodeo clown." 😂😂😂 What's it gonna take for people to understand Dump IS the enemy within? And do they even understand what fascism REALLY is? Because if they did, surely they wouldn't wan to lose their freedoms?? I don't understand WTF is wrong with Americans. ☹️
The destruction of public education starts the direct path to where we are today. Itʻs all part of the plan. Homeschooling helps keep the population stupid.
Yes... he's really been good at bringing out the very worst in some Americans. He's unleashed their desire to be mad...about anything. These people are despicable.
These people used to vote Republican but the GOP and its pundits kept a tight lid on them. Now they have crawled out from under their wet rocks and their worst impulses are out in broad daylight. I am just floored by how many of them there really are.
Being originally from New England,and on this 'Indigenious People's Day',we are all aware that the Pilgrims and settlers brought their views of white supremacy and religious zealotry on the boats with them,and it still exists to this day.
To think that all of this hate has been laying fallow. All it took was one deranged conman to come down a golden escalator with a money chasing soft-porn model to nurture it…water it…throw some shit on top to fertilize it and…VOILA! MAGATS!
He’s fighting for a white-Christian fascist state with himself as king. That he’s batshit insane should be obvious even to his brain-dead cult, but I think Trumpism, not Trump, is the motivator now. The rancid bag of waste has become THEIR useful idiot. Maybe that’s why his would-be “assassins” are splinter-group MAGAts who feel he’s now just in the way of their glorious cause.
Except in this case, tRump is actually the TOOL of the GQP to get JD Vance into the presidency.
They will drop tRump the Idiot like a hot rock due to “medical concerns.” Vance is younger, has just as few scruples and would be more dangerous as POTUS.
French people from France feel the same way. 2 of my grandkids live in France, dual citizens, and when you mention trump they make a 🤮 gesture. Not a pretty gesture, you’ll agree, but it certainly describes how some of us feel. A lot of your allies know full well the wrath that he will bring to our nations if we don’t toe his line.
Our allies are definitely horrified but even worse, they’re trying to figure out how to go forward without the US if that pos is elected. Trump wants to get us out of NATO which would have Putin laughing with glee at how his investment in him paid off so magnificently. My heart is breaking. I’m holding out hope that the polls are underestimating Harris/Walz support.
I agree with both of you, as I’ve felt the same way for the last nine years. But at my age, I can’t give up on the optimism I’ve always felt, that we are better than this. My hope is that we obliterate him at the polls in November. And we can all sit by and watch him go to court and EVENTUALLY jail!
According to Wisconsin Dems…our state is at a RAZOR THIN outcome right now. Negative ads are being shown continuously on Harris, Walz, Baldwin…I’m sick to my stomach that these fucking idiots are THISCLOSE to destroying democracy. Pray for a fucking landslide for Harris, et. al.
That's what I've been harping on lately. Where are all the HE'S A 34 COUNT FELON - HE'S AN ADJUDICATED SEXUAL ASSAULTER - HE STOLE 1,000'S OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS - HE INTERFERED IN AN ELECTION - HE LIED ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION
She sure has plenty of ammo and I'm beginning to think there's a Trump supporter that does her ads. She needs to fight fight fight back!
Or play a supercut of his inability to even deliver his lines, combined with his Lecter/boat/shark references. Unfortunately, since he always wears the same suit and tie, it's hard to tell that there are a dozen different speeches like that.
Let me sum up, the mail carriers better hold on. There are millions of Dem postcards waiting to be released in mid- to late October. Some are mine, I'm proud to say.
The governor of NC, Roy Cooper, is a Democrat and I'm quite sure he's all over this. He's been an excellent governor, hamstrung by a veto-proof state legislature.
It turns out that the threat was from a lone individual although WAPO had issued a report Sunday about truckloads of armed militia threatening to go "owl-shooting on FEMA workers." Associated Press: "Gov. Roy Cooper’s staff said in a statement Monday that his office was aware of “reports of threats to response workers on the ground,” as well as “significant misinformation online.” Cooper directed state law enforcement officials to work with local authorities to identify “the specific threats and rumors.”
GOD DAMN THEM ALL. Garland could've stopped this YEARS ago but nooooo that evil Republican had to stand down. Biden's worst mistake he ever made was hiring that worthless lump of coal.
1. Lol, my son in law and I were commenting yesterday that Lord McFries was wearing blackface.
2. NC is now what’s known as a Category WTF tornado, a vicious cyclone of a disaster, people trying to help, armed goons interfering, the help not getting to those that need it, those that need it complaining there is no help.
The armed militia going after FEMA workers is one of the best reasons that Jesus changed his middle name to FUCKING. Jesus Christ on a fucking cracker. And all MSNBC can report on is how tight the race is. Over and over they just repeat that it's close "within the margin of error" and telling us where the 2 candidates are traveling to today. They claim Harris' popularity has dropped "5 points in new poll" and that she's "struggling to hold on to Latino vote".
I think I may need someone to talk me down from the ledge. I just want to scream!!
Harris is fighting back. She’s setting up her own press junkets, punching up where she can be heard. Howard Stern, Call Me Daddy (or whatever it is), Colbert, The View, and more. These are the places people live now. A lot of the voters she needs onboard, do not go for traditional MSM for their “news”. If they’d stop asking stupid questions and writing up lying or shaded answers, she might reconsider. Might.
Well, Tim Walz is sharing his recipes with us. I mean, he was in the military for over 20 years and taught/coached fucking high school students. Get that killer game face on, Tim!
💩💩💩I finally realized it— stories about polls in the MSM are nothing but click bait. They might as well have underage girls in bikinis waving the so-called poll results.🦨🦨🦨
As polls seem to indicate that former president Donald Trump has momentum in some swing states with 24 days remaining until the Nov. 5 presidential election, Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg says: Don’t buy it.
About a month ago, Rosenberg predicted that a slew of polls by Republican organizations would flood the zone, showing Trump leading — and, like clockwork, it has happened.
Let’s say Kamala ends up with 53% and he ends up with 47%. That’s a more than decent winning spread. But guess what, with a 3% margin of error statement to play with, it’s legit to hawk that he and she are close. That’s how I think they are doing it. That metric leaves lots of room for media to say “no, we weren’t exaggerating … it’s all within the 3% margin of error rule”.
Drumpf is all but done. Too bad wingnut is there. I hope he can't be the nominee...
The news today in your article is chilling. Appreciate the humorous take but the fact is, we are really in trouble if FEMA workers are being threatened and the gqp is threatening another attack on the voting process and certifying the elections.
The whole evangelical movement is the most frightening of all as they spew out of each side of their mouths.
I don't believe the polls but I also don't trust the electoral process anymore (not that I ever did, but this is straight out alarming).
I appreciate you helping us substackers get through until this nightmare is over in a few weeks.
These insane, now everyday occurrences strain credulity, however I find myself still surprised at what these numbnuts get up to. I honestly can’t understand the mindset of somebody who thinks it’s not just ok, but their DUTY to threaten strangers with weapons.
No offense to those living in red states, but I am so grateful that I don’t have to. I would have been burned at the stake years ago.
That color Spackle he uses is burnt umber. I suspect his dementia is getting worse because of the way he sees himself in the mirror. He doesn't see anything but his eyes, nose and mouth. I personally would like to color his face, especially his mouth with steel gray duct tape.
At what point do LDFF’s sacred “1A Rights” cross the line into yelling “Fire!” in a theater? WHEN? What about the restuvus??? Sick of the threats - direct and implied.
I should start sharing my outtakes.

Maybe that's what Trump meant when he said the evil dems are invading the towns, the villages"! You never know how his 2 brain cells work.
omg Beth, I think you're absolutely right! He is always only talking about his own tiny self and things that affect himself.
Villages had 400+ golf carts for Kamala
I wanna see a golf car standoff, maybe a golf car smash-up derby between the Dems and the redhats. Watch the redhats tip over in their golf carts under the weight of their Trump flags.
They used to be. The times, they are a'changing!
May you be a prophet! Maybe after the hideous owner/developer dies off...
The owner/developer certainly designed it that way.
Ooh I need to go find that on IG somewhere—thanks!
Also there was video of hundreds of Harris/Walz supporters walking through raggedy ass old St Augustine yesterday! Past all the junk stores selling ultra magat gear, it was glorious!!
I mailed my ballot off early this morning! YES, I VOTED...blue up and down the ticket. LOL, several positions only had Republicans running (mostly judicial positions), and I glaringly left those blank!
Early voted in Ohio on the 9th, blue all the way down and yes to Issue 1, and I'm so much calmer now! Even voted myself to pay more taxes for our FD and EMS, it felt so good! I also left all the single candidate Repuglicans blank. Fuck yeah voting!
I just wish that someone would take note of how many "Republican only" positions are left blank.

Love it. Xitter, xitter, xitter.
Pronounced "shitter," right?
I just got a chuckle. I was thinking the same thing. "The towns the villages"! Maybe from an old Christmas carol? DT's unconscious is a thing of wonder.
It’s reminiscent of young Frankenstein, get your pitchforks, cudgels and lanterns out people!!
It might be time to 'bring out your dead'.
"He's not dead yet!"😂😂
CUSTOMER: Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
DEAD PERSON: I'm getting better!
CUSTOMER: No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
CART MASTER: Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
DEAD PERSON: I don't want to go on the cart!
CUSTOMER: Oh, don't be such a baby.
CART MASTER: I can't take him.
DEAD PERSON: I feel fine!
CUSTOMER: Well, do us a favor.
CART MASTER: I can't.
CUSTOMER: Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
CART MASTER: No, I've got to go to the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
It's the King!! How do you know? He's the only one not covered in shit!
I think of Mark Burnett as Dr. Frankenstein, since Mr. B was the one who first inflated the ego of Dump in his "Apprentice" show.
Exactly!
The Dickens one.
…fuck the flow…just write what you feel! lol
The flow is the polish. . . . The finish has to be perfect.
"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."
-B. Obama
Flow is a basic concept of writing. You can't tell a craftsman to do less than he's capable of doing. Do you tell your surgeon not to be careful? We read Jeff because he's funny and because he's a fine literary craftsman. It is obvious that he is funny—his literary craft comes in the clarity and smooth delivery.
As for the proverb, it is way older than Obama. I assume you know that Voltaire lived in the 18th century.
Google: The phrase "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is commonly attributed to French philosopher Voltaire, who originally said "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" which translates to "The best is the enemy of the good" in French; essentially meaning that striving for perfection can prevent you from taking action and achieving something good.
Thanks for the lecture.
If you understood writing, you'd be the one delivering it.
As Tess professed “fuck the flow” Jeff!
nah, I like Jeff's judgement calls...he's a great writer...I like his edits.
Mega Dittos!
Flow schmow. It merits mocking, and it's another example of his brain being on auto-pilot--the kind that sends the driverless car into a tree.
Donnie doesn't know where he is half the time...
Or who he's running against. Old rectum mouth with the Earl Schieb face paint is living in a world where his fog is getting thicker and more dangerous. Hard to believe that it's being reported that the election is currently tied. Sounds like more poorly reported media bullshit as we anxiously wait for election day. In the meantime, Joe Bob, Billy Clyde and rest of the fucked up hate fueled MAGAs are threatening the brave FEMA workers who are trying to help them. Goes to show how much damage has been done over the last nine years.

And there he goes again with no pushback on the 13,000 KILLERS. It's a period of 40 years and not one person has corrected him FFS
Because rage muppet Fartiromo isn't there for objective truth, she's there to further rile up the idiots and give Orange Shitler an excuse to ramble for twenty minutes and shit himself. She's an offense against humanity.
Remember, she works for the Fox Propaganda Station.
For the power, because she is married to an extremely wealthy heir.
Does it count as murder if it has the CIA's imprimatur? Bc you can damn well bet some of those were committed o/b/o truth justice & the 'mericun way.
I picture the hovels for peasants, like in "Shrek"😳😵💫
At this point,I'm just grateful my head isn't exploding from listening to the babbling idiot cult any longer.
When I heard him saying that I was, “Christ on a Cracker!”, where are these wee villages he speaks of? Apparently like most of the other times it comes from that pea brain he’s got.
I sill cannot believe, almost 45% now,that there are that many stupid insane weirdo’s in the country.
Idk but I’m feeling doubtful once again about the election.
Thanks for talking me down off the ledge! lol
Like
I also love it. He’s such a fucking asshole. I’m so afraid we will get him again. She is sinking and he is rising and she needs to attack him for his fascism and his threats in plain language. He is a FASCIST. But maybe the American populace has been so pounded and lied to and gaslighted for so long that now a majority wants a fascist and Project 2025 out of exhaustion. I can’t believe what is happening. He is called out on NOTHING. He is a convicted felon, and he is talking about radical left “criminals”? My panic rises on the daily.
I’m getting really upset, angry that the Harris/Walz campaign is spending no time & money to address those really egregious lies he tells about her.
I realize they can’t waste too much time on that bc he tells so many, but at least do the ones that really turn people against her.
My younger sister says she could never vote for Kamala bc she’s a communist. The example she gave was that video clip that shows her, probably back when she was AG, saying that “Yes, we will come in your house & make sure you are storing your guns safely.” I know that’s not something that would happen, I have no idea who she’s speaking to in the vid, maybe a friend or relative?, but to the conservative gun lovers, those are fighting words.
My sister texted “If she comes in MY house, she’s getting shot.” It was like she took it as if a scenario like that could truly happen.
I wish they would make an ad explaining that video & also the one where a woman talks about her daughter, who has sickle cell disease, had missed a lot of school due to that.
The woman says she notified the school about her daughter’s chronic condition & yet she ended up being arrested & charged, jailed. Things like these are being widely circulated & they strike a deep chord of anger.
I want to see the campaign fight back with the truth.
Next time you talk your sister, you may want to remind her that Trump's buddy Putin started with the KGB back in 1975. With Putin's desire to see the US pull out of NATO and with Trump being the stooge who would consider such an insane move, nothing screams communism louder than this crap.
About that case:
"She lived in Orange County, which is a fairly conservative, "law and order" type of county. The district attorney there was up for reelection, and he did a big truancy sweep under this law, which Kamala Harris had fought for when she was the D.A. of San Francisco and oversaw its implementation when she was attorney general. There was a big sweep, and one of the parents arrested that morning and perp-walked in front of some cameras was Cheree Peoples.
Big picture, [Peoples's case] was one of the most extreme examples of how this law was used. More broadly, what the law did was create a more standardized way for local law enforcement officials to get involved with making sure kids go to school every day. And so very few parents were arrested and perp walked in this really punitive and splashy way. But what did happen to a lot of families is that they were ushered into a system that asked parents: Why can't why can't you get your act together? Why can't you send your kids to school?...
"I thought it was really interesting to look at [Harris's] involvement in this issue, because she didn't invent the idea of punishing parents when their kids miss school. California already had a law on its books. Her innovation was to build a really standardized way for local district attorneys to get involved in pressuring parents to make sure their kids go to school. And a lot of education advocates were happy that she brought attention to the issue, because they say attention is actually the number one way we solve truancy. They think it's really important to call people's attention to the fact that, Hey, it adds up when your kids miss school. What Harris also intended to do was to build a system where the school district officials, teachers and parents could all sit down and talk through the problems: Why isn't your kid coming to school? What are the resources that we could give you to help make sure that your child goes to school every day? And what she sort of layered on top of that was, You will get a series of increasingly scary warnings from the district attorney if this problem doesn't get solved. And that's what people really put their finger on as what they disliked about this program: As the [absenteeism] issue continues, the blame increasingly turns toward the parents. The message becomes: We're giving you everything. Why can't you make this work? So when Kamala Harris is spinning up this idea in San Francisco, who supported it, and who was opposed to it?...
I think she zeroed in on this for a couple of reasons. When she was the San Francisco district attorney, she was learning things about who were the city's homicide victims and who was committing homicides. And in both cases, she found that a lot of them were high school dropouts. And that's when she started to think about truancy, because missing a lot of school is linked to dropping out of school.
The way she described why she wanted to get involved was, "We need to do things differently." But I also think she knew that, at the time in the mid-2000s, there wasn't really a political downside to saying, "These parents are not meeting their responsibilities, it's causing problems for society at large, and we should crack down on them for the good of the children."
The law passed with pretty broad support...After we reported on Cheree's case, Harris talked about regretting that some district attorneys had used this law, which she had fought for with good intentions, to crack down really hard on and to criminalize the parents. She has talked a lot about how her law was intended to give schools the tools to make sure parents work with them to solve these problems.

Does your sister watch Fox?
Ooh - a Jeff Tiedrich Edition of Magnetic Poetry - only yours would have phrases vs single words. That would spice up the fridge 😂‼️
I came here to comment on the "villages." I was wondering if he thought we lived in hamlets, or if he was referring to that retirement community in central Florida.
‘Cutting room floor’ section…⁉️
Dreams of being Hitlerian probably trigger sub conscious memories of Bavarian villages…you know “Zieg heil” and all that…he is descendent from Germans and Aliens from another planet after all.
I really wish President Biden would use his presidential immunity powers to arrest these assholes, throw them in jail and charge Donnie Diaperload with inciting violence. Fk that guy.
I was about to say the same thing. Why can’t the FBI under the leadership of Biden put an end to this moron for using hate speech to incite violence. Arrest TMF, and put him in jail until his trial. He is a serious threat to the rule of law and I very much fear the aftermath of the election whether he wins or loses. Read Joyce Vance’s latest substack talking about good old General Flynn. That in itself sent shivers down my spine. The time to deal with him is now, not on Nov 5 or 6th.
It's Garlands FBI - maybe that's why they haven't done shit about it.
First person Kamala should boot out!
4 years and we’re still screwing around with these cases!
Christopher Wray is a Federalist.
Yikes, no wonder he done SFA!
if that is the case we as a country are in great peril
I agree....it amazes me how this country just sits back and lets it all unfold without any lines drawn whatsoever... like WTF, of course these calamities would never be allowed if this was a democrat behaving like this
Yeah I read Joyce's article and then watched the video. Flynn was very careful not to mention the tribunals and executions, but the bit at the end was chilling, as was the crowd when they cheered for "executions". And although probably short of the definition of "incitement" the mere fact that when the audience member mentioned execution and the crowd cheered, that Flynn didn't immediately say "Whoa now, let's not go there" or words to that effect, made my blood run cold.
I’m glad that you were able to get through it. It’s incomprehensible to me that this former general was not stripped of his pension for fomenting this type of vitriol.
I think at this point it's like watching a guy digging his own grave.
May you be a prophet!
Praise be.
Amen!
Good old Flynn is wearing aluminum foil hats by now, isn’t he?
he's been a full blown Q-nut for a decade. Both Flynn brothers are enemies of the Union.
The downside is that would really rile up his supporters... might backfire big time.
Magat will be riled if trump wins, loses or draws. It’s their new normal as they take their cues from the orange moron who’s always riled up because of the most benign occurrence. If he hears a bird chirping, he’ll bitch about that; he’s filled to the helm with personal grievances and his attitude has infected all of his followers. Time to shut him up before it’s way too late.
That's surrendering to terrorism. No, we cannot refrain from doing what is right because evil people might attack.
Yup, Michael Moore, for one, is calling for Biden to exercise immunity in other matters. Trumps lack of civilty is intolerable & a clear danger. I understand the concern about legality being called into question, that legal preceded hasn't been established because no one has ever so blatantly trashed all of principles of fair play. But, the line has been crossed so badly for so long, there is no way locking that POS up is "election interference", fuck him & the horse he rode in on. We have to back our Leadership in doing what is necessary, lock him up & shut this shit down. This isn't who we are & we have to stop fucking around. It's past time for these assholes to find out once & for all. We have to stand behind our leadership to do that.
Yes, but I'm hoping that Biden is waiting until after the election. The wackos would pick up their assault rifles if he does anything before the election. After Nov 5 - presidential immunity, baby!
He needs to wait until after the election to keep the cultists from coming out in droves to vote for the felon out of rage. He's a smart guy, and he's not going to do anything to motivate the mouth-breathing sister-fuckers to get off their cousins and go vote.
Wow. Awesome insults. Well done.
Great point
I’m hoping. If we have a path to stop this insanity we must use it. Waiting after the election is wise. Then Biden will know for sure he’s using the newly given powers to the President to truly save our democracy. I’ve listened to both sides. The Evangelicals are hell bent on forcing their religious beliefs on all of us through government policies and control. You can fuck that shit right there.
Next come the MAGA’s angry white men who think they’re losing their legacy and right to lord themselves over their wives and families and are mad no women want them. AKA-white trash and billionaire white trash. I’m not worried about Harris winning, she will. I’m worried about the aftermath.
Immediately revoking CFDT and warrants for every single election or former official involved with January 6th 2021 is imminent.
exactly what i was thinking...
🎯🎯🎯
And what if Donnie wins the election? What can Biden do then? Nothing.
Diaper Donnie has never won anything by the popular vote,and I don't believe he's going to win anything now,but president Biden still has authority until Jan 2025,and still has some options.
yes indeed...but after the election....We dont want his cult to destroy our voting locations and prevent the election from happening...it would become an even bigger mess to sort out.
Although maybe some National Guard strategically deployed on election day near places where they know Trump cultists are planning to threaten election workers and voters should be considered.
Absolutely. The National Guard must be put on alert in all the crazy states. The sad and worrisome thing is that they are probably Trumpers so who knows how that will go?
I would bet more than half of the National Guard members are MAGA. If shit gets real, MAGAs may cleave off and join their neo confederate buddies. It would be reminiscent of the confederate Corps of Cadets splitting from West Point during the early days of the American Civil War.
yes, we the people are thinking like that, seems rational and logical. Now if the government can just think like that, we might have a chance for a sane election
YES, all of this.
There's really an East Jesus, TN? I mean if there was such a place of course it would be in Tennessee. ( 😄 I'm originally from Kentucky so it could also be there.) And is there also a West Jesus, TN?
LOL
“East Jesus” is my affectionate nickname for the East Tennessee region in general. (I’m in Knoxville, East TN’s “big city”). W. Tennessee would be Memphis, where political thinking is more progressive than it is here in Jesus Land.
LOL. yep, I've been to Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis I s, Chattanooga, Gatlinburg and I think Pigeon Forge. Although I've only been in and around the Greyhound Bus Station in Knoxville and that was probably almost 50 years ago. It's a beautiful state but like KY the eastern part's a bit sketchy.
I thought you meant East Jesus as in "the middle of nowhere with no services". That's how the one in CA describes itself.
Wait — you mean there actually IS an East Jesus?!
Donny is in essence mocking Bidens self imposed impotence by saying and doing whatever the hell he wants because he KNOWS Biden won't do anything. Joey has been granted 'immunity' & how does Joe respond?? By pulling back even MORE and NOT exercising his authority. Timid, weak and beaten down older 'moderate' Dems have caused this situation....the MAGA neither respects nor fears Democrats
I agree that erring on the side of civilty & diplomacy had been used against us..all the way back to Nixon being pardoned. We have to fix loopholes that are being exploited, there's never been such blatant abuse of our social contracts. I think Biden tried to maintain the dignity of the office. But, it is SO good to see Harris exercising her skill & experience as a Prosecutor. I think she's doing a damn good job of holding dignity while calling out the bullshit.
Except Joe Biden is a decent man who believes in doing things the right way. He won't pardon Hunter because he believes it would not be right to override a legal verdict.
Fundraising would hit the roof :/
SADLY
Toss jd in with him. I think he’s the one who started the eating pets bs.
Those poor people in Springfield, going about their business, coping with the influx of Haitians brought in to work in factories without any notice to the mayor to start planning for it. But they were coping and now there is chaos because of that fat fucker and his slimy vp pick.
I have a similar wish. We have all learned not to disbelieve or ignore the hateful, violent threats that Donald Trump spews out daily. He really means them and does everything in his power to carry them out. Trump is dangerous. He will be most dangerous if he loses the presidential election. He has told us there will be violence. When that violence comes we will need Joe Biden to exercise his authority as commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world to stop it. Biden should not be timid in protecting the peaceful transition of power should Trump try to use violence to stop Kamala Harris from being sworn in as president. After all, thanks to Trump's Supreme Court, Joe Biden will have immunity from prosecution for any action he takes to protect our democracy, its institutions, the peaceful transition of power, and the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris.
I’m wondering how long it will take the “Supremes “ to change their tune and revoke the immunity when Kamala is elected.
I still think they like Trump because he gives them an excuse for why their own lives aren't perfect: those brown people.
40% of Americans are college educated, it's not all about stupidity or ignorance,it's more about white nationalism and grievance politics.
Well said, I believe so many people live in fear,fear of death,fear of change,fear of the 'others'...IMO, that's no way to live.
There was an interesting article that COVID caused mass PTSD and many people turned to MAGA out of anxiety. Like a religion.
It's a decent theory. I have PTSD from the Trump years but I haven't gone ape-shit crazy (yet). If I can just hold on for a few more weeks...
MAGA was already in control of Republican politicians before Covid, and I would think most people would have been more comforted by Biden's solutions-based approach than the Trump approach of bouncing around like a pinball. I don't think Covid won converts to MAGA, though it might have solidified the base.
There is a maxim, not sure of the source: One who knows, but does not know they know, is asleep. Wake them
One who does not know, but knows they do not know, is a child. Teach them
One who does not know, but does not know they do not know, is a fool. Ignore them
One who knows, and knows that they know, is wise. Heed them
Willful ignorance threatens America like never before. Sad.
Query: isn't lying to prospective voters at a rate of three lies per minute also election interference?
According to the most recent conspiracy theory, Trump’s increasingly dark skin is due to a voodoo curse placed on him after he named certain places “shithole countries.” It also states that he will be tried as a black man for all his crimes after the election. Sad.
That scans with the direction he's been going now screaming victim & martyr...inconceivably claiming an alliance with black "felons", while advancing supremacy genetics ... I can't wait until we lock this sick fuck up.
Absolutely. Fronting like a hard-ass. It's time he finds out.
😂😂😂”tried as a black man”! Good one
Fitting since jd grew up being a poor black child
Shit👇🏻Shinola🫴🏻. From the Steve Martin movie “The Jerk”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The voodoo conspiracy theory is more acceptable to MAGA than the obvious cause: his makeup is inconsistent. Occam's Razor is unknown to the cult.
I make my own. You can, too. Just go to the store and buy an orange and smash the F out of it with a hammer. But on second thought, no. Poor orange.
Putin has it and the needle.
You can buy tRump VooDoo dolls online.
"tarted-up rodeo clown." 😂😂😂 What's it gonna take for people to understand Dump IS the enemy within? And do they even understand what fascism REALLY is? Because if they did, surely they wouldn't wan to lose their freedoms?? I don't understand WTF is wrong with Americans. ☹️
Ditto Susan, educated people don’t act like bullies, even when promoted by candy coated clowns… who amongst us actually likes clowns anyway??
Absolutely true !
Uh, JD?
A lot is wrong with Americans.🥺☹️
It's CONSTANT PROJECTION with Trump.
The destruction of public education starts the direct path to where we are today. Itʻs all part of the plan. Homeschooling helps keep the population stupid.
Amerikkka has been dumbed down by television (the likes of Fox Propaganda, etc.), corporate controlled print media, the Christian Taliban and the GOP.
Yes... he's really been good at bringing out the very worst in some Americans. He's unleashed their desire to be mad...about anything. These people are despicable.
These people used to vote Republican but the GOP and its pundits kept a tight lid on them. Now they have crawled out from under their wet rocks and their worst impulses are out in broad daylight. I am just floored by how many of them there really are.
People filled to the brim with resentment. Resentment: the common denominator that ties all of his followers. Victims. Losers. Cry babies.
Resentment is a great word....I believe you are right.
Being originally from New England,and on this 'Indigenious People's Day',we are all aware that the Pilgrims and settlers brought their views of white supremacy and religious zealotry on the boats with them,and it still exists to this day.
Genealogy is SO interesting! I am positive my father's side of the family gave us the crazy gene. 😂😂
To think that all of this hate has been laying fallow. All it took was one deranged conman to come down a golden escalator with a money chasing soft-porn model to nurture it…water it…throw some shit on top to fertilize it and…VOILA! MAGATS!
Thats the truth! I think the Trump effect will be studied for years to come and why some Americans were so gullible to lap it up.
He’s fighting for a white-Christian fascist state with himself as king. That he’s batshit insane should be obvious even to his brain-dead cult, but I think Trumpism, not Trump, is the motivator now. The rancid bag of waste has become THEIR useful idiot. Maybe that’s why his would-be “assassins” are splinter-group MAGAts who feel he’s now just in the way of their glorious cause.
Except in this case, tRump is actually the TOOL of the GQP to get JD Vance into the presidency.
They will drop tRump the Idiot like a hot rock due to “medical concerns.” Vance is younger, has just as few scruples and would be more dangerous as POTUS.
Scruples? Where?
You’re right, Hannah…they are very small and impossible to see by the naked eye.
I grieve for my country.
You're not alone. I'm also embarrassed for us...
Same here...I'm sure the rest of world in watching America is horror.
Well, a lot of Canadians are watching, me included.
In my next life I'm going to be Canadian.
Not just Canadians. I know a distinguished German who feels the same.
French people from France feel the same way. 2 of my grandkids live in France, dual citizens, and when you mention trump they make a 🤮 gesture. Not a pretty gesture, you’ll agree, but it certainly describes how some of us feel. A lot of your allies know full well the wrath that he will bring to our nations if we don’t toe his line.
We used to be a decent place… but we still love you guys… excuse me, while I move my AR-15 over while i smooch ya!
Believe me they are! My ex lives in lstanbul and they’re openly mocking him and we get tossed in with TFG . Germany and France , too.
I speak to him twice a week .
Our allies are definitely horrified but even worse, they’re trying to figure out how to go forward without the US if that pos is elected. Trump wants to get us out of NATO which would have Putin laughing with glee at how his investment in him paid off so magnificently. My heart is breaking. I’m holding out hope that the polls are underestimating Harris/Walz support.
I agree with both of you, as I’ve felt the same way for the last nine years. But at my age, I can’t give up on the optimism I’ve always felt, that we are better than this. My hope is that we obliterate him at the polls in November. And we can all sit by and watch him go to court and EVENTUALLY jail!
From your lips to god's ear.
It is embarrassing...
I’d rather call him Shitfaced Donny instead of Blackface Donny. It always looks like someone rubbed shit on his face.
except for the part where 'shitfaced' means drunk, I'd agree with you
The Roar of the Shit Paint.
and ‘The Smell of the Crowd’ still works
Right??? 🤣
It's probably called 'Rudy Brown'...made in China.
From his soiled diaper to his ugly mug Songgirl!
So we are told.
According to Wisconsin Dems…our state is at a RAZOR THIN outcome right now. Negative ads are being shown continuously on Harris, Walz, Baldwin…I’m sick to my stomach that these fucking idiots are THISCLOSE to destroying democracy. Pray for a fucking landslide for Harris, et. al.
Harris needs to respond by flooding the airwaves with the plethora of negative press about her opponent! It's insanity...
That's what I've been harping on lately. Where are all the HE'S A 34 COUNT FELON - HE'S AN ADJUDICATED SEXUAL ASSAULTER - HE STOLE 1,000'S OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS - HE INTERFERED IN AN ELECTION - HE LIED ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION
She sure has plenty of ammo and I'm beginning to think there's a Trump supporter that does her ads. She needs to fight fight fight back!
Or play a supercut of his inability to even deliver his lines, combined with his Lecter/boat/shark references. Unfortunately, since he always wears the same suit and tie, it's hard to tell that there are a dozen different speeches like that.
Yazz Megan!!
Be of good heart! Ds are crushing it w early voting #s.
Though I heard from.my mail carrier friend in Milwaukee that there's a blizzard of propaganda from their side & a lot less from ours.
OTOH maybe H/W internals show Milwaukee as a lock so they don't need to spend. $ there?
OTOH Hillary took Wiscon for granted.
OTOH H/W has a billion dollars to spend...
I already voted, so excuse me while I induce a coma until Nov 6th.
Thom Hartmann said the oligarchs have $10B that they are going to start spending on Shitler's behalf. Prepare for the onslaught.
Let me sum up, the mail carriers better hold on. There are millions of Dem postcards waiting to be released in mid- to late October. Some are mine, I'm proud to say.
Kudos to you - very well done.
Nary a believer in little fairies in the sky Tess, but I hear you loud and clear, living a stone’s throw from Sconie and Iowa!!
What an asshole. Biden should respond by arresting these guys and sending the national guard. This story needs to be on MSM
Agreed. Why doesn't he do just that? TODAY?
You know- they pussy foot around, like Garland, and then the Militia will go into hiding.
Exactly what I just wrote!
The governor of NC is certainly worthless. No action, no order for the rabid rubes to stand down. Typical.
The governor of NC, Roy Cooper, is a Democrat and I'm quite sure he's all over this. He's been an excellent governor, hamstrung by a veto-proof state legislature.
It turns out that the threat was from a lone individual although WAPO had issued a report Sunday about truckloads of armed militia threatening to go "owl-shooting on FEMA workers." Associated Press: "Gov. Roy Cooper’s staff said in a statement Monday that his office was aware of “reports of threats to response workers on the ground,” as well as “significant misinformation online.” Cooper directed state law enforcement officials to work with local authorities to identify “the specific threats and rumors.”
The guy is in custody now
exactly where is the NC national guard?
Truer words, Ilene
GOD DAMN THEM ALL. Garland could've stopped this YEARS ago but nooooo that evil Republican had to stand down. Biden's worst mistake he ever made was hiring that worthless lump of coal.
Indeed.
And Biden has admitted as much. Says he regrets this appointment. I bet he does. We all do.
1. Lol, my son in law and I were commenting yesterday that Lord McFries was wearing blackface.
2. NC is now what’s known as a Category WTF tornado, a vicious cyclone of a disaster, people trying to help, armed goons interfering, the help not getting to those that need it, those that need it complaining there is no help.
Why not AT LEAST fine politicians who LIE outright? FINE THEM.
It seemed to upset them when Nancy put up the metal detectors leading to the House floor after J6 - and fined them for carrying…
Nothing in your post here, evokes a smile today Kay-EI the fuckery of the insipid, vapid wastrel has to end!!
I’m sure I’ll return to my regularly scheduled laughs tomorrow.
It's very difficult to laugh right now. I feel 'ya.
I’ll just hold my laughing breath until then Kay-EI!
The armed militia going after FEMA workers is one of the best reasons that Jesus changed his middle name to FUCKING. Jesus Christ on a fucking cracker. And all MSNBC can report on is how tight the race is. Over and over they just repeat that it's close "within the margin of error" and telling us where the 2 candidates are traveling to today. They claim Harris' popularity has dropped "5 points in new poll" and that she's "struggling to hold on to Latino vote".
I think I may need someone to talk me down from the ledge. I just want to scream!!
"His middle name to FUCKING"... 🤣🤣🤣 Thats brilliant. And I want to scream too.
MSM are squarely to blame for a lot of this clusterfuck. The Harris-Walz campaign has to fight back against them AND MAGA. WTF are they doing?
Harris is fighting back. She’s setting up her own press junkets, punching up where she can be heard. Howard Stern, Call Me Daddy (or whatever it is), Colbert, The View, and more. These are the places people live now. A lot of the voters she needs onboard, do not go for traditional MSM for their “news”. If they’d stop asking stupid questions and writing up lying or shaded answers, she might reconsider. Might.
For the last ten years I have been saying that when the autopsy is done on the Great American Experiment, the MSM will be found as the cause of death.
ABSOLUCKINGFUTELY.
Well, Tim Walz is sharing his recipes with us. I mean, he was in the military for over 20 years and taught/coached fucking high school students. Get that killer game face on, Tim!
💩💩💩I finally realized it— stories about polls in the MSM are nothing but click bait. They might as well have underage girls in bikinis waving the so-called poll results.🦨🦨🦨
As polls seem to indicate that former president Donald Trump has momentum in some swing states with 24 days remaining until the Nov. 5 presidential election, Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg says: Don’t buy it.
About a month ago, Rosenberg predicted that a slew of polls by Republican organizations would flood the zone, showing Trump leading — and, like clockwork, it has happened.
They lie about everything - including
“poll” results.
I SOOO hope you're right.
Let’s say Kamala ends up with 53% and he ends up with 47%. That’s a more than decent winning spread. But guess what, with a 3% margin of error statement to play with, it’s legit to hawk that he and she are close. That’s how I think they are doing it. That metric leaves lots of room for media to say “no, we weren’t exaggerating … it’s all within the 3% margin of error rule”.
Exactly Kathleen!
Drumpf is all but done. Too bad wingnut is there. I hope he can't be the nominee...
The news today in your article is chilling. Appreciate the humorous take but the fact is, we are really in trouble if FEMA workers are being threatened and the gqp is threatening another attack on the voting process and certifying the elections.
The whole evangelical movement is the most frightening of all as they spew out of each side of their mouths.
I don't believe the polls but I also don't trust the electoral process anymore (not that I ever did, but this is straight out alarming).
I appreciate you helping us substackers get through until this nightmare is over in a few weeks.
Ray and Bob’s Militia are going to act real different when governors call on their national guard services to stop that crap.
These insane, now everyday occurrences strain credulity, however I find myself still surprised at what these numbnuts get up to. I honestly can’t understand the mindset of somebody who thinks it’s not just ok, but their DUTY to threaten strangers with weapons.
No offense to those living in red states, but I am so grateful that I don’t have to. I would have been burned at the stake years ago.
Pretty sure that’s what the Kremlin-esque Tennessee legislature has on its agenda.
That color Spackle he uses is burnt umber. I suspect his dementia is getting worse because of the way he sees himself in the mirror. He doesn't see anything but his eyes, nose and mouth. I personally would like to color his face, especially his mouth with steel gray duct tape.
A ball-gag too.
At what point do LDFF’s sacred “1A Rights” cross the line into yelling “Fire!” in a theater? WHEN? What about the restuvus??? Sick of the threats - direct and implied.
