I happened to love the game. I love a man who loved the game BUT neither of us were cheaters like the orange asshole nor were we the president who spent every 3.5 days on the course instead of doing his fucking job AND charging the Secret Service for having to rent spaces to stay in his bug and roach-infested “resorts”. It’s not the game it’s the weird ones who play it.
It had a lot of merit, turning all the golf courses, into housing for the homeless, was a humanitarian idea. They waste so much water, and all the pesticides, and fertilizer runoffs cause massive algae blooms. It is a real big problem here in Florida.
The land, many times is located where its flood plain or where it won’t park for septic, if needed. Water is usually pumped from the water hazards on the course or from rivers and streams that are adjacent to the course. This, of course either evaporates or drains back into source. Courses that don’t make it financially are usually sold for development if possible but keep in mind, that can lead to a whole different set of problems; high density living, paved over and built over grass leading to more traffic. Also, just because the land becomes available, it doesn’t necessarily translate into “affordable” housing. I’m from the mountains and building anything there is a more expensive proposition than in the flatlands.
Hating the game doesn’t make things right with the world. It teaches patience and mental toughness. The game of golf that many presidents have enjoyed is one of honesty. It’s you against the course. If you cheat, you’re only cheating yourself. Good golfers tell on themselves and accept the penalty. As soon as it was known that trump cheated at golf, it should have told everyone what kind of a person he was.
OMG!!! Can I move in?!? Or set up a shed? We used to have deer who would bed down in the back of our forested lots. Bucks too. Loved mom hiding her fauns in a shaded large bed of tall Shasta Daisies over the years and come for buckets of water neighbors would put out daily for them. 💖
Golf courses are notorious ecological disasters- unnatural green lawns eating up tons of fertilizers- billions of gallons of water keeping them green; using thousands of acres of prime real estate for a white mans game.
Tell that to Tiger Woods who started out on his dad’s military courses or Lee Elder who began as a caddy. There are many fine municipal courses where the snobs won’t hang out but where ordinary people who enjoy the game can play at a reasonable cost. They do use fertilizers maybe once a year but no pesticides as they would adversely affect everything and everyone using the facility. Feel how you must about a game you may not know much about or have had a bad experience with but it’s not necessary to denigrate a place of recreation for many either rich or poor. Believe me, one doesn’t have to be rich to be a snot, a snob or a jackass on the course.
That’s how My drunken grand pa taught me the game ! He’d whack me a good one with a 9 iron if I dared call it a sport ! Said it was a game for the ones who never got picked for the team in street hockey or stickball as kids ! 🤫🫢🤣😂
"The Scots say: here's an idea for a game, knock a ball into a gopher hole! And you say, like pool then? And they say, feck pool, in pool you use a straight stick, we'll make you use a crooked fecked-up stick. Like croquet then? Feck croquet, they put the target a few feet away, we'll put it yards away. Like lawn bowling then? Feck bowling, we mean hundreds of yards away, and we'll put a little flag there to give you hope, but there are ponds and sand pits in the way, and you'll be stuck in the sand, flailing away with a tire iron until you have a stroke-- that's what we'll call them, strokes. But when you get the ball in the hole you're done? Feck no, we'll make you do it eighteen times!" -- Robin Williams
I knew I liked you! My favorite scene in the Sopranos, was when Furio the bodyguard threw the doctor's clubs in the lake snorting"Stupid, fucking game!"
I know how you feel. I don’t particularly like the country club culture, and I can’t stand the waste of water and the fertilizer chemicals being introduced into the environment. I hate all of the above, really. But other than that, it’s a harmless game and it does get people outside.
Except it gets mostly the wrong people outside. If you want to see an environment destroyed, go look at all the "English" (i.e., very green) golf courses around the desert city of Palm Springs - the epitome of everything you don't like about golf.
Oops, I live in Palm Springs. It's a pretty nice place but, yes too many golf courses. Some "native" Americans are buying up courses and returning them to nature. I say Bravo!
That's good, because they are losing money here, they have built too many of them, at least 10 on my GPS at any given time, and Millennials (bless them) don't much play.
Oh, worse than that. Actual desert locations in southern Utah and other parched landscapes where these obscene monoculture bluegrass acres sprout up, surrounded by expensive real estate. More phony ass crap in America, with plenty of people in on the hustle.
I'm a terrible golfer but I played on a sheep pasture in Scotland with actual sheep and made my first and only birdie because my ball bounced off a sheep. I guess it was a sheepie then.
Golf originated in Scotland and what are called sand traps here started out as holes the sheep cowered in to keep from being blown off the Earth in a 100 mile an hour gale.
Just completed another round of “Golfing with MAGAS”… had a great round today, took all the $$ today, despite the gutter sniping from MAGA… As Jacki Gleason used to say.. “how sweet it is”..
Did anyone hear about Jesse Watterʻs fantasy about Harris being raped by generals in the situation room? Thereʻs another sicko. Yikes. And heʻs still on Fox.
Whoa, that's disgusting-and our society has fallen so far that he remains employed?!?! Wtf? I hate fox news-they are responsible for this horrible decline in norms and civility.
He said he misspoke (or something else as weak as that, anyway) and he didn't mean what it sounded like, so of course it's no big deal. Not the excuse he thought it was -- whether he meant to say it or if it just bubbled up out of the rankness he calls a subconscious, it's pretty fucking disgusting.
He's a weirdo, stalker dude, so I'm not surprised. He punctured the tires of a woman who wouldn't date him (Probably because he was married at the time) so he could give her a ride home (also probably to find out where she lived).
That little prick is a closet something or other that nobody else has ever been outed for …..the world is a safer place if he stays in that closet forever! Fucken punk ass lunatic freak ……hide the pets it’s an animal 🦔 thing more than likely 🐀😱🐑🐖🦃 baaahhh!
I have never seen anyone more scared of anything than Republicans are of trans people. It would be laughable if their fear did not manifest as hatred and violence.
I'm fascinated that Republicans think everything is their business. IN NO WAY do any gay or trans people affect the life of a Republican. They need to leave other people alone and mind their own business.
Ah, but in the irrational christofascist view, LGBTQIA+ people *do* affect them, because Others challenge the c.f. view of the world, in which there are only two genders. c.f. want a return to a world in which only *one* gender rules the home, the country, and the world. (And not just one gender -- the mens -- but the white part of that gender.)
Power and control are the objectives. We always have to ask ourselves, when hearing or reading about some far-right lunatic's viewpoint or policy, "What is the power / control aspect of this?" *Then* their goals make sense, so to speak (= make sense within their framework).
Agreed. Always follow the money and/or power when some reason doesn't make sense. I adopted this mindset at work. Whenever I hear of some new brainiac decision from admin, my first thought is follow the money (usually the case) or who benefits from this. It actually gives me some peace since i have no say about my job. I no longer rack my brain as to why we're told to do stupid stuff. The why is usually money.
Dee: A different step is: What is the personal payoff for them to advocate for whatever? That takes you to need to control, which is based on a sense of inferiority.
how could you tell? lol... if Black Tuesday comes, I'm gonna dig myself a hole. No clue if my soul will ever be satisfied again if the orange guy wins, but at least I know who Aretha Franklin was... :)
My Mom didn't have credit card,her name wasn't on the checking account,Dad had to a sign a check for groceries and things,Mom worked full-time and ran the house,but she got an allowance from Dad,Mom,my brother and I were basically servants for Dad,when my parents separated, Dad's was the only name on the deed to our house,and he announced,to be 'compassionate',we had a month to get out of 'his' house,I played Little League with a friend was a lawyer,and we stopped that nonsense. I'm perfectly familiar with the time Republicans want to go back too.
Exactly this. Also they say transgender are fantasy dwellers unable to accept facts and making them pretend, when the reverse is true.
The christo-fascists can’t imagine or cope with anything more complex than the most simple, aimed at toddlers level of science or nuance. They can only mentally cope with their being only two sexes and two genders (they think these things are the same anyway) , their worldview is too fragile to imagine anything except themselves. Therefore anything that isn’t exactly like them is a threat and they hate them irrationally. They sexualise the other , they fantasise about them, they imagine all sorts of horrific things that they (the conservatives) want to do or are doing and project them on to the other, (look at child abuse) , the dehumanise them. Then they make transgender and intersex people pretend to be what they are not , just because these fragile snowflakes can’t accept reality. It’s projection at its finest, they did it to POC ,Jewish and LGB and immigrants exactly the same way in the past.
It is a mental disorder, they need help , but those in power find them too easy to use to gain more wealth and power, so they keep enabling the worst aspects of them.
I agree. Being trans, gay,black,brown,female or any number of things Republicans rail against ad infinitum has zero affect on the quality of their hateful, nosey lives. imhfo.
They can't though, they are narcissists who think they get a say in everything! The less qualified they are about something, the more they want to make rules about it.
Repugs are scared of everything. In my opinion due to lack of exposure and knowledge of the world. Must live in complete isolation. Hard to even imagine. They have missed living.
I sat next to a guy from NYC on the plane to NY on Thursday. Affable, starting talking to me and out of the blue (we were talking about vscations) he tells me that unions are the backbone of this country and Trump is all about the unions. The way he said it I thought he was joking so I started laughing and asked him are you a Trump supporter? He said yes and he was serious. I said I thought you were joking because the UAW hates Trump among other unions. He didn't know what to say. He lives in Brooklyn, family background is Italian and he's a maritime worker. Some relatives live in Staten Island (GOP territory). His wife won't fly or cruise. She was taking the train from Vegas to NY. Who does that? She's diabetic and refused the vaccine. I think he represents many of the typical Trump supporters. White, not college educated in blue collar jobs. He was a pleasant guy to talk to, but not the sharpest tool in the box. A bubble person. Surrounded by other MAGA family members who watch Fox. I'm not in a union and don't have a blue collar job. My children don't either so I have no insider knowledge of unions. But I knew about the UAW at least and he was clueless, yet thinks unions love Trump.
Deborah, your friend on that flight (and his clueless wife) are EXACTLY why LDFF says he “loves the poorly educated” - they are putty in his tiny little hands!!! ✋
My father complained bitterly & often about having to join the Teamsters Union mid 1960's to drive a semi. He vehemently hated paying dues. I remember our family being able to visit the dentist no charge. A GOP guy. But over the years, it's clear to see that income inequality and top 1 percenters could care less about employees without unions' insistence on wages, health care, benefits.
The problem is, they have no idea how much they actually DON’T know - and that makes them even more dangerous. Trust me, I come from a family of staunch Republicans, and that’s just how they roll. If it’s not on Fox Entertainment, it’s not true, they think!
Yes, textbook Dunning-Kruger. You do have to have a certain level of intelligence to realize it takes much time and dedication to a subject, to truly become an expert. Therefore one can never be an expert in all things.
They've missed a lot and are stuck on that road of delusion and fear. Too bad the message of the felonious perpetrator is way out in the outer limits of his demented fantasy world and the MAGAs eat this shit up like it's a free hanberders giveaway. You'd like to think that his latest rant about going to school and coming home three days later with a sex change operation should be a help with more undecided voters.
Terri: you nailed it. Fear of total ignorance. It isn’t more complicated than that. These people are terrified of whatever Dear Leader or their fire and brimstone, snake handling pastors tell them. No need to think or see anything that can be validated. Everything is accepted on faith. Blind unquestioning faith
It’s just the latest fear/distraction button… I wish D’s would just clap back with: “Yes, and they represent .015% of the population… but take care of that pls”… (might have to wait for AOC/Crockett to get higher up)? Yeesh
I think it's also bc the idea that gender and sexuality are fluid contradicts the far-right christian nationalist view of the world, where there are two genders and each has a firmly defined role.
They want a return to the shttty old days when men -- white men -- ruled the country (and preferably the world) and rules the women in their lives. Women would have no financial resources (because instead of working outside the home, they'd raise children and run the household) *and* women would be not only dependent on them but subservient to them -- no more no-fault divorce!
I bet the P2025 group are eyeing, with intrigued curiosity, the taliban's latest assault on women (no talking in public), wondering just how far murka's christofascists could go.
I always figure American christofascists won't do burkas. First, can you imagine Greg Abbott saying the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have to cover up? And as a very funny Alexandra Petri column satirized, JD Vance needs to know who the fertile women are: in burkas, you can't tell the teenagers from a (horrors) post-menopausal woman. And if women covered themselves up, how could you blame them for getting raped?
shee-rah:In my growing-up years in Turkey, there was no burka, veil, or hijab, except for village women who would wear a scarf to cover their hair. Once the idiot president started to use the tool of religion, and women started to wear the hijab, a whole new fashion industry sprouted up, with its own catwalk shows even!! Real scam, because last year when I was there, I saw women all covered up but with 5 tons of makeup!!
Maga & Evangelicals remind me that Copernicus barely escaped being burned at the stake for announcing the Earth revolves around the Sun. Religion fanatics freaked out, as it somehow went against their religious beliefs.
The Bullshit fantasy scenario of taking kids out of school and ‘turning them trans’ is about as bizarro idiotic as the orange monster’s claim that there is abortion at nine months. What the fuck is he saying? A baby is born and then murdered and no one notices? WTF does anyone let him make that statement and never question it? Have journalists given up on any actual questioning and everything with MAGA is just a big free for all forum of outlandish lies? I’m sick to death of it all.
BTW ,anybody catch Jesse Watters' violent sexual assault threat he made against Kamala Harris ? While also besmirching our Generals. People are calling for him to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY.
Sadly their fear and hate has been imported wholesale to the UK too with Labour being very transphobic to pander to the loud minority the press tells them represent their voters. Getting TERF queen herself Joanne to advise on Trans Genocide (sorry “care”) backing the misleading and deliberately damaging Cass report written by a transphobe bigot and ignoring large amounts of medical evidence) , the block on puberty blockers has already caused children to commit suicide. They opened 7 new conversion centres, are cancilling surgeries for no clear reason and now doing an adult report. Oh and banning transgender people from existing as far as education is concerned, denying them medical care (saying they can only stay on mixed wards when mixed wards are meant to be illegal in the UK (they aren’t all gone though because of underfunding) , also being denied access to basic rights like somewhere to go to the toilet.
No they aren’t afraid, they hate, they want to erase. They are using the same tactics the racists did to POC .
People are suffering and dying just so these people can get more power.
It’s an attack on all LGBTQI people. They are separating trans people deliberately from their natural allies. It’s misogyny, it will spill over to cisgender women who don’t conform and that was always the plan.
Sadly it looks like they are winning.
They fear other people treating them like they want to treat others. They fear not being 100% powerful and unable to abuse and subjugate everyone else. They fear that their cruelty will be taken away from them. They are same people from 50 , 100 , 200 years ago, they never change and are always waiting for the chance to make the world a darker and nastier place.
I wondered about their hands when I first saw that picture. I even commented on it in a post. I find the families more disgusting than he is. If those are even the real families. I can't imagine in a million years acting like that at a family member's grave.
Two separate hands on two separate women to the right of TFG look off to me. Could this be a fake? Am I not seeing them correctly? And then the woman in the pic’s far left. What is the sign she’s making? Is it the horns that a person might flash at a concert or Texas college football game?
Which young woman, and which gesture? The one in the navy cardigan is making the "devil's horn" gesture, but I can't find any indication that it shows support for white power. ??? Thanks.
Exactly, the devil horns sign 🤘 is what one does while headbanging at a thrash metal concert. So, even graveside. A white power gesture, totally inappropriate at a gravesite.
I think those two grinning tattooed blondes are making ‘love you rock n roll’ gestures. Hardly the actions of truly grieving family members over the grave of a dead relative.
Ingrid, you and me and a the rest of sane America!
I’m soooo incredibly pissed off I can barely sit still.
The fact that our veterans were subjected to this disgusting debacle of disrespect. Our veterans resting place being defiled by a traitorous toad. Accompanied by his zombie cult followers with their hate and ignorance heaped upon the graves of our servicemen.
The ANC representative who was shoved aside by one of Trump’s goons trying to prevent crime from being committed on sacred grounds has refused to press charges does not in any way justify Trump not being charged.
And the family aspect about inviting Biden and Harris? That didn’t show up until Trump got dumped on.
I’ve just run out of energy to even try to make this make any kind of sense. What must the rest of the world be thinking about us when the headlines read like the national inquirer daily?
The fact that they used the relatives death, as an excuse to wallow in the effluent, with a disgusting Jabba the hut impersonator, tells you everything you neeed to know about them. Well, that and the tattoed arm woman making the white supremacy sign.
Omg, as if anyone keeps their employment records from all their jobs as a teenager. I didn't keep records of working at Huddle House or Pizza Hut, for example, or any of the restaurant jobs I worked at. How incredible, when democracy is on the line, that this is what the press is chasing after!
I got my first college degree in 1971. NEVER put on a resume that I worked as a waitress in college. I think that would have looked stupid unless I was in a supervisory role as an adult. The GOP obsession with worthless crap is eye watering.
As someone who worked for a large contract engineering firm many decades ago, when we rewrote resumes for presentation to a potential client, only the relevant experience from the last ten years of the potential employee was left on the resume, unless they had worked in the same field for longer than that. The fact that the MSM is zealously pursuing this tiny, obscure detail in Kamala’s background just shows you how desperate they are. It’s really laughable - kind of like they’re on a snipe hunt. Who actually cares???
The GOP is just looking for something that will stick. You just know someone is looking at all of Kamala's prosecutions for one she lost (See? Soft on Crime!) or a disgruntled student who didn't like the grade Walz (or his wife) gave them ten years ago that meant (so they say) they had to go to a state school instead of Dartmouth.
I worked babysitting starting at age 12, slinging burgers and ice cream at a little drive-in that disappeared years ago, waited tables at various restaurants in New Mexico, Kansas and Texas, worked in the dish room of my college dormitory cafeteria (with Mr. Hobart). Never put any such thing on my post college resume. And couldn't prove it I had to. Which apparently I would be asked to if I had the temerity to run for political office while female. Corporate journalism is not journalism. It's a tool for protecting the oligarchy from tax increases so they can become even more obscenely wealthy. Greed kills.
The nice thing about teenage part time jobs is that you can make all your rookie mistakes and learn a bunch of stuff before you get to the real career jobs. It still doesn't mean they go on your adult CV or that you want a prospective employer inquiring into the bonehead mistake you made when you were 17. And putting them on an adult resume makes it look like you might not have much going for you and have to pad your experience.
After the S&S job I graduated from college and started working at a school where I’ve been enjoying my job for the past 42 years. Retirement is on the not-too-distant future horizon. TBH, I love my colleagues, but I’m now the employee with the longest tenure, and some of my closest friends were born the year I started.
YES. I'm about 3 yrs older than KH, and I have no pics of myself from my grunt-work jobs (why would I?), no pay stubs, no tax returns from 1978-1984. None of my friends would remember where I worked part-time during those years, just as I don't remember where they worked part-time FORTY FKKKING YEARS AGO IN NON-CAREER-PATH JOBS.
All of this is deeply offensive, deeply stupid, and a SHAMEFUL waste of press time.
It's pretty evident to me that the people yelling about Kamala’s resume are clueless about the info to include on a resume. In today's world, a resume needs only to list relevant jobs of the past 10 years to one's profession. I would think the yahoos screaming about not listing McD’s have never had to write a resume. Maybe even fill out a job application.
The outrage was stirred by a right-wing "news outlet" that found her application (not a rez) for a law-related position. That said, the advice for applications (more common back them) and for rez has long been the same: Include only the workplaces where your tasks were relevant for the job you're applying for
Which, D-UH, is why she didn't put McD on that application. This is all so spectacularly stupid and a huge waste of time.
I worked at a bank in the early 70's after I graduated college. I went back to school for nursing and graduated in 1980. I never put those bank jobs on a resume for a nursing job. No one cared what I had done before I became a nurse.
The application only had three slots for prior employment. She wasted two of them on mentioning law-clerk jobs as if that mattered more than her McD job!
I think if you were applying for a skilled job and you weren't 18, you'd look stupid if you put your high school/college jobs on there unless they were relevant to the job you are seeking now.
And, of course, if applicants put their teenage jobs on their resume, I'd never hire them. No critical thinking skills nor ability to sort the unnecessary from the pertinent!
Ya'll, this isn't about record keeping, or where she worked, or even whether or not she even worked there.
It's about the same old double standard with Trumplican news. And by that I mean ALL the corporate media.
donOLD lies his ass off, and crickets. VP Harris talks about a job she had as a teen, and it's "We have to hunt this down!! Because, if she'll lie about that, well....WHAT ELSE IS SHE LYING ABOUT?!?!
Actually, she probably worked for a franchisee, not the Big Ronald, and who knows if the franchise is still around or got absorbed by a bigger franchisee. But yeah, 40-year-old records of a part-time employee would not be saved for history.
Like schools are operating a multi bed PACU and full scale OR with actual medical staff when they barely allow a school nurse and the nurse can’t even administer Tylenol unless it was provided by the parent and a call to them to verify it’s okay.
Searching for a winning message eh? Back in my day they called that throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks -- more accurate when it comes to trump I'd say. It’s all bs, the polls are as real as trumps hair and Kamala isn’t taking the bait. Happy Labor Day fellow JT fans. ❤️
How the fuck does he think the school does this? Do they have a bus and drag the kids to the hospital in it? Who gives consent for the kids to have the surgery? Do the Drs play rock, paper, scissors to see who does the procedure? Does the school or the parents pay for it? Do they also make them read all of the banned books before they can go home? Do the parents file missing children reports? The police must be working a lot of overtime. He is the biggest, nastiest POS I have ever seen in my life. We need to make it very clear to him how much we despise him. Vote Blue all the way 💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
He lies with so much conviction, not to mention abundance, that it's hard to discern what he actually believes and what he says only for his advantage. His whole life can be summed up that way.
He does not "believe" things the way ordinary people do: that would require a sense that there is a difference between truth and falsity. To him, there is only a sense of what is helpful to attract attention and approval to himself. He will say whatever is convenient in the moment, without any concern about inconsistency with what was convenient to say just a short time ago.
And I thought all the kids were being aborted when they were 2-6 months old. /s
When teachers have to ask for charitable contributions to have crayons and disinfecting wipes in their classrooms, I doubt the school is funding many gender reassignment surgeries.
Thank God most MOMS are nice like the moms on this list! 😊
So sick of the ignorant media. We need to call them out everytime. We have a trans son-transitioned in his 20’s…all on his own…had nothing to do with school. As a retired educator, people who believe that shit about schools making kids trans should be in a mental institution as educators have enough to do teaching kids how to READ critically! (amongst other things…obvi!) Whew!
In June, which is Pride Month, a woman who is part of the Moms hate group filmed herself confronting some drag performers minding their own business in a hotel lobby in Honolulu. The local TV station did the "both sides-ism" and interviewed her. I called them and protested giving her a platform and the asshole at the station said, we interviewed the performer and read a statement from the governor's office condemning her behavior. He refuted my point that her hateful behavior is a helluva lot different than the other parties involved. Damn idiots in media.
Thanks JT! I wonder which brave soul(s) might actually do a deep dive on the corporate media’s complicity in all this, if at all. One could argue that the news-entertainment complex got him elected in the first place.
The corporate media, which is "circling the bowl" in relevancy in this world of streaming, have lost 50% of their eyeballs/readers since 2020. The owners of the Corporate media (ABC, owned by Disney; CBS, owned by Paramount; NBC, owned by Universal; CNN, owned by Warner Bros-Discovery) want to get rid of them. To sell them, they must be "profitable" again. They all remember what Jeff Zucker the Fucker said in 2016 when he was criticized for having CNN cover Trump's hatelongs live without commercials: "Donald Trump brings high ratings!"
1. Some commenter on a different article claimed 50% of the country will vote for Trump and we should investigate why more before we write them off. I’m not sure what planet they live on, but this has been done ad nauseum and they’ve shown us who they are, both educated shitheels and ignorant boobs.
2. Moms for Liberty is anything but. I guess the moniker Moms for Subjugation was already taken. 🙄
Just remember your views are never, ever legitimate as a coastal elite. Nor are mine apparently though no one every talks about us Midwestern elites. Maybe it's bc of all the flannel?
The whole point of right-wing astroturfing is to adopt a name that sounds positive, when the goal is to create a situation which is the opposite. Like "Freedom Caucus" or "Make America Great Again." An Orwellian name like "Moms for Liberty" to prevent teachers from teaching and kids from reading is right in step with this.
Besides the fact that who in the WORLD goes to a cemetery and does a thumbs up over a grave (unless, of course, you killed them), what I still want to know is why the two blondes in the front row were doing the "sign of the horns" to ward off the evil eye? Where they trying to keep DJT's fumes away from them, or were they worried about a pissed off resurrection? And why hasn't anyone noticed THAT?
How sad and painful for the family especially now to have that all over the media. I hope they sue the s*** out of Trump and the other families there. And MAGA makes such a huge deal that someone kneels during our anthem, yet looks totally the other way about this.
FYI, I can't find anything online to substantiate Pope Buck's claim that *any* family of anyone buried in ANC is suing anyone else (ANC itself, the djt campaign, the family that invited djt).
Folks, let's be better than MAGAts -- let's fact-check before we post! Thanks.
Oh, dear. That is so damn sad. Then he has to have the shitstain standing on his grave. I hope all the families shown in the pictures sue, and sue and sue. And prevail.
It has been mentioned. Some people report it as a White Power symbol but I wouldn't know. I took it to be the American Sign Language sign for bullshit.
I don’t think it is. The white power sign is a combination of thumb and index finger circled to form an O combined with the other three fingers standing up to make a capital W. I think they are simply ‘rocking n rolling’ over the Fallen’s graves. Whatever the truth, it is disgusting behaviour.
Can you provide a citation? I just googled that devil's horn symbol, and I found nothing linking it to white power. (I want to be sure that I don't inadvertently make it benignly yet offend others.) Thanks.
If you look at the picture, that is how those of us who went to UT signal each other. It's a way of saying "Hook 'em Horns" (the U's nickname is the Longhorns). You're also supposed to wiggle your hand like a bull does his head. It's silly I know, but.....
Again though, I have no idea if that's what she was trying to signal or not. And even so, it's STILL highly inappropriate given the context and place.
I don't care where she worked as a high schooler, or college? A couple of the places I worked for don't even exist anymore because the owner retired, records destroyed, etc. I don't care what race she is. what color her skin is (ok, not orange), or that she's a female. What is important is how well she will do the job we are electing her to do.
I don't of course, know how McD's keeps their records, but at longest, 10 years is generous. Considering how many employees they rotate each year and have for decades... plus during the 80's and even 90's computer storage was expensive-
Is it possible IRS holds records that long, keeping W-4's? It seems unlikely.
We get your point, but as a matter of pedantry, Walmart doesn't sell guns. They stopped several years ago. Gun nuts everywhere called for a boycott before realizing that Walmart was often the only store in town beyond Dollar General in more than a few rural places.
"your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. the school decides what’s going to happen with your child". JFC! I again say: Why is this race even close? If these cult members could really hear the lunacy that comes out of Dumps mouth....
I got into it (I engaged this dumb ass for the pure sport of it) with some poor schmuck on Facebook who was convinced that Kamala was paying the bail for illegals in jail and that I was a "Dumocrat" and Harris laughed like a "hyenna". I finally said, "Fred, your spelling is so poor, I cant understand what you're trying to say". He stopped there. And these people walk among us. 🙄
Lol, I make fun of twits who use Demoncrat as an insult. Like I’m standing over my cauldron casting spells, or lighting candles on the pentagram I painted on my kitchen floor. Oooops! I think I said too much. 🙄
IKR, operations at school. We keep saying this among our community: how in the actual fuck does anyone, anyone who is not clinically insane believe any of these wild, baseless bullshit?
Whenever I do that, after I've had enough, I say, "dude, I can't make any sense of what you're saying, so how about go out and learn English as a first language, then get back to me."
With respect, that can't be their goal -- they know that djt would shut them down or sue them out of existence. I don't know why their coverage is often as bad as it is, but they aren't trying to re-elect djt.
Also, the NYT has already printed two significant anti-djt-for-2024 pieces; I'm not suggesting that these make up for their many misdeeds, but they aren't in the bag for djt. I can find only one right now; gift link is below.
Respectfully, everything they write is one-sided, Dumpty gets a pass and first Biden then Harris are drug through broken glass on every. fucking. thing.
Why would LDFF sue anyone who helps him avoid prison?
@Logically_JC
I like how Kamala Harris won’t golf during a crisis.
LOL, I like presidents that don't golf. Or rape people.
I like anybody who doesn't fucking golf. I hate that damn game.
I happened to love the game. I love a man who loved the game BUT neither of us were cheaters like the orange asshole nor were we the president who spent every 3.5 days on the course instead of doing his fucking job AND charging the Secret Service for having to rent spaces to stay in his bug and roach-infested “resorts”. It’s not the game it’s the weird ones who play it.
I agree with whoever* said it was "a good walk, spoiled."
*often attributed to Mark Twain, but its origin is murky with several possible sources.
Check out what George Carlin said about golf, he was not a fan, to say the least
It had a lot of merit, turning all the golf courses, into housing for the homeless, was a humanitarian idea. They waste so much water, and all the pesticides, and fertilizer runoffs cause massive algae blooms. It is a real big problem here in Florida.
And the sheer waste of land for some rich fucks.
The land, many times is located where its flood plain or where it won’t park for septic, if needed. Water is usually pumped from the water hazards on the course or from rivers and streams that are adjacent to the course. This, of course either evaporates or drains back into source. Courses that don’t make it financially are usually sold for development if possible but keep in mind, that can lead to a whole different set of problems; high density living, paved over and built over grass leading to more traffic. Also, just because the land becomes available, it doesn’t necessarily translate into “affordable” housing. I’m from the mountains and building anything there is a more expensive proposition than in the flatlands.
Hating the game doesn’t make things right with the world. It teaches patience and mental toughness. The game of golf that many presidents have enjoyed is one of honesty. It’s you against the course. If you cheat, you’re only cheating yourself. Good golfers tell on themselves and accept the penalty. As soon as it was known that trump cheated at golf, it should have told everyone what kind of a person he was.
"It's like watching flies fuck."
I like Robin Williams's explanation of the game, too, but Carlin made some fine points... :)
Welp that leaves ‘Yogi Berra’ I guess…😁?!
Turn golf courses into space for housing, I say.
Or wildlife refuges.
OMG!!! Can I move in?!? Or set up a shed? We used to have deer who would bed down in the back of our forested lots. Bucks too. Loved mom hiding her fauns in a shaded large bed of tall Shasta Daisies over the years and come for buckets of water neighbors would put out daily for them. 💖
Sounds wonderful, Lisa😍
that sounds great...
Golf courses are notorious ecological disasters- unnatural green lawns eating up tons of fertilizers- billions of gallons of water keeping them green; using thousands of acres of prime real estate for a white mans game.
George Carlin said it best during one of his legendary shows,
"Golf is a racist elitist sport".
100%!
107%!
Tell that to Tiger Woods who started out on his dad’s military courses or Lee Elder who began as a caddy. There are many fine municipal courses where the snobs won’t hang out but where ordinary people who enjoy the game can play at a reasonable cost. They do use fertilizers maybe once a year but no pesticides as they would adversely affect everything and everyone using the facility. Feel how you must about a game you may not know much about or have had a bad experience with but it’s not necessary to denigrate a place of recreation for many either rich or poor. Believe me, one doesn’t have to be rich to be a snot, a snob or a jackass on the course.
Same can be said along the ecological line about turf grass lawns.
🎯🎯🎯
Turn Mar-a-Lago into a national cemetery.
As I recall, cemeteries were on George Carlin's list to turn into low-cost housing, right after golf courses lol
Excellent suggestion! That is what you do historically, to punish racist traitors!
We would have to demolish & fumigate first. Demolish to ashes.
They consume obscene amounts of water
😂😂😂 At first I thought you were talking about the elks & deer! Yes on the big draw on precious water supplies.
Golf courses in the desert are a travesty. Even my golf loving father agrees with that.
or cat colonies
Or parks.
Cemetaries! Combine 'em.
Hey come on, you haven’t lived unless you play golf with MAGAS and smile as u take their $$$😉
Golf is all about looking for your balls or working on your strokes...
Golf to me was how much beer and weed you could consume before you drove a cart into something, hopefully not a pond.
That’s how My drunken grand pa taught me the game ! He’d whack me a good one with a 9 iron if I dared call it a sport ! Said it was a game for the ones who never got picked for the team in street hockey or stickball as kids ! 🤫🫢🤣😂
Mark Twain about Golf: “A good walk spoiled.”
Golf is an arrogant, elitist game that takes up entirety too much space in this country - George Carlin
"The Scots say: here's an idea for a game, knock a ball into a gopher hole! And you say, like pool then? And they say, feck pool, in pool you use a straight stick, we'll make you use a crooked fecked-up stick. Like croquet then? Feck croquet, they put the target a few feet away, we'll put it yards away. Like lawn bowling then? Feck bowling, we mean hundreds of yards away, and we'll put a little flag there to give you hope, but there are ponds and sand pits in the way, and you'll be stuck in the sand, flailing away with a tire iron until you have a stroke-- that's what we'll call them, strokes. But when you get the ball in the hole you're done? Feck no, we'll make you do it eighteen times!" -- Robin Williams
I surely miss the comic genius of George Carlin and Robin Williams. They would be having a field day with LDFF and his minions…
I had an artist friend who thought that Opera also took too many $$$ resources - for too few to enjoy @too high a cost…
I knew I liked you! My favorite scene in the Sopranos, was when Furio the bodyguard threw the doctor's clubs in the lake snorting"Stupid, fucking game!"
Same. An environmental disaster AND a complete waste of time.
And expensive as a MLB. baseball game.
I know how you feel. I don’t particularly like the country club culture, and I can’t stand the waste of water and the fertilizer chemicals being introduced into the environment. I hate all of the above, really. But other than that, it’s a harmless game and it does get people outside.
Except it gets mostly the wrong people outside. If you want to see an environment destroyed, go look at all the "English" (i.e., very green) golf courses around the desert city of Palm Springs - the epitome of everything you don't like about golf.
Oops, I live in Palm Springs. It's a pretty nice place but, yes too many golf courses. Some "native" Americans are buying up courses and returning them to nature. I say Bravo!
Good for them!
That's good, because they are losing money here, they have built too many of them, at least 10 on my GPS at any given time, and Millennials (bless them) don't much play.
Oh, worse than that. Actual desert locations in southern Utah and other parched landscapes where these obscene monoculture bluegrass acres sprout up, surrounded by expensive real estate. More phony ass crap in America, with plenty of people in on the hustle.
And we are not far from a BIG water crisis in the SW states.
I'm a terrible golfer but I played on a sheep pasture in Scotland with actual sheep and made my first and only birdie because my ball bounced off a sheep. I guess it was a sheepie then.
Golf originated in Scotland and what are called sand traps here started out as holes the sheep cowered in to keep from being blown off the Earth in a 100 mile an hour gale.
Golf courses are probably the biggest waste of land per user of anything in the world. Cemetaries, too.
But I have the solution:
I want golf courses and cemeteries to be combined so that the members of the golf club can be buried on the links.
When a golfer dies during a game, they could just change the theme of the event.
Yeah, now owned by the Saudis.
I tried it once and kept stepping in goose poop. Must've been the off-season.
TC...😅🤣😂....me too.
I do, too. 100%.
Just completed another round of “Golfing with MAGAS”… had a great round today, took all the $$ today, despite the gutter sniping from MAGA… As Jacki Gleason used to say.. “how sweet it is”..
🤣😂
Did anyone hear about Jesse Watterʻs fantasy about Harris being raped by generals in the situation room? Thereʻs another sicko. Yikes. And heʻs still on Fox.
Whoa, that's disgusting-and our society has fallen so far that he remains employed?!?! Wtf? I hate fox news-they are responsible for this horrible decline in norms and civility.
He said he misspoke (or something else as weak as that, anyway) and he didn't mean what it sounded like, so of course it's no big deal. Not the excuse he thought it was -- whether he meant to say it or if it just bubbled up out of the rankness he calls a subconscious, it's pretty fucking disgusting.
He's a weirdo, stalker dude, so I'm not surprised. He punctured the tires of a woman who wouldn't date him (Probably because he was married at the time) so he could give her a ride home (also probably to find out where she lived).
oddly enough, this doesn't really surprise me
What - what cretin would say that?
fucking - shove a dildo up his ass
That little prick is a closet something or other that nobody else has ever been outed for …..the world is a safer place if he stays in that closet forever! Fucken punk ass lunatic freak ……hide the pets it’s an animal 🦔 thing more than likely 🐀😱🐑🐖🦃 baaahhh!
Oof - that has embroidery-on-a-pillow potential.
I have never seen anyone more scared of anything than Republicans are of trans people. It would be laughable if their fear did not manifest as hatred and violence.
I'm fascinated that Republicans think everything is their business. IN NO WAY do any gay or trans people affect the life of a Republican. They need to leave other people alone and mind their own business.
But they have to SEE them, walking around being all trans-y in PUBLIC! How much longer must they suffer?!
LOL
Sounds like Martha ann Alito!
Vergogna, I tell you! Vergogna!
😉From a woman who has no shame!
It kinda hides the fact that they have no real ideas… imo
Well, it does to a certain faction of the public. But then, the stupid, like the poor, will be with us always.
And like oxygen are ubiquitous.
Ah, but in the irrational christofascist view, LGBTQIA+ people *do* affect them, because Others challenge the c.f. view of the world, in which there are only two genders. c.f. want a return to a world in which only *one* gender rules the home, the country, and the world. (And not just one gender -- the mens -- but the white part of that gender.)
Power and control are the objectives. We always have to ask ourselves, when hearing or reading about some far-right lunatic's viewpoint or policy, "What is the power / control aspect of this?" *Then* their goals make sense, so to speak (= make sense within their framework).
Agreed. Always follow the money and/or power when some reason doesn't make sense. I adopted this mindset at work. Whenever I hear of some new brainiac decision from admin, my first thought is follow the money (usually the case) or who benefits from this. It actually gives me some peace since i have no say about my job. I no longer rack my brain as to why we're told to do stupid stuff. The why is usually money.
You got it. The "money is the driver" mindset might drive a behemoth like Boeing into the dust of history. Unfortunately, it also kills.
Dee: A different step is: What is the personal payoff for them to advocate for whatever? That takes you to need to control, which is based on a sense of inferiority.
Were never going back so c.f.'s might as well get over it 🤷
Exactly right. We are never going back.
So, in summation, CFs are basically a bunch of control freaks. Sounds about right.
Hey there Steely Dan fan !
how could you tell? lol... if Black Tuesday comes, I'm gonna dig myself a hole. No clue if my soul will ever be satisfied again if the orange guy wins, but at least I know who Aretha Franklin was... :)
JOSIE 😊
Read a lot of historical fiction based on facts. It still stuns me that women once were the property of men.
My Mom didn't have credit card,her name wasn't on the checking account,Dad had to a sign a check for groceries and things,Mom worked full-time and ran the house,but she got an allowance from Dad,Mom,my brother and I were basically servants for Dad,when my parents separated, Dad's was the only name on the deed to our house,and he announced,to be 'compassionate',we had a month to get out of 'his' house,I played Little League with a friend was a lawyer,and we stopped that nonsense. I'm perfectly familiar with the time Republicans want to go back too.
Time for another LYSISTRATA ? 🤔
Exactly this. Also they say transgender are fantasy dwellers unable to accept facts and making them pretend, when the reverse is true.
The christo-fascists can’t imagine or cope with anything more complex than the most simple, aimed at toddlers level of science or nuance. They can only mentally cope with their being only two sexes and two genders (they think these things are the same anyway) , their worldview is too fragile to imagine anything except themselves. Therefore anything that isn’t exactly like them is a threat and they hate them irrationally. They sexualise the other , they fantasise about them, they imagine all sorts of horrific things that they (the conservatives) want to do or are doing and project them on to the other, (look at child abuse) , the dehumanise them. Then they make transgender and intersex people pretend to be what they are not , just because these fragile snowflakes can’t accept reality. It’s projection at its finest, they did it to POC ,Jewish and LGB and immigrants exactly the same way in the past.
It is a mental disorder, they need help , but those in power find them too easy to use to gain more wealth and power, so they keep enabling the worst aspects of them.
Excellent point Dee...
Mind their own DAMN business 😊
I agree. Being trans, gay,black,brown,female or any number of things Republicans rail against ad infinitum has zero affect on the quality of their hateful, nosey lives. imhfo.
Sometimes I think they are just sex obsessed. WTF? Grow up.
They do think everything is sexual, but that is probably because they are so unhealthily, sexually repressed.
They can't though, they are narcissists who think they get a say in everything! The less qualified they are about something, the more they want to make rules about it.
They do like to get hysterical about 1% of the population.
Repugs are scared of everything. In my opinion due to lack of exposure and knowledge of the world. Must live in complete isolation. Hard to even imagine. They have missed living.
I sat next to a guy from NYC on the plane to NY on Thursday. Affable, starting talking to me and out of the blue (we were talking about vscations) he tells me that unions are the backbone of this country and Trump is all about the unions. The way he said it I thought he was joking so I started laughing and asked him are you a Trump supporter? He said yes and he was serious. I said I thought you were joking because the UAW hates Trump among other unions. He didn't know what to say. He lives in Brooklyn, family background is Italian and he's a maritime worker. Some relatives live in Staten Island (GOP territory). His wife won't fly or cruise. She was taking the train from Vegas to NY. Who does that? She's diabetic and refused the vaccine. I think he represents many of the typical Trump supporters. White, not college educated in blue collar jobs. He was a pleasant guy to talk to, but not the sharpest tool in the box. A bubble person. Surrounded by other MAGA family members who watch Fox. I'm not in a union and don't have a blue collar job. My children don't either so I have no insider knowledge of unions. But I knew about the UAW at least and he was clueless, yet thinks unions love Trump.
Deborah, your friend on that flight (and his clueless wife) are EXACTLY why LDFF says he “loves the poorly educated” - they are putty in his tiny little hands!!! ✋
I hope he ‘looked it up’ after the flight!!!
My mother was Union Steward for the TEAMSTERS at FEDCO. And fittingly she died on Labor Day. 💙
Fedco, wow. That brings back memories. Unions are the only reason we got benefits. Ever.
She was the Customer Service Representative, perfect for her, she was so kind.
May her memory be a blessing, Kristy.
Yes, seconded.
He might be too dumb to vote. Here's hoping!
He should hear Trump laughing it up with Musk about firing striking workers. He praised Musk for being "a great cutter" - of jobs.
Really pro-union. As the head of the UAW said at the Dem convention "Trump is a scab."
Perhaps you have enlighten this person enough to take a deep dive into the subject and find out for himself, we can hope anyway 😉
Deborah: Probably because tfg SAID SO!
My father complained bitterly & often about having to join the Teamsters Union mid 1960's to drive a semi. He vehemently hated paying dues. I remember our family being able to visit the dentist no charge. A GOP guy. But over the years, it's clear to see that income inequality and top 1 percenters could care less about employees without unions' insistence on wages, health care, benefits.
My husband belongs to Bricklayers Local 5 NY (retired) and this union always supports Democrats.
If you tell a big lie, and tell it enough, they will believe it.
Uninformed and uneducated, unctuous derps are the majority of the republican population!
The problem is, they have no idea how much they actually DON’T know - and that makes them even more dangerous. Trust me, I come from a family of staunch Republicans, and that’s just how they roll. If it’s not on Fox Entertainment, it’s not true, they think!
Yes, textbook Dunning-Kruger. You do have to have a certain level of intelligence to realize it takes much time and dedication to a subject, to truly become an expert. Therefore one can never be an expert in all things.
When in doubt, just yell louder than them.
They've missed a lot and are stuck on that road of delusion and fear. Too bad the message of the felonious perpetrator is way out in the outer limits of his demented fantasy world and the MAGAs eat this shit up like it's a free hanberders giveaway. You'd like to think that his latest rant about going to school and coming home three days later with a sex change operation should be a help with more undecided voters.
We should hope it helps with undecided voters
Terri: you nailed it. Fear of total ignorance. It isn’t more complicated than that. These people are terrified of whatever Dear Leader or their fire and brimstone, snake handling pastors tell them. No need to think or see anything that can be validated. Everything is accepted on faith. Blind unquestioning faith
It’s just the latest fear/distraction button… I wish D’s would just clap back with: “Yes, and they represent .015% of the population… but take care of that pls”… (might have to wait for AOC/Crockett to get higher up)? Yeesh
I think it's also bc the idea that gender and sexuality are fluid contradicts the far-right christian nationalist view of the world, where there are two genders and each has a firmly defined role.
They want a return to the shttty old days when men -- white men -- ruled the country (and preferably the world) and rules the women in their lives. Women would have no financial resources (because instead of working outside the home, they'd raise children and run the household) *and* women would be not only dependent on them but subservient to them -- no more no-fault divorce!
I bet the P2025 group are eyeing, with intrigued curiosity, the taliban's latest assault on women (no talking in public), wondering just how far murka's christofascists could go.
One has to wonder what their version of the burka will look like. Ever think about that, influencers?
I always figure American christofascists won't do burkas. First, can you imagine Greg Abbott saying the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have to cover up? And as a very funny Alexandra Petri column satirized, JD Vance needs to know who the fertile women are: in burkas, you can't tell the teenagers from a (horrors) post-menopausal woman. And if women covered themselves up, how could you blame them for getting raped?
NYT: We asked designers what a full body covering for women might look like. Here are the results.
It would kill the fashion industry. Can’t do that—too much money involved.
shee-rah:In my growing-up years in Turkey, there was no burka, veil, or hijab, except for village women who would wear a scarf to cover their hair. Once the idiot president started to use the tool of religion, and women started to wear the hijab, a whole new fashion industry sprouted up, with its own catwalk shows even!! Real scam, because last year when I was there, I saw women all covered up but with 5 tons of makeup!!
But a lot of that money goes to icky gay people, so...
At least we know they can use eyeliner.
Maga & Evangelicals remind me that Copernicus barely escaped being burned at the stake for announcing the Earth revolves around the Sun. Religion fanatics freaked out, as it somehow went against their religious beliefs.
Cue the Death Panels for post menopausal women...
Become Soylent Green?
Hey! Look over there!
Also known as: Running out the clock!
Squirrel!🐿️

SQUIRREL!!!!
I just wish the world would just leave them all alone. Different strokes for different folks.
Joanne, when you say, “I wish the world would leave them alone.”
Who are them? Harris, Walz, Joe or TFG and his fascist followers.
Just wanted you to be clear about, the We who are you referring to?
In the context of the post Joanne responded to, the antecedent of "them" is clearly "trans people"
Thank you
Yes.
Yes.
YEP!
No. I wish people,rednecks,idiots, evangelists, etc... would leave all people who choose to live differently from them the fuck alone!!
The Bullshit fantasy scenario of taking kids out of school and ‘turning them trans’ is about as bizarro idiotic as the orange monster’s claim that there is abortion at nine months. What the fuck is he saying? A baby is born and then murdered and no one notices? WTF does anyone let him make that statement and never question it? Have journalists given up on any actual questioning and everything with MAGA is just a big free for all forum of outlandish lies? I’m sick to death of it all.
Yes, they obviously aren't capaple of doing their jobs, or their editors suck, and change things to be pro-trump.
I guess they want to know exactly who they are raping.
They need people to look down on. And so many fake Christians!
I guess they want to know exactly who they are raping.
BTW ,anybody catch Jesse Watters' violent sexual assault threat he made against Kamala Harris ? While also besmirching our Generals. People are calling for him to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY.
I saw it on Xitter. It must have been really bad, because it seemed that even some of the women on Fox said it made them "uncomfortable."
He needs to be neutered.
Didn't make the women uncomfortable enough to not air the piece I'll bet.
Should have.
The thing they should fear and detest most looks back at them in the mirror each morning!
Sadly their fear and hate has been imported wholesale to the UK too with Labour being very transphobic to pander to the loud minority the press tells them represent their voters. Getting TERF queen herself Joanne to advise on Trans Genocide (sorry “care”) backing the misleading and deliberately damaging Cass report written by a transphobe bigot and ignoring large amounts of medical evidence) , the block on puberty blockers has already caused children to commit suicide. They opened 7 new conversion centres, are cancilling surgeries for no clear reason and now doing an adult report. Oh and banning transgender people from existing as far as education is concerned, denying them medical care (saying they can only stay on mixed wards when mixed wards are meant to be illegal in the UK (they aren’t all gone though because of underfunding) , also being denied access to basic rights like somewhere to go to the toilet.
No they aren’t afraid, they hate, they want to erase. They are using the same tactics the racists did to POC .
People are suffering and dying just so these people can get more power.
It’s an attack on all LGBTQI people. They are separating trans people deliberately from their natural allies. It’s misogyny, it will spill over to cisgender women who don’t conform and that was always the plan.
Sadly it looks like they are winning.
They fear other people treating them like they want to treat others. They fear not being 100% powerful and unable to abuse and subjugate everyone else. They fear that their cruelty will be taken away from them. They are same people from 50 , 100 , 200 years ago, they never change and are always waiting for the chance to make the world a darker and nastier place.
They seem to be equally afraid of facts and reality.
That image from ARLINGTON still galls me..The Thumbs Ups, the SMILES FROM COMMANDER BONESPURS & THE " GRIEF STRICKEN MAGA ASSHOLES ".
makes me ask: WHAT ARE YOU ALL CELEBRATING? THAT DEAD SOLDIER? or THE HOLY PRESENCE OF THE COMMANDER? THE AURA OF THIS THING???
DISGUSTING!!
What about the “secret” white power hand symbol that young woman is making?
I wondered about their hands when I first saw that picture. I even commented on it in a post. I find the families more disgusting than he is. If those are even the real families. I can't imagine in a million years acting like that at a family member's grave.
'Faketriots'
Two separate hands on two separate women to the right of TFG look off to me. Could this be a fake? Am I not seeing them correctly? And then the woman in the pic’s far left. What is the sign she’s making? Is it the horns that a person might flash at a concert or Texas college football game?
Yep. All three. I really hope it is just an innocent sign.
The racism she displays explains exactly why she supports him
Supposedly that has not been the symbol she expressed
"Supposedly " 😉
I’m hoping I’m wrong, but there are three of them making that sign in the photo.
Once is coincidence twice is suspect three is a pattern
Which young woman, and which gesture? The one in the navy cardigan is making the "devil's horn" gesture, but I can't find any indication that it shows support for white power. ??? Thanks.
Exactly, the devil horns sign 🤘 is what one does while headbanging at a thrash metal concert. So, even graveside. A white power gesture, totally inappropriate at a gravesite.
It appears actually to be a reference to U of Texas Longhorns
I count two of them.
BEYOND DISGUSTING!!🤮🤮😡😡🤬🤬
The hand gestures on the two blonde, tattooed women need explanation.
I think those two grinning tattooed blondes are making ‘love you rock n roll’ gestures. Hardly the actions of truly grieving family members over the grave of a dead relative.
That's what I thought. Not exactly a grief gesture, unless they were dancing on the grave.
I figured they were attempting ‘rock n roll’ or ‘hang loose’ gestures but somehow failed at both.
Look like devil 😈 horns real appropriate at a national cemetery of fallen heroes.
Ingrid, you and me and a the rest of sane America!
I’m soooo incredibly pissed off I can barely sit still.
The fact that our veterans were subjected to this disgusting debacle of disrespect. Our veterans resting place being defiled by a traitorous toad. Accompanied by his zombie cult followers with their hate and ignorance heaped upon the graves of our servicemen.
The ANC representative who was shoved aside by one of Trump’s goons trying to prevent crime from being committed on sacred grounds has refused to press charges does not in any way justify Trump not being charged.
Who was the family? Are they even supposed to be there?
They're Trump props.
Bingo, they offered their dead relative's grave as a prop, for the Orange slug.
Swift-boaters 20 years later.
As reward he gave them a pair of Trump sneakers & a bible
Paid to pose with the degenerates degenerate!🐀
And the family aspect about inviting Biden and Harris? That didn’t show up until Trump got dumped on.
I’ve just run out of energy to even try to make this make any kind of sense. What must the rest of the world be thinking about us when the headlines read like the national inquirer daily?
Trump and the MAGAs don't have issues,they have stunts.
The fact that they used the relatives death, as an excuse to wallow in the effluent, with a disgusting Jabba the hut impersonator, tells you everything you neeed to know about them. Well, that and the tattoed arm woman making the white supremacy sign.
Omg, as if anyone keeps their employment records from all their jobs as a teenager. I didn't keep records of working at Huddle House or Pizza Hut, for example, or any of the restaurant jobs I worked at. How incredible, when democracy is on the line, that this is what the press is chasing after!
How the fuck do I prove that I worked in a stitching mill , a shoe factory or as a waitress in a bar ? Got my degree in 1978. Isn’t that enough ??
I got my first college degree in 1971. NEVER put on a resume that I worked as a waitress in college. I think that would have looked stupid unless I was in a supervisory role as an adult. The GOP obsession with worthless crap is eye watering.
As someone who worked for a large contract engineering firm many decades ago, when we rewrote resumes for presentation to a potential client, only the relevant experience from the last ten years of the potential employee was left on the resume, unless they had worked in the same field for longer than that. The fact that the MSM is zealously pursuing this tiny, obscure detail in Kamala’s background just shows you how desperate they are. It’s really laughable - kind of like they’re on a snipe hunt. Who actually cares???
The GOP is just looking for something that will stick. You just know someone is looking at all of Kamala's prosecutions for one she lost (See? Soft on Crime!) or a disgruntled student who didn't like the grade Walz (or his wife) gave them ten years ago that meant (so they say) they had to go to a state school instead of Dartmouth.
So long as we’re NOT talking about the JEpstein files then… amirite
I worked babysitting starting at age 12, slinging burgers and ice cream at a little drive-in that disappeared years ago, waited tables at various restaurants in New Mexico, Kansas and Texas, worked in the dish room of my college dormitory cafeteria (with Mr. Hobart). Never put any such thing on my post college resume. And couldn't prove it I had to. Which apparently I would be asked to if I had the temerity to run for political office while female. Corporate journalism is not journalism. It's a tool for protecting the oligarchy from tax increases so they can become even more obscenely wealthy. Greed kills.
🎯🎯🎯
Uh oh, I forgot my years a a tour guide at Universal Studios. Sheesh, I AM getting bad 😦
OMG. I just remembered I worked at Jack La Lannes in Santana Monica, I was the head " Instructress " Wow, time really does fly.
Santa Monica
I don't have even 1 picture of me working at Wendy's. How will I ever prove it?
I wish I still had my Der Weinershnitzel get-up!
Wienerschnitzel? hot dog joint?
You bet! I got my first official (paperwork, taxes, etc) job there when I was 15. The pay was $1.85 an hour.
Supposedly to be grammatically correct in German, it would be Das Wienetschnitzel 🙃
Me also. I had so many part time jobs getting through college I could attempt to recall but really?
Shows those wanting total recall, have had NO life.
The nice thing about teenage part time jobs is that you can make all your rookie mistakes and learn a bunch of stuff before you get to the real career jobs. It still doesn't mean they go on your adult CV or that you want a prospective employer inquiring into the bonehead mistake you made when you were 17. And putting them on an adult resume makes it look like you might not have much going for you and have to pad your experience.
I still have my Stop & Shop name badge from when I was a stocker & bagger summers on Cape Cod in ‘81 & ‘82.
I've still got my Wendy's name badge (from 1977) - worked there a week - never put it on my resume'. 🍔
Well, I hope that is first and foremost on any job resume you write. Lol.
Right after Burger King. Worked there three whole months.
After the S&S job I graduated from college and started working at a school where I’ve been enjoying my job for the past 42 years. Retirement is on the not-too-distant future horizon. TBH, I love my colleagues, but I’m now the employee with the longest tenure, and some of my closest friends were born the year I started.
I started teaching in grad school in 1981...still doing it - still love it, but retirement is on my radar, too.
🙌
YES. I'm about 3 yrs older than KH, and I have no pics of myself from my grunt-work jobs (why would I?), no pay stubs, no tax returns from 1978-1984. None of my friends would remember where I worked part-time during those years, just as I don't remember where they worked part-time FORTY FKKKING YEARS AGO IN NON-CAREER-PATH JOBS.
All of this is deeply offensive, deeply stupid, and a SHAMEFUL waste of press time.
It's pretty evident to me that the people yelling about Kamala’s resume are clueless about the info to include on a resume. In today's world, a resume needs only to list relevant jobs of the past 10 years to one's profession. I would think the yahoos screaming about not listing McD’s have never had to write a resume. Maybe even fill out a job application.
The outrage was stirred by a right-wing "news outlet" that found her application (not a rez) for a law-related position. That said, the advice for applications (more common back them) and for rez has long been the same: Include only the workplaces where your tasks were relevant for the job you're applying for
Which, D-UH, is why she didn't put McD on that application. This is all so spectacularly stupid and a huge waste of time.
I worked at a bank in the early 70's after I graduated college. I went back to school for nursing and graduated in 1980. I never put those bank jobs on a resume for a nursing job. No one cared what I had done before I became a nurse.
The application only had three slots for prior employment. She wasted two of them on mentioning law-clerk jobs as if that mattered more than her McD job!
I think if you were applying for a skilled job and you weren't 18, you'd look stupid if you put your high school/college jobs on there unless they were relevant to the job you are seeking now.
And, of course, if applicants put their teenage jobs on their resume, I'd never hire them. No critical thinking skills nor ability to sort the unnecessary from the pertinent!
Ya'll, this isn't about record keeping, or where she worked, or even whether or not she even worked there.
It's about the same old double standard with Trumplican news. And by that I mean ALL the corporate media.
donOLD lies his ass off, and crickets. VP Harris talks about a job she had as a teen, and it's "We have to hunt this down!! Because, if she'll lie about that, well....WHAT ELSE IS SHE LYING ABOUT?!?!
I assume that the media/GOP are "Just asking questions."* Such as, "When did you stop turning tricks on Sunset Blvd?"**
* ™ Fox news and Tucker Carlson.
** equivalent to the classic question posed to a male: "When did you stop beating your wife?"
I love that she worked there.
It wouldn't matter if you did though. The corporate HR department would have long ago archived or destroyed those records as no longer needed.
Actually, she probably worked for a franchisee, not the Big Ronald, and who knows if the franchise is still around or got absorbed by a bigger franchisee. But yeah, 40-year-old records of a part-time employee would not be saved for history.
Professional resumes only go back 10 years. So, the press must think she's only 26, because she's so pretty and joyful! Love your comment.
I forgot to list working at sears wrapping Christmas presents while I was working on my second MA. We are getting dumber and dumber.
I worked in a McDonald's the summer of 1981 in Champaign, IL. I doubt there is any evidence of that anywhere.
Like McDonald's has paper records in a Warehouse from 40 years ago!
The "get an operation at school" is right ip there with his post partum abortion. Harps on it so much, I'm wondering if he ordered one or two.
For sure he's paid for a lot of abortions. I wish one of the old girlfriends would come forward but they are probably scared
MAGAs wouldn't believe her if she went public anyway.
Really too bad he didn’t abort Don & Eric. Mmm, and Ivanka.
forget about Tiffany!!
He wanted her aborted, per reports
Yes he told Howard Stern that. Marla was so stupid she told him, was the happiest day of their lives, he already had three kids that he ignored.
Father of the Year
NDA
I'm thinking it's not impossible he's had newborns killed
Ahhh, that would make since, he's always projecting what's actually true of him.
🤣🤣🤣
Like schools are operating a multi bed PACU and full scale OR with actual medical staff when they barely allow a school nurse and the nurse can’t even administer Tylenol unless it was provided by the parent and a call to them to verify it’s okay.
Searching for a winning message eh? Back in my day they called that throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks -- more accurate when it comes to trump I'd say. It’s all bs, the polls are as real as trumps hair and Kamala isn’t taking the bait. Happy Labor Day fellow JT fans. ❤️
"Real as Trumps hair" 😂😂😂😂 Excellent!
In Drumpf's case, I think it could be, "...throwing ketchup at the wall..."
Happy Labor day, awesome lady.
How the fuck does he think the school does this? Do they have a bus and drag the kids to the hospital in it? Who gives consent for the kids to have the surgery? Do the Drs play rock, paper, scissors to see who does the procedure? Does the school or the parents pay for it? Do they also make them read all of the banned books before they can go home? Do the parents file missing children reports? The police must be working a lot of overtime. He is the biggest, nastiest POS I have ever seen in my life. We need to make it very clear to him how much we despise him. Vote Blue all the way 💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
He lies with so much conviction, not to mention abundance, that it's hard to discern what he actually believes and what he says only for his advantage. His whole life can be summed up that way.
He does not "believe" things the way ordinary people do: that would require a sense that there is a difference between truth and falsity. To him, there is only a sense of what is helpful to attract attention and approval to himself. He will say whatever is convenient in the moment, without any concern about inconsistency with what was convenient to say just a short time ago.
Yes. In other words, he is severely mentally ill and should not have been and should never again be the President of The United States.
As per JT: “ sundowning grandpa befuddlepants…”
And I thought all the kids were being aborted when they were 2-6 months old. /s
When teachers have to ask for charitable contributions to have crayons and disinfecting wipes in their classrooms, I doubt the school is funding many gender reassignment surgeries.
In the nurse's office ? 😟
Thank God most MOMS are nice like the moms on this list! 😊
So sick of the ignorant media. We need to call them out everytime. We have a trans son-transitioned in his 20’s…all on his own…had nothing to do with school. As a retired educator, people who believe that shit about schools making kids trans should be in a mental institution as educators have enough to do teaching kids how to READ critically! (amongst other things…obvi!) Whew!
In June, which is Pride Month, a woman who is part of the Moms hate group filmed herself confronting some drag performers minding their own business in a hotel lobby in Honolulu. The local TV station did the "both sides-ism" and interviewed her. I called them and protested giving her a platform and the asshole at the station said, we interviewed the performer and read a statement from the governor's office condemning her behavior. He refuted my point that her hateful behavior is a helluva lot different than the other parties involved. Damn idiots in media.
We quit watching that station's news.
I saw that, the queens were pure class.
And that awful woman was a hateful, self promoting asshole
I blame Reagan .
Still waiting for the “trickle down” effect 44 years later…
Happy Labor to youse, and then let’s kick them muthafuckahs in the jimmies!
👍👍👍
Same to youins.
👏👏😁👍
Thanks JT! I wonder which brave soul(s) might actually do a deep dive on the corporate media’s complicity in all this, if at all. One could argue that the news-entertainment complex got him elected in the first place.
The corporate media, which is "circling the bowl" in relevancy in this world of streaming, have lost 50% of their eyeballs/readers since 2020. The owners of the Corporate media (ABC, owned by Disney; CBS, owned by Paramount; NBC, owned by Universal; CNN, owned by Warner Bros-Discovery) want to get rid of them. To sell them, they must be "profitable" again. They all remember what Jeff Zucker the Fucker said in 2016 when he was criticized for having CNN cover Trump's hatelongs live without commercials: "Donald Trump brings high ratings!"
As always: Follow. The. Money.
They definitely did, them and his dear friend Putin..
Absolutely they visited this plague upon us.
1. Some commenter on a different article claimed 50% of the country will vote for Trump and we should investigate why more before we write them off. I’m not sure what planet they live on, but this has been done ad nauseum and they’ve shown us who they are, both educated shitheels and ignorant boobs.
2. Moms for Liberty is anything but. I guess the moniker Moms for Subjugation was already taken. 🙄
You don't know that. The Mom from Florida might be the dominatrix in her 3 way.
Yep, she was probably the one that claimed that domain.
She definitely is the top, she sent his ugly ass out to bars to pick up drunk women.
Did Stormy play the Dominatrix, in the first Borat movie ? I'll Google it.
Just remember your views are never, ever legitimate as a coastal elite. Nor are mine apparently though no one every talks about us Midwestern elites. Maybe it's bc of all the flannel?
😂😂
He never even got a 50% approval rating, let alone breaking 50 in either of his elections.
Fucking thank you! 33% percent of the voting public, if everyone voted. Sadly they don't.
Right? Her stats were way off. Not sure if it was due to fear or fearmongering.
The whole point of right-wing astroturfing is to adopt a name that sounds positive, when the goal is to create a situation which is the opposite. Like "Freedom Caucus" or "Make America Great Again." An Orwellian name like "Moms for Liberty" to prevent teachers from teaching and kids from reading is right in step with this.
Besides the fact that who in the WORLD goes to a cemetery and does a thumbs up over a grave (unless, of course, you killed them), what I still want to know is why the two blondes in the front row were doing the "sign of the horns" to ward off the evil eye? Where they trying to keep DJT's fumes away from them, or were they worried about a pissed off resurrection? And why hasn't anyone noticed THAT?
Additionally, someone is using the neighboring headstone as a side table for their cellphone. Keep it klassy, MAGAts.
OMG I missed that. Shocking disrespect.
How sad and painful for the family especially now to have that all over the media. I hope they sue the s*** out of Trump and the other families there. And MAGA makes such a huge deal that someone kneels during our anthem, yet looks totally the other way about this.
FYI, I can't find anything online to substantiate Pope Buck's claim that *any* family of anyone buried in ANC is suing anyone else (ANC itself, the djt campaign, the family that invited djt).
Folks, let's be better than MAGAts -- let's fact-check before we post! Thanks.
The Marckesano family is considering it, but I find no reports that they have actually filed https://x.com/maggieNYT/status/1828949561785594161
Oh, dear. That is so damn sad. Then he has to have the shitstain standing on his grave. I hope all the families shown in the pictures sue, and sue and sue. And prevail.
Oh damn, that's so sad.
I noticed it, and just shook my head in disgust…who are these people? Besides weird and in the cult.
Are these even real family members? Why haven't we seem their names in the news? Everyone else is fair game, why not them?
It has been mentioned. Some people report it as a White Power symbol but I wouldn't know. I took it to be the American Sign Language sign for bullshit.
Nope. It's a white power signing.
I don’t think it is. The white power sign is a combination of thumb and index finger circled to form an O combined with the other three fingers standing up to make a capital W. I think they are simply ‘rocking n rolling’ over the Fallen’s graves. Whatever the truth, it is disgusting behaviour.
That White Power symbol is the same as "asshole" in ASL -- https://www.truthorfiction.com/is-the-ok-hand-sign-also-american-sign-language-for-asshole/
Coincidence? Methinks not.
Can you provide a citation? I just googled that devil's horn symbol, and I found nothing linking it to white power. (I want to be sure that I don't inadvertently make it benignly yet offend others.) Thanks.
"The sign of the horns" is also a secret White Power signing.
It's a white power thing.
Had to go back and look. You are right !
Well the one showing the "signs of the horn" may have graduated from U Texas. That's what we signal to each other \m/ .
But, that's mere speculation. Not sure what the other one was trying to signal.
IF that is indeed what she's trying to signal.
If you look at the picture, that is how those of us who went to UT signal each other. It's a way of saying "Hook 'em Horns" (the U's nickname is the Longhorns). You're also supposed to wiggle your hand like a bull does his head. It's silly I know, but.....
Again though, I have no idea if that's what she was trying to signal or not. And even so, it's STILL highly inappropriate given the context and place.
I commented about the odd hand placement days ago but can't remember which post it was.
I don't care where she worked as a high schooler, or college? A couple of the places I worked for don't even exist anymore because the owner retired, records destroyed, etc. I don't care what race she is. what color her skin is (ok, not orange), or that she's a female. What is important is how well she will do the job we are electing her to do.
Right? I worked on my college campus, but that was a zillion years ago. Sorry I forgot to save my pay stubs as proof. 🙄
Why are you hiding that food service job? Hmmmm? Hmmm?
I swear I never spit in the nachos
So now you're telling me I have to look askance at nachos...I just finished throwing out my lunchmeat.
I don't of course, know how McD's keeps their records, but at longest, 10 years is generous. Considering how many employees they rotate each year and have for decades... plus during the 80's and even 90's computer storage was expensive-
Is it possible IRS holds records that long, keeping W-4's? It seems unlikely.
"all because some deranged gullible fool believed some cynical demagogue’s lie."
A deranged, gullible fool who can buy a gun at Walmart, no significant questions asked. Courtesy of the party of Trump.

It wasn't me
We get your point, but as a matter of pedantry, Walmart doesn't sell guns. They stopped several years ago. Gun nuts everywhere called for a boycott before realizing that Walmart was often the only store in town beyond Dollar General in more than a few rural places.
As a matter of fact, they stopped selling handguns, AR-15s, and some types of rifles.
"your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. the school decides what’s going to happen with your child". JFC! I again say: Why is this race even close? If these cult members could really hear the lunacy that comes out of Dumps mouth....
I got into it (I engaged this dumb ass for the pure sport of it) with some poor schmuck on Facebook who was convinced that Kamala was paying the bail for illegals in jail and that I was a "Dumocrat" and Harris laughed like a "hyenna". I finally said, "Fred, your spelling is so poor, I cant understand what you're trying to say". He stopped there. And these people walk among us. 🙄
Have a great day, people! 💙✌️
Lol, I make fun of twits who use Demoncrat as an insult. Like I’m standing over my cauldron casting spells, or lighting candles on the pentagram I painted on my kitchen floor. Oooops! I think I said too much. 🙄
😂😂. I ordered my cauldron from Witches Supply-where did you get yours? 🧙
Wiccans R Us

HA!!!
Stay out of North Carolina - they going to ban you if Cao is elected!
Would that be the famous Hung Cao?
He won’t be
Virginia actually.
TY for the correction
What? I wanna see the pentagram on your kitchen floor. Lol!
I've seen the one on your front door already. It appears to be keeping you safe. 😁
IKR, operations at school. We keep saying this among our community: how in the actual fuck does anyone, anyone who is not clinically insane believe any of these wild, baseless bullshit?
Whenever I do that, after I've had enough, I say, "dude, I can't make any sense of what you're saying, so how about go out and learn English as a first language, then get back to me."
They're doing their job, which is to re-elect Trump and ensure right-wing control. I am waiting for the NYT and the WaPo to openly endorse Trump.
Hold on, it’s coming. 🎼🎻
🎯
Lord.
With respect, that can't be their goal -- they know that djt would shut them down or sue them out of existence. I don't know why their coverage is often as bad as it is, but they aren't trying to re-elect djt.
Also, the NYT has already printed two significant anti-djt-for-2024 pieces; I'm not suggesting that these make up for their many misdeeds, but they aren't in the bag for djt. I can find only one right now; gift link is below.
djt is unfit for a second term

Respectfully, everything they write is one-sided, Dumpty gets a pass and first Biden then Harris are drug through broken glass on every. fucking. thing.
Why would LDFF sue anyone who helps him avoid prison?
Makes no sense to me.
agreed- they will endorse Harris - and then little donny boy will throw a snit fit even though nobody on either side really cares who they endorse
I'd bet a dollar against this Harris endorsement.
