Ohio gov Mike DeWine just called the hate-mongering against Haitians "unhelpful," so there's at least one Republican with some extremely tepid criticism
Tipping points are exactly what I thought of the other night when Dana Bash defended her lack of fact-checking during an MSNBC interview. She was protesting pretty loudly considering SHE brought it up. And now exercising her duty to push back … It hasn’t yet reached “have you no sense of decency, sir” level, but a few more weeks of incessant calling out from Jeff and every other fed up truth teller and we might get there.
Remember — this shit is not gonna cease or desist after the election. If anything it will be even more important for ALL OF US to push back and make it clear we’re not accepting another shot at them installing their king. There’s gonna be a new POTUS in town, and next time she won’t hold her tongue or that book we should’ve thrown at him 4 years ago.
I'm most excited about the kicking of Merrick Garland to the curb. I get why Old Handsome Joe Biden couldn't do it, but it's been time for him to go since, oh, Jan. 30, 2021 or so.
Only the postal board can kick DeJoy out, but if they can get the last two vacancies on the board filled, they should be able to do it, that depends on keeping the Senate.
Biden filled all the vacancies with Dems, and had enough to remove DeJoy, but they didn't do it! DeJoy must have won at least one of them over to his side!
Agreed funnyhaha! However, Garland immediately started an investigation into trump’s meeting with his coterie the night before the incident of malaise at the capital… Bill Barr in his typical treasonous fashion of Irangate and Bush’s Iran-Contra crimes, killed that investigation! Mueller she wrote’s investigation and article clearly states the truth, check it out at her Substack. Knowing Barr had put his cronies in positions at the Justice Department, coupled with judicial branches, FBI etc. Garland had to run a cloak and dagger investigation, without any of Trump or Barr’s knowledge before any action could be taken.
excited? ❤️ did you read or hear about them kicking him to the curb? That sounds too good to be true...before I get excited with you, who is kicking him to the curb? Or did you meant the "hope" of 'them' kicking him to the curb...It is something that should have been done 4 years ago. !! 😊
Good points. However, I feel like this country has gone way beyond the "have you no sense of decency." We need to remove this diseased sleaze from our lives. Remember in November.
Him and his freaky looking father should have been jailed back in the 70s for the illegal shit that they were doing in the real estate redlining business!
You got that right Patrick ,That too as well as other bogus shit that will surely come out eventually! He wanted to be the head of a sixth family in NY …The bastard was insane back then !
Legacy media, and every other journalistic outlet should go Joseph Welch on these degenerates every hour and every day up to November 5th - relentlessly. Find some level of integrity, backbone or guts already. There is no f'ing bottom for these people. I'm quite angry
I remember when DeWine first hit the news in the 1980's during Iran-Contra and was the era's equivalent of Gym Jordan (though he kept his jacket on.) In the decades since, he seems to have calmed down somewhat, which means maybe there's hope for Jordan.
Is it possible the TV "news" companies are losing so many subscribers over this shit that some top brass type somewhere decided it's time to do something (other than continue mindlessly shoveling all the $$$$ the persistent shit-stench generates into their pockets)?
I agree....they need the needle moving towards the green light and not the red....
as soon as they get comfortable again, their pro-trump bigotry will continue...not a damn fucking one those corporate maga broadcast owners is having any heart or sympathy...they are watching their ratings
Same here (or anything else, for that matter)! Why in the hell do the operators of public places assume that everyone wants human yammering broadcast at them every-fucking-where?? Even at the damn gas pumps?!! 🤬
I thought maybe now that CNN has taken a chunk of Fox's audiences, perhaps is FOX now trying to become CNN? They are flip flopping viewers to game the ratings system...who TF knows.
Oh that’s an easy one look at who owns CNN, Robert Malone a Murdoch crony. Fox, on the other hand is sick of being called out for bad behavior (and outright lies) so they are keeping things less inflammatory, Murdoch’s son Lachlan is running it now, so different style, but still damaging to polite society.
Thanks for the information, Jeff. Truth is the enemy of GOP lies. All of us who are disgusted with tfg and Shady JD will try to straighten out this hateful mess they’ve caused with unfounded rumors, and unchecked “facts”.
Or did the insurance people and the Fox lawyers get to Bartiromo first? Follow the money, honey!
.
THANK YOU JEFF for fighting this evil bigoted hate, for calling it out. May your platform's readership of sensible decent people only grow. You're getting some of my household money for the foreseeable future, dude! DO carry on
Emailed a very nice request asking him to get the situation in Springfield under control and to tamp down the racism. Of course I have little hope that he will actually do anything, since it’s Republican actors causing it, but at least I tried.
Governor DeWine, I am writing from Yellow Springs (your home town, I believe), 10 miles from Springfield. I ask you to do more to help and defend the city as a whole, and the legal Haitian immigrants/refugees in particular. Trump and Vance -- one of our senators! -- are making baseless claims about the Haitian population there, and it could lead to violence. I moved here from Michigan 6 months ago, and I am impressed by the natural beauty and good quality of life in SW Ohio. But the fact that our own senator is attacking us, instead of defending us, is something I have never experienced in any other state I've lived in, including Michigan, Illinois, and California. Please do more to counter the destructive claims being made by our so-called representative in the Senate, JD Vance. I would like a response from your office, please. Thank you, (name)
✅ Done! Thank you for suggesting this - great idea. Let's all flood his office with demands for decency and courage to stand up, speak out and fight back against this dangerous campaign of racist hatred.
Several Trump aides sound privately relieved today that the attention on Laura Loomer and JD Vance doubling down on immigrants eating pets has wiped Trump’s debate disaster stories off the news coverage, which shows that they knew it was bad.
A mentally disturbed 60 year old man, a Republican, was hiding in the woods near the golf course. He never shot his high powered rifle, but the secret service agent shot at the man who jumped in a car and drove away, but was caught.
His name is Ryan Routh and he wanted Vivek to run for president.
Well, Vance doubling down on the pet-eating actually revived memes about Trump spouting that crap at the debate. A shooting though will suck all the oxygen out of every other story for a while.
Mike DeWine’s acknowledgment is the kind of response some moms say to their kids: “wait till daddy comes home, he’ll deal with you. It’s called saying and doing “sweet f*ck all”.
DeWine wants to say the claims are just silly stuff, on the level of JD's supposed sofaphilia. The difference, of course, is that no human gets hurt by the couchfucking memes, and a lot of people get hurt when you unleash stochastist terrorism against Black immigrants.
Wow, DeWine went so far as to use the word unhelpful? Has a faint ring of Susan Collins, my namby-pamby Senator. If DeWine couldn’t out-and-out excoriate Trump and Vance for playing their domestic terrorism games, Ohioans are on their own.
--for fuck’s sake, MAGA — leave these poor people alone. haven’t they already suffered enough?--
This assumes that MAGA can be compassionate and conscientious.
While physically similar to human beings, they and their cheerleaders are not.
As an aside, I do hope that the prOwD BoYz continue to wander in small packs. Through parking lots with clear lines of sight from a distance. So they can be "surveilled." While waddling through unobstructed areas with tall rooftops. In towns with lots of minorities they've been threatening or terrorizing. And marginalized so thoroughly that they feel like they have nothing to lose.
Absolutely sickening. I would like to be the first person to slap a large piece of strapping tape across Trump’s big mouth. And Couch McFuck’s, too. They will stop at NOTHING. There is no bottom, with them.
I’m hoping some patriot will get so disgusted with this Nazi regime in waiting that he/ she will put an end to it in the old fashioned way et tu Brute ?
I get that. And I’ve felt it. And I’ve been astonished that in the last nine years I’ve grown to hate another creature on this earth so much that I regularly wish them dead. I remember the attempt on Reagan. I did not like him, but it was sobering. My reaction both in July and yesterday, has been — is he dead? I hope this will end well, we will save our country and I might regain some of my humanity.
I wonder if it ever occurs to Trump that he is truly the most hated man on earth, and that many people don’t really care if he lives or dies. Probably not, because he is convinced that everyone just LOVES him, but in his darker moments, I just wonder….. I am glad he is okay, but only because of the violence that would have been unleashed if this second guy had been successful in getting him. We don’t want civil war, especially over such an idiot as the Melon Felon is.
It’s hardly wrong to wish for a malignancy to be destroyed ! Trump is a malignant cancer imbedded in the political and moral heart of this country and as so cutting 🪚it and him out is nothing but a natural survival mechanism! 🇺🇸
Tape won't stop these two despicable racist bastards from spreading their message of hate. Hope Judge Merchan and all of the rest of those involved in the prosecution judiciary process are paying close attention. The fact that inhuman fuck is still out there doing the same shit that he's still awaiting trial for is incomprehensible.
I'm guessing someone is tracing the origin of those email threats right now. All the emails have to do is ping themselves at some point from another state and the FBI can be on it, full bore. They generally don't TELL people they are doing it. So they may be already on it.
EVEN IF half of the things they're claiming were happening - and of course they aren't - what does calling in bomb threats to hospitals do to solve anything? These have got to be some of the goddamn dumbest chunks of matter on the planet.
We human beings are set up to emote first and ask questions afterwards. If someone tells us there's a danger, we are set up to fight or flight. This is because our Paleolithic ancestors had real existential threats to deal with— lions, tigers, bears, snakes.
So, Donnie convict yells Haitians! And we human beings have to work double hard to realize he is yanking a phony chain.
I must confess I have only known one Haitian in my entire life, but I have known thousands of Hispanics, so telling me Hispanics are a danger just makes me laugh.
Montreal has the largest population of Haitian immigrants in Canada - 83%. They have great sense of humor, love to sing and enjoy life and bring a different perspective to everyday life to this grand city. Hell, even Michaelle Jean, born in Port-au-Prince was appointed Canada’s 27th Governor General, the King of England’s representative in our country. We were proud to have her represent 🇨🇦.
The most interesting part of that story, apart from the threat, is this quote from JD Vance:
""If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do," Vance said on CNN, later adding "I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media focusing on it."
This quote from Dumbass JD really pisses me off! He's a do nothing senator from Ohio who should be doing something for his constituents. Making up stories isn't that! What an asshole embarrassment he is to Ohio. Even worse that Gym Jordan.
Truly shows Ohio is supporting ignorant politicians! They sure are shoving Bernie Merino down our throats! Another ignorant useless a-hole! Vote 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Our niece is a student there and they are scared! Totally pissing me off with all this crazy bullshit. Now that are saying Africans are eating dogs in Dayton. WTFF? Vance is an idiot!
Sicking isnt Jeff .tRump lost the debate and is taking the Haitian down with him. Definitely tRump trouncing time. We must hand him the defeat he and jd deserve.
I'm blonde blue eyed& the granddaughter of German & Scandinavian immigrants. I KNOW , I would not be safe either, because I'm a lifelong Liberal Democrat, childfree , nevermarried animal lover .A NATIONAL THREAT, according to TwiX , You Tube &
That was my thought too, they can't go directly for Jewish people, so they start with some other group, and work their way through groups of "others" first. But the goal is always going there.
Imagine being half Jewish and growing up in a part of the country with a massive Klan presence... I can still see and hear my grandfather sitting me down and telling me to tell no one. He witnessed a Klan lynching in 1925. It is about 100 years later and it appears some of us have not learned the lessons of the past...
I found out we were Jewish when I was 8. I overheard an argument between him and my Great Grandfather after an aunt on the other side of the family made a snide antisemitic comment and my Great Grandfather let her have it. I know being Jewish comes down a continuous female line and my Jewish side is my Mother’s paternal side - but it colored my whole life from that point on and all the other members of my generation when our parents had to tell us. I’m proud of my heritage but, I don’t talk about it in public- not here in the deep South.
I'm sorry the disgusting flyer upset you. We are all mad as hell, but for some this hits your heart harder. We are glad you're here. Hang in there. 💐🧑🤝🧑👫👭❤️
It should make everyone’s heart clench. But it will not stand. Too many of us are with you in despising their hatred. We won’t sit with our hands folded.
“my aunt’s cousin has a neighbor who heard from his brother that someone he knows told him about a Haitian illegal who shoved an entire cat up his nostril” Dear God...😂😂😂
"nothing says we’re here to fuck migrant shit up more than a badly-fitting pair of cargo shorts."😂
Republicans suck. Period.
Traveling yesterday through rural Missouri I saw more Harris/Walz signs than I even thought possible. This is a good sign. Not saying we'll win Missouri, but a dent is being made. GOTTA VOTE!
Now the test will be my trip to SW Iowa in October - I didn't see anything but Trump signs for the last 150 miles in 2016, but a couple 4 Biden in 2020.
I read today (forgot where so I can’t link it) that the polling gap in Iowa has shrunk dramatically. There was an 18 point gap in June that has now shrank to 4 points. This gives me hope you will see more Harris signs this go around!!
Now I'm wound up about Iowa - though its entire congressional delegation is R, a couple of those House seats were very narrow losses for Dems. Iowa was really pretty blue/purple until 2016. So now, through their powers of revulsion alone, Donny Convict & just divans have cut their own lead from 18 pts to 4. Just imagine if there was an actual Prez campaign presence there to organize on the ground.
Iowa, like Florida, went for Obama twice. IMHO it's insane to focus on so called swing states only. There will never be a new D majority if we cede the territory in advance.
I have to believe Iowa is redeemable, if for no other reason that I'd feel slightly less guilty about my mom's life there as a Democrat.
Today Haitians. Tomorrow is anyone’s guess. Muslims, Jews, Hispanics, LGBTQ, Asians, native Americans, the handicapped, etc. we’re all in this together folks.
And it's anyone who has less power, money, status, or agency. It's unadulterated bullying, a manifestation of their bigotry and hatreds. They need to look at themselves and figure out their own hangups. Most of these type will never do that, IMHO.
No, they need to be FORCED to confront their issues, and PUNISHED for their hate.
And their children taken away from them so we can re-educate them to be human being rather than MAGAts. Just like we did to baby Nazi Skippy Homeier in TOMORROW, THE WORLD.
Excellent! But I want the fucken lightning baby , this shit calls for action in defense of this country ! These pigs are ready to be pork chops and bacon !🥓 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
It's expecting way too much to think they would look inward. Why should they? Since Reagan they have been given permission to crank out hate with no repercussions.
JD Vance straight up admits to making up the eating cats and dogs hoax to get the media to talk about immigration.
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."
JD should be sued by the city of Springfield, Ohio for the cost of extra law enforcement required due to his lie as well as local businesses that lost customers.
Which unfortunately is not a thing BUT he can be censured by the Senate. So it's worth a call to your reps on that, even though it feels like weak sauce.
If Sundowning Grandpa Befuddlepants hasn't yet figured out that Shady Couch will be using the 25th Amendment the day the last Cabinet member is confirmed, he's dumber than he looks and acts. Shady's not going to wait until the felon dies or goes to prison, or until the 2028 election (we won't be having). He's going to get rid of the felon on the grounds of incompetence, and lordy, there are tapes.
I agree The Judas Disciple Vance is going to sellout his master as soon as he’s finished establishing himself as the heir apparent …then stick the knife deeper into the heart of our democracy !
That it could be worse, she could be a Muslim living in India right now...? 🤷♂️
Or maybe, with her family being part of the Brahmin caste despite her being born in San Diego, she's delighted Modi's persecuting the Muslims—which would explain how she can tolerate her husband turning into a regular little Hitler!
She always voted Democratic before, though. I think she is caught in trying to support her husband, who morphed into being a maga for power (remember when he called trump "America's Hitler? That was the guy she married.
Ethereal fairy Natalie—I don't see those as being inconsistent. She voted Democrat before because her family's not White and...Republicans tend to be bigots, especially against "brown people", and practiced law at a CA firm "with a progressive work culture". (All quotes courtesy The Bouffant of All Knowledge, Wikipedia.)
OTOH, she's always kept her options open, clerking for Right Wing judges like John Roberts and Brent Kavanagh, and when she and Vance were at Yale in 2013, they "collaborated to organize a discussion group at Yale focused on 'social decline in white America'."
Like her husband, I suspect she's less political than opportunistic, and will go with whichever side offers the biggest advantage at the moment.
Yeah, both she and her husband were highly influenced by Tiger Mom Amy Chua, who had a connection to Kavanaugh, sending clerks his way. And it was she who convinced Vance to write his self serving book Hillbilly Bullshittery, ooops, Elegy.
You may be right, I see her as a woman who by virtue of voting for democratic candidates, is not evil. If she was a republican, I would agree. I see her as young, and naive, not the first democratic woman to fall for a con-artist- soulless, power-junkie republican turned maga.
Trump's new squeeze, Loomer, came up with the crack about the White House smelling like curry if Kamala is elected -- a comment which was too racist even for MTG. Has Loomer also pointed out that if Trump is elected, Blair House would be occupied by an Indian-American?
JD is just a completely amoral, self-centered piece of shite. He thinks his best chances at power, fame and money lie with sucking up to one of the most racist and corrupt Republicans in recent history, so he abandons any principles he ever had to be a cheerleader for Trump. Had he seen a path to power and money on the Democratic side, he would have sounded more like a male version Elizabeth Warren.
It should be amazing that he made up a rumor about a place he represents, but those Ivy Leaguers aren't necessarily know for common sense. He better hope the V.P. gig works out, otherwise Ohio will wreak electoral revenge on him in 2028.
Every single time this rotting gourd of a one man crime spree gets called out for his harebrained lies, he doubles down because, of course he can’t be wrong about anything…. And his drooling MAGA sycophants amplify the shit out of it, because they know dear leader can’t be wrong, and then the worst of the worst of the morons saddle up to have some fun terrorizing the innocents. It’s long overdue for these assholes to get shut down. And for dear leader to be a bitter memory, seeing out his sentence for espionage and sedition in Leavenworth or wherever they decide to park his lard ass.
Damn straight it is ! By the by how’s the attempted earssasination investigation going ?It isn’t quite the giant story all the other Presidential hit jobs seemed to have been …has something about it caused it to be a questionable story ? Trump being the hound for publicity that he is .. one wound think that that very incredible act of bravery on his part would be on his anus like lips for at least another decade ! How very un Donald ! Is someone talking out of school ?🤔🤫🤐
Wondering if BFF Putie is upset and is giving him a taste of the terrorizing Putie could unleash. Maybe Iran. Maybe a real patriot who, like us, can't deal with the CRAZY. Gets turd attention he craves. We MUST FOCUS: #TARIFFS #Project2025, his alarming mental decline, Kamala throwing him into freeway traffic.
Dump isn't smart enough to connect the dots, but Nazi Ghoul Stephen Miller is and has Trump's ear. If this escalates to the immigrants fighting back, and spreads (which, trust me, is very much the plan), then Trump has his riots . He wants the chaos because then we get, "Only I can fix it."
Which is bullshit. The premise of the lies is too fucking ridiculous for words, but the response is not. "Come to Springfield. Will be wild."
Hopefully he’s talking into his bullet mangled ear ( such a brave pumpkin 🎃 head ) and he didn’t hear him ! Hey! if Miller has his ear maybe that’s a new one on his ugly melon and that’s why nobody has seen any lobe damage from that ghastly ass ass ination attempt !
All of this just makes me so fucking angry - I feel helpless, because what can we do besides vote these brain-dead haters out??? The KKK and the Proud Bois can fuck straight off to Hell. I am so angry that I am shaking, this is NOT good for my blood pressure, but something needs to be done!
Becky, Where are the damn arrests! The FBI should be pulling these asswipes out of their homes and throwing them in prison to await trial. Does the fact that they are not doing this mean we have ABSOLUTELY NO ONE to depend on in law! Will the judges block their punishment!!? WTF!
I feel the exact same way - that Springfield has become a lawless mess, because these are undoubtedly Republicans causing this trouble and no one wants to be the one to finger them, because they are the same kind of people. And meanwhile, Trump goes on his merry way, having started a conflagration that is rapidly spreading, thanks to both him and Couchfuck. This is exactly why I am so frustrated and furious! 🔥🔥🔥
Aren't the proud boys + nazis in the terrorists lists? Yeah, freedom to assemble, of speech. But they are there to terrorize people. Where's the FBI, DOJ, police?
I'm making some calls today to see if there's an event in the Twin Cities in support of Springfield and it needs to be celebratory of the cmty, not some candlelight bullshit. If there isn't, I'm going to try to organize one.
I'm with you, it makes me sick, it makes me want to fight! I know I can't count on swing state people to get over this trump bullshit because they are in a brainwashed cult -I am deeply worried about what's happening here.
Catherine, the far right owns almost every media conglomerate in our country. That’s part of the plan. They NEED us to believe that this is close! I don’t believe it is. But w need a tsunami of voters to sweep in Democrats from the top down in every state! We need to wipe them out to make changes and arrests, impeachments that result in removal (SCOTUS, Congress members). And then we must never forget how we got here and never let it happen again.
This is both so heartbreaking and terrifying. How is this happening in 2024? And how are the polls still so fucking close? Wtf is wrong with people????
I'm not sure they really are, and I blame the media. For instance the NYT polls have been called out for oversampling republicans and rural people. This article is old but it gives an idea of the sleight of hand needed to "tweak" a poll.
The polls AREN’T close! The right wing owns almost every media conglomerate! Who do you think puts the polls out. The media is funded by trumpers. They are doing their job by normalizing the 34-count felon, rapist, seditionist. Biden won by 8 million BEFORE J6, reversal of Roe V Wade, 34-felony convictions, being found guilty of rape! Do you really think MORE people suddenly want trump!?
I don't, but I read the comment sections of news articles - I'm telling you, there's a ton of trumpers, they love it and are so dumb and thug like/hateful/cruel, it's not going to change. It's chilling. It's truly fucked. I'm looking into getting my passport updated, so is my sister. I'm going to do what I can to help the Harris/walz campaign and volunteer to work/help at the voting places, if there's fuckery, I at least want to be a witness, or help to keep voter intimidation at bay.
I can hardly enjoy You Tube now. Cute pet videos (pre Springfield) -- buncha maga's posting, despite the subject. Well, I mean I don't enjoy the comments. Even in dance videos. Agree, unbelievably hateful, cruel. smh
It's that time in the election cycle where they spawn, and start their divisive bullshit like 'texit ' or 'Calexit' all of which was found to have been started by Eastern European bot working in a Russian troll farm. Then then get amplified on social media by local morons.
I have fucking had it with this racist gaggle of fuck for brains terrorist network operating with absolute impunity. donald fuckwaste is a national disgrace and ANY supporter of his is by now a willing accomplice in the war he wages against America. After 8+ years there are zero fucking excuses for this chicken shit loser group of casual Friday Nazis. None. You know who Donald is and you approve his message. Period.
Well-Dana is trying to make up for her incompetence during the debate?? Kudos to the Springfield community for helping the Haitian people. Wake the hell up maggots!
The game plan for the gop, orange dildo and couchfuck mcgee is to create enough paranoia among Ohioans to get them to vote for a used car salesman and throw out longtime Senator Sherrod Brown. It’s all about the immigrants (which, BTW, is not a problem in Ohio, except we do not have enough of them to fill many of the jobs many of these assholes do not want). orange dildo is the idiot who killed the bipartisan immigration bill - not Joe Biden or Kamala or anyone in the gop. This is all about getting another maggot senator in Ohio so as to block anything the Dems try to do .
Great to hear! Sen Brown has been in MSNBC twice last week IIRC, onceon Lawrence, saying his GOP opponent has tons of money & he invites donations. I just sent another donation today to Sen Sherrod Brown.
Orange dildo is a great moniker, although it's questionable who actually would want him inside them, apart from Moscow Marj and Loony Loomer. Certainly Melania does not.
I think Murdoch still owns the NY Post as well as Sky News Australia, which is "other siding" fascism Down Under like it is here. Evidently, civil war sells media.
Murdoch also owns way more than he should including the WSJ. Here is a list.
. "By 1969, News Corp had bought the Daily Mirror in Sydney, launched a national newspaper, The Australian, and purchased newspapers The Sun and News of the World in the United Kingdom. Once referred to as the inventor of the ''modern tabloid,'' Murdoch's newspapers focused on eye-catching headlines that principally centered around stories of scandal and controversy, resulting in a spike in circulation. By 1973, Rupert Murdoch began a series of acquisitions in the United States including the San Antonio News, the Star in 1974, New York magazine, and the Chicago Sun-Times. He expanded to book publishing, acquiring Harper & Row in 1987, and later Collins, both subsequently merged to form HarperCollins. In 2007, Murdoch bought The Wall Street Journal parent company, Dow Jones for nearly $6 billion, ending a century of ownership by the wealthy Bancroft family. In 1985, News Corp purchased Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, and the studio subsequently produced two of the top-grossing films of all time, Titanic and Avatar. The company created the Fox Television Stations group, the foundation for the launch of FOX Broadcasting Company and FOX Sports.
FOX led the television industry for eight years, and in October 1996, News Corporation launched the FOX News Channel and established popular cable networks, such as FX and the National Geographic Channel.
In 2012, News Corp acquired Consolidated Media Holdings in Australia, and News Corp Australia is now a majority shareholder of Foxtel/FOX SPORTS Australia, which owns and operates Sky News Australia.
Murdoch has been the executive chairman of News Corp since 2013, when News Corporation separated into two distinct, publicly traded companies, News Corp and 21st Century Fox. In March 2019, Rupert Murdoch sold his share of 21st Century Fox along with other media assets to the Walt Disney Company for $71.3 billion.
I'm no fan of Dana Basch but she certainly put Vance on the spot today. What an utterly vile little creep he is. I'm proud to say that I never was taken in by his stupid hillbilly screed and when the book was first published tried to convince friends and family who were ooh-ing and aah-ing over it that it was cynical exaggeration and exploitation. That aged well.
Yeah me too, I figured he was doing the "Tiger-Mom" lady and she ghost-wrote it for him, she even picked out his wife for him. And told him not to dump her when he was going to move away.
Ohio gov Mike DeWine just called the hate-mongering against Haitians "unhelpful," so there's at least one Republican with some extremely tepid criticism
and now Maria Bartiromo — of all people — is fact-checking Tom Cotton live on TV. gee, maybe we've reached a tipping point https://www.threads.net/@tomwellborn3/post/C_8RfPkPWja
Tipping points are exactly what I thought of the other night when Dana Bash defended her lack of fact-checking during an MSNBC interview. She was protesting pretty loudly considering SHE brought it up. And now exercising her duty to push back … It hasn’t yet reached “have you no sense of decency, sir” level, but a few more weeks of incessant calling out from Jeff and every other fed up truth teller and we might get there.
Remember — this shit is not gonna cease or desist after the election. If anything it will be even more important for ALL OF US to push back and make it clear we’re not accepting another shot at them installing their king. There’s gonna be a new POTUS in town, and next time she won’t hold her tongue or that book we should’ve thrown at him 4 years ago.
I'm most excited about the kicking of Merrick Garland to the curb. I get why Old Handsome Joe Biden couldn't do it, but it's been time for him to go since, oh, Jan. 30, 2021 or so.
& DeJoy
Only the postal board can kick DeJoy out, but if they can get the last two vacancies on the board filled, they should be able to do it, that depends on keeping the Senate.
Biden filled all the vacancies with Dems, and had enough to remove DeJoy, but they didn't do it! DeJoy must have won at least one of them over to his side!
YES.
Agreed funnyhaha! However, Garland immediately started an investigation into trump’s meeting with his coterie the night before the incident of malaise at the capital… Bill Barr in his typical treasonous fashion of Irangate and Bush’s Iran-Contra crimes, killed that investigation! Mueller she wrote’s investigation and article clearly states the truth, check it out at her Substack. Knowing Barr had put his cronies in positions at the Justice Department, coupled with judicial branches, FBI etc. Garland had to run a cloak and dagger investigation, without any of Trump or Barr’s knowledge before any action could be taken.
Garland is working the Russian end again check out the status kuo on substack.
excited? ❤️ did you read or hear about them kicking him to the curb? That sounds too good to be true...before I get excited with you, who is kicking him to the curb? Or did you meant the "hope" of 'them' kicking him to the curb...It is something that should have been done 4 years ago. !! 😊
Good points. However, I feel like this country has gone way beyond the "have you no sense of decency." We need to remove this diseased sleaze from our lives. Remember in November.
Him and his freaky looking father should have been jailed back in the 70s for the illegal shit that they were doing in the real estate redlining business!
Sans mention of mob connections and money laundering!
You got that right Patrick ,That too as well as other bogus shit that will surely come out eventually! He wanted to be the head of a sixth family in NY …The bastard was insane back then !
And the tax evasion, etc--criminal family--even his sister, the Federal Judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, was corrupt!
Legacy media, and every other journalistic outlet should go Joseph Welch on these degenerates every hour and every day up to November 5th - relentlessly. Find some level of integrity, backbone or guts already. There is no f'ing bottom for these people. I'm quite angry
Jeff is doing good works Scott dworkin is slamming CNN on social media hard core.
Mike DeWine is UNBALLSFUL
LOL good one!
I remember when DeWine first hit the news in the 1980's during Iran-Contra and was the era's equivalent of Gym Jordan (though he kept his jacket on.) In the decades since, he seems to have calmed down somewhat, which means maybe there's hope for Jordan.
I seriously doubt that
Nah. She is having a "momentary lapse of reason." (Pink Floyd reference of the day)
Aye! H12thDoc…A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart
That I would nay fall but as dead, dead as a can be by his feet;
Ee ya ken?...and the wind cried back.
Amid the delicate sound of thunder.
RW lying reminds how divided America is, how unity has been destroyed. It’s us and them.
Is it possible the TV "news" companies are losing so many subscribers over this shit that some top brass type somewhere decided it's time to do something (other than continue mindlessly shoveling all the $$$$ the persistent shit-stench generates into their pockets)?
I agree....they need the needle moving towards the green light and not the red....
as soon as they get comfortable again, their pro-trump bigotry will continue...not a damn fucking one those corporate maga broadcast owners is having any heart or sympathy...they are watching their ratings
Holy shit, I haven't watched "TV News" unless it was forced on me in waiting rooms and airports. I can only sigh when I get accused of watching CNN.
Don't watch news except NPR and sometimes BBC. The Brits have a better handle on us than our TV news.
Same here (or anything else, for that matter)! Why in the hell do the operators of public places assume that everyone wants human yammering broadcast at them every-fucking-where?? Even at the damn gas pumps?!! 🤬
For a few days anyway?
Fox must smell another lawsuit, because that's the only thing that could bring her back to any sort of reality.
I thought maybe now that CNN has taken a chunk of Fox's audiences, perhaps is FOX now trying to become CNN? They are flip flopping viewers to game the ratings system...who TF knows.
Oh that’s an easy one look at who owns CNN, Robert Malone a Murdoch crony. Fox, on the other hand is sick of being called out for bad behavior (and outright lies) so they are keeping things less inflammatory, Murdoch’s son Lachlan is running it now, so different style, but still damaging to polite society.

😲😲
Thanks for the information, Jeff. Truth is the enemy of GOP lies. All of us who are disgusted with tfg and Shady JD will try to straighten out this hateful mess they’ve caused with unfounded rumors, and unchecked “facts”.
Or did the insurance people and the Fox lawyers get to Bartiromo first? Follow the money, honey!
.
THANK YOU JEFF for fighting this evil bigoted hate, for calling it out. May your platform's readership of sensible decent people only grow. You're getting some of my household money for the foreseeable future, dude! DO carry on
Rather dubious Jeff, considering the Uber-wealthy own the media!
The Singularity?
Is that the sound of Hell freezing over?
It would be nice to think so.
Unhelpful, my ass! These are terroristic threats and intimidation to the nth degree. ARREST THEM!
I want to see the words "MAGA Terrorists" start showing up in the reporting.
Damn right. It’s long past time to treat them like the criminals they are.
Yes, counterlife, I think we should start a trend. #MAGAterrorists
Terroristic threatening is a crime. WTF, do something, powers that be.
It is indeed:
Title 18, U.S.C., Section 249 - Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act
It’s a Federal Crime albeit many states have state regulations. The states cause confusion.
Federal trumps State
Bobby Kennedy sent the National Guard.
The OG Bobby did some good things. The current version does a lot of weird things. Not a chip off the old block
OH Gov Mike DeWine: Let's DEMAND action!
X: @GovMikeDeWine
Email: https://governor.ohio.gov/contact?s=09
Phone: 614-466-3555
Anyone have his IG?
Emailed a very nice request asking him to get the situation in Springfield under control and to tamp down the racism. Of course I have little hope that he will actually do anything, since it’s Republican actors causing it, but at least I tried.
If enough people speak out ... Let's do this!!
I left a message for the governor. Let's all do it.
Thanks for the info!
Just sent him an email about protecting his constituents.
My email to DeWine:
Governor DeWine, I am writing from Yellow Springs (your home town, I believe), 10 miles from Springfield. I ask you to do more to help and defend the city as a whole, and the legal Haitian immigrants/refugees in particular. Trump and Vance -- one of our senators! -- are making baseless claims about the Haitian population there, and it could lead to violence. I moved here from Michigan 6 months ago, and I am impressed by the natural beauty and good quality of life in SW Ohio. But the fact that our own senator is attacking us, instead of defending us, is something I have never experienced in any other state I've lived in, including Michigan, Illinois, and California. Please do more to counter the destructive claims being made by our so-called representative in the Senate, JD Vance. I would like a response from your office, please. Thank you, (name)
✅ Done! Thank you for suggesting this - great idea. Let's all flood his office with demands for decency and courage to stand up, speak out and fight back against this dangerous campaign of racist hatred.
Does not even do justice to the word understatement
It is time to call Trump out. He is a terrorist.
Isn’t shouting fire in a crowded theater against the law? Where the fuck is Merrick Garland?
From Hugo Lowell:
Several Trump aides sound privately relieved today that the attention on Laura Loomer and JD Vance doubling down on immigrants eating pets has wiped Trump’s debate disaster stories off the news coverage, which shows that they knew it was bad.
Pete was right.
Well, now a second assassination attempt grabs the news. Lots to learn about that?
A mentally disturbed 60 year old man, a Republican, was hiding in the woods near the golf course. He never shot his high powered rifle, but the secret service agent shot at the man who jumped in a car and drove away, but was caught.
His name is Ryan Routh and he wanted Vivek to run for president.
Another distraction for chaos. 🙄
Well, Vance doubling down on the pet-eating actually revived memes about Trump spouting that crap at the debate. A shooting though will suck all the oxygen out of every other story for a while.
It won’t last long because it wasn’t an assassination attempt.
Of course. And this looks like a practice run for voting days.
The mayors “federals” comment equally as tepid
They "inadvertently cause harm" the dipstick mayor knows it is on purpose, but knows he will become a Maga target if he calls out the Orange felon.
While that is true, the Ohio Attorney General is a maga freak and he’s the one who is ultimately responsible for holding people responsible.
Gee thanks Howdy Doody.
Ha! Ohioan here. Tepid is about the best adjective you apply to our governor.
Not even piss warm in an Olympic pool !
Ha! That's funny!
Mike DeWine’s acknowledgment is the kind of response some moms say to their kids: “wait till daddy comes home, he’ll deal with you. It’s called saying and doing “sweet f*ck all”.
DeWine wants to say the claims are just silly stuff, on the level of JD's supposed sofaphilia. The difference, of course, is that no human gets hurt by the couchfucking memes, and a lot of people get hurt when you unleash stochastist terrorism against Black immigrants.
Wow, DeWine went so far as to use the word unhelpful? Has a faint ring of Susan Collins, my namby-pamby Senator. If DeWine couldn’t out-and-out excoriate Trump and Vance for playing their domestic terrorism games, Ohioans are on their own.
--for fuck’s sake, MAGA — leave these poor people alone. haven’t they already suffered enough?--
This assumes that MAGA can be compassionate and conscientious.
While physically similar to human beings, they and their cheerleaders are not.
As an aside, I do hope that the prOwD BoYz continue to wander in small packs. Through parking lots with clear lines of sight from a distance. So they can be "surveilled." While waddling through unobstructed areas with tall rooftops. In towns with lots of minorities they've been threatening or terrorizing. And marginalized so thoroughly that they feel like they have nothing to lose.
So they can "watch" the Proud Boys.
Unhelpful is a very unhelpful word to describe this train wreck of assholeishness.
And he's considered one of the better republicans. Blech.
Wow.
I don't have the words for how...eloquent that criticism is.
Just...wow.
Well that's special...
Another coward
"Unhelpful."
Move over MLK, there's a new sheriff in town! 🤪
this just in: Wittenberg University in Springfield is on lockdown right now
https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-california/news/2024/09/15/trump-vance-springfield-ohio-wittenberg-university-haitians
Absolutely sickening. I would like to be the first person to slap a large piece of strapping tape across Trump’s big mouth. And Couch McFuck’s, too. They will stop at NOTHING. There is no bottom, with them.
And we're paying the Secret Service to protect Trump and Vance while they're trying to start a war.
I'm horrified at what these freedom fighters or gop or tea party or whatever they rebrand themselves as. I can't wait until this nightmare is over.
My heart hurts for all people of color, creed, ethnicity, sexual orientation/ preference in America.
America is supposed to be where we all live together in peace and prosperity.
OMG‼️ WE are paying for SS - and they are threatening their CONSTITUENTS 🤬
Why the fuck would anyone stay in a job where you might have to take bullet for these two despicable, vile, corrupt, “human” sewers?!
I’m hoping some patriot will get so disgusted with this Nazi regime in waiting that he/ she will put an end to it in the old fashioned way et tu Brute ?
I get that. And I’ve felt it. And I’ve been astonished that in the last nine years I’ve grown to hate another creature on this earth so much that I regularly wish them dead. I remember the attempt on Reagan. I did not like him, but it was sobering. My reaction both in July and yesterday, has been — is he dead? I hope this will end well, we will save our country and I might regain some of my humanity.
I wonder if it ever occurs to Trump that he is truly the most hated man on earth, and that many people don’t really care if he lives or dies. Probably not, because he is convinced that everyone just LOVES him, but in his darker moments, I just wonder….. I am glad he is okay, but only because of the violence that would have been unleashed if this second guy had been successful in getting him. We don’t want civil war, especially over such an idiot as the Melon Felon is.
It’s hardly wrong to wish for a malignancy to be destroyed ! Trump is a malignant cancer imbedded in the political and moral heart of this country and as so cutting 🪚it and him out is nothing but a natural survival mechanism! 🇺🇸
Can you imagine taking a bullet for one of these two vile creatures? Better to use them as a shield.
The giant orange lard ass could absorb a cannon blast 💥 with his cheeseburger fat cells 😉😂
Do the world a favor and tape the nose shut too.
Maybe they could tape their brown holes shut until they eventually explode. I might even pay to see that.
Vote Blue - make America America again.
The problem with that idea is— poop 💩 will find a way.
What a lovely thought. I am sure no one will mind if I use an extra large piece!!!
Tape won't stop these two despicable racist bastards from spreading their message of hate. Hope Judge Merchan and all of the rest of those involved in the prosecution judiciary process are paying close attention. The fact that inhuman fuck is still out there doing the same shit that he's still awaiting trial for is incomprehensible.
/should be incomprehensible.
But Donny is a Very Special Boy.
I prefer a fist to both of their pieces holes!😡😡
Pie holes.(Fucking autocorrect!)
Diaper Donnie apparently lobbed another grenade on his crappy app, saying in all caps: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT".
He's trying to mislead the media to another shiny object!
He needs to be put in a padded cell!🤬
Where the fuck is the FBI? Oh right, donald has special privileges because..?
Jeff's already told us.
He's a Very Special Boy.
Sorry for a accidental repeat above.
It always bears repeating!
I'm guessing someone is tracing the origin of those email threats right now. All the emails have to do is ping themselves at some point from another state and the FBI can be on it, full bore. They generally don't TELL people they are doing it. So they may be already on it.
Motherfuckers!!😡 I live 50 miles from Springfield. They've had struggles, but it's a nice little city that doesn't deserve this bullshit.
EVEN IF half of the things they're claiming were happening - and of course they aren't - what does calling in bomb threats to hospitals do to solve anything? These have got to be some of the goddamn dumbest chunks of matter on the planet.
That sounds like that nasty Chaia Raicick person, the bomb threats to public places are usually her influence.
Fits the MO certainly!
The whole nasty maga play book disrupt anything you can.
Yeah, I don't get the bomb threats. Don't know what it has to do with anything.
We human beings are set up to emote first and ask questions afterwards. If someone tells us there's a danger, we are set up to fight or flight. This is because our Paleolithic ancestors had real existential threats to deal with— lions, tigers, bears, snakes.
So, Donnie convict yells Haitians! And we human beings have to work double hard to realize he is yanking a phony chain.
I must confess I have only known one Haitian in my entire life, but I have known thousands of Hispanics, so telling me Hispanics are a danger just makes me laugh.
Montreal has the largest population of Haitian immigrants in Canada - 83%. They have great sense of humor, love to sing and enjoy life and bring a different perspective to everyday life to this grand city. Hell, even Michaelle Jean, born in Port-au-Prince was appointed Canada’s 27th Governor General, the King of England’s representative in our country. We were proud to have her represent 🇨🇦.
I forgot until yesterday that the White House spokesperson has Haitian roots.
Yes, Karine Jean-Pierre was born in Martinique to Haitian parents.
And she's a cutie pie 💙
Isn't she though, and proudly out!
You still have me blocked from liking your comments. Can you reconsider?
We shouldn't work double hard to recognize hate. We overcome base tendencies as we grow and learn. Try to scare me with hate, it doesn't work.
Good insights. I believe we can move past that, but it takes time... 💙💙💙
The most interesting part of that story, apart from the threat, is this quote from JD Vance:
""If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do," Vance said on CNN, later adding "I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media focusing on it."
"Create stories." Full on Nazi demonization.
This quote from Dumbass JD really pisses me off! He's a do nothing senator from Ohio who should be doing something for his constituents. Making up stories isn't that! What an asshole embarrassment he is to Ohio. Even worse that Gym Jordan.
Truly shows Ohio is supporting ignorant politicians! They sure are shoving Bernie Merino down our throats! Another ignorant useless a-hole! Vote 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
🎯Otherwise known as propaganda.
I can't help but think about these Haitian American children who now have to attend school in this hateful atmosphere.
💔😭💔
Our niece is a student there and they are scared! Totally pissing me off with all this crazy bullshit. Now that are saying Africans are eating dogs in Dayton. WTFF? Vance is an idiot!
Vance isn’t an idiot. He knows what he’s doing by inciting violence against the peaceful Haitian community. He’s a piece of racist and fascist shit!
Sadly, these a-holes could have targeted any small town in the country.
Neo nazis set up shop in Leith ND until the community succeeded in running them out of town.
Well, the leaders of a major political party pointed them at a certain small town.
😩😭 ENOUGH!!!!
WTF? Do they want another Kent State?
Yes.
well, but only if they can up the death toll. At Kent State, it was only four students.
AAARRRGHH! I'm getting full of rage. I'll do the only thing at hand: write more postcards. Seems too small, but we do what we can.
Sicking isnt Jeff .tRump lost the debate and is taking the Haitian down with him. Definitely tRump trouncing time. We must hand him the defeat he and jd deserve.
Gotta tell you...I'm white, but as a Jew, that flyer made my fucking heart clench.
I know, right? "first they came for the Haitians" ...
Yepppppp.
I'm blonde blue eyed& the granddaughter of German & Scandinavian immigrants. I KNOW , I would not be safe either, because I'm a lifelong Liberal Democrat, childfree , nevermarried animal lover .A NATIONAL THREAT, according to TwiX , You Tube &
FB.
That was my thought too, they can't go directly for Jewish people, so they start with some other group, and work their way through groups of "others" first. But the goal is always going there.
I am the daughter of Holocaust victims and yes, itt made my stomach turn.
*it*
Imagine being half Jewish and growing up in a part of the country with a massive Klan presence... I can still see and hear my grandfather sitting me down and telling me to tell no one. He witnessed a Klan lynching in 1925. It is about 100 years later and it appears some of us have not learned the lessons of the past...
No, we have not. Worse yet, to some these occurrences are part of their "heritage." There's a word I am starting to despise.
I had someone on FB tell me that the Confederate flag stood for Southern pride, not slavery. She was serious. No accounting for stupid.
Stephen Miller learned, all right, he learned to emulate the monsters. Because he is a sick one.
How old were you when he told you this?
I found out we were Jewish when I was 8. I overheard an argument between him and my Great Grandfather after an aunt on the other side of the family made a snide antisemitic comment and my Great Grandfather let her have it. I know being Jewish comes down a continuous female line and my Jewish side is my Mother’s paternal side - but it colored my whole life from that point on and all the other members of my generation when our parents had to tell us. I’m proud of my heritage but, I don’t talk about it in public- not here in the deep South.
It made mine clench and I'm an atheist. And we atheists are more numerous than they know, and we WILL be here for our fellow citizens.
Amen! (is there an atheist corresponding term for that?)
RAMEN ! 🍜 From the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER " church ".
“Thank You!” works for me.
Hear hear!
I'm sorry the disgusting flyer upset you. We are all mad as hell, but for some this hits your heart harder. We are glad you're here. Hang in there. 💐🧑🤝🧑👫👭❤️
It should make everyone’s heart clench. But it will not stand. Too many of us are with you in despising their hatred. We won’t sit with our hands folded.
This column is the best part of my day:
“my aunt’s cousin has a neighbor who heard from his brother that someone he knows told him about a Haitian illegal who shoved an entire cat up his nostril” Dear God...😂😂😂
"nothing says we’re here to fuck migrant shit up more than a badly-fitting pair of cargo shorts."😂
Republicans suck. Period.
Traveling yesterday through rural Missouri I saw more Harris/Walz signs than I even thought possible. This is a good sign. Not saying we'll win Missouri, but a dent is being made. GOTTA VOTE!
Voting is everything at this point!! And remind everyone you can to check their voter registration. The trumpers are in full purge mode.
I mentioned that people should check to see if they haven’t been purged.
You can look up your voter registration record and verify that your information is correct using New Jersey's voter registration lookup tool.
Remember if they say you’re not registered at the polls demand a provisional ballot. Don’t let them talk you down.
You can look up your voter registration record and verify that your information is correct using New Jersey's voter registration lookup tool.
IF you have to use a provisional ballot, make sure there isn't anything additional you need to do to have it count.
In my case she irked me so badly I left. If had been a different story if it was a Presidential election.
Just sent a donation off to Texas via voto Latino because the repthugs are purging as fast as they can.
this texan can’t thank you enough!!
You ROCK!
👆👆👆
Same here in traditionally GOP Grove City, Oh. The worm is turning.
I have 200 postcards going to Ohio in October! 🤞🏼
Through the campaign directly or another organization? Do you mind sharing the info?
It was through ‘Progressive Voter Turnout’
(turnoutpac.org) They provided the postcards, messages, and addresses. I provide the stamps.
👍👍
🙏
Now the test will be my trip to SW Iowa in October - I didn't see anything but Trump signs for the last 150 miles in 2016, but a couple 4 Biden in 2020.
I read today (forgot where so I can’t link it) that the polling gap in Iowa has shrunk dramatically. There was an 18 point gap in June that has now shrank to 4 points. This gives me hope you will see more Harris signs this go around!!
Now I'm wound up about Iowa - though its entire congressional delegation is R, a couple of those House seats were very narrow losses for Dems. Iowa was really pretty blue/purple until 2016. So now, through their powers of revulsion alone, Donny Convict & just divans have cut their own lead from 18 pts to 4. Just imagine if there was an actual Prez campaign presence there to organize on the ground.
Iowa, like Florida, went for Obama twice. IMHO it's insane to focus on so called swing states only. There will never be a new D majority if we cede the territory in advance.
I have to believe Iowa is redeemable, if for no other reason that I'd feel slightly less guilty about my mom's life there as a Democrat.
Ohio are were for Obama twice, and freaking INDIANA went for Obama in 2008.
Good. I'll be in MO next week. I was really nervous about this trip, but you've made me feel a little better.
It would be startling if MO went blue, but we would love it! ❤️
Susan N ftw 🙌‼️
Today Haitians. Tomorrow is anyone’s guess. Muslims, Jews, Hispanics, LGBTQ, Asians, native Americans, the handicapped, etc. we’re all in this together folks.
Liberals…Democrats…anyone who donated money to blue campaigns.
Trump and the MAGAts have gone after ALL of those groups.
Anyone who is different they hate.
And it's anyone who has less power, money, status, or agency. It's unadulterated bullying, a manifestation of their bigotry and hatreds. They need to look at themselves and figure out their own hangups. Most of these type will never do that, IMHO.
No, they need to be FORCED to confront their issues, and PUNISHED for their hate.
And their children taken away from them so we can re-educate them to be human being rather than MAGAts. Just like we did to baby Nazi Skippy Homeier in TOMORROW, THE WORLD.
As Wyatt Earp told Ike Clanton.... https://youtu.be/kHLb-pq_8Gs?si=4UMrceY6tRU9zEmG
Excellent! But I want the fucken lightning baby , this shit calls for action in defense of this country ! These pigs are ready to be pork chops and bacon !🥓 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Better yet, CHUM.
It's expecting way too much to think they would look inward. Why should they? Since Reagan they have been given permission to crank out hate with no repercussions.
That's why we need to FORCE them, Hannah Olufs.
They've already targeted WOMEN.
Why do they keep missing? Suspicious as hell.
Anyone will do for distraction purposes by tRumps maga's
Women?
JD Vance straight up admits to making up the eating cats and dogs hoax to get the media to talk about immigration.
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."
https://x.com/esqueer_/status/1835321899116577206?s=46
JD should be sued by the city of Springfield, Ohio for the cost of extra law enforcement required due to his lie as well as local businesses that lost customers.
And recalled as Senator of Ohio
Which unfortunately is not a thing BUT he can be censured by the Senate. So it's worth a call to your reps on that, even though it feels like weak sauce.
Great idea. Will contact my Sens.
As well as his partner in crime who usually comes out on the losing side of lawsuits these days.
Yes, exactly!!!!!!
If Sundowning Grandpa Befuddlepants hasn't yet figured out that Shady Couch will be using the 25th Amendment the day the last Cabinet member is confirmed, he's dumber than he looks and acts. Shady's not going to wait until the felon dies or goes to prison, or until the 2028 election (we won't be having). He's going to get rid of the felon on the grounds of incompetence, and lordy, there are tapes.
I agree The Judas Disciple Vance is going to sellout his master as soon as he’s finished establishing himself as the heir apparent …then stick the knife deeper into the heart of our democracy !
Nice job of representing and standing up for your constituents you couch molesting waste of a Senate seat.
That sleazy couchjammer.
I keep wondering what is going through his wife's mind. Seriously.
That it could be worse, she could be a Muslim living in India right now...? 🤷♂️
Or maybe, with her family being part of the Brahmin caste despite her being born in San Diego, she's delighted Modi's persecuting the Muslims—which would explain how she can tolerate her husband turning into a regular little Hitler!
She always voted Democratic before, though. I think she is caught in trying to support her husband, who morphed into being a maga for power (remember when he called trump "America's Hitler? That was the guy she married.
Ethereal fairy Natalie—I don't see those as being inconsistent. She voted Democrat before because her family's not White and...Republicans tend to be bigots, especially against "brown people", and practiced law at a CA firm "with a progressive work culture". (All quotes courtesy The Bouffant of All Knowledge, Wikipedia.)
OTOH, she's always kept her options open, clerking for Right Wing judges like John Roberts and Brent Kavanagh, and when she and Vance were at Yale in 2013, they "collaborated to organize a discussion group at Yale focused on 'social decline in white America'."
Like her husband, I suspect she's less political than opportunistic, and will go with whichever side offers the biggest advantage at the moment.
Yeah, both she and her husband were highly influenced by Tiger Mom Amy Chua, who had a connection to Kavanaugh, sending clerks his way. And it was she who convinced Vance to write his self serving book Hillbilly Bullshittery, ooops, Elegy.
You may be right, I see her as a woman who by virtue of voting for democratic candidates, is not evil. If she was a republican, I would agree. I see her as young, and naive, not the first democratic woman to fall for a con-artist- soulless, power-junkie republican turned maga.
Trump's new squeeze, Loomer, came up with the crack about the White House smelling like curry if Kamala is elected -- a comment which was too racist even for MTG. Has Loomer also pointed out that if Trump is elected, Blair House would be occupied by an Indian-American?
Clearly she's okay with it all.
She wouldn't be the first woman to marry a man who went full-blown Maga.
She obviously has INTERNALIZED MISOGYNY. What a limp, wet dish rag of a woman
I cannot fathom what her thought process and emotional content are
Usha: "Why did I listen to the stupid 'tiger mom, anyway? I was young and naive."
Same as Melonma citizenship and dead presidents !
JD is a total NAZI piece of shite.
JD is just a completely amoral, self-centered piece of shite. He thinks his best chances at power, fame and money lie with sucking up to one of the most racist and corrupt Republicans in recent history, so he abandons any principles he ever had to be a cheerleader for Trump. Had he seen a path to power and money on the Democratic side, he would have sounded more like a male version Elizabeth Warren.
He left out "demonize innocent people"
It should be amazing that he made up a rumor about a place he represents, but those Ivy Leaguers aren't necessarily know for common sense. He better hope the V.P. gig works out, otherwise Ohio will wreak electoral revenge on him in 2028.
He's the new Manchurian candidate
Wow 😲. I know politicians lie, but that asshole just admitted to making this shit up. He is dumber every time he opens his mouth.
Every single time this rotting gourd of a one man crime spree gets called out for his harebrained lies, he doubles down because, of course he can’t be wrong about anything…. And his drooling MAGA sycophants amplify the shit out of it, because they know dear leader can’t be wrong, and then the worst of the worst of the morons saddle up to have some fun terrorizing the innocents. It’s long overdue for these assholes to get shut down. And for dear leader to be a bitter memory, seeing out his sentence for espionage and sedition in Leavenworth or wherever they decide to park his lard ass.
Exactly. This the hill that the Trump campaign is willing to die on. Couldn't let the story fade away, rather they keep doubling down.
It’s to take attention away from his terrible debate performance.
Damn straight it is ! By the by how’s the attempted earssasination investigation going ?It isn’t quite the giant story all the other Presidential hit jobs seemed to have been …has something about it caused it to be a questionable story ? Trump being the hound for publicity that he is .. one wound think that that very incredible act of bravery on his part would be on his anus like lips for at least another decade ! How very un Donald ! Is someone talking out of school ?🤔🤫🤐
Exactly! Where is the media relentlessly probing the who-what-where-when-why of what was supposed to be an attempted murder? Bueller? Bueller?
Wondering if BFF Putie is upset and is giving him a taste of the terrorizing Putie could unleash. Maybe Iran. Maybe a real patriot who, like us, can't deal with the CRAZY. Gets turd attention he craves. We MUST FOCUS: #TARIFFS #Project2025, his alarming mental decline, Kamala throwing him into freeway traffic.
More likely a "real patriot" who doesn't think he's crazy enough about abortion or whatever.
Dump isn't smart enough to connect the dots, but Nazi Ghoul Stephen Miller is and has Trump's ear. If this escalates to the immigrants fighting back, and spreads (which, trust me, is very much the plan), then Trump has his riots . He wants the chaos because then we get, "Only I can fix it."
Which is bullshit. The premise of the lies is too fucking ridiculous for words, but the response is not. "Come to Springfield. Will be wild."
That cretin Drumpf couldn’t put new batteries in a flashlight, let alone fix
ANYTHING…
True, but his true believers want him to "fix" things by removing that which displeased them. Immigrants, thus...it's Miller time.
Hopefully he’s talking into his bullet mangled ear ( such a brave pumpkin 🎃 head ) and he didn’t hear him ! Hey! if Miller has his ear maybe that’s a new one on his ugly melon and that’s why nobody has seen any lobe damage from that ghastly ass ass ination attempt !
“Bullet mangled ear.”
I look at it like an ear piercing.
All of this just makes me so fucking angry - I feel helpless, because what can we do besides vote these brain-dead haters out??? The KKK and the Proud Bois can fuck straight off to Hell. I am so angry that I am shaking, this is NOT good for my blood pressure, but something needs to be done!
Becky, Where are the damn arrests! The FBI should be pulling these asswipes out of their homes and throwing them in prison to await trial. Does the fact that they are not doing this mean we have ABSOLUTELY NO ONE to depend on in law! Will the judges block their punishment!!? WTF!
I feel the exact same way - that Springfield has become a lawless mess, because these are undoubtedly Republicans causing this trouble and no one wants to be the one to finger them, because they are the same kind of people. And meanwhile, Trump goes on his merry way, having started a conflagration that is rapidly spreading, thanks to both him and Couchfuck. This is exactly why I am so frustrated and furious! 🔥🔥🔥
I haven’t heard much from the FBI since their epic fail on 1/6. Isn’t it illegal for Trump and his cult to encourage violence? He isn’t president now.
Just heard that FBI now stands for Fuck Being Independant ! The oligarchs pay better !🤫🤪😂
Aren't the proud boys + nazis in the terrorists lists? Yeah, freedom to assemble, of speech. But they are there to terrorize people. Where's the FBI, DOJ, police?
This is exactly what I was thinking!!!!! We have no one to depend on.
I'm making some calls today to see if there's an event in the Twin Cities in support of Springfield and it needs to be celebratory of the cmty, not some candlelight bullshit. If there isn't, I'm going to try to organize one.
Here’s one thing the good people of Springfield are doing:
https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-haitian-restaurant-draws-crowds-manager-says-we-came-here-to-work/XCYRX35OPNDZ3OTQJUMMY7SH6M/
I got some feedback from a cmty organizer friend of mine that events are popping up around the country to show support.
I'm with you, it makes me sick, it makes me want to fight! I know I can't count on swing state people to get over this trump bullshit because they are in a brainwashed cult -I am deeply worried about what's happening here.
Catherine, the far right owns almost every media conglomerate in our country. That’s part of the plan. They NEED us to believe that this is close! I don’t believe it is. But w need a tsunami of voters to sweep in Democrats from the top down in every state! We need to wipe them out to make changes and arrests, impeachments that result in removal (SCOTUS, Congress members). And then we must never forget how we got here and never let it happen again.
Just listen to JD’s fucking condescending tone as he mansplains to Dana Bash. What a dweeb.
I’m a 69-yr-old woman, a yogi and a practicing Roman Catholic and dear God I want to punch Vance in his muffin-face.
I guess that's one of his superpowers: to be so unlikeable that he enrages nice folk like you
hahahaha! hah! You're not wrong.
This is both so heartbreaking and terrifying. How is this happening in 2024? And how are the polls still so fucking close? Wtf is wrong with people????
That's the crux of it. How are the polls so close? How? I never realized until 2016 that we had so many despicable, deplorable people in our midst.
I agree with you...we're living among sick hateful people.
I'm not sure they really are, and I blame the media. For instance the NYT polls have been called out for oversampling republicans and rural people. This article is old but it gives an idea of the sleight of hand needed to "tweak" a poll.
https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/status-report-about-that-poll
The polls AREN’T close! The right wing owns almost every media conglomerate! Who do you think puts the polls out. The media is funded by trumpers. They are doing their job by normalizing the 34-count felon, rapist, seditionist. Biden won by 8 million BEFORE J6, reversal of Roe V Wade, 34-felony convictions, being found guilty of rape! Do you really think MORE people suddenly want trump!?
The polls are b shite. Don't believe them. They are posted to get clicks and eyeballs.
I don't, but I read the comment sections of news articles - I'm telling you, there's a ton of trumpers, they love it and are so dumb and thug like/hateful/cruel, it's not going to change. It's chilling. It's truly fucked. I'm looking into getting my passport updated, so is my sister. I'm going to do what I can to help the Harris/walz campaign and volunteer to work/help at the voting places, if there's fuckery, I at least want to be a witness, or help to keep voter intimidation at bay.
I can hardly enjoy You Tube now. Cute pet videos (pre Springfield) -- buncha maga's posting, despite the subject. Well, I mean I don't enjoy the comments. Even in dance videos. Agree, unbelievably hateful, cruel. smh
Can those be bots
It's that time in the election cycle where they spawn, and start their divisive bullshit like 'texit ' or 'Calexit' all of which was found to have been started by Eastern European bot working in a Russian troll farm. Then then get amplified on social media by local morons.

Good for you. Thanks
Seeking & Arne are both right- the polls are wrong- and the more Republitards spew hate& bigotry the more they gonna lose by!
I have fucking had it with this racist gaggle of fuck for brains terrorist network operating with absolute impunity. donald fuckwaste is a national disgrace and ANY supporter of his is by now a willing accomplice in the war he wages against America. After 8+ years there are zero fucking excuses for this chicken shit loser group of casual Friday Nazis. None. You know who Donald is and you approve his message. Period.
Jon, well said. Where are the damn arrests for these terrorists!
"Casual Friday Nazi's" with badly-fitting cargo shorts.
omg Casual Friday…🏆😆
Well-Dana is trying to make up for her incompetence during the debate?? Kudos to the Springfield community for helping the Haitian people. Wake the hell up maggots!
I loved seeing the turn out of community members to the Haitian restaurants! There need to be arrests NOW!
I was like whoooaa, Dana. Did the lightning hurt much when you got out the door?
The game plan for the gop, orange dildo and couchfuck mcgee is to create enough paranoia among Ohioans to get them to vote for a used car salesman and throw out longtime Senator Sherrod Brown. It’s all about the immigrants (which, BTW, is not a problem in Ohio, except we do not have enough of them to fill many of the jobs many of these assholes do not want). orange dildo is the idiot who killed the bipartisan immigration bill - not Joe Biden or Kamala or anyone in the gop. This is all about getting another maggot senator in Ohio so as to block anything the Dems try to do .
Bernie the used car salesman, wage thief, and crypto scammer is down 10 points. Sherrod is trusted even by many Republicans.
I hope this holds for Sherrod.
Great to hear! Sen Brown has been in MSNBC twice last week IIRC, onceon Lawrence, saying his GOP opponent has tons of money & he invites donations. I just sent another donation today to Sen Sherrod Brown.
Orange dildo is a great moniker, although it's questionable who actually would want him inside them, apart from Moscow Marj and Loony Loomer. Certainly Melania does not.
Butt plug may be a more accurate body probe …seeing that they’re all a pack of assholes !
This comment might choke them up.
Ok perhaps orange dildo is a bit much. Henceforth, he will simply be referred to as the impotent orange dildo.
I wonder if Loomer knows the CSI trick of putting vaporub under the nostrils to hide the stink?
🤣🤣🤣
This, exactly!!! It's a planned strategy against Sherrod Brown, and they feel pretty sure there's enough dipshits in Ohio to take the bait.
And FUUUUUUCK the New York Post.
So many people have done just that to NYPost and NY Times. Good on them!
I think Murdoch still owns the NY Post as well as Sky News Australia, which is "other siding" fascism Down Under like it is here. Evidently, civil war sells media.
Murdoch also owns way more than he should including the WSJ. Here is a list.
. "By 1969, News Corp had bought the Daily Mirror in Sydney, launched a national newspaper, The Australian, and purchased newspapers The Sun and News of the World in the United Kingdom. Once referred to as the inventor of the ''modern tabloid,'' Murdoch's newspapers focused on eye-catching headlines that principally centered around stories of scandal and controversy, resulting in a spike in circulation. By 1973, Rupert Murdoch began a series of acquisitions in the United States including the San Antonio News, the Star in 1974, New York magazine, and the Chicago Sun-Times. He expanded to book publishing, acquiring Harper & Row in 1987, and later Collins, both subsequently merged to form HarperCollins. In 2007, Murdoch bought The Wall Street Journal parent company, Dow Jones for nearly $6 billion, ending a century of ownership by the wealthy Bancroft family. In 1985, News Corp purchased Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, and the studio subsequently produced two of the top-grossing films of all time, Titanic and Avatar. The company created the Fox Television Stations group, the foundation for the launch of FOX Broadcasting Company and FOX Sports.
FOX led the television industry for eight years, and in October 1996, News Corporation launched the FOX News Channel and established popular cable networks, such as FX and the National Geographic Channel.
In 2012, News Corp acquired Consolidated Media Holdings in Australia, and News Corp Australia is now a majority shareholder of Foxtel/FOX SPORTS Australia, which owns and operates Sky News Australia.
Murdoch has been the executive chairman of News Corp since 2013, when News Corporation separated into two distinct, publicly traded companies, News Corp and 21st Century Fox. In March 2019, Rupert Murdoch sold his share of 21st Century Fox along with other media assets to the Walt Disney Company for $71.3 billion.

I didn’t realize he owned Sky News. Fuck that too!
And Ted Cruz
Always!
And twice on Sundays. Turd needs to burn in hell.
He makes me hope there is a hell.
Yep, it's a Murdoch rag, a tabloid. No one should take their bullshit seriously, but like Fux News, it resonates with bigots
Yes. Murdoch bottom-feeder tabloid trash.
I'm no fan of Dana Basch but she certainly put Vance on the spot today. What an utterly vile little creep he is. I'm proud to say that I never was taken in by his stupid hillbilly screed and when the book was first published tried to convince friends and family who were ooh-ing and aah-ing over it that it was cynical exaggeration and exploitation. That aged well.
Yeah me too, I figured he was doing the "Tiger-Mom" lady and she ghost-wrote it for him, she even picked out his wife for him. And told him not to dump her when he was going to move away.
