AS she pokes his big, fat, pumpkin head with her already-extended middle finger so he topples over...spits in his eye and stalks out, ALL caught on camera. Not only would I PAY, I'd even volunteer to do her time.
LOL I would have fucking PAID to see that. His pretense at 'all getting along' (especially since he's SO dumb he thought he had everyone conned and cowed...waiting for HIS nasty-assed comments he'd practiced) and now evaporated, but yeah, seeing him blow sky high would've been even better. Problem is she IS restricted/constricted(?) by Ellison. IF only she didn't give a fuck about her job. But then what? So many have quit or been dumped over the last year+ by this regime and its allies - and are now 'disappeared'. Perhaps she really does think she can do better by staying around and managing to get in these little bon mots? I sure enjoyed it. He REALLY thought getting his 'taxpayer-funded' fucking obscenity of a ball-room, now reframed as 'Pentagon-needed security' (as if we're all rubes. was a slam-dunk, but it blew up in his face. GLORIOUS! Not ONE of his litle fuckwits have tried to explain HOW the 'ballroom' is so needed when he spends most of his time in florida/elsewhere? This is SO the stupidest timeline we're being forced to live in. Och.
Ehhhhh, not quite. He was found liable civilly for sexual abuse. Lower standard of proof, and the difference between "rape" and "sexual abuse" under New York law is essentially whether a penis is involved or not (other states call it all rape or sexual assault and just distinguish by degrees).
Oh, and he was also found liable multiple times for defaming E. Jean Carroll for talking about it. And has not paid the fuck up.
Not for 'talking about it' - but for CONTINUING to DEFAME HER - after already being found guilty AND ordered to pay $83 million (including her attorney's fees). I don't believe he's EVER paid a penny so far, so the judge THEN added daily fines for his ignoring the Court's (and jury's) ruling. This has been his lifelong behaviour. He's bankrupted other people who did legitimate work for him - tossing off a 'so sue me', then had his lawyers cause delays upon delays - just so he'd never have to pay. ALL while those people lost their businesses. He's vile, disgusting and repulsive. Each time he couldn't keep his fat mouth shut about her, the judge tacked on yet another fine (besides the continuing fees). WHEN the judge was asked if what he'd done wasn't the same thing as rape, he confirmed that it indeed was. He insults her because she's 'old' NOW - however he couldn't tell the difference between her and Marla Maples in photos (E Jean was very beautiful when younger, and in fact still is!)
I think there’s an issue with the judge calling it rape but could not enter it and ended up with a lesser charge? My brain is fuzzy on that (and other things)
Rape is a criminal charge. E. Jean Carroll's two lawsuits were civil suits. But the judge stated officially that the jury determined that by finding against Orange Furor they concluded that OF had committed rape.
He was NOT "convicted of rape." He was held LIABLE for sexual assault in a civil trial. They are similar but they are NOT the same thing. Ask any lawyer.
Either way, the malignant toad put his disgusting tiny fingers in E.Jean Carrol’s vagina against her will, and that’s a fucking crime. And he’s probably done that crime dozens and dozens of times because he’s an entitled piece of shit.
I think her “oh, you think he was referring to you?”, then sitting silently while he called her names, was a perfectly orchestrated gotcha. In the future, we can play that clip along with nixon proclaiming, “I’m not a crook!”
stroked out - beginning with his big, fugly pumpkin face getting redder and redder and redder while insulting her (of course he did - she's a woman) - until finally it would collapse, like the stupid deflated balloon it's always been..
Personally I don’t have the expertise to pull it off but I’d love to see somebody put the Donald in front of a panel with Frank Reynolds, David Brinkley and Chet Huntley with Walter Cronkite as moderator. Then each member of the panel would pose Jeff’s question to Trump and Cronkite would end it with… “and that’s the way it is” 🤣😎
I’m right there with you, Uncle Jeff. I’m can no longer be pissed off at what Trump does and says, because we’ve always known who he is. I’m just furious with the people who normalize and apologize for Trump, and instead of calling his behavior what it is—pure sociopathy—they blame the left. I need to go find that interview with Jamie Raskin, because he’s one of the few people I’d expect to have had a good comeback.
I still can't get over the fact that Pammy Bondi had the gall to call Raskin a "washed up lawyer." Hey — he's still in Congress and where's Pammy? Oh right—she's "washed up."
She's just jealous. Raskin is a Constitutional scholar who spends his free time teaching it to any student who is interested in learning what is in our Constitution. For free. The class is also available on YouTube and I highly recommend it, his style is accessible and concise. I have him amongst the top 5 of my list of Trusted and Effective Politicians. It's a short list, and hasn't changed much in the last 5 to 10 years. Spam Blondi wouldn't recognize the Constitution without its name at the top of the page.
I heard him speak here in Cleveland when my congresswoman brought him in for a forum on fair elections. He was so knowledgeable and easily crushed the Republican tool on the panel (some guy from Illinois whose name I've forgotten who was shilling for increasingly onerous ID requirements). My list of trusted and effective politicians is actually kind of long, starting with my own congresswoman Shontel Brown, and including folks such as Melanie Stansbury (tireless Epstein attack dog), Maxwell Frost, Robert Garcia, Jasmine Crockett, Summer Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Lauren Underwood, Becca Balint, Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse, and the amazing Joe Neguse, who is so good at skewering GOP nonsense like their resolutions praising themselves for what a great job they're doing (NOT!) Not including my two senators, Bernie Moron-o and Jon Useless.
What's your issue with Pressley? know she's not as into big talk as the other members of the so-called "Squad," but she's worked really hard on a lot of pragmatic issues, especially around education.
NOT to mention that he was fighting brain cancer all while serving over these last couple of years AND against the moronic frump sycophants. He still retains his sense of humour AND his brilliant wit. His ability to 'manage' MTG's nonsensical attacks on Jasmine Crockett (he always 'got' everything Jasmine fired back even as her words sailed over Comer Fudd's head) - SO funny to watch Jamie fighting not to laugh
When he is interviewed, I stop and listen. Every time.
And I love when he's in a committee hearing and some Rethuglican commits yet another stupid and Raskin, on the spot, begins citing the relevant section and subsection of the Constitution--and, if then challenged, he proceeds to quote the passage verbatim. It makes the little Rethuglicans very, very angry.
It seems like the Trump apologists are in one of three main categories. First you have the violent foot soldiers and their backers that people who support them probably 15 to 20% of what they called Maga then there’s the right wing extreme but primarily religious and they believe he is from god. Then and perhaps the largest group at least in Washington anyway are the grifters some straight up grifter some Shapeshifter drifters then you have a combination of AB and C at various levels but I think that pretty much covers it.
What really fucking pisses me off is that everyone fails to mention the shooter was on a completely different floor. No one was killed or injured. Thank God. But this incident gave Trump a chance to say they need a fucking ballroom. I'm so pissed off at this spoiled, whiney brat I could scream!
I agree. Listening to CNN on a constant reporting about Preznits attempted assignation and how traumatized everyone was. Needing counselling etc. etc. Imagine all the students, church goers and other shooting victims that saw their friends shot right in front of them. All the blood, locked in classrooms. Saturday was just a little interruption in comparison.
April had been going for years, and had many comments about the lax security. Several other people didn't even go in because they were weirded out by how different/lax the security was.
Then there was the guy who sat calmly eating his burrata salad, watching the show as other people were diving under tables. He had a bad back and a new tux and was not about to get on the dirty floor.
Also, all the attendees who were hiding under the table crying in fear. A photo of Stephen Miller holding on to his pregnant wife's boobs while he pushes her towards the door ahead of himself, though protected all the way out by government agents!.
Gee, I'm glad none of these very important people never have to cower in silence in a school classroom, while a disturbed young man roams the hallways with an assault rifle. Our daughter teaches 9th and 10th grade English in Port Lucie County, FL, and a few weeks ago she and all her students had to spend 5 hours locked in their classrooms, not saying a word until the All Clear was given, because some screwed up young adult male had shot his father, and might be hiding in the vicinity.
The saddest part about this is that when our daughter called to tell us about the event, She said she was surprised how calm she was for the whole 5 hours - she guessed because She's so used to all the practice lockdowns.
just as Jeff always says, we're living in stupid times, and we're struck stupid leaders.
YES! "incident happened on a floor above where the dinner was actually taking place. Not in the room. Not near the room. Up a flight of stairs, past multiple security layers, in a part of the hotel that was open to the general public because the Secret Service only secured the specific areas of the WHCA event — not the entire building. Law enforcement officials confirmed this. The suspect never breached the secured zone. The president, vice president, cabinet officials, and guests were nowhere close to this."
Yep--and an Irish journalist, in an interview, discussed how, as a guest staying in the hotel, he was never stopped from coming and going from the hotel--no security checks when he returned. He was only checked when it was time to go into the ballroom and had to show his ticket. He was also holding his friend's ticket: she texted him that he needn't try to find her--all she needed was for him to send her a photo of her ticket and she'd be allowed in.
If this were a real attempt on Donnie Demento's life, every single Secret Service agent involved in this massive security lapse would be fired--this is actual, real cause for a committee hearing and dismissals.
However, since it was all Let's Pretend so that Demento could shill for his Epstein Memorial Dance Hall and Airplane Hangar...............
I saw his interview - on MSNow. I wasn't 100% sure if he was Irish or Scots to be honest - since his accent was SO familiar and I've been here for so long, at times they do tend to sound similar. That his female colleague was able to have him text her photo id seemed SO beyond the pale for security, given that 'this time' the fuckwit had announced HIS attendance in plenty of time for someone with nefarious intentions to 'be prepared', no? I've JUST read a pop-up about frump NOW blaming 'No Kings' for this 'attempt on his life'...for fuck's sake. I'm SO SICK of his lifelong cowardly whining, especially now about his fucking 'protection' which HE REMOVED FROM DEMOCRATS even though it's supposed to be part and parcel of their post-presidential 'perks', no? I thought he was going to 'lead' his followers into the Capitol on Jan 6th? Yeah - so big, brave and 'tough', lolol.
Yesterday, some rando talking head--no idea what "official" it might have been, as no ID was forthcoming--was blaming "the staff," without actually clarifying exactly whom he meant by that. He kept saying that "the staff" told the secret service what the secret service could and could not do, and I'd like to know on what outpost planet that has ever been allowed by the secret service. If it was, then, again--what a major lapse and display of incompetence by the secret service.
Some Democratic representative showed up, at first outraged by the lack of security--and then she hastily backtracked, obviously out of fear of sounding critical of the secret service, and pronounced that they'd done "a great job." Sure they did--let's give them a participation trophy for trying.
I've no idea who this random democrat 'rep' is/was but the idea that ANYONE can supersede real Secret Service in matters of specific security is so stultifyingly stupid it leaves me breathless. THEY (at least the 'they' who were highly trained and knew how to handle every single possible fraught scenario going back to Reagan's days would be those whom 'I' trusted.) I wasn't a fan of Reagan BUT he did make jokes with the surgeons working to save his life - no ego involved, AND was FAR more concerned about James Brady's nearly fatal head wound than he was his own injuries - for that I gave him props)...and he was smart enough to NEVER have allowed the kind of dumbfucks to override HIS Secret Service - EVER.
The guy who's in charge of the entire Secret Service, Sean Curran? He's the guy who was in charge of Trump's detail at Butler. And also at his Florida golf course when someone breached the perimeter there.
Wouldn't a guy like that, who owes his very high position to Trump, who values loyalty above all else, maybe make some, um, *choices* if called upon to do so? Because heads *should* have rolled after Butler. Only one did, the (female) director. Even though a report specifically criticized Trump's detail for their lack of preparation and attention to detail. Led by whom? Sean Curran. Who not only suffered no consequences, but is now in charge of the entire agency and continues to have basically no scrutiny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Donald_Trump_in_Pennsylvania
So democrats can't put the evidence together and call it a staged event because the GOP creates so many conspiracies that dems are afraid we will sound just like them and come across as hypocrites.
Someone had a video in which she discussed her work with dementia patients yadda yadda. And while I take a lot of the "expert analysis" of people on the internet who diagnose him remotely with a grain of salt, she did say that he may have lost the ability to do a sit-to-stand, which could account for why he took so long to move.
And I realized ... I haven't actually seen him get out of a chair in a good long time. I've seen him sitting, I've seen him standing, I've seen him walking (weirdly), but I have not actually seen him get out of the chair he's in, get out of the car by himself, get out of the golf cart, etc. The press will be brought in for some availability where he's seated and then they're shooed out.
You lose muscle mass as you age, and if you don't keep moving and keep mobile, you get into trouble. I'm in my late 50s, and a bit over a year ago, my meniscus tore. It was a bucket-handle tear that flipped over and got stuck. So my knee joint was propped open. My leg was strained. And for unrelated medical reasons that did not help matters, I had to delay surgery for four months. So I hobbled around on a walker for months, atrophying (well, not entirely, since I did do prehab; I've got good orthos). I lost a lot of muscle tone. And it did not do any favors for the condition of the meniscus and the arthritis in the "good" leg, which was always my "bad" leg and had been bothering me for years. I had trouble for months after my surgery even doing sit to stand. If I had 20 more years on me and just sat around and ate junk like him, I'd basically be a sack of potatoes, too.
Say what you will about Joe Biden falling off his bike, he was on a damn bicycle. If he'd had to have been evacuated, they probably wouldn't have had to pick him up off the floor.
I’m a retired Internist and I understand the whole process you went through. I cannot diagnose his type of dementia at a distance, but I believe it is likely one that has ataxia (loss of balance) as prominent features.. I am guessing he carries a diagnosis and knows it in his more lucid moments.
How many people were in attendance at the Correspondents' Dinner? I am unable to find that information anywhere. It's relevant because he wants his bloated ballroom to seat 1,000. That number seems insanely excessive and downright dangerous.
Isn't this a perfect time to promote his totally secure, anti-drone, safety first, Epstein Ballroom? It's like it was another preordained episode to change the conversation. I'm amazed how quickly ears grow back.
The thing not being mentioned is that the Washington Hilton Ballroom is about 5-10 times larger than the largest figure being proposed for the White House ballroom. Apart from the fact that it would be a travesty for the White House Correspondents to hold its event there, demonstrating that it was totally controlled by the president.
Wow. You made my point better than I did. I've been at charity events and annual banquets at the Washington Hilton, but in rooms (possibly divided) that accommodated fewer guests—maybe 500-650 or so.
It’s okay-we all AGREE with you on every word!!!!!!!!! What the hell has happened to journalism….(I know..the rich jerks are buying it up.) Hope some nice country helps us all soon! Take care everyone. The BS they pulled on Aaron Parnas being a friend to the shooter is disgusting!
We the United States helped create the United Nations. We now need them. We the people will need to use the premises upon which that organization was formed to right the mess our current elected officials either can’t or won’t correct.
Times up. The crud and rot goes deep. Too many cowards. No it is not easy. Welcome to the alternative.
Celeste, yes. We need to unite with every country willing and remove the unlawful and reclaim our democracy and build back all that they have destroyed.
We had a lot of Dems on our positions at the time of the insurrection who were compromised.
We need to reclaim our Constitution and rebuild all the damage that has been inflicted.
I also need to address something deeply concerning that unfolded overnight. I woke up to a flood of messages and videos asking about a claim that the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was a former employee of mine. That is completely untrue. These claims appear to be driven by AI-generated content that originated on Facebook and is now spreading across platforms by bad actors. This is not just misinformation. It is dangerous, and if the wrong person believes it, it could lead to serious threats to me and my family. Aaron
We do not want to fall to the depths of Nazi Germany before we act.
You may avoid the worst but those more delicious for them to oppress will suffer more than you have most likely imagined.
They already have done that. The two murders. Liam and his dad. Do you think Liam will ever be the same again ? No he will carry this with him for his entire life. He will suffer from fear black evil dreams and feelings, and inner sufferings. He will never feel safe, always on guard never trusting.
These repugs all of them, are mentally sick.
We need to look at the resources to remove out of office. Drunks, sycophants, incompetent.
I think of those that have been captured and brutalized. Lives destroyed. They will never be the same. Their terror and horror will haunt them. It will uncontrollably be passed to their young.
The horror lives on and on. It is terrifically difficult for their children to shed and live a happy life.
Do we want to be still any longer? Listen to what they said after this incident!!
These are mean and destructive people. They always will be. They will destroy all that is good. They are mentally sick. You can’t reason with that.
Look how horrid Germany got before people rose up. Total destruction.
We must use our laws to get them out of positions of authority. They will never change.
The MSM’s sane washing of Donnycon and blaming the left when anything happens though we all know right wing terrorists are far more prevalent is infuriating!
Jeff, do still think the shooting wasn’t a PR stunt to drum up sympathy for dump and his Epstein ballroom?
Now they are going after Aaron Parnas! "I also need to address something deeply concerning that unfolded overnight. I woke up to a flood of messages and videos asking about a claim that the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was a former employee of mine. That is completely untrue. These claims appear to be driven by AI-generated content that originated on Facebook and is now spreading across platforms by bad actors. This is not just misinformation. It is dangerous, and if the wrong person believes it, it could lead to serious threats to me and my family." Aaron
Uncle Jeff, there is more than adequate reason to be be fucking angry these days....every fucking day there is something else from this fuckin asshole...every. fucking. day.
If pissed off Jeff could gif the shit out of the smug look he gave Melonoma when shit went down that woule be awesome! He was not the LEAST bit surprised.
Angry Jeff is awesome. And appropriate. I must have said What a Fucking Asshole at least a dozen times while reading/watching the vids in your post today. Loudly. And angrily enough to startle my poor, long suffering cat. I hadn't seen that vile post by Monster Junior before, with his Paul Pelosi Halloween costume. I need to say again, in all caps, WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE!
It feels like it may have been staged. I’m really worried about that. is it a push toward those outrageous detention centers for Democrats? I bet dollars to donuts that guy was a democrat.
Dana Bash understands the assignment. CNN is owned by Larry Ellison. Or David Ellison. One of the billionaire douchebags who supports fascism in all its forms. Props to Norah O'Donnell who set the Lyndon Johnson trap - not everyone believes that Trump has done what he's accused of, but she made him deny it.
It’s worse than that. The Ellisons don’t own CNN yet. But Bash got ahead of that by adopting the GOP talking point. “You meany Democrats called Dear Leader ‘bad for the country’ and it’s your fault people with guns have decided to attack him. Shame on you for your dastardly scheme!”
I’ll ask the question I asked yesterday: How will we tell this CNN from the Ellison CNN?
Jeff is so right on about the MSM MAGA bias, the delicate "feelings" of the MAGA mobster bloggers and who incites partisan divisions and violence.
Remember when Hillary called the earlier version of MAGites "Deplorables"? Wow, the MSM thought the Democrats had become belligerent antagonists.
When DJT attacks the Democrats as "unhinged Socialist/Communist Lunatics" (about everyday) it's just "Trump using colorful language or it's Trump being Trump".
When Trump pardons the J6 Rioters as patriots, it's "Oh my gosh! Look what happened in America (the lawless) today".
Or killing unindicted civilians in the Caribbean and Iran in the name of national security? WOW. That's really "Trump being Trump" ( a wanton murderer).
The MINIMUM we should expect from the press is so good old "What-aboutism".
And for sure condemnation of political violence on both sides.
She was already well on the way, when she and Tapper "moderated" the CNN "debate" in 2016. Maybe she'll age out when Ellison takes complete control. Probably a little too fair and balanced for him.
And WSJ, the Dumb Antichrist didn't "stand tall" on Saturday, he tripped over his own feet and made the Secret Service try to hoist the big sack of lard from the floor.
I don't know, I think she needs to resign, loudly stating as she does that she's being forbidden to report the news as she knows she should, which is truthfully. Surely she's at an age where she can retire in comfort and stop selling her soul to devils like Ellison and trump.
The pedo criminal elect and his feckless GOP co-conspirators, apologists, and supporters are hate-speech flame throwers. But what do I know, I'm just an antifa radical left scum domestic terrorist.
Here's an idea:
Instead of a massive Epstein/Trump Ballroom, why doesn’t the pedo criminal elect just get a bulletproof backpack, practice active shooter drills, and rely on, you know -thoughts and prayers?
It’s the same GOP-led plan that is good enough for school children.
And for him to say he didn't fall is such an obvious lie. They told him to get down on the ground? It's that why they immediately helped his fat ass up and walked him out? Always the lie is what comes out of his ugly mouth first.
This is an excellent thought. The same standards should apply across our populations! Thoughts and prayers all around. Such an effective gun control method after all.
The preznit is an old dude and needs time to stand and then get his balance before moving, as like a LOT of old dudes. Without it they stumble and fall, as he did when they hustled him out. Then his staff struggled to lift his fat ass up. Speed is not an option for him anymore.
Excellent post. And no, I have no evidence to prove it, but damn it...everything about this "attempt" seems so off. I'm leaning to the Team Fake side. I feel the same way about Butler. And I have just stopped reading ANY corporate media cause it's all bullshit.
Our two party system is such a failure. It creates an 'us versus them' mentality. Nothing of substance is getting done...and the amount of money we're pissing away is heartbreaking when it could actually help people.
If I were queen, then first thing I would do is end Citizens United.
It is odd that I don't think he has attended this dinner in years. I could be wrong but I thought he was against it? Didn't he go to one years ago as a guest before he was ever President and Obama (maybe others?) kind of roasted him and he refused to ever go back? Please note I am getting old and my memory may not be totally accurate. But then the one time he shows up this happens?? A little (lot) suspicious to me.
Why is that suspicious? I mean, I really don't understand this line of thinking It's a public event that was known about, in a hotel. The guy wrote a manifesto and clearly had a plan. He had an opportunity and used it. Too bad he failed, even with the Ketstone Kops shitty security.
Like Irascible, I find the manifesto quite relatable and genuine. But I am also not going to be critical of anyone who finds the whole thing hinky and suspicious. We live in a post-certainty world where reality is hard to ascertain.
Not if you've studied critical thinking and what GOOD questions to ask. I cut my teeth years ago debunking my sisters many ridiculous beliefs, as well as studying the whole 9/11 was an inside job nonsense and how the lies and bullshit claims were picked apart and proven wrong.
I can’t imagine anyone sprinting while carrying a long gun and/ or a bag of some kind with knives and handgun.
An early report said the vest-wearing guy was shot by his own colleague, not the suspect. Now they are saying law enforcement shot five times, not hitting the suspect. The suspect shot one or two times? Couldn’t they tell which?
Nothing is clear at all, except Trump got to argue for his ballroom. And he learned a new word, “impactful.”
The NY Times is giving hourly updates. We know who did it, why he did it, where he lived, etc. The only murk clouding the facts are the speculation, assumptions, and ouright lies.
My thoughts precisely. I'm not usually one to jump to conspiracy theories, but this is highly suspicious, for all the reasons mentioned. You know, timing is everything.
What timing? Should people who wanted to kill the POTUS be storming the Hilton when he's NOT there? Distraction? No one needs such theatrics for that with this admin.
My comment about timing was in reference to trump's demands for the ballroom, the war debacle, the Epstein mess and all the other crap he's pulling. And then suddenly he's insistent on attending this event when he's very publicly ignored so many others. And then this happens. I just find the timing all very coincidental. And I'm not a believer in coincidence. And no, we don't need any theatrics. There's already enough coming from inside the White House.
My thought, because I’m not in Trump’s crazy pumpkin head, was that this would be a good time to insult and piss off the press that’s been reporting on his tanking approval and dismiss their “fake news”
It was a public event, easily accessed, and one guy took a chance.
Exactly how we feel too- sympathy votes with Butler - and the whole “ I’m so honored “ baloney” … I don’t trust any of his administration at all…kinda weird to learn about the Usha connection..‼️
I don't trust them either, but I also don't believe they're smart enough to pull off a staged assassination attempt, especially one that got two people killed and damn near succeeded, and not ONE credible person has spilled the beans. Highly unlikely. HIGHLY.
That's exactly what happened. Then he blamed Obama for the reason he ran. Fat Whitey could NOT stand that a BLACK MAN joked about the joker. Proof again that narcissists have zero sense of humor.
This was the first time Donnie Demento attended the WHC dinner as president--never went in his first term. He was too mad at Obama and, of course, journalists.
Altho I don't believe either event was staged, this one is more likely between the two. If not for one inch of a head turn at the exact millisecond, that bullet fired by Crooks would have got him just behind the ear. That's a kill shot. No way was that staged; the margin for error was zero, with far too many moving parts. That was sheer luck, despite the bumbling security at that event as well.
Considering the rapidity with which his ear "healed," it's unlikely to have been caused by a bullet, even if the attempt was real. As many have suggested, it's more plausible that his injury came from a flying piece of debris, possibly from the shattered teleprompter.
Many have suggested that and been proven wrong. The teleprompters were intact, there are several photos showing this. The only part of his ear that was hit was the very outer edge, which is a thin curl of skin. His ear didn't heal in any unusually rapid way. Tiny nicks in flesh such as the ears, eyes, and mouth heal rapidly, and all photos showing him the next day without the ear diaper have been proven taken prior to the rally. The amount of blood present is perfectly normal for a blood-rich area such as the outer ear, especially when the person is taking large amounts of aspirin, which he has admitted to.
We have always had a two-party system and we until then GOP transformed into unrepentant shit-buckets - Reagan, Gingrich and the Tea Party blew it all up. I’m sure I’m leaving someone off…
He doesn’t need the ballroom per se, he NEEDS the bunker built underneath so when his term is over (IF he’s alive and lives that long) he’ll have a place to hide and will not leave…
If NPR has to peddle their own conciliatory crap to remain on the air, they can take their "shweaty balls" commentators and turn off the lights. Adios.
On another note, Brick Shithouse Fetterman jumped within minutes after the WHCD to post "Give Trump his ballroom!" The MAGA bots are out in full force to resurrect Fetterman as a great, conscientious politician of enormous common sense. But everything he says and does shouts Trump's yes-man.
Really I knowww- the military wants it too u know.. law enforcement… instead will have lots a guns in this country … but we will have a golden ballroom bigger than the WH‼️
I read where Susie Wiles was responsible for the security detail at the WHCD and now she's on a short leash. They should have held this event at Ford's Theater for a better outcome.
In the last 10 years, Trump has attacked, demeaned and threatened nearly every prominent leader of the pro-democracy movement. He routinely attacks his perceived enemies but saves his harshest tactics for his political opponents.
Yet, time and time again, the legacy media insist on asking those of us who stand up to him to tone down our rhetoric. It is as if those of us who insist on the rule of law and call out Trump's authoritarianism are the problem.
The suggestion is that perhaps, if we were just nicer to Trump, things in this country would be better.
Just yesterday, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Rep. Jamie Raskin if Democrats thought twice about their rhetoric against the president. The congressman quickly pointed out that any rhetoric against the president is directed at his authoritarian policies.
Cannot believe you led off w/Bash. I saw that yesterday and have been furious ever since… (takes a lot to breakthrough my furious-threshold these days). TY JEFF ‼️
Okay, Coma Comer, let's see you haul somebody from the regime with security responsibilities for this clusterfuck and grill them for 11 hours like your projection party did to Hilary Clinton after Benghazi, knowing full well that the Secretary of State does not make specific decisions about the security of every consulate and embassy herself. There is a hierarchy for that, dumbshits. Posturing, gaslighting pedophile protectors gonna lie and deflect, always.
Also, Republicans had cut security for foreign embassies/consulates. And they originally planned to use Benghaaaaaazi to undermine Obama's reelection, but after the election, they shifted to Hillary anticipating that she would run in 2016. It was those hearings that alerted the whole country to the existence of our own (Ohio's) sexual predator protector Gymmie Jordan, and not in a good way. I mean, I kept getting asked, "Who is that asshole from Ohio?"
All of the others are faceless backbenchers. I call them Bob "Who?" Latta, Dave "Who?" Joyce, Michael "Who?" Rulli etc. All good little soldiers for Trump. The only Ohio congress people with any profile at all are Democrats and Max Miller (Oh-07), known for his messy divorce from Sen. Bernie Moron-o's daughter, whom he married at Trump's Bedminster Golf Club, his affair with a female bodybuilding, and his road rage incident. And stuff like this: "In 2011, he was charged with "operating a vehicle without reasonable control' and operating a vehicle impaired (OVI) after crashing his Jeep Grand Cherokee, and told officers that he had had 'two to three beers and several shots' the night before and 'woke up in urine-soaked pants.'"
Only the best for Ohio! Luckily, Oh-07 is kind of swingy so we might be able to get rid of him.
Most rhetoric doesn’t cause people to commit mayhem and murder. Donny’s rhetoric actually encourages it - does anyone not remember “you better fight like hell or you won’t have a country anymore”?
That whole day was awful 😢 I cried - stuck in front of the TV - like through President Kennedy’s funeral on black and white TV- both instances were just numbing‼️
So it's just another day in the Rapist Protection Cabal (now with Crypto). I can't believe any serious journalists would deign to attend this blather-fest in the first place, and now Kash is on the air talking about (I guess) the national tragedy that the entire US evil empire was seated together in a marginally-secure room. He needs to start every press conference with I ONLY HAD TWO BEERS.
Norah dropping “Oh, do you think he was talking about you?” after reading a terrorist’s rant about a “pedophile rapist” was the closest thing we’ve had to a major-network chyron that just says: HE RAPED E. JEAN CARROLL, AND YOU KNOW IT.
Trump’s response was pure coked‑up grandpa panic. He immediately blurts “I’m not a rapist, I didn’t rape anybody, I’m not a pedophile,” like a guy failing the world’s easiest Turing test for guilty conscience. Man woman person camera TV rapist pedophile. The I AM NOT A RAPIST: TRUMP 2028 shirts are going on sale at the MAGA shops. 39.95, made in China.
RFK Jr. ran out on his wife like a cat jumping off the kitchen counter, while Miller shielded himself behind his pregnant wife while copping a feel because he seldom is allowed that close to her. I mean, probably Elon's baby anyway, right? Also, the clips of people grabbing bottles off the table because everybody is drunk all the time.
What would Rudy do (aside from lying on the bed and unbuckling his belt)?
yeah, Angry Jeff shoved Funny Jeff into the locker again
IF ONLY Norah had taken the opportunity to take up the Tiedrich challenge!!
I believe she was 🤏this close. Maybe next time!
"Oh, you think he was referring to you?" Classic retort that we should use ad infinitum
The shoe fit!
AS she pokes his big, fat, pumpkin head with her already-extended middle finger so he topples over...spits in his eye and stalks out, ALL caught on camera. Not only would I PAY, I'd even volunteer to do her time.
Or at least followed up that denial with the fact that he WAS convicted of rape.
He would have exploded! I actually would have liked to see that.
Every day, I hope for such a headline. That's my heated rhetoric for the day.
The truth hurts, doesn’t it Donny?
LOL I would have fucking PAID to see that. His pretense at 'all getting along' (especially since he's SO dumb he thought he had everyone conned and cowed...waiting for HIS nasty-assed comments he'd practiced) and now evaporated, but yeah, seeing him blow sky high would've been even better. Problem is she IS restricted/constricted(?) by Ellison. IF only she didn't give a fuck about her job. But then what? So many have quit or been dumped over the last year+ by this regime and its allies - and are now 'disappeared'. Perhaps she really does think she can do better by staying around and managing to get in these little bon mots? I sure enjoyed it. He REALLY thought getting his 'taxpayer-funded' fucking obscenity of a ball-room, now reframed as 'Pentagon-needed security' (as if we're all rubes. was a slam-dunk, but it blew up in his face. GLORIOUS! Not ONE of his litle fuckwits have tried to explain HOW the 'ballroom' is so needed when he spends most of his time in florida/elsewhere? This is SO the stupidest timeline we're being forced to live in. Och.
Real question: when he actually strikes a reporter during an interview, will THAT lead to any consequences?
Probably not
Ehhhhh, not quite. He was found liable civilly for sexual abuse. Lower standard of proof, and the difference between "rape" and "sexual abuse" under New York law is essentially whether a penis is involved or not (other states call it all rape or sexual assault and just distinguish by degrees).
Oh, and he was also found liable multiple times for defaming E. Jean Carroll for talking about it. And has not paid the fuck up.
/pedant
Not for 'talking about it' - but for CONTINUING to DEFAME HER - after already being found guilty AND ordered to pay $83 million (including her attorney's fees). I don't believe he's EVER paid a penny so far, so the judge THEN added daily fines for his ignoring the Court's (and jury's) ruling. This has been his lifelong behaviour. He's bankrupted other people who did legitimate work for him - tossing off a 'so sue me', then had his lawyers cause delays upon delays - just so he'd never have to pay. ALL while those people lost their businesses. He's vile, disgusting and repulsive. Each time he couldn't keep his fat mouth shut about her, the judge tacked on yet another fine (besides the continuing fees). WHEN the judge was asked if what he'd done wasn't the same thing as rape, he confirmed that it indeed was. He insults her because she's 'old' NOW - however he couldn't tell the difference between her and Marla Maples in photos (E Jean was very beautiful when younger, and in fact still is!)
I think there’s an issue with the judge calling it rape but could not enter it and ended up with a lesser charge? My brain is fuzzy on that (and other things)
Rape is a criminal charge. E. Jean Carroll's two lawsuits were civil suits. But the judge stated officially that the jury determined that by finding against Orange Furor they concluded that OF had committed rape.
The judge said it was "rape" within the standard English usage of the term, though not within the statutory definition of the criminal charge.
He was NOT "convicted of rape." He was held LIABLE for sexual assault in a civil trial. They are similar but they are NOT the same thing. Ask any lawyer.
I believe the judge actually followed that up to say, “yes, trump was found to have raped E.Jean Carroll.”
Typical confusion involving this prick - who in years before would never be allowed to become a presidential candidate with his background.
Either way, the malignant toad put his disgusting tiny fingers in E.Jean Carrol’s vagina against her will, and that’s a fucking crime. And he’s probably done that crime dozens and dozens of times because he’s an entitled piece of shit.
Convicted of rape in a Civil trial, not a Criminal one. Unfortunately.
A rape is a rape no matter how it’s prosecuted. Why is that concept so hard to understand? Does a civil trial make him less guilty??
I think her “oh, you think he was referring to you?”, then sitting silently while he called her names, was a perfectly orchestrated gotcha. In the future, we can play that clip along with nixon proclaiming, “I’m not a crook!”
I think she actually said it but in so many different words - hell yeah !
stroked out - beginning with his big, fugly pumpkin face getting redder and redder and redder while insulting her (of course he did - she's a woman) - until finally it would collapse, like the stupid deflated balloon it's always been..
Personally I don’t have the expertise to pull it off but I’d love to see somebody put the Donald in front of a panel with Frank Reynolds, David Brinkley and Chet Huntley with Walter Cronkite as moderator. Then each member of the panel would pose Jeff’s question to Trump and Cronkite would end it with… “and that’s the way it is” 🤣😎
It was the cultured version of "I know you are, but what am I?"
I’m right there with you, Uncle Jeff. I’m can no longer be pissed off at what Trump does and says, because we’ve always known who he is. I’m just furious with the people who normalize and apologize for Trump, and instead of calling his behavior what it is—pure sociopathy—they blame the left. I need to go find that interview with Jamie Raskin, because he’s one of the few people I’d expect to have had a good comeback.
I still can't get over the fact that Pammy Bondi had the gall to call Raskin a "washed up lawyer." Hey — he's still in Congress and where's Pammy? Oh right—she's "washed up."
She's just jealous. Raskin is a Constitutional scholar who spends his free time teaching it to any student who is interested in learning what is in our Constitution. For free. The class is also available on YouTube and I highly recommend it, his style is accessible and concise. I have him amongst the top 5 of my list of Trusted and Effective Politicians. It's a short list, and hasn't changed much in the last 5 to 10 years. Spam Blondi wouldn't recognize the Constitution without its name at the top of the page.
Might still be too big a word for Pamnesia Blondi to sound out.....
I heard him speak here in Cleveland when my congresswoman brought him in for a forum on fair elections. He was so knowledgeable and easily crushed the Republican tool on the panel (some guy from Illinois whose name I've forgotten who was shilling for increasingly onerous ID requirements). My list of trusted and effective politicians is actually kind of long, starting with my own congresswoman Shontel Brown, and including folks such as Melanie Stansbury (tireless Epstein attack dog), Maxwell Frost, Robert Garcia, Jasmine Crockett, Summer Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Lauren Underwood, Becca Balint, Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse, and the amazing Joe Neguse, who is so good at skewering GOP nonsense like their resolutions praising themselves for what a great job they're doing (NOT!) Not including my two senators, Bernie Moron-o and Jon Useless.
Also Garcia recently publicly called Stephen Miller "the biggest piece of shit in America" on TV so that's kind of heroic.
I greatly admire many of the people you mention, but not Ayanna Pressley who I have the misfortune to have as my non-representative.
What's your issue with Pressley? know she's not as into big talk as the other members of the so-called "Squad," but she's worked really hard on a lot of pragmatic issues, especially around education.
NOT to mention that he was fighting brain cancer all while serving over these last couple of years AND against the moronic frump sycophants. He still retains his sense of humour AND his brilliant wit. His ability to 'manage' MTG's nonsensical attacks on Jasmine Crockett (he always 'got' everything Jasmine fired back even as her words sailed over Comer Fudd's head) - SO funny to watch Jamie fighting not to laugh
Love Raskin
When he is interviewed, I stop and listen. Every time.
And I love when he's in a committee hearing and some Rethuglican commits yet another stupid and Raskin, on the spot, begins citing the relevant section and subsection of the Constitution--and, if then challenged, he proceeds to quote the passage verbatim. It makes the little Rethuglicans very, very angry.
Pam Bondi should be struck by lightning for calling him "washed up." Oh wait — she was. She was fired. She's all washed up!
You don't think she'll get another gig where she gets paid for doing little? Some law firm will hire her to represent Trumpers somewhere.
It seems like the Trump apologists are in one of three main categories. First you have the violent foot soldiers and their backers that people who support them probably 15 to 20% of what they called Maga then there’s the right wing extreme but primarily religious and they believe he is from god. Then and perhaps the largest group at least in Washington anyway are the grifters some straight up grifter some Shapeshifter drifters then you have a combination of AB and C at various levels but I think that pretty much covers it.
Agreed. The Enablers can stop the bull shit. The Enablers are worse than the Perpetrator!
What really fucking pisses me off is that everyone fails to mention the shooter was on a completely different floor. No one was killed or injured. Thank God. But this incident gave Trump a chance to say they need a fucking ballroom. I'm so pissed off at this spoiled, whiney brat I could scream!
I agree. Listening to CNN on a constant reporting about Preznits attempted assignation and how traumatized everyone was. Needing counselling etc. etc. Imagine all the students, church goers and other shooting victims that saw their friends shot right in front of them. All the blood, locked in classrooms. Saturday was just a little interruption in comparison.
Exactly! And those reporters wouldn’t even have attended this year’s dinner if they had a modicum of self respect.
Norm Eisen of the Contrarian was going so he could stand up, turn his back and walk out when the felon started to speak.
Norm and April Ryan.
April had been going for years, and had many comments about the lax security. Several other people didn't even go in because they were weirded out by how different/lax the security was.
Then there was the guy who sat calmly eating his burrata salad, watching the show as other people were diving under tables. He had a bad back and a new tux and was not about to get on the dirty floor.
I can’t remember whose, but he was somebody’s agent. So he’s probably used to a Lot of drama over very little
"Preznits attempted assignation": uhh, "assignation" means something a little different, although if Preznit attempted that it would also fail.
🤣
Just ask Stormy. He certainly failed that little assignation
Also, all the attendees who were hiding under the table crying in fear. A photo of Stephen Miller holding on to his pregnant wife's boobs while he pushes her towards the door ahead of himself, though protected all the way out by government agents!.
Gee, I'm glad none of these very important people never have to cower in silence in a school classroom, while a disturbed young man roams the hallways with an assault rifle. Our daughter teaches 9th and 10th grade English in Port Lucie County, FL, and a few weeks ago she and all her students had to spend 5 hours locked in their classrooms, not saying a word until the All Clear was given, because some screwed up young adult male had shot his father, and might be hiding in the vicinity.
The saddest part about this is that when our daughter called to tell us about the event, She said she was surprised how calm she was for the whole 5 hours - she guessed because She's so used to all the practice lockdowns.
just as Jeff always says, we're living in stupid times, and we're struck stupid leaders.
YES! "incident happened on a floor above where the dinner was actually taking place. Not in the room. Not near the room. Up a flight of stairs, past multiple security layers, in a part of the hotel that was open to the general public because the Secret Service only secured the specific areas of the WHCA event — not the entire building. Law enforcement officials confirmed this. The suspect never breached the secured zone. The president, vice president, cabinet officials, and guests were nowhere close to this."
It was totally publicity stunt.
I absolutely agree. Now we have to convince Jeff!
Yep--and an Irish journalist, in an interview, discussed how, as a guest staying in the hotel, he was never stopped from coming and going from the hotel--no security checks when he returned. He was only checked when it was time to go into the ballroom and had to show his ticket. He was also holding his friend's ticket: she texted him that he needn't try to find her--all she needed was for him to send her a photo of her ticket and she'd be allowed in.
If this were a real attempt on Donnie Demento's life, every single Secret Service agent involved in this massive security lapse would be fired--this is actual, real cause for a committee hearing and dismissals.
However, since it was all Let's Pretend so that Demento could shill for his Epstein Memorial Dance Hall and Airplane Hangar...............
I saw his interview - on MSNow. I wasn't 100% sure if he was Irish or Scots to be honest - since his accent was SO familiar and I've been here for so long, at times they do tend to sound similar. That his female colleague was able to have him text her photo id seemed SO beyond the pale for security, given that 'this time' the fuckwit had announced HIS attendance in plenty of time for someone with nefarious intentions to 'be prepared', no? I've JUST read a pop-up about frump NOW blaming 'No Kings' for this 'attempt on his life'...for fuck's sake. I'm SO SICK of his lifelong cowardly whining, especially now about his fucking 'protection' which HE REMOVED FROM DEMOCRATS even though it's supposed to be part and parcel of their post-presidential 'perks', no? I thought he was going to 'lead' his followers into the Capitol on Jan 6th? Yeah - so big, brave and 'tough', lolol.
Yesterday, some rando talking head--no idea what "official" it might have been, as no ID was forthcoming--was blaming "the staff," without actually clarifying exactly whom he meant by that. He kept saying that "the staff" told the secret service what the secret service could and could not do, and I'd like to know on what outpost planet that has ever been allowed by the secret service. If it was, then, again--what a major lapse and display of incompetence by the secret service.
Some Democratic representative showed up, at first outraged by the lack of security--and then she hastily backtracked, obviously out of fear of sounding critical of the secret service, and pronounced that they'd done "a great job." Sure they did--let's give them a participation trophy for trying.
I've no idea who this random democrat 'rep' is/was but the idea that ANYONE can supersede real Secret Service in matters of specific security is so stultifyingly stupid it leaves me breathless. THEY (at least the 'they' who were highly trained and knew how to handle every single possible fraught scenario going back to Reagan's days would be those whom 'I' trusted.) I wasn't a fan of Reagan BUT he did make jokes with the surgeons working to save his life - no ego involved, AND was FAR more concerned about James Brady's nearly fatal head wound than he was his own injuries - for that I gave him props)...and he was smart enough to NEVER have allowed the kind of dumbfucks to override HIS Secret Service - EVER.
But Trump was so strong and brave and presidential about something he barely knew was happening. Sheesh. The media ...
And everyone had tears in their eyes
The guy who's in charge of the entire Secret Service, Sean Curran? He's the guy who was in charge of Trump's detail at Butler. And also at his Florida golf course when someone breached the perimeter there.
Trump promoted him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_M._Curran
Wouldn't a guy like that, who owes his very high position to Trump, who values loyalty above all else, maybe make some, um, *choices* if called upon to do so? Because heads *should* have rolled after Butler. Only one did, the (female) director. Even though a report specifically criticized Trump's detail for their lack of preparation and attention to detail. Led by whom? Sean Curran. Who not only suffered no consequences, but is now in charge of the entire agency and continues to have basically no scrutiny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Donald_Trump_in_Pennsylvania
Butler knows whats really going on and keeps his mouth shut.
I think you meant Curran and I totally agree. He has been part and parcel to all three of these faked attempts.
So democrats can't put the evidence together and call it a staged event because the GOP creates so many conspiracies that dems are afraid we will sound just like them and come across as hypocrites.
Thanks Abby!
And he didn't stand tall... he stood up and fell over.
Someone had a video in which she discussed her work with dementia patients yadda yadda. And while I take a lot of the "expert analysis" of people on the internet who diagnose him remotely with a grain of salt, she did say that he may have lost the ability to do a sit-to-stand, which could account for why he took so long to move.
And I realized ... I haven't actually seen him get out of a chair in a good long time. I've seen him sitting, I've seen him standing, I've seen him walking (weirdly), but I have not actually seen him get out of the chair he's in, get out of the car by himself, get out of the golf cart, etc. The press will be brought in for some availability where he's seated and then they're shooed out.
You lose muscle mass as you age, and if you don't keep moving and keep mobile, you get into trouble. I'm in my late 50s, and a bit over a year ago, my meniscus tore. It was a bucket-handle tear that flipped over and got stuck. So my knee joint was propped open. My leg was strained. And for unrelated medical reasons that did not help matters, I had to delay surgery for four months. So I hobbled around on a walker for months, atrophying (well, not entirely, since I did do prehab; I've got good orthos). I lost a lot of muscle tone. And it did not do any favors for the condition of the meniscus and the arthritis in the "good" leg, which was always my "bad" leg and had been bothering me for years. I had trouble for months after my surgery even doing sit to stand. If I had 20 more years on me and just sat around and ate junk like him, I'd basically be a sack of potatoes, too.
Say what you will about Joe Biden falling off his bike, he was on a damn bicycle. If he'd had to have been evacuated, they probably wouldn't have had to pick him up off the floor.
I’m a retired Internist and I understand the whole process you went through. I cannot diagnose his type of dementia at a distance, but I believe it is likely one that has ataxia (loss of balance) as prominent features.. I am guessing he carries a diagnosis and knows it in his more lucid moments.
I mean, he's a big believer in genetics and his dad at least had Alzheimer's.
When speaking he holds onto podium for dear life
And it was a lovely sight to see.
He is pretty much shown seated now. He is frail and his sense of balance is awful.
Seated and snoozing is his latest profile in courage
Sweet
How many people were in attendance at the Correspondents' Dinner? I am unable to find that information anywhere. It's relevant because he wants his bloated ballroom to seat 1,000. That number seems insanely excessive and downright dangerous.
Isn't this a perfect time to promote his totally secure, anti-drone, safety first, Epstein Ballroom? It's like it was another preordained episode to change the conversation. I'm amazed how quickly ears grow back.
About 2,000 attendees, according to the prep report.
Thank you!
The thing not being mentioned is that the Washington Hilton Ballroom is about 5-10 times larger than the largest figure being proposed for the White House ballroom. Apart from the fact that it would be a travesty for the White House Correspondents to hold its event there, demonstrating that it was totally controlled by the president.
Wow. You made my point better than I did. I've been at charity events and annual banquets at the Washington Hilton, but in rooms (possibly divided) that accommodated fewer guests—maybe 500-650 or so.
Which gave him no chance to appear "presidential" even if he was capable of it.
It’s okay-we all AGREE with you on every word!!!!!!!!! What the hell has happened to journalism….(I know..the rich jerks are buying it up.) Hope some nice country helps us all soon! Take care everyone. The BS they pulled on Aaron Parnas being a friend to the shooter is disgusting!
Hope he’s taking extra safety precautions.
The rest of the world really does need to lend us a hand in fighting against trump, the American traitor and enemy of Democracy.
The Germans will land on the shores of Mar-a-Lago on T-Tag
We the United States helped create the United Nations. We now need them. We the people will need to use the premises upon which that organization was formed to right the mess our current elected officials either can’t or won’t correct.
Times up. The crud and rot goes deep. Too many cowards. No it is not easy. Welcome to the alternative.
Hard cold facts are painful. But we won WWII.
UNITED NATIONS was created for this very reason.
We are in trouble. Our Law is not lawful.
Insurrection is against our Constitution.
American voters are solely responsible for electing Trump - it has nothing to do with either the United Nations or NATO. Alas, you’re on your own.
Celeste, yes. We need to unite with every country willing and remove the unlawful and reclaim our democracy and build back all that they have destroyed.
We had a lot of Dems on our positions at the time of the insurrection who were compromised.
We need to reclaim our Constitution and rebuild all the damage that has been inflicted.
They did?? Where was that?
Check out Aaron’s substack
I also need to address something deeply concerning that unfolded overnight. I woke up to a flood of messages and videos asking about a claim that the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was a former employee of mine. That is completely untrue. These claims appear to be driven by AI-generated content that originated on Facebook and is now spreading across platforms by bad actors. This is not just misinformation. It is dangerous, and if the wrong person believes it, it could lead to serious threats to me and my family. Aaron
Your faithful followers love all the Jeffs. We are all incredibly angry.
We love Angry Jeff, we love Funny Jeff, we love Mourning Jeff, we hope someday soon we can spend some time with Joyful Jeff.
We need anger. We Americans MUST STAND UP. WE NEED TO SAY WHAT NEEDS SAYING.
LOOK at what TRUMP AND PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO OUR WORLD.
AND WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE ADMONISHMENTS TRUMP HANDS OUT???
YEA FOR US FINDING OUR VOICE.
WHY IN THE FUCK WOULD WE BE SILENT?
WE HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH SHIT FOR SO LONG ..,..
IT IS BOILING OVER.
BEING NICE GETS YOU NOTHING BUT MORE OPPRESSION.
YOU KNOW SPEAKING OUT YOU WILL BE LABELED WITH EVERY NEGATIVE WORD THEY KNOW.
LOOK AT HISTORY. LET’S START WITH THE OPPRESSION TACTICS ON WOMEN.
WAKE UP AMERICA. IT WILL NOT BE A PRETTY FIGHT.
YOU DON’T FIGHT IT …….. YOU WILL HAVE THE LIFE OF THOSE WHO LIVED BEFORE YOU. WOMEN BLACKS CHILDREN IMMIGRANTS……
I HAVE LIVED IT.
THEIR POISON POURS OVER EVERYTHING. UNTIL EVEN THE VICTIMS THINK THEY DESERVE IT FOR HAVING BEEN BORN.
WE NEED ACTION NOW IN ALL OUR LEGAL AVENUES BEFORE THEY ARE GONE.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am joyful to see the likes on my post.
We do not want to fall to the depths of Nazi Germany before we act.
You may avoid the worst but those more delicious for them to oppress will suffer more than you have most likely imagined.
They already have done that. The two murders. Liam and his dad. Do you think Liam will ever be the same again ? No he will carry this with him for his entire life. He will suffer from fear black evil dreams and feelings, and inner sufferings. He will never feel safe, always on guard never trusting.
These repugs all of them, are mentally sick.
We need to look at the resources to remove out of office. Drunks, sycophants, incompetent.
I think of those that have been captured and brutalized. Lives destroyed. They will never be the same. Their terror and horror will haunt them. It will uncontrollably be passed to their young.
The horror lives on and on. It is terrifically difficult for their children to shed and live a happy life.
Do we want to be still any longer? Listen to what they said after this incident!!
These are mean and destructive people. They always will be. They will destroy all that is good. They are mentally sick. You can’t reason with that.
Look how horrid Germany got before people rose up. Total destruction.
We must use our laws to get them out of positions of authority. They will never change.
Those who break laws need to be stopped.
The MSM’s sane washing of Donnycon and blaming the left when anything happens though we all know right wing terrorists are far more prevalent is infuriating!
Jeff, do still think the shooting wasn’t a PR stunt to drum up sympathy for dump and his Epstein ballroom?
The manifesto reads as completely genuine to me.
Yes
Now they are going after Aaron Parnas! "I also need to address something deeply concerning that unfolded overnight.

Watch you back Jeff. The bastards are using AI !
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-another-failed-false-flag-assassination-attempt
That's my secret, Jeff. I'm always angry.
Uncle Jeff, there is more than adequate reason to be be fucking angry these days....every fucking day there is something else from this fuckin asshole...every. fucking. day.
Absolutely appropriately, though. ❤️
If pissed off Jeff could gif the shit out of the smug look he gave Melonoma when shit went down that woule be awesome! He was not the LEAST bit surprised.
It’s ok. We all feel that way
Angry Jeff is awesome. And appropriate. I must have said What a Fucking Asshole at least a dozen times while reading/watching the vids in your post today. Loudly. And angrily enough to startle my poor, long suffering cat. I hadn't seen that vile post by Monster Junior before, with his Paul Pelosi Halloween costume. I need to say again, in all caps, WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE!
We are our own saviors, no joke.
Yes
It feels like it may have been staged. I’m really worried about that. is it a push toward those outrageous detention centers for Democrats? I bet dollars to donuts that guy was a democrat.
I read he is no party affiliation but he did give $25 to Kamala, so I guess that's enough for a terrorism charge?
Dana Bash understands the assignment. CNN is owned by Larry Ellison. Or David Ellison. One of the billionaire douchebags who supports fascism in all its forms. Props to Norah O'Donnell who set the Lyndon Johnson trap - not everyone believes that Trump has done what he's accused of, but she made him deny it.
Has it happened to you, Dana Bash
Has your brain been turned to hash?
I guess the Ellison Kool Aid
Has managed to pervade
CNN, trading fact for cash
To be fair, her brains turned to hash long before now.
💥‼️Awesome as always Doc
😂😂😂😂😂
👏👏👏Dana has been a piece of shit for awhile.
It’s worse than that. The Ellisons don’t own CNN yet. But Bash got ahead of that by adopting the GOP talking point. “You meany Democrats called Dear Leader ‘bad for the country’ and it’s your fault people with guns have decided to attack him. Shame on you for your dastardly scheme!”
I’ll ask the question I asked yesterday: How will we tell this CNN from the Ellison CNN?
Ah, I thought the sale was a done deal, but I think you're right. Bash won't be on the list of layoffs when whichever Ellison trims the fat.
Warner shareholders OK’d the deal, the feds haven’t *officially* signed off, but Brendan Carr can’t wait to put his stamp on it.
She may think that--but she's a woman, and older (a felony on corporate news), and Jewish.
Jeff is so right on about the MSM MAGA bias, the delicate "feelings" of the MAGA mobster bloggers and who incites partisan divisions and violence.
Remember when Hillary called the earlier version of MAGites "Deplorables"? Wow, the MSM thought the Democrats had become belligerent antagonists.
When DJT attacks the Democrats as "unhinged Socialist/Communist Lunatics" (about everyday) it's just "Trump using colorful language or it's Trump being Trump".
When Trump pardons the J6 Rioters as patriots, it's "Oh my gosh! Look what happened in America (the lawless) today".
Or killing unindicted civilians in the Caribbean and Iran in the name of national security? WOW. That's really "Trump being Trump" ( a wanton murderer).
The MINIMUM we should expect from the press is so good old "What-aboutism".
And for sure condemnation of political violence on both sides.
She was already well on the way, when she and Tapper "moderated" the CNN "debate" in 2016. Maybe she'll age out when Ellison takes complete control. Probably a little too fair and balanced for him.
And WSJ, the Dumb Antichrist didn't "stand tall" on Saturday, he tripped over his own feet and made the Secret Service try to hoist the big sack of lard from the floor.
I don't know, I think she needs to resign, loudly stating as she does that she's being forbidden to report the news as she knows she should, which is truthfully. Surely she's at an age where she can retire in comfort and stop selling her soul to devils like Ellison and trump.
Thanks Jeff -
The pedo criminal elect and his feckless GOP co-conspirators, apologists, and supporters are hate-speech flame throwers. But what do I know, I'm just an antifa radical left scum domestic terrorist.
Here's an idea:
Instead of a massive Epstein/Trump Ballroom, why doesn’t the pedo criminal elect just get a bulletproof backpack, practice active shooter drills, and rely on, you know -thoughts and prayers?
It’s the same GOP-led plan that is good enough for school children.
Um, perhaps because he stumbles when trying to run away?
Clearly he needs some Josh Hawley running away lessons.

And for him to say he didn't fall is such an obvious lie. They told him to get down on the ground? It's that why they immediately helped his fat ass up and walked him out? Always the lie is what comes out of his ugly mouth first.
Arne, did you notice how JD’s security team got him off the stage before Trump’s team got HIM off? Then, they couldn’t prevent HIM from falling!
They need a hoyer lift for his fat ass
I'd like that to be made into a GIF...watch it over and over like the skateboard antics.
This is an excellent thought. The same standards should apply across our populations! Thoughts and prayers all around. Such an effective gun control method after all.
The preznit is an old dude and needs time to stand and then get his balance before moving, as like a LOT of old dudes. Without it they stumble and fall, as he did when they hustled him out. Then his staff struggled to lift his fat ass up. Speed is not an option for him anymore.
Very true Bethie and probably with a full diaper.
Although I must say I wistfully remember a 3:40 marathon time I turned in when in my late 20’s (sometime in the paleolithic era).
Hurrah! 3:54:57, waaaaay back in the 19’s 🤣
Just finishing is bragging rights for life. But sub-4 hour! Awesomesauce!!!
I saw where someone broke 2 hours in the London Marathon.
It’s not athleticism. It’s those new, engineered, lightweight, carbon jet sneakers. 🤓
Neither is intelligence
Don't think that was EVER an option.
Excellent post. And no, I have no evidence to prove it, but damn it...everything about this "attempt" seems so off. I'm leaning to the Team Fake side. I feel the same way about Butler. And I have just stopped reading ANY corporate media cause it's all bullshit.
Our two party system is such a failure. It creates an 'us versus them' mentality. Nothing of substance is getting done...and the amount of money we're pissing away is heartbreaking when it could actually help people.
If I were queen, then first thing I would do is end Citizens United.
Then I'd make it a felony to litter.
That is all.
It is odd that I don't think he has attended this dinner in years. I could be wrong but I thought he was against it? Didn't he go to one years ago as a guest before he was ever President and Obama (maybe others?) kind of roasted him and he refused to ever go back? Please note I am getting old and my memory may not be totally accurate. But then the one time he shows up this happens?? A little (lot) suspicious to me.
Why is that suspicious? I mean, I really don't understand this line of thinking It's a public event that was known about, in a hotel. The guy wrote a manifesto and clearly had a plan. He had an opportunity and used it. Too bad he failed, even with the Ketstone Kops shitty security.
Actually, nothing is "clear" at all at this point.
Like Irascible, I find the manifesto quite relatable and genuine. But I am also not going to be critical of anyone who finds the whole thing hinky and suspicious. We live in a post-certainty world where reality is hard to ascertain.
Not if you've studied critical thinking and what GOOD questions to ask. I cut my teeth years ago debunking my sisters many ridiculous beliefs, as well as studying the whole 9/11 was an inside job nonsense and how the lies and bullshit claims were picked apart and proven wrong.
I can’t imagine anyone sprinting while carrying a long gun and/ or a bag of some kind with knives and handgun.
An early report said the vest-wearing guy was shot by his own colleague, not the suspect. Now they are saying law enforcement shot five times, not hitting the suspect. The suspect shot one or two times? Couldn’t they tell which?
Nothing is clear at all, except Trump got to argue for his ballroom. And he learned a new word, “impactful.”
The NY Times is giving hourly updates. We know who did it, why he did it, where he lived, etc. The only murk clouding the facts are the speculation, assumptions, and ouright lies.
My thoughts precisely. I'm not usually one to jump to conspiracy theories, but this is highly suspicious, for all the reasons mentioned. You know, timing is everything.
What timing? Should people who wanted to kill the POTUS be storming the Hilton when he's NOT there? Distraction? No one needs such theatrics for that with this admin.
My comment about timing was in reference to trump's demands for the ballroom, the war debacle, the Epstein mess and all the other crap he's pulling. And then suddenly he's insistent on attending this event when he's very publicly ignored so many others. And then this happens. I just find the timing all very coincidental. And I'm not a believer in coincidence. And no, we don't need any theatrics. There's already enough coming from inside the White House.
None of that is evidence of it being staged.
My thought, because I’m not in Trump’s crazy pumpkin head, was that this would be a good time to insult and piss off the press that’s been reporting on his tanking approval and dismiss their “fake news”
It was a public event, easily accessed, and one guy took a chance.
Exactly how we feel too- sympathy votes with Butler - and the whole “ I’m so honored “ baloney” … I don’t trust any of his administration at all…kinda weird to learn about the Usha connection..‼️
I don't trust them either, but I also don't believe they're smart enough to pull off a staged assassination attempt, especially one that got two people killed and damn near succeeded, and not ONE credible person has spilled the beans. Highly unlikely. HIGHLY.
Yes.
That's exactly what happened. Then he blamed Obama for the reason he ran. Fat Whitey could NOT stand that a BLACK MAN joked about the joker. Proof again that narcissists have zero sense of humor.
This was the first time Donnie Demento attended the WHC dinner as president--never went in his first term. He was too mad at Obama and, of course, journalists.
The last time he went was 2011, when Obama roasted him.
What about the folks that do not return their shopping buggies to the cart corrals? 🛒
How could I have forgotten that one? 🤦♀️😆
WhatAboutism at its finest!
Yeah and the people who don’t pickup after their dogs.
Them too! 👏👏👏👏
You’ve got my vote for Queen, Susan!
Here’s your 👸
All it took was a decade for Citizens United to allow billionaires to buy our government, just as intended
Thank you for the 'felony to litter' mention. My biggest pet peeve. I want to force every litterer out onto our highways to pick it up. All of it.
Altho I don't believe either event was staged, this one is more likely between the two. If not for one inch of a head turn at the exact millisecond, that bullet fired by Crooks would have got him just behind the ear. That's a kill shot. No way was that staged; the margin for error was zero, with far too many moving parts. That was sheer luck, despite the bumbling security at that event as well.
Considering the rapidity with which his ear "healed," it's unlikely to have been caused by a bullet, even if the attempt was real. As many have suggested, it's more plausible that his injury came from a flying piece of debris, possibly from the shattered teleprompter.
Many have suggested that and been proven wrong. The teleprompters were intact, there are several photos showing this. The only part of his ear that was hit was the very outer edge, which is a thin curl of skin. His ear didn't heal in any unusually rapid way. Tiny nicks in flesh such as the ears, eyes, and mouth heal rapidly, and all photos showing him the next day without the ear diaper have been proven taken prior to the rally. The amount of blood present is perfectly normal for a blood-rich area such as the outer ear, especially when the person is taking large amounts of aspirin, which he has admitted to.
I agree completely something doesn’t smell right.
We have always had a two-party system and we until then GOP transformed into unrepentant shit-buckets - Reagan, Gingrich and the Tea Party blew it all up. I’m sure I’m leaving someone off…
It's a false flag all the way.
Agree!! And eventually that will be proven.
Monday. Just another day of waking up and not seeing the great anticipated obituary.
So funny, it's the first thing I check upon waking. Sigh, maybe tomorrow!
Those prayers just aren’t working
He does look like shit, though. Hope springs eternal.
Not only that, but he's so off balance (thick) that he can't even get up and out of his own way. major edema going on in that skanky body.
He looked like his head was sinking into his torso at his presser after the alleged incident.
Dang it.
Before the chaos it looked like he was gonna snooze! 💤
I missed the part where he was conciliatory and subdued. All I heard about was how he immediately pivoted to "this is why I need a giant ballroom".
He doesn’t need the ballroom per se, he NEEDS the bunker built underneath so when his term is over (IF he’s alive and lives that long) he’ll have a place to hide and will not leave…
Think the show “Paradise”
THIS. My question wold be why do you need a ballroom for security? Are you going to WEAR it?
And then we could pour concrete over the entrance to his bunker and that would take care of that problem.
I really really like your style girl!!
😂😂😂
Hmmm. There’s a lotta truth in that comment. If the Rs pass the bill to fund the damned thing, this is something to consider.
Oh my… that’s nightmare material‼️
If NPR has to peddle their own conciliatory crap to remain on the air, they can take their "shweaty balls" commentators and turn off the lights. Adios.
On another note, Brick Shithouse Fetterman jumped within minutes after the WHCD to post "Give Trump his ballroom!" The MAGA bots are out in full force to resurrect Fetterman as a great, conscientious politician of enormous common sense. But everything he says and does shouts Trump's yes-man.
NRP/PBS has always been a bastion of bothsidesism, which is why I wrote them off more than 15 years ago.
Fetterman is out of his mind.
That was the whole point of staging the event
Really I knowww- the military wants it too u know.. law enforcement… instead will have lots a guns in this country … but we will have a golden ballroom bigger than the WH‼️
He was quaking in his shoes, and he wasn't "conciliatory" for one split second.
I read where Susie Wiles was responsible for the security detail at the WHCD and now she's on a short leash. They should have held this event at Ford's Theater for a better outcome.
And another one (woman) bites the dust…
Bill, good one!!
In the last 10 years, Trump has attacked, demeaned and threatened nearly every prominent leader of the pro-democracy movement. He routinely attacks his perceived enemies but saves his harshest tactics for his political opponents.
Yet, time and time again, the legacy media insist on asking those of us who stand up to him to tone down our rhetoric. It is as if those of us who insist on the rule of law and call out Trump's authoritarianism are the problem.
The suggestion is that perhaps, if we were just nicer to Trump, things in this country would be better.
Just yesterday, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Rep. Jamie Raskin if Democrats thought twice about their rhetoric against the president. The congressman quickly pointed out that any rhetoric against the president is directed at his authoritarian policies.
- Marc Elias
I'm still waiting for media meltdown about his threat to wipe out an entire civilization. Talk about over-the-top rhetoric!
Cannot believe you led off w/Bash. I saw that yesterday and have been furious ever since… (takes a lot to breakthrough my furious-threshold these days). TY JEFF ‼️
It’s like the newscaster in a made for tv movie script
Yeah, she pisses me off, too!!
Revised since yesterday's post:
When the shots rang out, the Millers
Fled as they ducked and scurried
But those two racist MAGA pillars
Need not have even worried
While they gamboled like headless pullets
Those weren't vampire-killing bullets
Did you see the photo of S. Miller hiding behind his wife? Cowardly. He should have moved in front of her.
He forgot that he's undead
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Okay, Coma Comer, let's see you haul somebody from the regime with security responsibilities for this clusterfuck and grill them for 11 hours like your projection party did to Hilary Clinton after Benghazi, knowing full well that the Secretary of State does not make specific decisions about the security of every consulate and embassy herself. There is a hierarchy for that, dumbshits. Posturing, gaslighting pedophile protectors gonna lie and deflect, always.
Also, Republicans had cut security for foreign embassies/consulates. And they originally planned to use Benghaaaaaazi to undermine Obama's reelection, but after the election, they shifted to Hillary anticipating that she would run in 2016. It was those hearings that alerted the whole country to the existence of our own (Ohio's) sexual predator protector Gymmie Jordan, and not in a good way. I mean, I kept getting asked, "Who is that asshole from Ohio?"
Do you respond “Which one?”
All of the others are faceless backbenchers. I call them Bob "Who?" Latta, Dave "Who?" Joyce, Michael "Who?" Rulli etc. All good little soldiers for Trump. The only Ohio congress people with any profile at all are Democrats and Max Miller (Oh-07), known for his messy divorce from Sen. Bernie Moron-o's daughter, whom he married at Trump's Bedminster Golf Club, his affair with a female bodybuilding, and his road rage incident. And stuff like this: "In 2011, he was charged with "operating a vehicle without reasonable control' and operating a vehicle impaired (OVI) after crashing his Jeep Grand Cherokee, and told officers that he had had 'two to three beers and several shots' the night before and 'woke up in urine-soaked pants.'"
Only the best for Ohio! Luckily, Oh-07 is kind of swingy so we might be able to get rid of him.
Most rhetoric doesn’t cause people to commit mayhem and murder. Donny’s rhetoric actually encourages it - does anyone not remember “you better fight like hell or you won’t have a country anymore”?
That whole day was awful 😢 I cried - stuck in front of the TV - like through President Kennedy’s funeral on black and white TV- both instances were just numbing‼️
The douche is a monster indeed,
He'd be better off smokin' some weed
To blame the wrong side
Keeps fear in his stride
Faux News has now buried the lede.
He's been spoutin' 'bout killing for years
And blown up Iran with no tears
That l'il girls school
Makes him more of a fool
Kick him straight right out on his rear.
Awesome 👏
Thank you!
*li'l
Ooooops.
👏👏👏👏
Thanks Charles!
Lincoln? Lincoln?! Keep tweaking his button mushroom you supine media pigs. How can they live with themselves???
WSJ can really spot 'em
Ain't that right, myopic Faith Bottum?
Do you know what's essential
To be presidential?
This lying crook definitely ain't got 'em
👏👏👏👏
The ass kissing is disgusting!!
Saw a meme that was Lincoln stating that watching the documentary, 'Melania' was the worst night he ever spent at a theatre ...
Did you mean Melissa Hortman? Virginia Giuffre was not a representative.
So it's just another day in the Rapist Protection Cabal (now with Crypto). I can't believe any serious journalists would deign to attend this blather-fest in the first place, and now Kash is on the air talking about (I guess) the national tragedy that the entire US evil empire was seated together in a marginally-secure room. He needs to start every press conference with I ONLY HAD TWO BEERS.
Norah dropping “Oh, do you think he was talking about you?” after reading a terrorist’s rant about a “pedophile rapist” was the closest thing we’ve had to a major-network chyron that just says: HE RAPED E. JEAN CARROLL, AND YOU KNOW IT.
Trump’s response was pure coked‑up grandpa panic. He immediately blurts “I’m not a rapist, I didn’t rape anybody, I’m not a pedophile,” like a guy failing the world’s easiest Turing test for guilty conscience. Man woman person camera TV rapist pedophile. The I AM NOT A RAPIST: TRUMP 2028 shirts are going on sale at the MAGA shops. 39.95, made in China.
RFK Jr. ran out on his wife like a cat jumping off the kitchen counter, while Miller shielded himself behind his pregnant wife while copping a feel because he seldom is allowed that close to her. I mean, probably Elon's baby anyway, right? Also, the clips of people grabbing bottles off the table because everybody is drunk all the time.
What would Rudy do (aside from lying on the bed and unbuckling his belt)?
That was probably really expensive wine on the tables. Why waste it?
Ripping off everything else that isn’t nailed down. Why not the wine too?
I’d be drinking too if I was part of that shitshow…
Excellent recap!
This is great!
