THIS JUST IN: I have been informed that Broadview is a suburb of Chicago, not a neighborhood of Chicago. the post has been updated. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Broadview is just outside the city limits and every neighborhood/suburb flows into each other. Yesterday was a bright sunny day in Chicago and ICE snatched another person off the street in the Albany Park neighborhood - Right in front of my aunts apartment building. She said about 40 neighbors came out onto the street and were recording everything that happened, asking for identification, and telling them to leave. She said it was total chaos. This is a very densely populated and tight knit neighborhood that I have deep ties to -absolutely unbelievable! https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2025/10/12/ice-chicago-albany-park-tear-gas
This happens to me sometimes too! Not enough time to read all of the comments before I post - no mea culpa needed! But, I think the more this information gets out, the better. Yesterday’s despicable incident was only one of many happening throughout the city and suburbs every day. I have already received several alerts this morning about ICE sitting and waiting in store parking lots and at busy intersections.
I DESPISE those FUCKERS! Imagine tossing MILITARY TEAR GAS CANISTERS at American Citizens! - Even worse - not giving one flying FUCK about leaving them behind to be photographed by the people who were the victims!
true, but their 'pardoning power' lasts only as long as THEY stay in power. We MUST fight as hard as we can to evict them FROM any semblance of said power asap. You are right. They ARE the Brownshirts -gestapo thugs in every way.
No, I don't think so. I lived there a long time ago as a young adult. Then I lived near Clark and Diversey and when I got married we lived in Wrigleyville.
Saved me from having to point that out. The ICE facility is in a suburb because Chicago won't allow any in the city. It is, after all, a "Sanctuary" city. I still love the gif of the people protesting in this giant animal costumes.
We could really use a cold, cold winter this winter in Chicago, and maybe white out snow, so Kristi and her team have to use high tech gear to spot people.
She, and Donald and all the rest of Christian Nationalist haters suck!
Just read this - from the Chicago Sun-Times. People are SHOWING UP and chasing the insane fuckers OUT...but they're violating (of course they are) a Judge's Orders BY tossing tear gas canisters without ANY warnings OR warrants where children are playing, bum-rushing people out of the blue despite their neighbours racing to try to save them. I guess THIS is what vance/frump are desperately trying to call 'riots'? We SO NEED to get these photos, videos FACTS and TRUTH out wherever possible. Terrific info today, Jeff!
The NY Times Pitchbot might have a thing or two to say about such a horrible (?) error -- another sign that both sides are contributing to the downfall of democracy and inflationary pressures.
SO - you've seen MY dogs, then? :) Actually, the oldest isn't afeared of ANYTHING - even massive downpours pelting down on his frail little ol' body. (I wa afraid branches would come down on him in what was an AWFUL non-stop and very heavy downpour). He's now on a doggy med for (get this) dementia. He's getting more confused about inside and outside (re where and when to pee or stay) and will bark his little head off outside, even at the thunderous rain. Luka, the younger, is now wiser about 'having to' go outside, so hovers by the backdoor, sneaking in a quick one where before he'd happily race outside doing exactly what you described while leaping high into the air. He now submits happily to being dried and fussed over, nestling snuggily in his warm bed. The old guy doesn't care if he's wet, dry or somewhere in between 'just feed me'.
Was just going to ask IF the cacti will be in full splendour once the rain is done? We love Arizona but haven't been able to return for a while. Used to go every year - Scottsdale then to Sedona. GORGEOUS country. The smell of pinon as one arrived is glorious. Hubby so wanted to move there but I always felt there'd be a serious issue with the (lack of) water. Just wished there was a way we East Coast states could funnel our excess to Az. Now THAT would be a good use of the Feds time and money - and keep them out of our lives and hair.
Not quite. We're in Cleveland, and even our yard, carpeted with hardy ground-cover plants, is completely dessicated. Last week, we were camping about 90 minutes south, and our campsite was nothing but dust.
SO does my Percy. He's torn between coming out to comfort Mommy who's in the throes of an awful migraine (he always knows and I suspect HE might feel it as well when the barometric pressure squeezes my brain - from the look on his face)...then he apologetically and with many backward looks and soft pats, goes off to his hidey-place in the closet. They are SO SWEET! We don't deserve our animals.
It’s beautiful in the Swiss Alps, Jackson Hole, Vail, McKinley, et al. Until you spend 60 years of your life shoveling 6-8 foot high tunnels from your door, driven through 4 feet of it on ice packed roads, through closed mountain passes… then saw the filthy aftermath that’s no longer white but black, you haven’t experienced my disdain for the white winds tearing my soul, and roofs alike off houses and buildings I have built on 16 hours work days, knee deep in it!
You can keep, I don’t care to ever see it again Susan!
Even living on supposedly 'flat' Long Island (it isn't) we get HUGE (to me) drifts which disallow opening of the front AND back doors. If our newest neighbours weren't much youngers, stronger and loved us enough to work their way up our steep driveway then our stairs to shovel/snow-blow a pathway, I couldn't get out at all OR let the dogs out OR get deliveries/mail in the Winter. Our cul-de-sac is the very last one to be plowed...they 'forget' we're here, so it also freezes over. Only good thing is that both dogs LOVE the snow. Since they're all-white dogs that can create a wee bit of a problem, lol.
Long Islanders get a good chance to enjoy the white bliss… I remember younger days working in NYC Elizabeth. I’ve yet to see a dog who didn’t love snow, white ones included!
Should add I’ve had land cruisers, bobcats and front end loaders for the ugly stuff, but convertibles and motorcycles for the rest of the year to help me forget about snow!
Yes, my area of the Hudson Valley is raining. Maybe cats, but certainly not dogs, as mine, "Sir" McDuff (cause if all the imaginary people can Sir the Trumps, certainly my best boy deserves the same) hates rain with a passion worse than his feeling for squirrels!
Donnie has probably never even closed an umbrella in his long criminal lifetime. How lame is it when the wealthy are so utterly useless as this?!
The bag of cash always reminds me of Agnew, who was actually forced to step aside to avoid, you know, legal stuff, back when that meant something, in the time before criminals ran our government. That name, Hooman is ironic. Almost human, but not quite.
LOVE your 'sir McDuff'! Of course he deserves to be treated as the Laird he is (Scots for Lord). :) I'd wager he has far more royal blood than any of the fuckwit frumps so he deserves that 'sir'. They really ARE absolutely useless...the rich who inherit their wealth. They provided nothing, created nothing, built nothing, MADE nothing and if dropped in the wilderness would perish within hours because they KNOW nothing.
Elizabeth: Loved what you wrote! How did you know, "Sir" McDuff is a wee West Highland Terrier, Scottish through and through! He's my royal guy, for sure. In fact, I just put some mac n cheese into the oven to bake. Guess who got a handful of cheddar?!
I so agree! There's nothing on earth more useless than the wealthy, who, from early childhood, buy their way into everything, grabbing while they gobble, chewing through so much, never accepting there's a responsibility to others and the earth itself. Sometimes I imagine any one of them stacking just one cord of wood, and laugh at how lacking in skills they are! Greedy bastards!
We got the tail end of the hurricane in Baja in Vegas last week. Actually really rained and flooded as usual. We love it when it rains here because we seldom see it.
It rains SO MUCH here we grow fungi where we don't want or need them and our trees are covered in lichen, everything feels damp and yucky so this time of year is not fun at all. Suitable for Halloween.
I’m in the Hudson Valley too, and it’s a welcome drench. So far slow enough up here to soak in rather than run off. No huge wind yet either, at least here. I guess the coast is having a different storm; good luck to them. Hope they don’t need FEMA.
Jeff, come on man, it can't be raining cats and dogs up there. EVERYONE knows the Haitians ate the dogs! Ate the cats! Raining ferrets and coyotes maybe, but cats and dogs, no way man! Damn bro, always gaslighting us 😏
How about we all contact our respective state's governor and request they issue a statement that contains words of support for a peaceful protest? Surely, even Republican governors could see the sense in that!
In addition to JDV’s smarm and lying and everything else, I hate how he uses the interviewer’s first name, constantly, in his insufferably condescending way. Also, I think I counted his use of the word ‘chaos’ about six times in this interview. What a pantload this odious human is.
Came here to say the same about that verbal boop on the nose. Like the Canadian observation about the presence of flags on every other house and business asking "do you do that so you don't forget what country you're in?", I'd ask CouchFuck McSofaSoaker "do you keep saying my name so you don't forget who you're speaking with?"
Trump was whining over the weekend how he doesn't think he's going to get to heaven. Somebody should have told him to cheer up. At least he'll be reunited with his father.
Although Cohn was Jewish (so no eternal torture in a lake of fire), I like to think that a special hell was created for him alone. A hell as absolutely wicked and miserable as the man himself.
I'm with you - but I LIKE to imagine horrid people roasting on a spit of their own construct. Slowly and forever watching a replay of everything awful they've done during their life. If you've spent your time being a good human, then you'll have no issues and just exist in a lovely dream-state.
Interesting point, Elizabeth. In one of Anne Rice's recent novels, she kind of goes off the beaten path. She creates a hell populated by people who are shown the actions of their lives, over and over, until they come to the realization that what they did was wrong. Intriguing concept.
I think I speak for the non-delusional segment of America when I say it's about time Stephanopoulos cut Vance off for his blatant lies. Let's see the media do the same every damn time they lie, which is pretty much every damn time they speak.
‘there’s so much criming, they can’t even write down the criming, because someone stole all the pencils.’ LOL! George S on ABC was perfect. There's so much lying they seem desperate.
And the umbrella! 😂 OMG!! See you guys Saturday. ✌️
And it’s not his first time having issues with umbrellas. There are videos from his first time around the block on AF-1. One would think a golfer would know how to operate a frikking golf-sized umbrella. It ain’t hard; really.
He has never prepared a meal, he has never taken a car to be serviced, he has never bought groceries, taken his clothes to the cleaners, done laundry, picked up a prescription, and so many other normal tasks of daily living, probably including seldom having to carry his own umbrella. An umbrella isn’t the only thing he doesn’t know how it works.
Why does JD constantly repeat the first name of his interviewer in response to questions? It comes across as so annoying and like he's trying to diminish the question with his overbearing contempt. Has there ever been a guy with less charm and more smugness? Oh wait, I forgot about Holy Mike, the guy with no savings, still smugly collecting his paycheck while refusing to let the House go back to work.
Well, to me she will always be "Pammy Jo Bond Villain," at least until something better comes along, so I can understand her snittiness. Almost rises to the level of her shittiness.
Re "Vance: “crime is down in Chicago and Portland often because they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping the statistics properly.”
Every time one of these fuckwits makes such a claim, the response should be "How do you know that?" The feds aren't even doing their own crime statistics any more.
Marlene Lerner-Bigley: Actually, all that garbage comes from Home Depot. All that shit is just polyurethane appliqués, spray painted gold.
** Go to Home Depot's website, & look for EKENA MILLWORK MODEL #14X35X01LE. ** Then look at the Oval Office walls. That appliqué ☝️ is EVERYWHERE....on the walls, on the front of the fireplace, all over the damned joint.
BIZARRE: Seems both right AND left call it the ‘Mar-a-Lago Raid’. Duh. It was a legal/warranted search - donnie was given ample notice and watched it on a live camera (I believe). WHY DOES EVEN THE LEFT KEEP CALLING IT A FKN RAID? GEEZus grow up and stop falling for their “Big Beautiful Narrative” every time! I give up
Vance is simply using the technique taught in the Republican playbook called Basic Lying Series 101 for Lying Liars.
It teaches them to never answer a question but instead pull something completely false out of their ass and repeat it over and over and over with a straight face. In the past, with zero media pushback, it would then become “fact” and part of the mainstream discourse.
That someone made the news - Stephanopoulos - because he finally called out one of these liars in real time is actually not heroic but kind of sad…and about 10 years too late.
I'm not going to have a zebra costume in time, but I'll be protesting alongside many others this coming Saturday the 18th, at the birthplace of liberty
Then once his master gets him through the door, he finds the damn squeaky toy he won’t let go bc he loves the sound so much. It’s his go to when he talks to himself bc it always talks back telling him how wonderful he is and how he WAS ripped off not getting the Nobel Peace Prize and that indeed he is NOT going to heaven.

oops! posted before seeing yours! Mea culpa, Gail. I need to read more before posting - but am always afraid I'll lose a link I've saved.

Hopefully those recordings and photographs will be used as evidence at their trials of Crimes Against Humanity.
They do not care because anything they do will be pardoned. They ARE the Brown Shirts.
true, but their 'pardoning power' lasts only as long as THEY stay in power. We MUST fight as hard as we can to evict them FROM any semblance of said power asap. You are right. They ARE the Brownshirts -gestapo thugs in every way.
Assault and battery is a state crime
And they're looking to acquire space in Columbus Oh. for ICE.
Gail that is really cool. Albany Park represents what Chicago is all about.
Yes, it’s a GREAT neighborhood full of people who watch out for each other!
I used to live in Albany Park a long time ago. It was nice neighborhood. I lived near Lawrence and Kimball.
Von Steuben graduate here!
Oh wow!
Oh nice! Did you ever go to Marie’s Pizza on Lawrence just west of Pulaski?
No, I don't think so. I lived there a long time ago as a young adult. Then I lived near Clark and Diversey and when I got married we lived in Wrigleyville.
Oh cool! I also lived in Wrigleyville about 30 years ago. But I spent a lot of time in the Clark & Diversey neighborhood.
Great area. Its sad to think Trump's sending goons to the city.
I’m glad your neighbors protested. Maybe these guys will get tired of always being hassled and realize it’s not worth it.
Anything is possible in these strange times! But I have a feeling that the kind of person who does a job such as this, has no conscience.
Thank you, sir, for keeping us updated and apprised.
Saved me from having to point that out. The ICE facility is in a suburb because Chicago won't allow any in the city. It is, after all, a "Sanctuary" city. I still love the gif of the people protesting in this giant animal costumes.

The sight of those inflatables filled me with joy. On that topic, here's a tip on how to suit up for the No Kings protest on the 18th.

Its fine. Everyone knows its a part of the Chicagoland area.
are all you east-coasters having a fun nor'easter? up here in the Hudson Valley, it's been raining cats and dogs since last night
It’s raining cats and dogs at the Jersey shore too. We sure could use some Haitians right about now.
They're eating the rain, they're drinking the puddles!
SO - you've seen MY dogs, then? :) Actually, the oldest isn't afeared of ANYTHING - even massive downpours pelting down on his frail little ol' body. (I wa afraid branches would come down on him in what was an AWFUL non-stop and very heavy downpour). He's now on a doggy med for (get this) dementia.

We had a dog with dementia so I feel your pain.
They’re eating the poodles…
Whee!
LOL!!
Is it raining cats and dogs???
😂😂😂
🤣
Bada Boom! 🤣
😂😂
Ahahahhahahahaha!!!!
😂
Perfect 👌🏻
😂😂😂
🤣
😂
HaHaHaHaHa
Looking out my window towards the Mystic River. The geese seem to be enjoying it.
you live in Mystic? have you ever eaten at the Shipwright's Daughter?
I was visiting Mystic when my youngest lived in CT and we ate there. Fabulous meal. Also highly recommend Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream.
Nope, Somerville, Mass. The Mystic River is just across the street from me.
[after googling] oh, I see. two different rivers
This is the Mystic River from the Dennis Lehane novel.
What a great movie!
Also, read his book Small Mercies
Absolutely LOVE the Shipwright’s Daughter. We go there every time we are in Mystic. Chef David Standridge is a true master!
Some of us west coasters too. With some thunder and lightning thrown in for maximum excitement.
Even in the AZ desert we’ve had rain for days! It’s gorgeous and so so needed! 🌧️ And I know how to use an umbrella!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's nothing like seeing the desert after a lot of rain...nature is amazing. (I have friends in Tucson and I'm always in awe.)
Raining right now in Tucson! We have had about 2 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. We need every drop of rain!!!
Thats fantastic !! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Was just going to ask IF the cacti will be in full splendour once the rain is done? We love Arizona but haven't been able to return for a while. Used to go every year - Scottsdale then to Sedona. GORGEOUS country. The smell of pinon as one arrived is glorious. Hubby so wanted to move there but I always felt there'd be a serious issue with the (lack of) water. Just wished there was a way we East Coast states could funnel our excess to Az. Now THAT would be a good use of the Feds time and money - and keep them out of our lives and hair.
The smell of wet mesquite is one of my very favorite things. And as I say that, the clouds roll in again with the promise of more gorgeous rain. 🌧️ 💜
My Mom lived in Tucson for 30 years. After a rain (often referred to as monsoons) and it was always a time of celebration!
Where I live in the desert it never rains. Rain is a miracle that we rarely see and greatly appreciate.
We watched lightening in Puget Sound yesterday. A nationwide storm!
Not quite. We're in Cleveland, and even our yard, carpeted with hardy ground-cover plants, is completely dessicated. Last week, we were camping about 90 minutes south, and our campsite was nothing but dust.
PLEASE!! Send us some of that rain! 😉
💥Takin the excitement level to 11‼️
Cold, windy, and just steady rain in Philly today. Blah.
Same here in NW Chicagoland. Not windy but blah enough for my cat to seek refuge in my bedroom closet
SO does my Percy. He's torn between coming out to comfort Mommy who's in the throes of an awful migraine (he always knows and I suspect HE might feel it as well when the barometric pressure squeezes my brain - from the look on his face)...then he apologetically and with many backward looks and soft pats, goes off to his hidey-place in the closet. They are SO SWEET! We don't deserve our animals.
Just outside Philly and it’s miserable.
Soon to be snow is my only concern, rain is a necessity, but snow…
Oh, I love snow! Alaska and I got along really well! 😂😂
It’s beautiful in the Swiss Alps, Jackson Hole, Vail, McKinley, et al. Until you spend 60 years of your life shoveling 6-8 foot high tunnels from your door, driven through 4 feet of it on ice packed roads, through closed mountain passes… then saw the filthy aftermath that’s no longer white but black, you haven’t experienced my disdain for the white winds tearing my soul, and roofs alike off houses and buildings I have built on 16 hours work days, knee deep in it!

Southern Oregon: very mild rain on and off. And we need I too!
Sunny and mid 60s in Columbus.
😞
I'd take it and be glad, actually, as perverse as that sounds.

I always read it "Who, man?"
Tom “Whore-Man”.
Now I must apologize to sex workers, as they do not deserve to be associated with him
That's pretty good, too, Cindi!
Raining cats and dogs? Good news for the Republican food supply. (I'm in a bad mood today).
Seattleite here. How ‘bout those Mariners!!! 🥰
And those Seahawks, and those Kraken!
I'm rooting for them. Castillo and Geno Suarez are former Reds.
We got the tail end of the hurricane in Baja in Vegas last week. Actually really rained and flooded as usual. We love it when it rains here because we seldom see it.
It rains SO MUCH here we grow fungi where we don't want or need them and our trees are covered in lichen, everything feels damp and yucky so this time of year is not fun at all. Suitable for Halloween.
It’s Thanksgiving in Canada, not “Easter”. 😆
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate both the Canadian and US holiday.
I’m in the Hudson Valley too, and it’s a welcome drench. So far slow enough up here to soak in rather than run off. No huge wind yet either, at least here. I guess the coast is having a different storm; good luck to them. Hope they don’t need FEMA.
Sunny and mid-60s here in Northwestern PA.
Up in the Adirondacks and it’s a steady drizzle.
Just a nice cloudy fall day here in Maine.
Send a little bit down to Texas to cool down these October 90 degree days 🥵—- !!
You’re going to have to ask Gavin Newsom to turn on that ginormous spigot he controls -
LOL - I wonder how many Texans believe the stupid-shit frump spews? Do they REALLY believe that one?
🤪😂
It's raining cats and dogs for the 4th day in sunny Arizona. Need the rain and enjoying it!
Jeff, come on man, it can't be raining cats and dogs up there. EVERYONE knows the Haitians ate the dogs! Ate the cats! Raining ferrets and coyotes maybe, but cats and dogs, no way man! Damn bro, always gaslighting us 😏
How about doing what I just did (and am doing every single day)?
Send an email to Mike Johnson's Chief of Staff and Chief Counsel (their email addresses are below)

RELEASE THE FBI VIDEO OF HOMAN ACCEPTING A BRIBE!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Valuable info, Joel. Thanks!
Outstanding!! Copying....
Did it again for added pressure! Thanks. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How about we all contact our respective state's governor and request they issue a statement that contains words of support for a peaceful protest? Surely, even Republican governors could see the sense in that!
My Republican governor is a spineless wienie who cowers when the MAGAs in the legislature say "boo" in his direction.
Condolences. Mine is "Big Gretch"!
DeWhine
That what I came to say. He's such a whiney little bitch.
Oh, man! He really IS!
Not my Republican governor. KKKim Reynolds of Iowa.
Thanks for sharing Joel!
I hope everyone does this. Let’s just flood them. 👍👌
Well done!
Done!
Thank you!

He is a condescending ass for sure.
A condescending, mendacious ass.
With psychotic tendencies....
My opinion of Yale Law continues to sink. If I went there I would be embarrassed
Can't they, like, excommunicate him or something?
Maybe an exorcism? He's supposedly a catholic convert and they believe in that stuff.
👏👏👏👏👏
Came here to say the same about that verbal boop on the nose. Like the Canadian observation about the presence of flags on every other house and business asking "do you do that so you don't forget what country you're in?", I'd ask CouchFuck McSofaSoaker "do you keep saying my name so you don't forget who you're speaking with?"
Just asking questions..
So George should use JD right back not a reference to VP
Damn straight. I'd probably call him Mr. J. Davenport just to throw him off. 😂
❤️❤️❤️ MzNicky!
Trump was whining over the weekend how he doesn't think he's going to get to heaven. Somebody should have told him to cheer up. At least he'll be reunited with his father.
And his mentor Roy Cohn.
Although Cohn was Jewish (so no eternal torture in a lake of fire), I like to think that a special hell was created for him alone. A hell as absolutely wicked and miserable as the man himself.
He died a slow and painful death which was so rightfully on cue for that to happen to him.
AIDS? I know he was a closeted homosexual.
The entire cabinet will have a luxury box closest to the fires.
And others of his paternal line, I assume. Don't know about his mother's side, besides her.
Her hairdo alone made her ineligible for heaven.
Whaaaaat? I was taught that the higher the hair the closer to God.
Even God didn't like that frozen in time Aqua Net horror show.
Well, usually that is the case. But hers was an especially hideous abomination, AND she’s not from Texas. So there’s that.
What?!? Hahahahhahahahah
Not sure he’d enjoy that. It would give Daddy something new to gripe about to his loser son 🤔🤔🤔
Y.E.S. ‼️👏👏👏 Gives me joy in thinking of what’s in store for him. Ooh, ooh…and what about “Mummy Dearest “ ?
Now I’m getting downright giddy at the thought
And he'll get to see Charlie Kirk again!
Lucky for him that neither heaven nor hell actually exist. Otherwise, he couldn't get into heaven in a billion years.
I'm with you - but I LIKE to imagine horrid people roasting on a spit of their own construct. Slowly and forever watching a replay of everything awful they've done during their life. If you've spent your time being a good human, then you'll have no issues and just exist in a lovely dream-state.
Interesting point, Elizabeth. In one of Anne Rice's recent novels, she kind of goes off the beaten path. She creates a hell populated by people who are shown the actions of their lives, over and over, until they come to the realization that what they did was wrong. Intriguing concept.
Just put on my parka for that frosty one!
Ba dum dum tsss
😂😂🫣
I think I speak for the non-delusional segment of America when I say it's about time Stephanopoulos cut Vance off for his blatant lies. Let's see the media do the same every damn time they lie, which is pretty much every damn time they speak.
Oh b-b-but “ACCESS” something something… 😒⁉️
Both sides-ism
Plus the need for endless content creation… they’ve just created another Swamp :/
‘there’s so much criming, they can’t even write down the criming, because someone stole all the pencils.’ LOL! George S on ABC was perfect. There's so much lying they seem desperate.
And the umbrella! 😂 OMG!! See you guys Saturday. ✌️
And it’s not his first time having issues with umbrellas. There are videos from his first time around the block on AF-1. One would think a golfer would know how to operate a frikking golf-sized umbrella. It ain’t hard; really.
He has never prepared a meal, he has never taken a car to be serviced, he has never bought groceries, taken his clothes to the cleaners, done laundry, picked up a prescription, and so many other normal tasks of daily living, probably including seldom having to carry his own umbrella. An umbrella isn’t the only thing he doesn’t know how it works.
He knows how to RUIN EVERYTHING!
He’s an evil Neanderthal. 🙄
Why insult Neanderthals??? ; )
Excellent point. 😂😂😂
That's how those fuckwads should be handled!💪💪
Why does JD constantly repeat the first name of his interviewer in response to questions? It comes across as so annoying and like he's trying to diminish the question with his overbearing contempt. Has there ever been a guy with less charm and more smugness? Oh wait, I forgot about Holy Mike, the guy with no savings, still smugly collecting his paycheck while refusing to let the House go back to work.
Like Bondi, her voice dripping with contempt. " Mr. Whitehouse, uh, Senator Whitehouse . . :
Well, to me she will always be "Pammy Jo Bond Villain," at least until something better comes along, so I can understand her snittiness. Almost rises to the level of her shittiness.
Pammy Jo, just the name reminds me of the old show
Petticoat Junction.
Stupid young women. But I did love Bea Benaderet.
Probably only Neal Stiffleman remembers .Hi Neal !
Slammy Jo (think 'Dynasty')
My friends and I used to call that show “Die. Nasty!”
He’s mocking them. He’s insufferable 😩
He is as smug as those in DC who converted him to Roman Catholicism.
Because JD is a condescending and patronizing asshole.
Tries to disarm them emotionally
Better known as “How can you be so mean to me, Kirsten?” :/
Works though - shifts the energy.
Mockery. And deflection. And buying time by adding superfluous words. JFC
Re "Vance: “crime is down in Chicago and Portland often because they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping the statistics properly.”
Every time one of these fuckwits makes such a claim, the response should be "How do you know that?" The feds aren't even doing their own crime statistics any more.
Regime is constantly projecting...
Whaddabout HOUSTON, LITTLE ROCK, KANSAS CITY, ST LOUIS, ETC.????
Who could have predicted that JD would make such an ass of himself in these interviews? I mean, he was so brilliant in the donut shops.
LOL !
Kristy, So the host of the show should spill coffee all over him, the cure for smug assholes.
Cold coffee, I'm not a monster. 😉
Make sure it’s scalding hot and guided to the vital area, Kristy don’t chicken out on us just do it, he needs it trust me.
I do Douglas, implicitly. 😉
Donny has already stolen enough trophies that he didn’t win. If he wants more let Temu do the job.
VP Couchfucker should be invited on to every Sunday show just to have his mic cut every time he’s on.
I’d pay to watch that every Sunday!
I think Temu is what he uses to decorate the Oval Office with the gaudy shit he has on the walls!
Marlene Lerner-Bigley: Actually, all that garbage comes from Home Depot. All that shit is just polyurethane appliqués, spray painted gold.
** Go to Home Depot's website, & look for EKENA MILLWORK MODEL #14X35X01LE. ** Then look at the Oval Office walls. That appliqué ☝️ is EVERYWHERE....on the walls, on the front of the fireplace, all over the damned joint.
Fake gold for a FAKE HUMAN. 😶
Yep. So gross.
Maybe umbrella closing should be part of the cognitive test that was so skillfully aced?
BIZARRE: Seems both right AND left call it the ‘Mar-a-Lago Raid’. Duh. It was a legal/warranted search - donnie was given ample notice and watched it on a live camera (I believe). WHY DOES EVEN THE LEFT KEEP CALLING IT A FKN RAID? GEEZus grow up and stop falling for their “Big Beautiful Narrative” every time! I give up
Narrative Creep
Tired of the ‘lazy’ aspect… then it becomes more ‘manufactured consent’…😒
That makes me crazy too, P123Sunny. Call it like it damn IS
And if your job is to keep correcting it - THEN KEEP CORRECTING IT!
Vance is simply using the technique taught in the Republican playbook called Basic Lying Series 101 for Lying Liars.
It teaches them to never answer a question but instead pull something completely false out of their ass and repeat it over and over and over with a straight face. In the past, with zero media pushback, it would then become “fact” and part of the mainstream discourse.
That someone made the news - Stephanopoulos - because he finally called out one of these liars in real time is actually not heroic but kind of sad…and about 10 years too late.
Reminds me of Al Frankens book
Lying Liars & the Lies They Tell.
I think I got the title somewhat. 🤔
MAKE A PLAN!
No Kings demonstration on October 18. Spread the word! 👑👑👑👑👑
To find a location, follow this link!
https://www.nokings.org/
I did and was stunned to find the local demonstration was LITERALLY just outside the building where I live.
Hmm .... sounds like a highly organized and well-funded Antifa operation!
This just in from Antifa headquarters: we don't exist.
Really?? The White Rabbit just brought my personal membership card!
Where am I going to engrave my bullets?
Friend Angie, not at my house...
Nor mine.
I'm not going to have a zebra costume in time, but I'll be protesting alongside many others this coming Saturday the 18th, at the birthplace of liberty
Trump reminds me of the dog with a 3-foot stick in its mouth that can’t figure out how to get through the 18-inch dog door.
I’m surprised he was able to waddle up the steps AND hold an umbrella!
Then once his master gets him through the door, he finds the damn squeaky toy he won’t let go bc he loves the sound so much. It’s his go to when he talks to himself bc it always talks back telling him how wonderful he is and how he WAS ripped off not getting the Nobel Peace Prize and that indeed he is NOT going to heaven.
omg
