Ms Spouse and I had dinner with another couple last night and they asked me what I was going to write about today and I quite honestly answered 'I have no idea. everything is terrible.'
When you have to learn about three different flavors of pedophilia to keep up with the current president, you can only hope that the next DEMOCRAATIC president will figure out how to make America GREAT again.
I measured my greatest successes during trump 1.0 by giving myself points for learning to spell misogyny and syphilis without multiple attempts to defeat the red dotted "you can't spell for shit" underline.
Oh, and also sycophant (though I still think it should be spelled psychofant). Now I have to learn the variants of pedophilia? My tombstone should just read, "Does spelling count?"
Excellent! But you probably went into it with an unfair advantage because you already knew the difference between there, they’re, their and your, you’re. And that enabled you to skip MAGA remedial English and move directly into the advanced spelling class!
Any "phile" one uses to describe this CRIME, it is a FELONY punishable by double digits in PRISON, and possibly being registered as a sex offender for the rest of one's life. IANAL, but if there are any criminal lawyers reading this, please correct me. Megyn Kelly, you HAG.
Thanks, Jeff, for posting about this and including that map. I now realize I have another issue to take up with state government: the age of consent in my state is TOO LOW.
Doesn't help that it's pronounced sick-oh-fant. But when I noticed there's a psycho in the word, the red letter misspellings that refused to go away until I look the word up stopped.
Has America ever been great Kathleen? Greatest at colonialism, war, greed, bigotry, hatred, sexual deviance, corruption, the list is endless! A great reason for putting this place in the rear view mirror the way I see things…
Don't think that - as one originally from Glasgow (Scotland) I haven't given SOME thought to this, especially knowing I have actual cousins over there...and then there's my husband's extended family in Altburg, Germany (oh no, let's not go THERE). Nothing against the good people of Germany but I'd imagine most of my time would be spent in getting into trouble with the new breed of adolph worshipers. Then again, my mortgage is paid off, my multiple fur babies' wee souls still are anchored to this lovely piece of land so I feel connected as well. I seriously think more of us good 'uns need to stay and FIGHT, not allowing 'them' an inch more.
I agree. I also have multiple fur babies and could not imagine trying to get them overseas. We can come through this. As they say there are more of us than of them...
Exactly Dave, most of the denizens of this country have never been educated to its real history of corruption, the fustian, fantasy and lies of American history have weaved into a web ignorance!
I think very good on paper not so much in practice. Also USD hegemony post WW2 was a big deal for average incomes and relative national affluence. The moral underpinnings are shit though and the aforementioned national advantages paid for with blood and taxes are being squandered away each day.
and it better be a live Attorney General: my blood pressure can still go up every time I think of Merrick Garland and the fact that he, and by not replacing him, Joe Biden, could have prevented the current shit show by doing his f-ing job.
If there is a next Democratic AG, they will need to spend lots of time cleaning house, as Donnie has appointed a bunch of completely unqualified and corrupt barely-lawyers to that job.
Jeff, regarding the wine that pairs well with thievery and general fuckery, I think you need to look hard at the MD 20/20 for starters and finish with some Night Train Express. By the time those 2 bottles are drained, you just won’t give a fuck.
I learned of Mad Dog 20/20 during college days. As frat pledges, we were forced to drink that foul swill. I don’t think even one grape goes into that “fortified wine.”
Probably because the actual name is Mogen David, it was a cheap wine popular back when.
"MD 20/20 is nicknamed "Mad Dog" because of its reputation for being a potent, cheap, and widely available fortified wine, not because "Mad Dog" is the official name. The "MD" in the name actually stands for Mogen David, the original producer, but the nickname persists due to its cultural association with a strong, dizzying experience and its popularity among budget-conscious consumers. Some people also recall it causing them to feel "mad" and then sick as a "dog".
Oh yes! Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill and some Peach flavor were the go-to’s before we were legal. Then there was “Annie Green Springs.” Sweeter than soda pop.
Bravo, those are excellent choice! Not sure if they still make it, but there was a lovely wine in the same class back in the day called thunderbird, which would be another excellent choice:)
WHEN I was 21 I decided to go out for a drink with my co-workers (their treat) and to have --of course, SCOTCH. One guy (my actual employer at the time, preferred Johnny Walker Red. I sampled a couple of different brands, then decided on Dewar's. Stayed with that - either straight up or with an ice cube or 2 at Rossoff's, the old Theatre Bar we'd hang out in back then. I never liked JW Red, too 'acid' for me. As my taste got a bit more sophisticated, I switched to different brands, finally settling on Johnny Walker Black. FINALLY decided I was done completely after a bad night of real dizziness and the worst headache ever. In fact I still have an unopened bottle IN its cardboard box on my bar - probably 50years old now? along with a lot of other various bottles of liquor from the same era. Hubby drank far too much for my liking (bourbon and coke, blech!) until he finally had to stop as well. Now neither of us drink - at all. I'll have a Bailey's over ice for New Year's 'maybe', depending on the situation. No more wine either, sadly. Migraine meds and wine do NOT mix. Sigh.
There's something sbout wine that's different, even though technically, one glass of wine has the equivalent alcohol content of one shot of liquor. Weird how that works.
Most of the scotch drinkers I used to know drank Dewar's, but yes, Johnny Black is a good choice, speaking as a former bartender. As you say, it's a matter of taste. I was usually a blended-whiskey girl, but not the cheaper stuff. ; )
That used to be me, too. Then I stopped drinking entirely for a long time. The last few years, I've begun to drink wine occasionally, but I've never been able to tolerate it nearly as well as I do liquor.
Decades ago, along with my fellow bartenders, I could start the evening with, say, eight shot-and-mix cocktails, then move on to shots of whatever to end the night. I'd be fine, perfectly able to function, with no hangover. OTOH, one night during that same timeframe, I downed four glasses of wine in about two hours, and was violently ill within another half hour. Sick all the next day, too. Yep, young and stupid.
I miss the days when I voted for president, elected a president, then handed over the keys, saying, "See you in four years. Don't wreck the car."
I look forward to the day when I wake up without immediately wondering, "What fresh hell has he unleashed on the world since I fell asleep?"
P.S. Maybe going to sleep is the first mistake. I should've learned in 2000, when Dan Rather tucked me in and wished me "sweet dreams" after telling me that Al Gore was my president.
I learned back in 1972 when Nixon was re-elected that there would be no rest for any of us. The Washington Post had reported on the Watergate break in the summer before the fuck-wits voted him in again.
It was obvious who the lead criminal was, just like today.
50 years after Watergate, we are asking the same question of Chump that was asked of Nixon: What did the president know and when did he know it. Because it's becoming clear from the Epstein emails procured from his estate that Chump knew what Epstein was doing and Chump did nothing about it. Both republicans. Both despicable.
HE WAS DOING IT WITH HIM! I'm SO TIRED of Epstein being called his 'dead pedo bestie' when even every news site KNOWS they were BOTH THE SAME, except frump had the groomers hand the little 13yr olds gloves and condoms because 'no one touches mr. trump's penis without a glove or condom'. Puke!
all at once. By the way - I just saw (but couldn't get it because my internet blinked), was an instagram post by a youngish man who now states that HE was one of those molested/trafficked. Christinatalkst covered the 'little boys' as well, although my husband might have deleted that post of hers accidentally (he loves her laugh and insight but still can't figure out my Cell) 'How do I stop this?' (while I'm in the middle of something - always), lol. I've been mentioning that there were several little boys from the ages of 11 - 14? or 10 - 12? (can't now be sure, whose parents were PAID OFF by frump -all around the same time as the 13yr old girls. The girls were aware of this! I have a weird feeling that THIS is what's going to blow the whole thing sky high. None of the magats give one flying fuck about girls - but BOYS, now that's something for them to get crazy over. Just perhaps Epstein (who warned that he had videotaped much of what went on) had cameras where these 'rich old men' plied their filthy practices? I suspect he was suicided when he wouldn't give up that leverage, but does ghislaine maxwell likewise have this same knowledge and leverage? It would be VERY INTERESTING and some really good (and not so good) journos seem to be hot on this particular trail - finally.
If we needed to wait for a downright apocalyptic moment to fix things, Hillary's 3-million vote lead in the popular vote in 2016 should have clinched it. (While bashing our heads into the wall, we really need to remind ourselves that, in 2016, the majority of voters hadn't lost their damned minds.)
The 'fresh hell' is that miller's going to convince him to come for New York - after City Dwellers elected Zohran Mamdami as their Mayor. NONE of us outer suburbanites had a say of course - luckily, because more magats fled Upstate and to the further reaches of Long Island, making their presence known in what was once our lovely, mixed and happy to be so, area. Of course, there have always been racist bigots here but they were few and far between. Now they're out and loud.
I've had the same thought since November 4th, Elizabeth: with Mamdani in office, NYC will see the next invasion. Especially after he openly defied Rump.
I saw some awful videos of them bloodying (and kneeling on the necks of) clergy people in Chicago. I KNOW they'll set out to do MUCH worse here in NY. I have good friends who are Manhattan dwellers who are ALL-in to protest loudly and in their faces - about whom I'm very worried. WHEN the Roman Catholic Church is forced to speak out against the literal sitting president of the United States is when one knows that things are taking a very bad turn with that fucker miller going all out to do as much damage as possible. The aim is to control EVERY City - so as the shit hits the proverbial fan about his long list of sins, it won't matter - we'll be under military control, the aim all along - so we can't fight back OR ever vote him or them out.
I wish I could say that I think you're being overly dramatic and pessimistic, Elizabeth, but I absolutely can't say that. I think you're spot-on, on every point. That's why, when so many people talk about the midterms and how we'll flip Congress, it depresses me, because I personally think it's not going to happen. IF there are elections, they'll be a sham, IMO. I'm not throwing in the towel, but I'm not optimistic. I think the only hopes we have are that somehow, enough Rs in Congress see the light before it's too late (very long odds there); OR the NG troops and regular military just say NO (perhaps slightly better odds).
fun fact: according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it's 'kiddie-fiddler,' and not 'kiddy-fiddler.' I googled it, because, y'know, I'm a responsible journalist and all
I am glad that when I explain to my 20-year old daughter that I was sexually molested by my best friend's father when I was 5, I will correctly be using the term pedophile to describe him. The Epstein files talk, particularly the release of the Victoria Giuffre's book, "Nobody's Girl" and someone recommending I read it reminded me of my own experiences which I had forgotten about. I am sure many people are being reminded of their own experiences because of these files. They are part of a national and global trauma.
I'm SO SORRY, Linda! These held-back traumas we 'forget about' because we can't stand to face them - especially as children because we can't find the words/ways to express them, hurt even more than when we're older and DO have the vocabulary. SO MANY CHILDREN carry this trauma for the rest of their lives. I am so sorry you're one as well. Sending you the biggest hug - I hope you can close your eyes and feel it. It's real and deeply meant.
Thanks Elizabeth. I am not feeling traumatized. I was saved from him going farther in his grooming than he did by inadvertently revealing to my parents what was going on. My father sent someone to him who made them move like right away. Next time I went there she was gone. It is a trauma I had forgotten until some comment from someone.
Okay - but just know that it 'can' show up in other ways we're not aware of (even physically). I'm SO glad you're not aware of it consciously because it'll spare you emotional pain.
I get it. My heart still goes out to your 5yr old self who must have been awfully bewildered and so frightened. I HATE those nasty old fuckers who imagine they can 'get away with it' because 'these kids can't talk about it - they're too young'. It never dawns on the morons that their victims GROW UP! Grrr.
I think everyone should read an excerpt or the whole thing to grasp what monsters walk among us currently around the world and in our own fucking WH. Money is truly the root of ALL evil.
Good for you. I did want to point out that Hitler got a lot of his ideas from the Jim Crow South, like his "No Jews" signage came from the "Whites Only" and "Coloreds Only" signs. He got other ideas from the US too, so JD Vance should be included in this penis talk, because he is a Micropenis too.
Most definitely! There were some materials on Race that Facing History, Facing Ourselves used that talked about some of the ideas that Hitler got from the US, just as Trump and Vance turn around and borrow from both the US and Hitler.
Thanks for including this one, Jeff! As a retired genetics professional, I'm well aware of the stance on eugenics of some of our original scientists. This is a great review on the topic. TH Morgan's response was just perfect. He was a brilliant man and Nobel laureate!
What feminist scholar Soraya Chemali said on Ruth Ben Ghiat's Zoom meeting today, is that while each generation of girls is constantly being taught different ways of being, boys have been raised in the same mold for generations and it never changes, and they expect the women then to fit the mold that they were raised in. I know that men change themselves, and there are parents who do not fit into the mold, but the institutions themselves support this dynamic of pushing women into the mold. Here is the first half before the private Q and A, which you might find interesting.
My mother used to tell me about NJ beaches that had signs that read, "No Jews or Dogs Allowed." (Beaches are just giant litter boxes. It would make more sense to ban cats than dogs.)
Another bad memory from childhood: One day a year (on Juneteenth - look it up) the city swimming pool was open to black residents. Later that night, on the news, they’d show film of city workers scrubbing down the pool with soap and scrubbrushes so it could be reopened for white residents only. Amerikka was never a paradise.
Yeah folks! The writer who comes to mind with a book about this is Isabel Wilkerson, and the book is "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents." Read it before the current regime finds a way to ban it!
'tiny mushroom dik' I believe was her take? You know WHY he hates Jimmy Kimmel so much? Jimmy had Stormy on as a guest. He then brought out a flat board ONTO which they'd glued various mushrooms (some bent, some straight) of various sizes from MICRO to quite, ahem, large. She wasn't vicious: she finally - after much laughter and jokes, pointed to a small-ISH one. Jimmy said he was surprised that she hadn't picked out a much tinier one. She shrugged and, if I remember, said something along the lines of her having to be truthful. It was VERY funny - so of course the orange frumpstickdik went ballistic and wanted PAYBACK.
And then - in the thematic field of dictatorial sexual organs - there's Elon Musk's penis. Apparently Musk had an implant and surgery was a bust. And I don't care if it's true or not. Symbolic justice is enough.
Oh fiddle-dee-dee Jeff. I think you have created a new lexicon all together. Who needs Oxford, Cambridge or even Ben Franklin's Almanac when we have you! America's favorite word-smith! Sometimes, odd, sometimes, vulgar but always brilliant!
I’m drinking in a bar in Spain and almost spit my vino blanco all over. The bartender is trying to figure out what’s so funny. Should I sign him up to EIETMOO? Do we have a Spanish version? 😂😂😂
Dear god I’m glad to be out of America for awhile. I can breathe.
I'm in France right now. Hi neighbor. Almost lost it when a member of our group made the statement that Michelle Obama was a man. Out of the blue. The guide had been talking about the controversy whether Macron's wife was a man. No one had mentioned American politics. Ever notice it's always a MAGA running their mouth when no one else is. Well I got even with him - I was giving him my glass of wine at dinner since I don't drink wine. No more. I've stayed clear of him and his wife cause I'm sure he's MAGA.
Frankly I am beyond sick of this wildly misogynist thing of claiming that any woman who isn't petite, blonde and submissive is a "man." I went through this back in the AOL message board days when I was a monitor on the Serena Williams board. You could always identify the white men by this. (The black men thought she was the hottest thing they'd ever seen.)
One of my main jobs was removing racist posts — and they were legion. Whenever there was a major tournament going on, and it was featured on AOL's front page, we had an influx of non-tennis fans eager to expose how racist they were. They absolutely hated it when Serena was winning (which she usually was) and one of their big contentions was that because of her "ugly manly power game" she would be injured and gone from the sport very soon, unlike the "beautiful feminine" players like Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova. Both Kornikova and Hingis were injured and retired inter early 20; the Williams sisters both played well into their 30s. Hah hah.
I was SO HOPING that would've been your move, but alas, like me - you're probably too much of a lady in public. Right on his crotch would've been perfect - especially if it was a nice dark burgundy. ;)
I am in Germany and am happy to report seeing "86 47" stickers featuring a drawing of a bucket of shit both in Berlin and München. Also FCK GOP to complement the FCK AFD stickers.
I wish there was more of this sort of thing in the US.
I’ve been on 3 European tours with Americans in the last year and, thankfully, only once did we have an idiot who had to let us know she’s a MAGAt. In Switzerland in September, tariffs came up a few times. This stupid woman condescendingly says each time “tariffs are nothing. He’s going to fix it. He’s going to fix it”. I moved away each time so that I didn’t respond. Pretty sure she still knew I was not on her side as I’m not good at all about hiding it.
Well, if you have to option to stay in Spain then I would certainly recommend it. In fact, you could rent out the spare bedroom to your many friends. The Jeff fan club could meet there once a year. Nice.
Yes! I love this idea! I feel like I know so many of you. First I need to get my one year non lucrative visa. I’ll let you know how it goes! Then let the fun begin!!
In the Ninth Circle. As opposed to Rump, Miller, Bannon, Kegsbreath, Blondi, J. Divan, K$sh, and the other minions, who will have a 12th Circle built just for them.
Well, if there’s one thing I got from Megyn Kelly’s take on pedos, is that I now have a better understanding of the women who voted for the pedo in the WH.
I’d like to know what % of GOP women are victims. Because there has to be a big overlap when you do the venn diagram of evangelicals, pastors, GOP politicians & perps of sex crimes.
Yeah, this is dark, dark shit. Hard even to try to craft a commentary. It’s primitive, dark shit. Beyond hillbilly logic. Beyond the pale of civilized discourse.
Fatfuck is trying to spin it. He will not succeed. For once.
He may suffer some consequences, but all this performative congressional bullshit about passing the bill to release the files is prolly likely to be quickly vetoed by the orange turd.
The information is now out there. More will be revealed. We will get our blue wave. Dems are winning every contest, even the small ones. Each win is important. If you see an opening for the school board or any other office, please consider running. Every win is important.
For the 955th fucking time, Congress can get everything they need, as they have BEEN, getting all the files they need via the HoR’s direct subpoena of the EPSTEIN ESTATE. They don’t even need the discharge petition to be approved.
Let's quit calling it sex trafficking and begin calling it what it is: rape trafficking. These pedophiles are not having sex with underage girls, they are raping them. Sex implies mutuality; rape is a power move where the victim has no choice.
My husband had another take on it today: even if some of the girls were past the age of consent, it was all HUMAN trafficking, so all evil and felonious.
Kelly has been a POS for awhile now. It's a major reason why I don't care what gender my politician is. I think it's great that women have the opportunity to be in politics if they choose now, but that doesn't mean they are any better than the men once they get elected. I work in a profession that is about 95% female. Warm and fuzzy it's not. A posse of passive, aggressive back stabbers. Kelly wants the money and ratings.
Live in San Francisco and have rented in almost every neighborhood. At Haight and Fillmore some huge Japanese corporation owned practically the whole block. Dozens of apartments and maybe some of the store fronts. They’re making a fortune! Re rental market: You can’t find an apartment and when you do, it’s beyond exorbitant rent.
There’s a certain rancid consistency to this crowd. You could set your watch by their shamelessness, if the battery hadn’t corroded from exposure to their nonsense. Eric Trump bragging about casually yo-yoing half a billion in crypto on a Sunday night is the kind of line that would’ve been satire ten years ago. Now it’s just family tradition.
But the Megyn Kelly moment… that one hits different. It’s the sort of moral rot you don’t even need ultraviolet light to see. She’s out here playing semantic hopscotch with crimes against children like she’s doing a podcast deep-dive on artisanal cheese. When someone’s first instinct is to defend the indefensible, you get a glimpse of the whole ecosystem that raised them. And that ecosystem is dry, cracked earth right now.
I actually wrote about that particular contortionism today and how pundits wander into the shadow of the Epstein story and pretend they don’t notice what’s under their feet. It’s the kind of moral fog that tells you exactly where the line between loyalty and integrity snapped.
Investigations into these immoral wastrels, are years/decades long and readily available to anyone with a curious mind. It’s unfathomable to me at what’s become news!
I've actually applied for a mortgage more than once. In fact, I just took out a second mortgage 3 or 4 months ago. Guess what Shay D. Vance? You have to prove you're a U.S. citizen. There ain't no illegal immigrants buying up all our housing.
It's amazing, the shenanigans the "illegals" get up to.....Casting all those votes, eating all those dawgs and cats, buying up all those houses, raking in those Social Security checks (maybe that's how they afford the houses? 'Cause, you know, Social Security is a scam, filling the houses of lazy asses who thought they deserved to retire with buckets of government cash), buying beer and cigarettes and filet mignon with their SNAP benefits, and using up all the healthcare in the US with their Medicaid and Medicare. It's a wonder how any of them manage to find the time to mow JustaDick Vance's lawn.
Imma go bury my head in a pillow so I don't alarm the cats when I primal scream.
I think you covered all the evils alleged against the "illegals" except that they are raping and murdering white women. What was that name again...Laken Riley?
It's absurd. Houses are ridiculously expensive. I don't think that day laborers and house cleaners are snapping them up. I suppose it's nice to think that's true if you live in a broken-down trailer in a shitty park, smoking heroin. We all need our dreams.
"Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him. This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his “Island.” Stay tuned!!!"
& i just read part of a couple tweets Aaron Rupar shared. Do we need to gift you Old Spice shower stuff for Xmas to wash it off? Or maybe car wash stuff is more effective.
"he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were but would look legal to a passer-bye" - EXCUSE ME, which was it? Passing for even younger, or look legal? WHICH THE FUCK IS IT, you worthless lump of blond-topped lying flesh?
I have a 15 yo daughter and when I heard Megyn Kelly's remarks, I thought, oh, okay she doesn't have kids, let alone a daughter so she isn't mentally putting her child on Epstein's island, never mind scraping together any empathy for kids who *aren't hers*. She's in that group that has so completely detached from reality in order to preserve her way of life and who has so completely dehumanized victims in order to keep licking trump's ass, that she's going to spew this vile shit.
But she has a 14 yo daughter??? What. the. fuck.
I don't understand. I look at trump and I wonder why him. Him??? They've sold their soul (and that of their children, apparently) for that blob of putrescence?
Someday, MK's daughter is going to see the video of what her mother said and I hope by then she's broken free and had lots of therapy and never speaks to that vile harpy ever again.
Ms Spouse and I had dinner with another couple last night and they asked me what I was going to write about today and I quite honestly answered 'I have no idea. everything is terrible.'
so this one is dedicated to them
When you have to learn about three different flavors of pedophilia to keep up with the current president, you can only hope that the next DEMOCRAATIC president will figure out how to make America GREAT again.

🤣🤣🤣
Psychofant. It should totally be spelled like that!
Nice! I am going to use this!
Any "phile" one uses to describe this CRIME, it is a FELONY punishable by double digits in PRISON, and possibly being registered as a sex offender for the rest of one's life. IANAL, but if there are any criminal lawyers reading this, please correct me. Megyn Kelly, you HAG.
Thanks, Jeff, for posting about this and including that map. I now realize I have another issue to take up with state government: the age of consent in my state is TOO LOW.
🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't help that it's pronounced sick-oh-fant. But when I noticed there's a psycho in the word, the red letter misspellings that refused to go away until I look the word up stopped.
Mine was defenestration.
I forgot about that one. For the longest time, even when spelled correctly, defenestration got the red underline.
Has America ever been great Kathleen? Greatest at colonialism, war, greed, bigotry, hatred, sexual deviance, corruption, the list is endless! A great reason for putting this place in the rear view mirror the way I see things…
Don't think that - as one originally from Glasgow (Scotland) I haven't given SOME thought to this, especially knowing I have actual cousins over there...and then there's my husband's extended family in Altburg, Germany (oh no, let's not go THERE). Nothing against the good people of Germany but I'd imagine most of my time would be spent in getting into trouble with the new breed of adolph worshipers. Then again, my mortgage is paid off, my multiple fur babies' wee souls still are anchored to this lovely piece of land so I feel connected as well. I seriously think more of us good 'uns need to stay and FIGHT, not allowing 'them' an inch more.
I agree. I also have multiple fur babies and could not imagine trying to get them overseas. We can come through this. As they say there are more of us than of them...
If you live in the USA and are a blockhead , you might think it’s great. To everyone else here and the entire world community, they know the score.
Exactly Dave, most of the denizens of this country have never been educated to its real history of corruption, the fustian, fantasy and lies of American history have weaved into a web ignorance!
Agree, it's time for a cleansing and a reboot from what we've learned, good and bad. Kinda like real life should be.
I think very good on paper not so much in practice. Also USD hegemony post WW2 was a big deal for average incomes and relative national affluence. The moral underpinnings are shit though and the aforementioned national advantages paid for with blood and taxes are being squandered away each day.
Poignantly stated Bradley!
I hope the next DEMOCRAATICALLY appointed Attorney General will figure out how to hold trump accountable for his crimes.
and it better be a live Attorney General: my blood pressure can still go up every time I think of Merrick Garland and the fact that he, and by not replacing him, Joe Biden, could have prevented the current shit show by doing his f-ing job.
If there is a next Democratic AG, they will need to spend lots of time cleaning house, as Donnie has appointed a bunch of completely unqualified and corrupt barely-lawyers to that job.
Would love to see Jack Smith, or someone of his caliber and respect for the law, as an appointee.
This!!! 👆🏼
Jeff, regarding the wine that pairs well with thievery and general fuckery, I think you need to look hard at the MD 20/20 for starters and finish with some Night Train Express. By the time those 2 bottles are drained, you just won’t give a fuck.
I was going to suggest moose piss, but I've never had Mad Dog. Maybe they're similar?
Ah, Mad Dog! Memories of my high school days. Slumber parties and hanging out at the lake … and mornings after. Not all memories are good.
P. S. I've never tried moose piss, either! Just wanted to clarify.
I learned of Mad Dog 20/20 during college days. As frat pledges, we were forced to drink that foul swill. I don’t think even one grape goes into that “fortified wine.”
It’s swill for sure. Drink 2 bottles and you’re praying to the porcelain gods all night long!
Well....to be fair, most people couldn't drink two bottles of any wine in one evening and escape the porcelain gods.
Drink two tiny sips, ya mean.
Probably because the actual name is Mogen David, it was a cheap wine popular back when.
"MD 20/20 is nicknamed "Mad Dog" because of its reputation for being a potent, cheap, and widely available fortified wine, not because "Mad Dog" is the official name. The "MD" in the name actually stands for Mogen David, the original producer, but the nickname persists due to its cultural association with a strong, dizzying experience and its popularity among budget-conscious consumers. Some people also recall it causing them to feel "mad" and then sick as a "dog".
Great observation!
Mad Dog is not moonshine. It is what gets put into a brown paper bag and passed around
Moonshine?
Damn, I’d forgotten all about MD2020 Walt…thanks!
Same🙃
Don't sell good old Ripple short!😂😂
OMG Ripple, night train lol I made more than a few visits to the porcelain goddess
Yes indeed, or even a saucy vintage of Riunite Lambrusco, which I personally enjoyed waaay back when the drinking age was 18.
Hmmm. I thought it was Diet Coke!
😂😂
Boones Farm was our go to in farm country growing up.
Oh yes! Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill and some Peach flavor were the go-to’s before we were legal. Then there was “Annie Green Springs.” Sweeter than soda pop.
and don't forget, the classy mateus
Bravo, those are excellent choice! Not sure if they still make it, but there was a lovely wine in the same class back in the day called thunderbird, which would be another excellent choice:)
I hadn't thought about "the bird" since high school '61
Shit. I just go straight for the liquor.
WHEN I was 21 I decided to go out for a drink with my co-workers (their treat) and to have --of course, SCOTCH. One guy (my actual employer at the time, preferred Johnny Walker Red. I sampled a couple of different brands, then decided on Dewar's. Stayed with that - either straight up or with an ice cube or 2 at Rossoff's, the old Theatre Bar we'd hang out in back then. I never liked JW Red, too 'acid' for me. As my taste got a bit more sophisticated, I switched to different brands, finally settling on Johnny Walker Black. FINALLY decided I was done completely after a bad night of real dizziness and the worst headache ever. In fact I still have an unopened bottle IN its cardboard box on my bar - probably 50years old now? along with a lot of other various bottles of liquor from the same era. Hubby drank far too much for my liking (bourbon and coke, blech!) until he finally had to stop as well. Now neither of us drink - at all. I'll have a Bailey's over ice for New Year's 'maybe', depending on the situation. No more wine either, sadly. Migraine meds and wine do NOT mix. Sigh.
There's something sbout wine that's different, even though technically, one glass of wine has the equivalent alcohol content of one shot of liquor. Weird how that works.
Most of the scotch drinkers I used to know drank Dewar's, but yes, Johnny Black is a good choice, speaking as a former bartender. As you say, it's a matter of taste. I was usually a blended-whiskey girl, but not the cheaper stuff. ; )
That used to be me, too. Then I stopped drinking entirely for a long time. The last few years, I've begun to drink wine occasionally, but I've never been able to tolerate it nearly as well as I do liquor.
Decades ago, along with my fellow bartenders, I could start the evening with, say, eight shot-and-mix cocktails, then move on to shots of whatever to end the night. I'd be fine, perfectly able to function, with no hangover. OTOH, one night during that same timeframe, I downed four glasses of wine in about two hours, and was violently ill within another half hour. Sick all the next day, too. Yep, young and stupid.
How nice that things are so horrible that you never have a shortage of things to write about.
I miss the days when I voted for president, elected a president, then handed over the keys, saying, "See you in four years. Don't wreck the car."
I look forward to the day when I wake up without immediately wondering, "What fresh hell has he unleashed on the world since I fell asleep?"
P.S. Maybe going to sleep is the first mistake. I should've learned in 2000, when Dan Rather tucked me in and wished me "sweet dreams" after telling me that Al Gore was my president.
I learned back in 1972 when Nixon was re-elected that there would be no rest for any of us. The Washington Post had reported on the Watergate break in the summer before the fuck-wits voted him in again.
It was obvious who the lead criminal was, just like today.
50 years after Watergate, we are asking the same question of Chump that was asked of Nixon: What did the president know and when did he know it. Because it's becoming clear from the Epstein emails procured from his estate that Chump knew what Epstein was doing and Chump did nothing about it. Both republicans. Both despicable.
HE WAS DOING IT WITH HIM! I'm SO TIRED of Epstein being called his 'dead pedo bestie' when even every news site KNOWS they were BOTH THE SAME, except frump had the groomers hand the little 13yr olds gloves and condoms because 'no one touches mr. trump's penis without a glove or condom'. Puke!
He didn’t use a condom with Stormy
Ewwwww!!!! But yes, perverts of the same brand.
Everything. Always.
all at once. By the way - I just saw (but couldn't get it because my internet blinked), was an instagram post by a youngish man who now states that HE was one of those molested/trafficked. Christinatalkst covered the 'little boys' as well, although my husband might have deleted that post of hers accidentally (he loves her laugh and insight but still can't figure out my Cell) 'How do I stop this?' (while I'm in the middle of something - always), lol. I've been mentioning that there were several little boys from the ages of 11 - 14? or 10 - 12? (can't now be sure, whose parents were PAID OFF by frump -all around the same time as the 13yr old girls. The girls were aware of this! I have a weird feeling that THIS is what's going to blow the whole thing sky high. None of the magats give one flying fuck about girls - but BOYS, now that's something for them to get crazy over. Just perhaps Epstein (who warned that he had videotaped much of what went on) had cameras where these 'rich old men' plied their filthy practices? I suspect he was suicided when he wouldn't give up that leverage, but does ghislaine maxwell likewise have this same knowledge and leverage? It would be VERY INTERESTING and some really good (and not so good) journos seem to be hot on this particular trail - finally.
Yes, Trump knew what Epstein was doing, and Trump did something about it. He engaged!
It seems THAT, Skangirl was the beginning of the end. (Reagan probably was but yknow). Dems needed to fight to win but as usual didnt.
If we needed to wait for a downright apocalyptic moment to fix things, Hillary's 3-million vote lead in the popular vote in 2016 should have clinched it. (While bashing our heads into the wall, we really need to remind ourselves that, in 2016, the majority of voters hadn't lost their damned minds.)
Reagan’s 2nd term - I mean did we ‘survive’… And yeah 2000 was the fork in the road imo :/
The 'fresh hell' is that miller's going to convince him to come for New York - after City Dwellers elected Zohran Mamdami as their Mayor. NONE of us outer suburbanites had a say of course - luckily, because more magats fled Upstate and to the further reaches of Long Island, making their presence known in what was once our lovely, mixed and happy to be so, area. Of course, there have always been racist bigots here but they were few and far between. Now they're out and loud.
I've had the same thought since November 4th, Elizabeth: with Mamdani in office, NYC will see the next invasion. Especially after he openly defied Rump.
I saw some awful videos of them bloodying (and kneeling on the necks of) clergy people in Chicago. I KNOW they'll set out to do MUCH worse here in NY. I have good friends who are Manhattan dwellers who are ALL-in to protest loudly and in their faces - about whom I'm very worried. WHEN the Roman Catholic Church is forced to speak out against the literal sitting president of the United States is when one knows that things are taking a very bad turn with that fucker miller going all out to do as much damage as possible. The aim is to control EVERY City - so as the shit hits the proverbial fan about his long list of sins, it won't matter - we'll be under military control, the aim all along - so we can't fight back OR ever vote him or them out.
I wish I could say that I think you're being overly dramatic and pessimistic, Elizabeth, but I absolutely can't say that. I think you're spot-on, on every point. That's why, when so many people talk about the midterms and how we'll flip Congress, it depresses me, because I personally think it's not going to happen. IF there are elections, they'll be a sham, IMO. I'm not throwing in the towel, but I'm not optimistic. I think the only hopes we have are that somehow, enough Rs in Congress see the light before it's too late (very long odds there); OR the NG troops and regular military just say NO (perhaps slightly better odds).
Epstein Files. Don't leave that boner alone.
U N R E D A C T E D
You got it, Sunny!
Well look at it this way, Uncle Jeff…At least you’ll never run out of material. Glass half full. 🙄
fun fact: according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it's 'kiddie-fiddler,' and not 'kiddy-fiddler.' I googled it, because, y'know, I'm a responsible journalist and all
https://www.oed.com/dictionary/kiddie-fiddler_n?tl=true
I am glad that when I explain to my 20-year old daughter that I was sexually molested by my best friend's father when I was 5, I will correctly be using the term pedophile to describe him. The Epstein files talk, particularly the release of the Victoria Giuffre's book, "Nobody's Girl" and someone recommending I read it reminded me of my own experiences which I had forgotten about. I am sure many people are being reminded of their own experiences because of these files. They are part of a national and global trauma.
Yes Linda, reading these essays brings it right back. A trauma revisited, unwanted.
Damn… that’s over the top shocking Linda!
😔❤️
I'm SO SORRY, Linda! These held-back traumas we 'forget about' because we can't stand to face them - especially as children because we can't find the words/ways to express them, hurt even more than when we're older and DO have the vocabulary. SO MANY CHILDREN carry this trauma for the rest of their lives. I am so sorry you're one as well. Sending you the biggest hug - I hope you can close your eyes and feel it. It's real and deeply meant.
Thanks Elizabeth. I am not feeling traumatized. I was saved from him going farther in his grooming than he did by inadvertently revealing to my parents what was going on. My father sent someone to him who made them move like right away. Next time I went there she was gone. It is a trauma I had forgotten until some comment from someone.
Okay - but just know that it 'can' show up in other ways we're not aware of (even physically). I'm SO glad you're not aware of it consciously because it'll spare you emotional pain.
Elizabeth, I have had therapy, where that was not necessarily the direct focus, but probably played a role in it.
I get it. My heart still goes out to your 5yr old self who must have been awfully bewildered and so frightened. I HATE those nasty old fuckers who imagine they can 'get away with it' because 'these kids can't talk about it - they're too young'. It never dawns on the morons that their victims GROW UP! Grrr.
😢🫂
My God! 💔💔💔
I think everyone should read an excerpt or the whole thing to grasp what monsters walk among us currently around the world and in our own fucking WH. Money is truly the root of ALL evil.
I am so damn sorry for that memory for you, Linda. 💔
Thank you Susie! ✌🏾
I'm so sorry!
Thank you STF! ✌🏾
So Jeff, Tomorrow, Im publishing the "Hitler Had MicroPenis, and Trump probably does too" article tomorrow. And its fucking Juicy.
Good for you. I did want to point out that Hitler got a lot of his ideas from the Jim Crow South, like his "No Jews" signage came from the "Whites Only" and "Coloreds Only" signs. He got other ideas from the US too, so JD Vance should be included in this penis talk, because he is a Micropenis too.
Hitler loved our take on eugenics, too
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2757926/
Most definitely! There were some materials on Race that Facing History, Facing Ourselves used that talked about some of the ideas that Hitler got from the US, just as Trump and Vance turn around and borrow from both the US and Hitler.
Henry Ford’s Antisemitism also had a lot of influence on the Nazi’s.
Brilliant
Thanks for including this one, Jeff! As a retired genetics professional, I'm well aware of the stance on eugenics of some of our original scientists. This is a great review on the topic. TH Morgan's response was just perfect. He was a brilliant man and Nobel laureate!
Appears American males are in need of serious medical intervention!
What feminist scholar Soraya Chemali said on Ruth Ben Ghiat's Zoom meeting today, is that while each generation of girls is constantly being taught different ways of being, boys have been raised in the same mold for generations and it never changes, and they expect the women then to fit the mold that they were raised in. I know that men change themselves, and there are parents who do not fit into the mold, but the institutions themselves support this dynamic of pushing women into the mold. Here is the first half before the private Q and A, which you might find interesting.
https://youtu.be/6eGcBR_DPtI
My mother used to tell me about NJ beaches that had signs that read, "No Jews or Dogs Allowed." (Beaches are just giant litter boxes. It would make more sense to ban cats than dogs.)
Another bad memory from childhood: One day a year (on Juneteenth - look it up) the city swimming pool was open to black residents. Later that night, on the news, they’d show film of city workers scrubbing down the pool with soap and scrubbrushes so it could be reopened for white residents only. Amerikka was never a paradise.
Despicable horrible lousy humans. That is the worst thing I have heard in a very long time.
😂
Yeah folks! The writer who comes to mind with a book about this is Isabel Wilkerson, and the book is "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents." Read it before the current regime finds a way to ban it!
Stormy said his endowment was less than impressive.
As was his endurance, which actually worked to her benefit. "Worst 30 seconds of my life"
How could he have impregnated his wives (god knows who else!) with something that puny. Could they have used IVF?
Hung like a light switch!
Thats being generous.
😂😂
The devil knows.
Like a little mushroom 🍄
Toadstool…
🤮🤮🤮
'tiny mushroom dik' I believe was her take? You know WHY he hates Jimmy Kimmel so much? Jimmy had Stormy on as a guest. He then brought out a flat board ONTO which they'd glued various mushrooms (some bent, some straight) of various sizes from MICRO to quite, ahem, large. She wasn't vicious: she finally - after much laughter and jokes, pointed to a small-ISH one. Jimmy said he was surprised that she hadn't picked out a much tinier one. She shrugged and, if I remember, said something along the lines of her having to be truthful. It was VERY funny - so of course the orange frumpstickdik went ballistic and wanted PAYBACK.
Watch till the end; re-rump's penis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ji8i7Wy4mo
THAT's the clip I JUST wrote about - geesh, I SO need to read further before posting. Ach du lieber! Now I have to watch it again. :)
Gosh, Stormy was so funny.
Can’t wait, Wendy!👀
And then - in the thematic field of dictatorial sexual organs - there's Elon Musk's penis. Apparently Musk had an implant and surgery was a bust. And I don't care if it's true or not. Symbolic justice is enough.
Ooh! Can blot wait for that one!
“responsible journalist”….yes you are…one of very few! Thank you for being here!
I prefer kiddie diddler because that was what ackchyually was going on. SMH
All of those terms sound too benign. Just call they what they are, perverts and baby f*@*ers.
When they go low
We still spellcheck
Ha!!! I’m saving that.
Oh fiddle-dee-dee Jeff. I think you have created a new lexicon all together. Who needs Oxford, Cambridge or even Ben Franklin's Almanac when we have you! America's favorite word-smith! Sometimes, odd, sometimes, vulgar but always brilliant!
Oh, I NEVER think of Jeff as 'vulgar'. Delightfully accurate is far more on point.
But because you are responsible can we really call you a journalist anymore? The phrase is becoming oxymoronic.
You're the best!
Kiddie-diddler. He has nothing to do with fiddles.
My absolute favorite AI (I hate them but use them anyway) is Perplexity AI.
They ALL HALLUCINATE though. So use it with caution.
I’m drinking in a bar in Spain and almost spit my vino blanco all over. The bartender is trying to figure out what’s so funny. Should I sign him up to EIETMOO? Do we have a Spanish version? 😂😂😂
Dear god I’m glad to be out of America for awhile. I can breathe.
PS. Meghan Kelley is a depraved bitch.
I'm in France right now. Hi neighbor. Almost lost it when a member of our group made the statement that Michelle Obama was a man. Out of the blue. The guide had been talking about the controversy whether Macron's wife was a man. No one had mentioned American politics. Ever notice it's always a MAGA running their mouth when no one else is. Well I got even with him - I was giving him my glass of wine at dinner since I don't drink wine. No more. I've stayed clear of him and his wife cause I'm sure he's MAGA.
Frankly I am beyond sick of this wildly misogynist thing of claiming that any woman who isn't petite, blonde and submissive is a "man." I went through this back in the AOL message board days when I was a monitor on the Serena Williams board. You could always identify the white men by this. (The black men thought she was the hottest thing they'd ever seen.)
Thanks for taking care of our GOAT 💞
One of my main jobs was removing racist posts — and they were legion. Whenever there was a major tournament going on, and it was featured on AOL's front page, we had an influx of non-tennis fans eager to expose how racist they were. They absolutely hated it when Serena was winning (which she usually was) and one of their big contentions was that because of her "ugly manly power game" she would be injured and gone from the sport very soon, unlike the "beautiful feminine" players like Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova. Both Kornikova and Hingis were injured and retired inter early 20; the Williams sisters both played well into their 30s. Hah hah.
Venus played in the US Open at 40.
Hingi retired at 22 with her "beautiful feminine" game and lots of injuries.
We need more people like you!! And wildly, Venus is still playing! 💪🎾
My god. Ruin everyone's vacation why don't you? What an asshole. I wish the wine had spilled on him as you passed it to the jerk.
I would tossed it in his lap-if I had already had a glass or two! 😂
Throw it in his fuck face and follow up with a right cross!😡
Hey you ... settle down. 😂😂 But I agree. 🤷🏼♀️
I was SO HOPING that would've been your move, but alas, like me - you're probably too much of a lady in public. Right on his crotch would've been perfect - especially if it was a nice dark burgundy. ;)
Well, I suppose so...but under the right conditions, depending on how much my intake was...one never knows! I just like to think I'm a bad ass. 🤣🤣
Hot coffee is more effective
I am in Germany and am happy to report seeing "86 47" stickers featuring a drawing of a bucket of shit both in Berlin and München. Also FCK GOP to complement the FCK AFD stickers.
I wish there was more of this sort of thing in the US.
Thats encouraging!
Hi Deborah! I can’t believe you didn’t toss your glass in his lap. Whatta jerk!! Enjoy your time- Europe feels magical compared to the US right now!
Always has Susan!
MAGA is Fascism for Rednecks
I’ve been on 3 European tours with Americans in the last year and, thankfully, only once did we have an idiot who had to let us know she’s a MAGAt. In Switzerland in September, tariffs came up a few times. This stupid woman condescendingly says each time “tariffs are nothing. He’s going to fix it. He’s going to fix it”. I moved away each time so that I didn’t respond. Pretty sure she still knew I was not on her side as I’m not good at all about hiding it.
She is a Ghislaine Maxwell type.
It's just business. Business is business as long as money is involved....and power.
A pawn of the Male supremacist system.
Here’s to you and an aperol spritz. I wish I could move to Spain forever.
You and me both. A beautiful and chill country!
Jealous
It’s a dream trip Barbara-whatta a civilized society. At least what I’m feeling now anyway!
I think I would feel that in Antarctica...
Hell, I like cold weather!!
😂😂😂
I want to be drinking in a bar in Spain, Susan!
I want you to be here Walt-it’s a good place. Lots of expats here!!
Sure could use a USA break. Enjoy yourself and have some tapas for me.
Definitely Walt! I’ve anxiously awaited this trip and been saving for it. Now that I’m here I don’t wanna come back!! 🤦♀️
We are all happy for you but soooo jealous. Enjoy.
Arne! Do I have to come back?!? 😂. This is my ultimate trip I’ve been saving for!!
Well, if you have to option to stay in Spain then I would certainly recommend it. In fact, you could rent out the spare bedroom to your many friends. The Jeff fan club could meet there once a year. Nice.
Yes! I love this idea! I feel like I know so many of you. First I need to get my one year non lucrative visa. I’ll let you know how it goes! Then let the fun begin!!
I’m so happy that you got there! Please tell me about it when you get home.
Will do. So much to feel here!
Enjoy!
I'm headed to Colombia for a month. I live in Panama for 10+ years. Sure hope war doesn't come to neighbor Venezuela.
I would love to hear more about Columbia. I have heard Panama is a great spot of expats, too. I wonder if their humidity would kill me? 😂😂
I live in the desert. The smallest drop of humidity gets to me. I suppose you do adjust to it eventually.
I have asthma, and us people with bad lungs hate hot humid weather. I could live in a cave. I think thats why I got along so well in Alaska.
Enjoy every moment away from this insanity Susan!
Oh man… I can’t be more grateful! Can you guys get this figured out before I come back!? 😂
She puts the c in unt. Did she eat lead filled paint chips as a child? ☠️
😂😂😂 No doubt. JFC, LISA! I just love ya! 😂
There's a special place in Hell with her name on it!😡😡
Seriously...she surely cant be so dumb that she doesnt feel and see the backlash to her statement? My god!! What kind of bitch is this???
An evil one!😈
In the Ninth Circle. As opposed to Rump, Miller, Bannon, Kegsbreath, Blondi, J. Divan, K$sh, and the other minions, who will have a 12th Circle built just for them.
Meghan is just stupid as hell.
I'll say. 🙄
Well, if there’s one thing I got from Megyn Kelly’s take on pedos, is that I now have a better understanding of the women who voted for the pedo in the WH.
GOP women are no better than the men. Some are actually more hateful.
I’d like to know what % of GOP women are victims. Because there has to be a big overlap when you do the venn diagram of evangelicals, pastors, GOP politicians & perps of sex crimes.
Yeah, this is dark, dark shit. Hard even to try to craft a commentary. It’s primitive, dark shit. Beyond hillbilly logic. Beyond the pale of civilized discourse.
Fatfuck is trying to spin it. He will not succeed. For once.
He may suffer some consequences, but all this performative congressional bullshit about passing the bill to release the files is prolly likely to be quickly vetoed by the orange turd.
The information is now out there. More will be revealed. We will get our blue wave. Dems are winning every contest, even the small ones. Each win is important. If you see an opening for the school board or any other office, please consider running. Every win is important.
Hope springs eternal. DEFEAT THEM.
I don't think there will be enough info to change the cults mind about fucking children.
Perhaps not, but normal people will be repulsed. They have children and grandchildren that they love.
If I’m doing the math right, you need 10 or 12 R senators to defect. Who knows how low Trump’s popularity will be in Dec.
If Trump vetoes the # needed goes up. But Xmas shopping isn’t going to be any better in a month.
For the 955th fucking time, Congress can get everything they need, as they have BEEN, getting all the files they need via the HoR’s direct subpoena of the EPSTEIN ESTATE. They don’t even need the discharge petition to be approved.
https://youtu.be/oLepbAwOaIU?si=XTNBjpl-UbL4hDgJ
I agree. The outrage is overflowing, but the laughs are woefully few. 🫣
1. The wine that goes with grifting is two buck Chuck.
2. Justa Dick Vance knows damn well it’s all the venture capitalists and hedge funds buying up property. He was a VC once
3. Kelly is a piece of shit. You can’t tomato/tomahto sex with underage girls.
Let's quit calling it sex trafficking and begin calling it what it is: rape trafficking. These pedophiles are not having sex with underage girls, they are raping them. Sex implies mutuality; rape is a power move where the victim has no choice.
👍👍
My husband had another take on it today: even if some of the girls were past the age of consent, it was all HUMAN trafficking, so all evil and felonious.
Kelly has been a POS for awhile now. It's a major reason why I don't care what gender my politician is. I think it's great that women have the opportunity to be in politics if they choose now, but that doesn't mean they are any better than the men once they get elected. I work in a profession that is about 95% female. Warm and fuzzy it's not. A posse of passive, aggressive back stabbers. Kelly wants the money and ratings.
Indeed. Just look at the MAGA party’s women politicians, kowtowing to Agent Orange*
*I know the three looniest signed on to the EPSTEIN files discharge position. Ok, that’s great but they still suck on other issues.
Some astounding percentage of homes in this area are bought up by big corporations.
Yep and then they rent them out at ridiculous rates.
Live in San Francisco and have rented in almost every neighborhood. At Haight and Fillmore some huge Japanese corporation owned practically the whole block. Dozens of apartments and maybe some of the store fronts. They’re making a fortune! Re rental market: You can’t find an apartment and when you do, it’s beyond exorbitant rent.
I lived in L.A. for a number of years. People’s rents were double my mortgage. It’s ridiculous.
Whole neighborhoods here in Houston. Then they sit empty, looking like abandoned property.
Guess they didn't learn from the disaster in China.
In all areas, they rent them at exorbitant prices too.
Exactly. One of the reason rents are skyrocketing and home ownership is out of reach.
Not sex with underage girls, really. It’s raping children, isn’t it?
Yep
There’s a certain rancid consistency to this crowd. You could set your watch by their shamelessness, if the battery hadn’t corroded from exposure to their nonsense. Eric Trump bragging about casually yo-yoing half a billion in crypto on a Sunday night is the kind of line that would’ve been satire ten years ago. Now it’s just family tradition.
But the Megyn Kelly moment… that one hits different. It’s the sort of moral rot you don’t even need ultraviolet light to see. She’s out here playing semantic hopscotch with crimes against children like she’s doing a podcast deep-dive on artisanal cheese. When someone’s first instinct is to defend the indefensible, you get a glimpse of the whole ecosystem that raised them. And that ecosystem is dry, cracked earth right now.
I actually wrote about that particular contortionism today and how pundits wander into the shadow of the Epstein story and pretend they don’t notice what’s under their feet. It’s the kind of moral fog that tells you exactly where the line between loyalty and integrity snapped.
https://www.stewonthis.com/p/casinos-and-cartels
The thing is they are all doing the limbo, racing to see how can go lower as the bar gets lowered. Trump and his limbo dancers.
Went through all the Epstein emails I could get a hold of (have a few NSA buddies). Linked a PDF to a few of them from the oversight committee.
1. Money laundering.
2. Russian Connections.
3. Pedophilia

Great post Wendy!
Thank you as always Tess.
Wow Wendy, great post. Please tell me you smudged your home after writing this, ugh the evil is so thick I am smudging now after reading.
Yeah well, like I told Jeff, the Trump has a Micropenis because Hitler had a Micropenis article is coming tomorrow, and ITS DELICIOUSLY fun.
🤢🤮 delicious?
Investigations into these immoral wastrels, are years/decades long and readily available to anyone with a curious mind. It’s unfathomable to me at what’s become news!
It's like repubs did focus groups to come up with a list of every negative trait attributable to mankind, and said "Let's go with this"
Truer words Mark!
I've actually applied for a mortgage more than once. In fact, I just took out a second mortgage 3 or 4 months ago. Guess what Shay D. Vance? You have to prove you're a U.S. citizen. There ain't no illegal immigrants buying up all our housing.
It's amazing, the shenanigans the "illegals" get up to.....Casting all those votes, eating all those dawgs and cats, buying up all those houses, raking in those Social Security checks (maybe that's how they afford the houses? 'Cause, you know, Social Security is a scam, filling the houses of lazy asses who thought they deserved to retire with buckets of government cash), buying beer and cigarettes and filet mignon with their SNAP benefits, and using up all the healthcare in the US with their Medicaid and Medicare. It's a wonder how any of them manage to find the time to mow JustaDick Vance's lawn.
Imma go bury my head in a pillow so I don't alarm the cats when I primal scream.
I think you covered all the evils alleged against the "illegals" except that they are raping and murdering white women. What was that name again...Laken Riley?
It's absurd. Houses are ridiculously expensive. I don't think that day laborers and house cleaners are snapping them up. I suppose it's nice to think that's true if you live in a broken-down trailer in a shitty park, smoking heroin. We all need our dreams.
JD always likes to blame. Never has any ideas on fixing or improving anything.
Today he’s again blaming the current economy on Biden.
in his fucking dreams !
Evidently Trump cleared his schedule today (nothing on it until he leaves for FL at 6pm) so that he could tweet about the Epstein Files.
Worried much?
oh god, I just looked at Donny's truth social feed. he's fucking panicking
What’s he saying. I can’t look. Thanks for taking one for the team.
Here's one choice selection:
"Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him. This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his “Island.” Stay tuned!!!"
Always the projection, Donnie. It doesn’t fool anybody any more.
Promises, promises. He’s posted variants of this before. But all those Dems still walk free.
Oh, dear Lord please give him a stroke. I'm manifesting like crazy right now.
not a stroke, but the "widow maker" ; one and done
& i just read part of a couple tweets Aaron Rupar shared. Do we need to gift you Old Spice shower stuff for Xmas to wash it off? Or maybe car wash stuff is more effective.
I hope when Vance's kids are old enough, they disown him, change their names and never speak to him again.
After Usha divorces him.
They will hate him when he trades Usha in for a blond model.
He’ll trade her in for a Naugahyde lounger, arne.
Please--a CHRISTIAN Naugahyde lounger.
Thanks for the laugh Walt, ever wondered how many Naugs it takes to make a couch?
Walt, you're killing me here ! bwahahahahahahaha
Good one, Walt!
😂😂
Amen!
And that blond model will be the grieving widow Kirk, I have no doubt about that.
And Megan Kelly is a cunt.
"he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were but would look legal to a passer-bye" - EXCUSE ME, which was it? Passing for even younger, or look legal? WHICH THE FUCK IS IT, you worthless lump of blond-topped lying flesh?
That was exactly what I scratched my head over: the child who looks simultaneously 8 and 18..............
Makes a match with JustaDick Vance's dole-grubbing, house-purchasing immigrants.
Nice picture you’ve just painted Sharon!
I have a 15 yo daughter and when I heard Megyn Kelly's remarks, I thought, oh, okay she doesn't have kids, let alone a daughter so she isn't mentally putting her child on Epstein's island, never mind scraping together any empathy for kids who *aren't hers*. She's in that group that has so completely detached from reality in order to preserve her way of life and who has so completely dehumanized victims in order to keep licking trump's ass, that she's going to spew this vile shit.
But she has a 14 yo daughter??? What. the. fuck.
I don't understand. I look at trump and I wonder why him. Him??? They've sold their soul (and that of their children, apparently) for that blob of putrescence?
Someday, MK's daughter is going to see the video of what her mother said and I hope by then she's broken free and had lots of therapy and never speaks to that vile harpy ever again.
Difference between being a parent & having properly you might feel somewhat sentimental about.
That sound you heard was every landlord and property management company CEO getting simultaneous boners hearing JD blame housing costs on immigrants.
Private equity
Likely Alison, good call!
like Pulte et. al. are going to whack their prices if 30 million people get deported. MAGATs have gotta be the dumbest buncha people that ever lived.
