oh, and this is your occasional reminder that 30 years ago, Jeanine Pirro was part of my extended social circle, and I may have gotten drunk with her. or maybe not. all I'm saying is I'm not saying
this was in the 2000s. we were regulars at the same bar in Manhattan, back when Donny was just a clown and not a menace, so he was never a topic of conversation
Well, he's a normal. non-sociopathic human being with no delusions of sycophancy who did not bug her husband's boat when he was banging someone else on it and then morphed into an attack dog for the worst leader of a republic in world history while committing professional ethical violations left and right
Fred III is a good man, (as was Fred II, from everything I've read). He and his baby son were treated in the most sadistic way imaginable when the orange sadist (oh, yeah, I used sadist twice in one sentence; never did that before) promised to pay for the baby's millions of dollars of bills from the NICU -- and then reneged. Later said, "I don't know why they just don't let kids like that die." Why was this not enough for the maggots to dump him? I'll never understand.
Despite so much of what conservative citizens say or claim, believing in Law & Order, Fiscal Conservatism, Responsible Federal Spending, etc., at the end of the day, so many, many of them are haters. They hide it, use Doublespeak to disguise their true motives, say one thing, like believing in Law & Order, yet love their guns, and don't care who can buy them, as long as all they can have as many as they want so they can blow the heads off rabbits. They made do with several of the Republican Prez's that came down the pike, though more than one of them spoke in coded language to nod and wink at responsible language doesn't mean he won't assist those making African Americans a permanent underclass.
American conservatism is one big con job using racism, misogyny, religious manipulation, and hate and fear to bamboozle those susceptible to those emotional triggers. It never delivers anything that actually benefits the masses.
Fred Trump III, Donny’s nephew, wrote a book about his family & how deeply embarrassed he was to go to vote. Each time he didn’t vote for his uncle. His sister is Mary Trump who speak out against their uncle “Donald” (that’s what she calls him).
Now There's a guy who deserves to knock a few back - especially after what his greedy as fuck Uncle did to steal his inheritance (and Mary's) THEN told him what to do about his disabled son! (He needed the funds to help pay for his son's medical care!)
OH yes, Chet. I believe, deep down - he must have an inkling how deeply he's despised, so will insist on a mausoleum - akin to his 'triumphant arch' towering over the entrance to ARLINGTON! (I've heard from people on twitter - those who feel as I do) who'll be willing to travel from other Countries just to accompany you in that specific endeavour. ;)The fucker imagines HE deserves to be there! Y'know - that 'personal vietnam' he fought so valiantly at Studio 54 by 'avoiding STD's he claimed to Howard Stern' My azz he 'avoided' them. That's what's rotting what miniscule brain he might have had.
Yes, a very sweet man. He was disowned when he followed his own path in life as an airplane pilot, instead of doing what Daddy wanted and following him into business. (That left son #2, the orange sadist, to follow in Daddy's foul footsteps.)
Back in maybe 2014 or so, my stepson was in a serious relationship with Jeanine's daughter, who is a lovely, intelligent person, and I'm pretty sure does not share her mother's values. We had visions of having to be at a wedding with the likes of Glenn Beck and of our son having Judge Jeanine for a MIL. Fortunately, they broke up, and they each married other people. I sincerely hope her daughter is very happy, we really liked her. Whenever I see Jeanine in the news, I wonder how her daughter is doing with it.
Thanks for that “full disclosure”, Jeff, which I consider to be TMI.
And let’s not forget that in addition to unjustifiably and unrelentingly destroying the good name of Davey Hearn, President Orange Shitler snuffed out the lives of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom had their futures violently and illegally taken at the age of 37
Lucky it was 30 years ago. I am happy to say that after reading this piece I was just reflecting about how I am never around people that dumb. It is unreal to me that humans can be that stupid because I don't know anyone like the people who populate MAGA and believe all sorts of weird shit. Not in the US and not where I am living now, although I know there are German MAGAs too, and they are called by the most honest of us, NAZIS!
When Trump stops bitching about Pirro dropping the case and starts saying what a good job she's doing--that's when she needs to start being very careful at the pedestrian crossings near bus stops.
HILARIOUS how we used to worry about No. Korea, China, the Deficit - but now we have days and days to play THESE DUM(B) reindeer games with unlimited time and tax dollars… that ppl used to SCREAM about ‘wasting’.
He’s not nearly as quick to ditch the men, even if they’re equally incompetent. Don’t know why these MAGA women bother: if they want to be part of the Inner Circle, they have to be like Susie Wiles and the Human Printer.
Well, Wiles seems to see herself as the Den Mother keeping it all in check while Harp is simply a psycho stalker ol' demento thinks IS in luv with him. That photo of him gussied up with AI as Elvis (they even stole his mouth!) is even more proof. Frump can't abide being a bumbling, decrepit, senile old fool.
I was thinking that as soon as he figures out the next willing TV attorney poser or suck up, he’ll announce Pirro’s decision to resign “to spend more time with her family” or some other bullshit.
Oh definitely! Despite the male members of his cabinet being such a target rich environment for firing(being such exceptional fuckups themselves) he'll run through all the women before he fires any guy, even tho they deserve it more...I mean jfc, a WHOLE FUCKED UP, WORLD DESTABILIZING WAR??? christ on a cracker start with hegseth
Anyone else lie awake at night worrying that Cheeto and his merry band of f*ckups have started us down the path to global war? I am old enough to remember my cousins coming back from combat in WWII and my mother telling me to go to my room as they stated to talk. But I sat on the stairs and heard someone sob and the hushed tones. We have to STOP this crazy administration.
Well if that's what it takes for him to suspend the 2028 election and remain in office (safe in his reinforced and heavily militarized Epstein Ballroom Bunker) indefinitely, then it's all gonna be worth it right??? ("all" includes cheating and stealing the 2026 midterms to keep from being impeached, of course)
I really needed the sad face to click on here - the heart I actually clicked on does not express the sadness I feel for a man who actually might have had Jeanine Pirro in his personal space at some time in his life.
I have the distinct dishonor of having had drinks with Pam Bondi when she worked in my office in Tampa. She seemed so normal and nice. It's shocking the depths Donny can drag people down to who are willing to sell their souls for fortune and fame.
So I used Google for an image search of that gif and wouldn't ya know it, the video link of YouTube that Google referenced did not have that picture at all. It IDed the right guy, but not the right scene. Gee, thanks, Google AI. Or is it A1?
I really hope that Hearn's lawyers sue the everlasting crap out of this bunch of incompetents--take a page from Donnie Demento himself, if the case can't go anywhere: just do it in order to be a royal pain in the ass.
I'm waiting for the Demento crew to turn on the nitwit who installed the liner, because you KNOW the nitwit will also immediately turn on Demento and defend himself by pointing out Demento had a caravan drive across the liner..............I'm going to lay in a stock of popcorn.
Maybe all of it. He has a reputation for not paying contractors, and he's capable of keeping 2 thoughts in his head at 1 time: he can claim on the 1 hand that the problem was vandalism (not admit "guilt") and on the other hand that the job was botched so he doesn't have to pay the contractors.
I made a comment on this thread but there is connection with an insurance claim. You know no one in Trump's inner circle is going to pay for the blunder - insurance and/or taxpayers will foot the bill
I hope she goes the way of Halligan who got caught lying to the GJ - what DID she present to them to garner that indictment and why did she convene a GJ if she, as she asserts now, 'didn't have all the facts and evidence'.
I think he will be well represented. Lawyers such as Norm Eisen and his team do this type of thing through their organization which are dedicated to fighting. shit like this.
Subscribing to The Contrarian on Substack helps to fund such cases. Like getting Trumps name off the Kennedy Center. That was Norman Eisen & his Associates. 👍
I read a comment yesterday, I think on the NYT story regarding this, a commenter said he hoped the man could sue for a billion, at least it would be $1 billion less of taxpayer's money that trump couldn't steal himself
Joyce, I feel confident that Mr. Hearn’s attorney, the brilliant Norm Eisen from Democracy Defenders Fund (and The Contrarian!) is keeping all options open. Pirro and Dumpty won’t get away with this.
There is a Public interest in deterring them from doing the same to other innocent people, plus compensating Hearn personally for his legal fees and damage to his reputation. So there is no way this is over.
Well folks were speculating on Pirro having a similar end to Thomas Becket's at the hands of Henry II's knightly minions who were anxious to ingratiate themselves with Henry. Hers would be at the hands of outraged MAGAs. However, Becket's was a fairly gruesome murder and caused huge public outrage. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone, not even Pirro, as incompetent and amoral as she is.
Well, that's a mortal guarantee. Demento can always find someone even worse than the sludge-dwelling low-lifes he hires first. It's as if he has a secret lab that grows them.
Of course she will be gone, she's female. Fat Donnie will give her an opportunity to find success elsewhere. Maybe she can join Krusty Gnome at the Shield of America's. Oh and fuck Bergum. I refuse to call him by his anointed title. Was he talking about fat Donnie with this quip, "We won't back down to deranged people who want to destroy, deface or degrade our monuments." Do these people ever look into a mirror?
It's hardwired into the system - let's recall man wasn't responsible for his actions in the Garden of Eden - that damn woman and the 'snake' are to blame
And Burgum is Trump's corrupt point man for the destruction of our National treasures like parks, Federal lands, National forests, Native American sacred sites and anything else that belongs to us, that they are selling off to their donors.
Leu2500, while I am a writer (as yet, unpublished, but my day will come) I don't consider myself a journalist, but like Uncle Jeff, trying to be responsible so I said "apparently".
An btw, I just complimented Robot Bender for subscribing to and thus supporting all those independent journalists, and then I looked at your subscriptions. YOU GO!!! Seriously, the world needs people like you!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I agree but how on earth does anyone have time to read that many subscriptions? There’s no physical way you could keep up with 171 subscriptions in Substack. Smh.
Actually, I did read that the drive across the pool didn’t match the apparent line across the bottom of the pool shown in pictures. Speculation allows the possibility that peroxide (used at first to kill the algae), is sometimes used for paint removal and may have contributed to the problem.
Not only should Hearn get a million or two from trump's slush fund, he and his family should have full immunity should they ever touch, dip a toe or take a whiz in any pool (or any body of water) of their choosing..
First: I just love the pictures of Claudia today. 😍
Second: Nice to see Boxwine is at least sober enough to know what career she has left can't go down Donnys Toilet over something this obvious and ridiculous.
When can we get to the part where our government is supposed to take care of people?
Susan, my hubby and I have been bingeing The West Wing. It's our video version of comfort food to see a Democratic administration -- even a fictional one -- that is staffed with smart, ethical people rather than dim bulbs and toadies, and that, even through their mistakes, really is dedicated to improving people's lives and enhancing, rather than degrading, America's standing in the world.
OMG! What a great idea. My staff for Christmas one year gave me the entire WW series. I loved every minute of it... That would be good for my mental health. Thanks for the idea. 👏👏👏
I just finished doing the very same thing Michelle. TWW is my Go-To for a sane, though slightly buzzed administration. There were so many smart people behind the scenes who helped make it completely believable. The one scene that stands out to me is the final one with Jed and Abby on AF-1 heading home after the inauguration of Matt Santos and Abby asks him what he is seeing out of the window. His response is, “Tomorrow”.
You don’t know how many times I wish we could say the same thing these days when the promise of tomorrow is so iffy for far too many with this insane bunch at the helm of our government.
I made a comment somewhere during my watching of TWW that so many of the problems they faced then, felt so contemporary. That we keep on thinking that we are reinventing the wheel because we never confront and then solve the same problems they were writing about twenty years ago.
She should have thought of that before she brought the charges and made the dire threats about what she was going to do and how bad it going to be for Hearn.
Otherwise Susan, we would have the title ‘Epstein’s reflection pond’ we were half way there before the poor Olympian very innocently came by and dopey saw an opening two actually an insurance claim and blame the rube who is something dopey will never be a real athlete.
A fitting end to this Reflection Pool scum madness would be Trump, like narcissus, starring into the pool to see his reflection, then falling in while Rubio and Burgum are called to do pool detail.
I'm reflecting back with glee on the meme proudly posted by Trump that showed his fat self, Burghum, Vance, and some AI-concocted woman having a delicious summer float in the newly painted, Old Glory Blue Reflecting Pool (Jeff reposted this). Because he knows a lot about swimming pools....
re the 8647 pic - that's the first time I saw a clear picture of the 8647 on grass - the ones I saw before weren't that sharp - so guess "thanks, trump, for posting such a nice picture"?
Occasionally, I work on waterproofing sculptures with polyurea, the same sort of stuff that was used on our reflecting pool. It was obvious to me that putting this stuff on a damp surface wouldn't hold. When the SlashGashWizPrez and his secret service drove inside the pool while it was curing, that was the chef's kiss. The 14 million was just another kickback. Maybe someday, we will be able to prove it, after Cannon finally releases the Smith truth of the secret, stashed docs, and the Epstein files see the light of day.
But ya gotta admit, the reflecting pool turned into a steaming pool of acid green algae, with the center pulling from the seams, is a pretty damn good analogy for this whole rotten mess of corruption.
You go, Norm. Sue them to the deep end. Are staff of public officials subject to protections from lawsuits? Go after the people who actually do the work of researching, typing, posting, and sharing the necessary documents that end up destroying innocent lives. Pirro has no ethical standards but can be sanctioned.
"that you rush an indictment before all the facts are in"
Which means that something hinky happened in the Grand Jury room. Just as numerous judges have found with other regime indictments. So when Hearn's lawyer went after the GJ transcript is when DoJ "found" the exculpatory evidence.
It should be made public by the judge & if she lied, she should be disbarred. This is the problem in a nutshell. There have been NO CONSEQUENCES for their lies
We have photographic evidence of vandalism— it happened when T💩p stupidly and arrogantly drove his motorcade through the freshly painted Reflection Pool. Why dafuq would someone do something like that?
It's on the same level of felony stupid as storing highly classified stolen government documents in a communal toilet by the swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago.
oh, and this is your occasional reminder that 30 years ago, Jeanine Pirro was part of my extended social circle, and I may have gotten drunk with her. or maybe not. all I'm saying is I'm not saying
Schrodinger's Social Souse Society
I've def gotten drunk with Fred Trump III (Mary's brother) more than once
My goodness, Jeff. There are layers upon layers that we your readers don't know about. This could get interesting...
this was in the 2000s. we were regulars at the same bar in Manhattan, back when Donny was just a clown and not a menace, so he was never a topic of conversation
Yeah, yeah; okay, okay. So when's the book coming out?
Sure Jan
I'm waiting for the autobiography. C'mon--there has to be at least one literary agent reading Jeff! What are you waiting for?!
Yes, Jeff -- do tell!!!
Well, he's a normal. non-sociopathic human being with no delusions of sycophancy who did not bug her husband's boat when he was banging someone else on it and then morphed into an attack dog for the worst leader of a republic in world history while committing professional ethical violations left and right
Who? What? Which dog? Why?
So many comments I lost track. . . .
I am confused... "her husband's boat"? I am lost here....
Fred III is a good man, (as was Fred II, from everything I've read). He and his baby son were treated in the most sadistic way imaginable when the orange sadist (oh, yeah, I used sadist twice in one sentence; never did that before) promised to pay for the baby's millions of dollars of bills from the NICU -- and then reneged. Later said, "I don't know why they just don't let kids like that die." Why was this not enough for the maggots to dump him? I'll never understand.

I’d love to have a drink with him! I read his book, & the things Donny put him & his sister through!!
Here we go again. . .whose book? Whose sister? What have I missed?
Fred Trump III, Donny’s nephew, wrote a book about his family & how deeply embarrassed he was to go to vote. Each time he didn’t vote for his uncle. His sister is Mary Trump who speak out against their uncle “Donald” (that’s what she calls him).
Oooooohhhh....that must have been interesting!
Now There's a guy who deserves to knock a few back - especially after what his greedy as fuck Uncle did to steal his inheritance (and Mary's) THEN told him what to do about his disabled son! (He needed the funds to help pay for his son's medical care!)
DJT— once a piece of shit ALWAYS a piece of shit. Waiting for the day I can pee on his grave.
OH yes, Chet. I believe, deep down - he must have an inkling how deeply he's despised, so will insist on a mausoleum - akin to his 'triumphant arch' towering over the entrance to ARLINGTON! (I've heard from people on twitter - those who feel as I do) who'll be willing to travel from other Countries just to accompany you in that specific endeavour. ;)The fucker imagines HE deserves to be there! Y'know - that 'personal vietnam' he fought so valiantly at Studio 54 by 'avoiding STD's he claimed to Howard Stern' My azz he 'avoided' them. That's what's rotting what miniscule brain he might have had.
Well we all have a party past we're not proud of✌️
Or can't remember clearly.
But my dear brother said to me once, dont worry that you cant remember what you did when you were drunk, there are always people ready to remind you.
Some of them even film it nowadays.
partied hardy enough and proud of it too!
Hmm, are we getting into, like, a confessional? Do four Hail Somethings and tell us more.
Fred Trump is the good brother, as I remember...
Yes, a very sweet man. He was disowned when he followed his own path in life as an airplane pilot, instead of doing what Daddy wanted and following him into business. (That left son #2, the orange sadist, to follow in Daddy's foul footsteps.)
Back in maybe 2014 or so, my stepson was in a serious relationship with Jeanine's daughter, who is a lovely, intelligent person, and I'm pretty sure does not share her mother's values.

I sincerely hope her daughter is very happy, we really liked her. Whenever I see Jeanine in the news, I wonder how her daughter is doing with it.
Quite the brush with "greatness" LOL.
Wow! That's quite a story!
Waiting for publication of the tales of the mysterious Mr. Tiedrich
Thanks for that “full disclosure”, Jeff, which I consider to be TMI.
And let’s not forget that in addition to unjustifiably and unrelentingly destroying the good name of Davey Hearn, President Orange Shitler snuffed out the lives of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom had their futures violently and illegally taken at the age of 37
Lucky it was 30 years ago. I am happy to say that after reading this piece I was just reflecting about how I am never around people that dumb. It is unreal to me that humans can be that stupid because I don't know anyone like the people who populate MAGA and believe all sorts of weird shit. Not in the US and not where I am living now, although I know there are German MAGAs too, and they are called by the most honest of us, NAZIS!
Her being drunk is a given?
It’s also a given that Pirro will be the next discarded woman in Dimento’s mentally ill, corrupt, incompetent, racist, and drug addicted cabinet.
When Trump stops bitching about Pirro dropping the case and starts saying what a good job she's doing--that's when she needs to start being very careful at the pedestrian crossings near bus stops.
HILARIOUS how we used to worry about No. Korea, China, the Deficit - but now we have days and days to play THESE DUM(B) reindeer games with unlimited time and tax dollars… that ppl used to SCREAM about ‘wasting’.
Huh
Because 1/3 of the U.S. only believe NK, China, and the Deficit are "problems" when there's a Dem is in office.
Ah. Schrödinger's Deficit 🫥
He might even “Wish her luck”
He’s not nearly as quick to ditch the men, even if they’re equally incompetent. Don’t know why these MAGA women bother: if they want to be part of the Inner Circle, they have to be like Susie Wiles and the Human Printer.
And how those two live with themselves defies the imagination.
Well, Wiles seems to see herself as the Den Mother keeping it all in check while Harp is simply a psycho stalker ol' demento thinks IS in luv with him. That photo of him gussied up with AI as Elvis (they even stole his mouth!) is even more proof. Frump can't abide being a bumbling, decrepit, senile old fool.
I was thinking that as soon as he figures out the next willing TV attorney poser or suck up, he’ll announce Pirro’s decision to resign “to spend more time with her family” or some other bullshit.
She'll be appointed Asssistant Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.
Maybe she’ll get an “undisclosed illness”.
Todd Blanche will be tasked to fire Pirro. I think he’s her boss.
Oh definitely! Despite the male members of his cabinet being such a target rich environment for firing(being such exceptional fuckups themselves) he'll run through all the women before he fires any guy, even tho they deserve it more...I mean jfc, a WHOLE FUCKED UP, WORLD DESTABILIZING WAR??? christ on a cracker start with hegseth
Oh noes! kegsbreath is the son he never had. ;) He luvs that fake bulldog attitude and WARmongering.
It’s definitely coming…
Fingers crossed.
That may be, but she's not in his cabinet. She's the US Attorney for DC.
I thought that, too. As the saying goes, "Ladies first."
Anyone else lie awake at night worrying that Cheeto and his merry band of f*ckups have started us down the path to global war? I am old enough to remember my cousins coming back from combat in WWII and my mother telling me to go to my room as they stated to talk.

Did she sign a wine box for you?
Well that was unexpected.
😳
Always good to get ahead of it, Jeff‼️
Were you in her car when she was clocked going 119MPH?
https://www.newsweek.com/jeanine-pirro-speeding-ticket-fox-news-717452
You would have to be drunk out of your mind, ‘somebody get her away from me!
can I just note what a remarkable world we live in, where I can type "gash gif" into google and actually get a result I can use?
(does anyone know where that scene is from?)
Yes, Google told me but I ain't sayin'
Aw, c'mon, Doc!
I agree with Steve. Please, Doc, tell us poor unsophisticated people who can’t figure it out on our own.
But that would ruin it for the Enquiring Minds Who Want to Know
🤣
So I used Google for an image search of that gif and wouldn't ya know it, the video link of YouTube that Google referenced did not have that picture at all. It IDed the right guy, but not the right scene. Gee, thanks, Google AI. Or is it A1?
Who’s the actor?
It feels like it should be from a Guy Ritchie film.
Yes! I know too where Ye got the GIF cos I recognised the actor. Great film too.
The kkkrazy keeps gettin Krazier Jeff.
So ...where is the scene from?
Trainspotting with Ewan McGregor? me thinks
I got the movie Space Cop and the actor Rich Evans No idea if that’s correct or not.
Imagine your regime lying to You, The People!! 🇦🇺
I really hope that Hearn's lawyers sue the everlasting crap out of this bunch of incompetents--take a page from Donnie Demento himself, if the case can't go anywhere: just do it in order to be a royal pain in the ass.
I'm waiting for the Demento crew to turn on the nitwit who installed the liner, because you KNOW the nitwit will also immediately turn on Demento and defend himself by pointing out Demento had a caravan drive across the liner..............I'm going to lay in a stock of popcorn.
Also, Trump probably took a big bite out of the 14 million or whatever the final grift was.
Maybe all of it. He has a reputation for not paying contractors, and he's capable of keeping 2 thoughts in his head at 1 time: he can claim on the 1 hand that the problem was vandalism (not admit "guilt") and on the other hand that the job was botched so he doesn't have to pay the contractors.
I made a comment on this thread but there is connection with an insurance claim. You know no one in Trump's inner circle is going to pay for the blunder - insurance and/or taxpayers will foot the bill
Just ask the long list of contractors in NY/NJ who were stiffed or bankrupted by the mango grifter…..
yep
“Finder’s fee.”
I agree. I also hope that Pirro is disbarred for her bullshit. I wouldn't hire her to defend me for a traffic ticket.
I wonder if even Fuxed News would take her back.
Maybe she and Jesse waters can collaborate about testosterone. Let's see how riles up she gets him.
Jeanine prolly has more testosterone than Jesse, if voices are an indication
I 🩷the name “fuxed news.” I’m going to use it whenever possible from now on!
I hope she goes the way of Halligan who got caught lying to the GJ - what DID she present to them to garner that indictment and why did she convene a GJ if she, as she asserts now, 'didn't have all the facts and evidence'.
I'm sure that that drive didn't help, and the tire tracks were clearly visible when the Pool was later drained. From early July:
That lazy-assed fool
Rode his motorcade through the Pool
That could have damaged the paint
'Cause it most definitely ain't
Some mythical box-cutter tool
Giant invisible pool knives now 50% off at the Antifa Store.
Good one! Where is the Antifa store again?

Ha! This, Lisa! THIS! ☝️

🤣🤣🤣
If Hearns started a GoFundMe to hire attorneys, he'd rack in enough $$ to hire an entire law firm.
I think he will be well represented. Lawyers such as Norm Eisen and his team do this type of thing through their organization which are dedicated to fighting. shit like this.
I am pretty sure that Norm and his team represented Mr. Hearn pro bono.
Subscribing to The Contrarian on Substack helps to fund such cases. Like getting Trumps name off the Kennedy Center. That was Norman Eisen & his Associates. 👍
Exactly. That is what they do so that people like David Hearn are able to fight the power, as it were.
There was a GoFundMe set up for Hearn's legal fees which raised a good amount of money.
I read a comment yesterday, I think on the NYT story regarding this, a commenter said he hoped the man could sue for a billion, at least it would be $1 billion less of taxpayer's money that trump couldn't steal himself
Joyce, I feel confident that Mr. Hearn’s attorney, the brilliant Norm Eisen from Democracy Defenders Fund (and The Contrarian!) is keeping all options open. Pirro and Dumpty won’t get away with this.
There is a Public interest in deterring them from doing the same to other innocent people, plus compensating Hearn personally for his legal fees and damage to his reputation. So there is no way this is over.
Same thought here, Joyce. Claw back a few million of Demento’s ill gotten gains!
Yes in this case , the damage really was caused by a caravan. Donny’s caravan.
You have it he has been irreparably harmed so Boxwine, Pumpinhead and contractor guy sue the conspiring lot of today’s whining whiners.
Judge Boxwine tried so hard
To please that lying tub o' lard
It was another of his scandals
There were no fucking vandals
She knew she could be disbarred
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome judge?
Nice historical reference. She better watch out that she doesn't get the Thomas Becket treatment. Ya never know with his violent shitbag minions
And I'm fairly certain Pirro won't gain martyr or sainthood status.
She had better not. Damn, being incompetent and malevolent should never be celebrated, FFS
Well folks were speculating on Pirro having a similar end to Thomas Becket's at the hands of Henry II's knightly minions who were anxious to ingratiate themselves with Henry. Hers would be at the hands of outraged MAGAs. However, Becket's was a fairly gruesome murder and caused huge public outrage. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone, not even Pirro, as incompetent and amoral as she is.
Yes, her getting sacked and discarded by him as well as disbarred would be enough.
I dunno. Ste Jeanine of Boxwine has a certain ring to it.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The Doc proves he’s a bard 🥇
I'm no bard. I'm just a regular guy who is SICK OF THIS SHIT
Now now Doc, modesty is woke (or unwoke?) 😆😆
👏👏👏👏👏👏 Nice.
👏👏👏👏👏
I reckon she will be the next gal gone from the admin. Burgum has dough and corporate connections, so he will remain.
and her replacement will be worse
Well, that's a mortal guarantee. Demento can always find someone even worse than the sludge-dwelling low-lifes he hires first. It's as if he has a secret lab that grows them.
Hopefully not before a Democratic senate in 2027. I don't want Dems to confirm a single of the felon's appointments if they get the majority.
A secret lab. Haha. Indeed!
🤣
Preznit Predator seems to have piles
Of lawyers whose shyster wiles
Are used only to distract
From the indisputable fact
That he's all over the Epstein files
This!!!
Yes!! 👏🏼
True. Unfortunately disbarment can take 1-3 years but we can wait.
I sense many, many disbarments and prosecutions down the road once the grownups are in charge again
Hope you’re right.
I've been waiting for nearly a decade for justice.
It will but she’s disbarring herself by attaching to Trumps ass in the first place. What a shit hole!
It will be haba-haba, no doubt. She's still suckling at the public teat, I believe.
That secret lab is the Heritage Foundation
And the Federalist Society
Fatfuck likes Alina Hubba Hubba for her looks, not so much her legal acumen
Obvs. I spent some time cogitating in it. They’ll bring in a Jew (speaking as one myself). Mark my words. They think that he will then be bulletproof.
😱
They always are!
Of course she will be gone, she's female. Fat Donnie will give her an opportunity to find success elsewhere. Maybe she can join Krusty Gnome at the Shield of America's. Oh and fuck Bergum. I refuse to call him by his anointed title. Was he talking about fat Donnie with this quip, "We won't back down to deranged people who want to destroy, deface or degrade our monuments." Do these people ever look into a mirror?
plus he's a man - it's the women who are taking the falls
It's hardwired into the system - let's recall man wasn't responsible for his actions in the Garden of Eden - that damn woman and the 'snake' are to blame
Hmmm… perhaps these stories were crafted by dudes.
⬆️🎯👏🏼
💯💯💯💯
And Burgum is Trump's corrupt point man for the destruction of our National treasures like parks, Federal lands, National forests, Native American sacred sites and anything else that belongs to us, that they are selling off to their donors.
He's a criminal.
For sure…
WHY IS THE MEDIA NOT REPORTING UPON THE APPARENT TIRE TRACKS ON THE REFLECTING POOL SURFACE?
INVESIGATIVE JOURNALISTS NEED TO GET TO THE "BOTTOM" OF THE POOL, NO PUN INTENDED!
THE VANDALS WHO DROVE ACROSS IT MUST BE PROSECUTED AND JUSTICE BROUGHT TO THE VOTERS!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!
(sorry for yelling...with the firehose of news these days, it's hard to be heard)
"apparent"? we have VIDEO of his effing motorcade driving on it.
Leu2500, while I am a writer (as yet, unpublished, but my day will come) I don't consider myself a journalist, but like Uncle Jeff, trying to be responsible so I said "apparently".
An btw, I just complimented Robot Bender for subscribing to and thus supporting all those independent journalists, and then I looked at your subscriptions. YOU GO!!! Seriously, the world needs people like you!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I agree but how on earth does anyone have time to read that many subscriptions? There’s no physical way you could keep up with 171 subscriptions in Substack. Smh.
Not everyone posts daily. One I subscribe to publishes every two weeks.
Ah, that makes so much more sense. Thank you.
Actually, I did read that the drive across the pool didn’t match the apparent line across the bottom of the pool shown in pictures. Speculation allows the possibility that peroxide (used at first to kill the algae), is sometimes used for paint removal and may have contributed to the problem.
Snopes says the marks don’t reflect the tire tracks theory. They expound on their research for many pages. 👹
Agree!!!! But the reason is of course that Donnie had his caravan drive across the bottom of the pool.
Some independent media did report for sure.
pouring hydrogen peroxide in the water didn't help
Not only should Hearn get a million or two from trump's slush fund, he and his family should have full immunity should they ever touch, dip a toe or take a whiz in any pool (or any body of water) of their choosing..
First: I just love the pictures of Claudia today. 😍
Second: Nice to see Boxwine is at least sober enough to know what career she has left can't go down Donnys Toilet over something this obvious and ridiculous.
When can we get to the part where our government is supposed to take care of people?
Susan, my hubby and I have been bingeing The West Wing. It's our video version of comfort food to see a Democratic administration -- even a fictional one -- that is staffed with smart, ethical people rather than dim bulbs and toadies, and that, even through their mistakes, really is dedicated to improving people's lives and enhancing, rather than degrading, America's standing in the world.
Michelle- my go-to besides Jeff & other substack products is Mamdani.. what a breath of fresh air
For sure!!
OMG! What a great idea. My staff for Christmas one year gave me the entire WW series. I loved every minute of it... That would be good for my mental health. Thanks for the idea. 👏👏👏
☺️
I just finished doing the very same thing Michelle. TWW is my Go-To for a sane, though slightly buzzed administration. There were so many smart people behind the scenes who helped make it completely believable. The one scene that stands out to me is the final one with Jed and Abby on AF-1 heading home after the inauguration of Matt Santos and Abby asks him what he is seeing out of the window. His response is, “Tomorrow”.
You don’t know how many times I wish we could say the same thing these days when the promise of tomorrow is so iffy for far too many with this insane bunch at the helm of our government.
Not in the same league, but not a bad show is "Designated Survivor." Last I looked it was on Netflix.
I have goosebumps. What an excellent show it was!
I’ve rewatched it 3 times when I need solace
I made a comment somewhere during my watching of TWW that so many of the problems they faced then, felt so contemporary. That we keep on thinking that we are reinventing the wheel because we never confront and then solve the same problems they were writing about twenty years ago.
May I suggest watching The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels if you want to see what decent television journalism used to look like
Excellent suggestion…I only saw the very first episode. Thanks!
Watched it firstrun. It's what helped get me through the Bush Jr. years.
She should have thought of that before she brought the charges and made the dire threats about what she was going to do and how bad it going to be for Hearn.
Otherwise Susan, we would have the title ‘Epstein’s reflection pond’ we were half way there before the poor Olympian very innocently came by and dopey saw an opening two actually an insurance claim and blame the rube who is something dopey will never be a real athlete.
I'm not going to address the felony paint chip kerfuffle, But I do want to tell you, Jeff, how much I enjoy the Claudia photos every day.
A fitting end to this Reflection Pool scum madness would be Trump, like narcissus, starring into the pool to see his reflection, then falling in while Rubio and Burgum are called to do pool detail.
I guess Burgum wants to be trump's "pool boy." And with Linsey gone, Marco can be trump's new "ball washer" on (and off) the golf course.
⬆️🤮
👌
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Maybe I didn't look at you
quite as often as I could
Maybe that guy I hired to paint you
Wasn't any fucking good
But that stupid shade of blue I chose
I was too ignorant to know
It would make your water much too warm
And cause the algae bloom to grow
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
That is just fucking amazing. Did everyone sing it? Or just me? 🎶
Perfect!
As a young mother, I recall my pediatrician telling me to not leave a bucket of water around as TODDLERS can drown in a few inches.
I'm reflecting back with glee on the meme proudly posted by Trump that showed his fat self, Burghum, Vance, and some AI-concocted woman having a delicious summer float in the newly painted, Old Glory Blue Reflecting Pool (Jeff reposted this). Because he knows a lot about swimming pools....
I have two comments this morning:
1. Trump wrote: "...a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters." I may be wrong, but aren't 8,6,4,and 7 numbers, not letters?
2. How long before Jeanine Pirro gets a nickname?
re the 8647 pic - that's the first time I saw a clear picture of the 8647 on grass - the ones I saw before weren't that sharp - so guess "thanks, trump, for posting such a nice picture"?
Maybe his stooges photoshopped or AI-ed it, like the fake MS-13 tatts on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles
I thought exactly this!!! First time I’ve thanked him for anything, that’s for damn sure. I’m thinking it’ll be the only.
For damn sure! Ha ha!
Legal Zero Pirro?
What is wrong with Boxwine, it’s the perfect day drunk nickname.
Doesn’t Pirro already have the nickname Boxwine?
Occasionally, I work on waterproofing sculptures with polyurea, the same sort of stuff that was used on our reflecting pool. It was obvious to me that putting this stuff on a damp surface wouldn't hold. When the SlashGashWizPrez and his secret service drove inside the pool while it was curing, that was the chef's kiss. The 14 million was just another kickback. Maybe someday, we will be able to prove it, after Cannon finally releases the Smith truth of the secret, stashed docs, and the Epstein files see the light of day.
But ya gotta admit, the reflecting pool turned into a steaming pool of acid green algae, with the center pulling from the seams, is a pretty damn good analogy for this whole rotten mess of corruption.
You go, Norm. Sue them to the deep end. Are staff of public officials subject to protections from lawsuits? Go after the people who actually do the work of researching, typing, posting, and sharing the necessary documents that end up destroying innocent lives. Pirro has no ethical standards but can be sanctioned.
At the absolute minimum he should be entitled to legal fees.
I swear they're a bunch of dumb drunks
Who think that we are all punks
"Let's stop education
And ease their frustration!"
But still... Drumpf smells like a skunk.
He's rotting from deep down inside
A spoiled baby man can't hide
From his issues within
His father's old sin
Takes its toll, we will NOT ABIDE!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
Donny 100% disagreed with Boxwine? Not 300%, 600% nor 1000%? He’s slipping. 🙄
He said that 100%? My god he’s waking maybe but it could be the flash of a final brain cell too 101% Oh whoops my fuck up just that one.
"that you rush an indictment before all the facts are in"
Which means that something hinky happened in the Grand Jury room. Just as numerous judges have found with other regime indictments. So when Hearn's lawyer went after the GJ transcript is when DoJ "found" the exculpatory evidence.
It should be made public by the judge & if she lied, she should be disbarred. This is the problem in a nutshell. There have been NO CONSEQUENCES for their lies
Any grand jury leaks ?
We have photographic evidence of vandalism— it happened when T💩p stupidly and arrogantly drove his motorcade through the freshly painted Reflection Pool. Why dafuq would someone do something like that?
It's on the same level of felony stupid as storing highly classified stolen government documents in a communal toilet by the swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago.
I know he could have simply waited till it was full and then walk across it…
Oh no here comes the next AI super hero waking on water so maybe just eliminate Jesus entirely that is where this is all pointing.
