I live in Canada and I was in Canada watching Canadian news network, and I can guarantee you that what I saw were pea-brained shit gibbons break into the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 with their armor. I saw the Capitol police being assaulted by these assailants, I witnessed Pence being whisked away by security and I was appalled at the noose that was hanging outside at the ready to be put around Pence’s neck had they managed to collar him. I also saw the dimwit Senator from Missouri rushing down the stairs and running to get out of the Capitol. My eyes saw what they saw and anyone saying otherwise is lying through their Fcking teeth.
Gaslighting those of us who DO believe our lying eyes and ears. I watched the whole thing while it was unfolding. WE ALL DID. Gaslighting fools, crooks, and liars! Never forgive, never forget, never give in to this fascist tyranny, even if it comes at you wrapped in the flag, holding a cross and a bible.
I’m in NJ, and I witnessed it while on the phone with my sister from TX, neither of us saw anything peaceful or prayerful, just extreme violence against the Police. It was horrifying, and we both cried and asked where the National Guard was.
Maybe what’s required is a petition to be sent to Mickey Mouse, the House Leader providing him with a zillion signatures from people who actually witnessed it with their eyes wide open, and cc’ing the moron in chief as well as SCOTUS.
I was watching it when I posted on some social platform, “Where are the National Guard?” One of our former idiot friends posted, “This is all ANTIFA! The Guard is too corrupt to try and stop this!” Mmmm…Block
Yeah those of us watching actual news stations saw it unfold live. Donnie O'Sullivan was so brave getting it all on film, even the pile of destroyed news cameras.
Wow, they dredged up Michele Bachman to offer her version of a prayer meeting. She must be referring to the abridged Gospel included in the Trump Bible
In Sufism we have something called “The Book of the Book”which is a huge book that looks like it’s full of stories and teachings but is mostly blank pages. It’s an illustration of how people mistake the container of something for its contents. I imagine that the real “Trump Bible” should have nothing but a cover and inside not even blank pages but a hollowed out space where one could conceal either a gun or a can of hair spray or spray-on tanning fluid.
Thank you for this! It is likewise true of science: The book has many blank pages and each time we fill one in with new knowledge another blank page is added.
Bachman is a white supremacist Christian Nationalist. She never hides it. She is fucking nuts. Minnesota Republicans are white Christian Nationalists. They support white supremacy. Look at Michelle Fischbach, Tom Emmer, Coleman, and the list goes on.
Every time her stupid mug shows up on any screen I hit the mute button because I know she's going to say something completely deranged. Why, WHY does any self-respecting news outlet put a microphone in front of her face.
I'm going to have to remember this next time we have a climate justice demonstration so I can be sure to bring my Remington pump. Please join us Mike Johnson.
The riot was live on TV. Most of the rioters were unmasked so tracking them down from their images on video was not difficult. Millions watched the events live, in public, in living color, with running commentary, recorded from every angle for historic posterity. So no one can say it didn't happen! Not a prayer meeting. Not a garden party. Not a tea social.
"The President invited us so beating up police officers and storming the Capitol and attacking 535 elected Congress members and the Vice President must be legal. Party time!"
They were proud of their attack for Donald's benefit. When criticized, Fox said "They weren't Trump supporters. They were Antifa and FBI agents." Missing the irony, of course, that you can't be proud of law breaking and then blame it on someone else. Own it!
70% of American adults did not vote for Donald. At some point the will of these people will be heard. Remember King Charles I. Tyranny against the people didn't end well.
I've never seen peaceful protesters rappelling down walls and tearing up flagpoles....just sayin'. Bachmann has entered the Twilight Zone (along with the rest of the MAGAs, of course).
Actually Police officer Brian Sicknick died that day as did Ashley Babbitt who was killed by a gun shot by police. She was part of the Jan 6th delegation. Other police officers died by suicide in the following days.
They didn’t have time to kill any politicians. They were shown the exit to the basement, while others didn’t have time to leave and they just lay down on the floor of the balcony and stayed there until the assault was over.
Please stop sanewashing the events of that awful day in the USA. It will never be erased from my memory and it will live on in many children and grandchildren of all those who witnessed it, either live or on TV.
I wasn't trying to sanewash it, sorry. I was trying to make a dark joke about how low the standards for Republicans are.
They can literally storm the goddamn capitol and the fucking pundits and the press (and Merrick fucking garland) will let them get off with barely even a slap on the wrist. For some of them.
I’m sorry Lucius, but I don’t think that dark humor belongs anywhere in the description of what happened on that awful day. Your latest response would have been perfect a your first. I’ll leave it at that.
Touche. It's always the same old shit with these sweep it under rug, in denial assholes. Last we checked, most prayer meetings don't end up with the deaths of five police officers, calls for hanging a VP and the ceremonial shit smearing on walls. Amazing how the GOP continues to have selective memory issues like our kids did when they did something. However, most of our kids never committed treason and didn't attempted to overthrow the government while their deranged dear leader watched these atrocities on TV.
the part of America capable of critical thinking remembers it all too well...MAGAts are choosing to spin it how they choose to spin it...but we all know what we saw that day in the same way we all know that musk gave a nazi salute behind a podium with the POTUS seal on it...I will not be gaslit...EVER!
I will give Team Convict some credit- they figured out almost 10 years ago that a huge percentage of the American public is brainless and if you promise them anything they want, you can get elected. Even after you fuck up your first term, just keep promising shit and they’ll forget the first term and elect you again.
The average IQ, (which are unreliable anyway), is 80 to 90. In my family my 6 siblings & myself & our children are in the 145, 154, 168 … one brother, a retires professor is the 168 IQ in our family & my brother who is a Harvard graduate has his PhD & Law Degree, is an environmentalist. His IQ is 153. It is hard to understand how gullible normal & dull normal people are. Watch > ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING, the IQ was constructed to evaluate kindergartners & later it became a way to show white people were Superior. Also IQ test cannot evaluate creativity, kindness, people skills, character, integrity and so much more… but we can SAY, I bet nobody could have imagined that 60% + AMERICANS are pathetically really really STUPID to be sucked in my tRump!
I can only imagine how the officers charged with protecting the capitol and the people in it must feel now. They endured a terrifying hell and are now being told it was a peaceful prayer vigil? Irate wouldn't even begin....
This is what happens when people are so blinded by their loathing of "others " that they vote against their interests. Americans have an enormous sense of entitlement. He wants to rescind money for projects passed by legislation for infrastructure and inflation. Way to go dumb ass voters in states that need that money . Kiss the economy and your jobs bye-bye.
"This is what happens when people are so blinded by their loathing of 'others' that they vote against their interests." This is the most concise, on-target description of what has just happened in our nation that I've seen.
There’s a big solar project between Phoenix and Tucson Arizona on Interstate 10 that’s funded by the inflation reduction act. It’ll just stay an eyesore for the foreseeable future. I’m interested to see what the signage looks like next time I drive to Phoenix
Keep in mind this is one of the hottest and sunniest places in the country. Solar powers a smart idea. They’re also supposed to be widening the interstate.
Bummer. I'm wondering how much GDP will also be lost from California fires. I'm sorry people don't get how interconnected everything is. As my brother said while building houses in NC recently, a 50ft wall of water doesn't care about the gates around your community.
Not as much as you think. We are the fourth largest economy in the world. Think of all the homes that will be built. When we had the Oakland fire in 1991, practically every contractor in the country showed up to get jobs rebuilding. My brother, not the best of them (ask Amy Tan) may show up. Warning: Do not accept a bid from Live Oak Construction, Berkeley, CA.
Ellen, re LA fire aftermath. Paradise, CA's 2018 Camp Fire brought enormous resources to clean up toxic debris. IIRC they removed everything 6 feet down. Gov. Newsom said the fire debris removal from Pacific Palisades to take at least a year. Our highly toxic debris was hauled 20 miles away by a staggering number of trucks. Only step 1.
Sure, who are they going to hire to do all that frame-up work, the drywall & mudding, the roofing, the stucco???
Huge numbers of those laborers are undocumented males.
I live in a smaller village in southern NM that burned last summer & then our summer monsoons came & flooded stuff that didn’t burn, roads & bridges to little clusters of rental cabins washed out. About 900 homes need to be rebuilt & people are just now getting a few foundations laid.
Even though the state generally goes blue, my county is quite red. My friend & handyman, who works construction, is a 33 yr old, undocumented Mexican.
I worry about him getting deported. I msg him every couple days to make sure he’s still okay. He has 2 little boys who are American citizens.
I know it’s not very kind of me, but I hope every damned, rich Texan who had a second home up here in the cool mountains that got burned to the ground, has to wait a really, really long time to get it rebuilt. Same goes for any local who voted for that hateful fuckwad.
This kind of work is done by undocumented all over the country. Around here, if they're not working, they wait at stores that sell building supplies for jobs or at a street corner the city has designated as a pickup point. The city checks to make sure they are getting paid fairly. We see them as hard workers. I just don't understand why there is so much prejudice against them. I don't see them taking American jobs.
I don't think it's unkind, I think it's only fair that people who vote for this kind of draconian shit should suffer the consequences of their actions. If you have enough money to rebuild your second house that is empty until you take a holiday and you voted for mass deportation, maybe you don't deserve a second house built by migrant labor. Maybe those people need to pay union wages to white guys who will charge $200/hr one stupid brick at a time. It bears repeating, nothing is free. Capital is hugely fond of it's ability to externalize the REAL cost of their consumption, so maybe capital should suck it for reducing labor during a labor shortage and plundering GDP for others over their broken thoughts about punishing the working poor. It would be great if it was fafo for people with money and not just the immigrants, the disabled and the pleebs who get to spend their dreams cleaning up after them.
I lived in NorCal for a decade and have family there since the 50s and I don't see how California is going to stay blue while the redev money is under GOP control (conditions?), and alt is private dev money (more GOPs), AND the labor force in construction and ag is already staying home because they're afraid of ice roundups, which apparently started in NJ. I don't think what's in front of us in terms of economic development is even somewhat like what we've seen in the past. Oh and news today is they are disabling FEMA.
Teri is better qualified than me to speak to this. She survived the Camp fire. But I seriously doubt the Bay Area (our nine counties make up the 17th largest economy in the world) will turn red. I buy most of my food sourced in these nine counties. I'm guessing that we won't be vacationing in the mountains and our representatives won't be helping out the red counties. The big question is who runs to succeed Newsom. And I'd like to see California secede. We're big enough (4th largest economy in the world) to be our own country.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think the people will be turning red anytime soon, but I can see GOP mouths foaming over 'conditions' and for all his faults, it's a good question about who comes behind Newsome. Say GOP decides this week FEMA is done and CA doesn't really get bailout money, it's like any war zone where private money and profiteering takes over. It's like what happened with Katrina, the suffering was immense if you stayed, so people were given one way bus tickets to Idaho and weren't beneficiaries of the recovery money spent there. It's super sad.
Your brother must be somewhere near my hometown then rebuilding after Helene? I’m worried about future monies that should be headed to all that area now that the felon is in office. California too is likely to find itself in dire straits as well. God! Of all times to have all these yahoos in power. Not good.
I apologize that I can't remember the name of the first town they were building in - he said only 7 of 41 residents survived. Stunningly sad. They have a Co is SC that cuts house material with lasers (400 patents, eat that Elon), they can put it on a flatbed and drive materials up, set foundation and they show local tradespeople how to construct (so there are local jobs). They developed all this after Katrina. They're going to be able to build like 2000 houses in the near term at cost with state/fed support. They don't want to make money on the tragedy, just want to prove housing can happen without delay and local communities can survive.
How about a quonset hut style arc of solar panels covering the Internet. Sounds like a good use of the space. You could leave a 10 foot tall space on both sides so vehicles could get off if necessary.
They should be everywhere but the corps and gvmt here need it to be a money making industry. There was such a glut last yr of Chinese panels that people in Europe were using them for fencing and our gvmt asked the Chinese to stop overproducing because it was hurting our solar industry. Oi. I would have loved to see the gvmt but up the panels and slap them on houses all over the big cities where people will never be able to afford them FOR FREE. In the 70s everyone talked about ecology and "energy independence " (does anyone really remember Jimmy Carter?) and now nobody even considers it as a driving rationale for what we do. It's gross how far off the potato truck we've fallen.
They mostly do in az, especially Phoenix and Tucson most public schools have covered parking with solor panels quite a few business inspite of 47 and have for some time ⏲️ ⏳️
Just brainstorming. I was envisioning it on rural stretches rather than interchanges. Actually, it would work better on a N-S highway than an East West Highway. On an east west route, one side would be in perpetual shade and the other in perpetual sunlight.
He doesn’t want Biden to receive credit. He’ll insist that he will do something bigger and better and of course he won’t. Same goes for renewable energy industry which was actually generating jobs in places like AZ. He is such a small man.
“fuck it, release ‘em all.” Even the Fraternal Order of Police doesn't approve. Yeah, then why is almost every cop a Trumper????? Law & Order my ass.
It’s amazing that these Republicans fucks are nodding their heads and pretending nothing ever happened. The Latinos who voted for this are now going to get a great big dose of FAFO, too. No one is coming to save us…we’re going to have to find a way to save ourselves.
And Jeff: Did you see this about a proposed new ejaculation law? Someone tell me how this will be enforced? 😂😂😂
I think that bill is supposed to be satire; a comment the general unfairness on anti-reproductive-rights legislation that targets only women, that kind of thing
Actually, this bill is a brave, beautiful thing. When awful consequences blow back hard on the perpetrators (in this case, men who want a stranglehold over women's reproductive rights), it might cause them to stop abruptly and fall on their faces.
So this Erection Bill is not real? It does bring men into the reproductive freedom issue. Too many men have been silent on the profound effects of abortion bans. Until their wives, sisters, daughters DIE needless deaths. Or unwanted pregnancy fears cause women to withhold sex. Or a family ends up with 2 or 3 unplanned children they'll struggle to support.
Yes, I’m sure it is satire & to deride the foolish R clowns. I posted a link to an article about him also that says he’s been getting death threats….. who’da thunk it? 🙄
He was newly arrested on a warrant issued a year and a half ago. The authorities were just waiting for him to get out of prison, and if he did so earlier than expected, well then they got to pounce early.
I’m behind on catching up with Jeff’s missives, so I’m sure you’re already aware that one of them has been shot & killed by an officer during a traffic stop, & another one has been arrested for causing a fatal car crash while DUI.
trust me, I leapt all over this one, because it had This Week In Stupid written all over it. so it was almost disappointing when I learned it was a goof
I haven't laughed so hard at such a proposal, since....well, I can't think when. I thought I was reading an article from the Onion. But Mr. Tiedrich's suggestion makes sense.
Even so, the obvious ridiculousness of it highlights the equally ridiculous demand that ALL anti-reproductive legislation targets women while the men walk away, free from any responsibility. Good job Mr. Blackmon.
Quote: In a statement to WLBT News, Blackmon wrote, “All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation.”
I would argue the words “at least” are missing here, as in “men are at least fifty percent of the equation.” In cases of rape and incest, just because the woman’s body supplies the egg doesn’t mean she’s fifty percent responsible for what happen as a result.
Senator Blackman is a Democrat & a Black man, & he, of course proposed that bill to try to show people how damned absurd the anti choice idiots are. I think I’m in love with him. ❤️
Sorry, nothing but contempt for the Latinos who fell for Trump. I’m a person of Mexican descent (my grandparents were all from Mexico). All my family is English speaking (most of us are only English speakers). What did these people THINK was gonna happen?
Just wondering how many Latinos for Trump are in precarious employment and worry that new immigrants would be willing to work for less and take THEIR jobs? That would also fit earlier immigration patterns, where the last immigrants looked down and vilified the newest batch.
Same with my family who came here in the early 20's. Can not understand why they thought they would ever be one of them. All he wanted was their money and their vote. Now, they don't exist for him and he would step right over them if they were dying in the street.
I know, right? A (sort of) man who wears makeup, a girdle, lifts in his shoes, and a poorly fitting suit, because he won't pay a tailor, does not fit any concept of "manly". More like Clownly.
I’m with you!! I was so appalled at the ones in AZ & NV asked on camera why they would vote for drumph when he clearly said he was going to do mass deportations? Every one of them replied, “ Well, he doesn’t mean ME, or the ones who are working & not committing any crimes.” Duh 🙄
How many times were Stephanie Miller or Tom Homan on camera saying that if you crossed the border illegally, then you are by definition a criminal??
Did they just block that out of their hearing?? What the fuck?
I'm realizing that most serious commentators will have to start speaking the language of Jeff Tiedrich, and acknowledge him as a prophet, because no other language is adequate for bearing witness to this vortex of cruel, foul, destructive, bigoted, blundering, blustering idiocy.
One pardoned insurrectionist already rearrested. Dems need to read into the Congressional Record the names and crimes for 100 or so insurrectionists a day. You know, “John Doe, pardoned by Donald Trump for his conviction of assaulting a police officer. Mary Roe, pardoned by Donald Trump for her conviction of felony breaking and entering.” Then whenever one is rearrested, or a restraining order is placed on one, enter the name again: “John Doe, etc. etc., charged with spousal assault in Backwater, Fl”
Now that the hounds are loose, we need to keep a close eye on every one of these assholes. Just like the sleuths did after J6 in the discovery of who they were. You know they will fuck up because they are Fuck Ups. I stand with Michael. FUCK YOU Stewart and all of you mother fucking idiots, to and including 47. Sorry, but I'm really pissed off now.
I saw a post on Facebook that shared a X message from an individual whose wife was about to take a wonderful new job with the VA and was ready to move to a new city. The job offer was rescinded in one of trump's Day One EOs. Now the family is shit out of luck. The X (or tweet) was directed to real donald trump begging him to "correct" the "mistake" because the affected woman (and her husband) are "HUGE TRUMP" supporters. Tough noogies, pal. You bought it; he broke it. You get no sympathy from me.
Gini, the maga FO posts here are helping me cope with this unfolding horror. I was briefly comforted that the NY immigrant sweep was for law breakers. Are these felony or for violent crime charges only?
OMFG! Look at all these groups who are shocked - SHOCKED! - that Dumpy is fulfilling (some of) the promises he campaigned on. The Fraternal Order of Police is just AGHAST that he pardoned all those MAGAts who beat up cops ("I'm going to pardon the J6 hostages and patriots who've been treated so badly.") Hispanics are DISMAYED that he shut down the Spanish-language pages on the White House website ("The people they're sending are rapists and criminals, and some, I assume, are good people." "They're poisoning the blood our country." "Vermin." "We're going to deport all 11 million of them on my first day as president." Well, ok, I made that one up.) Were these people not listening? Veterans, you're probably next, as he makes it more difficult to claim benefits not obviously linked to combat, like PTSD and exposure to burn pits. Or you, boomers - watch him cut your social security and Medicare benefits. (Full disclosure: I'm a boomer and a Medicare beneficiary, and I resent being shit on because the rest of you were too stupid to understand what was going on.)
Is the whole pearl clutching from the popo just performative? I don't understand how these organizations can be so politically unastute. That's what's shocking about all of this. The whole, I can't be bothered until you shit on my toast, way they cast about.
Thank you for keeping those images and videos on the front burner, Jeff. We will need them. I heard a lot of those GOP scumbags saying they could not recall this or that about Jan. 6. The truly laughable one was the 56 IQ ape Tubesteakville. What a complete embarrassment to Alabama (if that is even possible). We need to keep showing these videos to the low-lifes in our lives that we cannot avoid. Oh, and the police unions who backed this fat drooling pumpkin, they can fuck themselves with a crowbar. Nice job standing up for your fellow officers. Oink.
When I get my local FOP fundraiser in the mail they will get a letter from me explaining why I will NOT be donating to them and that they “can go fuck themselves.” Thank you Officer Fanone and your fellow officers for your sacrifices. Officer Brian Sicknick’s parents live in the next town over from me. I grieve for them and all of those who continue to suffer from this attempted coup.
Yes, Officer Fanone speaks for me. Like so many others, I watched the riot happening in real time on live television. Officer Fanone has always had the courage to continue to speak the truth, and he has placed himself in jeopardy for doing so. Now that J6 rioters are going to be free to up the ante and arm themselves (as if most weren't already armed!), they will be inspired to take whatever actions they feel like, knowing that there are no consequences for criminal behavior. Trump himself has always been a role model for committing crimes with no consequences. He has unleashed a mob that will be happy to follow in his footsteps. I don't realistically feel any optimism about the next 4 years, or the years following the next 4 years. I've seen too much.
Unless you personally experienced the likes and depths of what Sgt. Fanone experienced, please don’t claim he speaks for you. We all saw the shocking and traumatic insurrection. We humbly speak in support of him, and actually support him.
When I said Officer Fanone speaks for me, I meant he was speaking for me when he told a journalist this morning that Stewart Rhodes' "can go fuck himself." Apparently, that wasn't clear enough in my reply. You seem to be offended by what I said, but I didn't need a lecture on the difference between my experience and that of Officer Fanone. I'm well aware of it.
I saw that “peaceful protest” in real time. Since when is peace represented by a noose? Bettering rams? Camo gear?
I live in Canada and I was in Canada watching Canadian news network, and I can guarantee you that what I saw were pea-brained shit gibbons break into the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 with their armor. I saw the Capitol police being assaulted by these assailants, I witnessed Pence being whisked away by security and I was appalled at the noose that was hanging outside at the ready to be put around Pence’s neck had they managed to collar him. I also saw the dimwit Senator from Missouri rushing down the stairs and running to get out of the Capitol. My eyes saw what they saw and anyone saying otherwise is lying through their Fcking teeth.
Gaslighting those of us who DO believe our lying eyes and ears. I watched the whole thing while it was unfolding. WE ALL DID. Gaslighting fools, crooks, and liars! Never forgive, never forget, never give in to this fascist tyranny, even if it comes at you wrapped in the flag, holding a cross and a bible.
Cross and Bible? Nyah.
I was in California, and I saw what you saw live on tv, too.
I’m in NJ, and I witnessed it while on the phone with my sister from TX, neither of us saw anything peaceful or prayerful, just extreme violence against the Police. It was horrifying, and we both cried and asked where the National Guard was.
Maybe what’s required is a petition to be sent to Mickey Mouse, the House Leader providing him with a zillion signatures from people who actually witnessed it with their eyes wide open, and cc’ing the moron in chief as well as SCOTUS.
I was watching it when I posted on some social platform, “Where are the National Guard?” One of our former idiot friends posted, “This is all ANTIFA! The Guard is too corrupt to try and stop this!” Mmmm…Block
I wonder why Trump is pardoning all those Antifa criminals?
They’re long gone
UGH! Drop the idiot friends, Karen!
Apparently she did….they were former friends
Well said!!!
Yeah those of us watching actual news stations saw it unfold live. Donnie O'Sullivan was so brave getting it all on film, even the pile of destroyed news cameras.
Cam, I watched it on CNN and faux tuned into news mix which shows 6 channels at once and 47 just encouraged them
Wow, they dredged up Michele Bachman to offer her version of a prayer meeting. She must be referring to the abridged Gospel included in the Trump Bible
In Sufism we have something called “The Book of the Book”which is a huge book that looks like it’s full of stories and teachings but is mostly blank pages. It’s an illustration of how people mistake the container of something for its contents. I imagine that the real “Trump Bible” should have nothing but a cover and inside not even blank pages but a hollowed out space where one could conceal either a gun or a can of hair spray or spray-on tanning fluid.
Inside the Trump Bible is 90% ads for Trump merch. That's why it keeps getting thicker every year.
For real?
Not to my knowledge.
Love your imagination though, made for a great visual in my mind.
Thank you for this! It is likewise true of science: The book has many blank pages and each time we fill one in with new knowledge another blank page is added.
You are right on.
It's a handy nook for an XXXXLTrumpDepends.
Or bank account info for any interested party to dump money into.
Make that, market that. There are millions of us Christians who could use a little gun safe or journal pages for the duration.
Well, since we know they don't actually read, much less that particular book, they would never find out if that was the case.
Another version could have the pages made of toilet paper, so there could be at least some use made of it.
So you’re Sufi? Do you live in Turkey or do you practice in the U.S. ?
Nail file for escapes from prison.
Plastic handcuff keys.
Dragging that kook out from the dustbin smells like desperation.
Bachman is a white supremacist Christian Nationalist. She never hides it. She is fucking nuts. Minnesota Republicans are white Christian Nationalists. They support white supremacy. Look at Michelle Fischbach, Tom Emmer, Coleman, and the list goes on.
All Republicans are white supremacist Christian nationalists.
You can tell by the "fanatic eyes" they have.
😅
I’ll say….she’s just a wingnut. 🤦♀️
Unfortunately, no "just" about it. She is one scary witch, and she has power.
I know some witches who wouldn’t have anything to do with a creature like that woman 😉
Excellent point. Shall I change the "w" to "b"? But female dogs may be put off by that. Your ideas?
Can't speak for all witches---there are many kinds---but wiccans definitely would turn her away.
I cringe at the site of that stupid bitch! She brings shame to my home state.
Sadly she is not the only one, and we all have them, my state is lousy with them.
I had no idea she was still around. Why any national news media would offer her a microphone and platform is just degenerate.
Every time her stupid mug shows up on any screen I hit the mute button because I know she's going to say something completely deranged. Why, WHY does any self-respecting news outlet put a microphone in front of her face.
Because they have no self-respect and are whores.
There are none left in mainstream.
From the dustbin of history… Fuck Michelle Bachman and all of these gaseous blobs of protoplasmic waste Kim!!
I thought we settled it about Bachmann years ago. That you can be sure she’s Abso-fucking-lutely insane?
So during crazy man’s time, that we’ll probably see the hospitalization rate rise, they go to Bachmann for an opinion???
I never wanted to see her again!
A lot of Minnesotans agree with you wholeheartedly. Myself included.
Hoped to never, o well
zip cuffs, climbing rope....the list of how well the insurrectionists were prepped and equipped indicates some tactical planning--not prayer.
The sanewashing of these connards is disgraceful! Fuck all of them Kay-EI, excellent point!!
A sentence from the novel 1984 comes to mind:
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential, command" George Orwell
I'm going to have to remember this next time we have a climate justice demonstration so I can be sure to bring my Remington pump. Please join us Mike Johnson.
Brilliant idea!!! We can all start to bring ropes with nooses and baseball bats and zip-ties and flagpoles and stun guns to all future protests!!!
The riot was live on TV. Most of the rioters were unmasked so tracking them down from their images on video was not difficult. Millions watched the events live, in public, in living color, with running commentary, recorded from every angle for historic posterity. So no one can say it didn't happen! Not a prayer meeting. Not a garden party. Not a tea social.
"The President invited us so beating up police officers and storming the Capitol and attacking 535 elected Congress members and the Vice President must be legal. Party time!"
They were proud of their attack for Donald's benefit. When criticized, Fox said "They weren't Trump supporters. They were Antifa and FBI agents." Missing the irony, of course, that you can't be proud of law breaking and then blame it on someone else. Own it!
70% of American adults did not vote for Donald. At some point the will of these people will be heard. Remember King Charles I. Tyranny against the people didn't end well.
Nicely said Burke!!
I'm beginning to understand the appeal of decapitation, no legal overturning will undo it, (like wriggling out from an insurrection) and no backsies.
I've never seen peaceful protesters rappelling down walls and tearing up flagpoles....just sayin'. Bachmann has entered the Twilight Zone (along with the rest of the MAGAs, of course).
I'm not sure Bachmann needed to "enter" the Twilight Zone.
Yes, she was already a permanent resident.
Since they didn't actually manage to kill anyone. In Republican land, that qualifies as peaceful.
Actually Police officer Brian Sicknick died that day as did Ashley Babbitt who was killed by a gun shot by police. She was part of the Jan 6th delegation. Other police officers died by suicide in the following days.
Ah, right.
Amended: they didn't kill any politicians, so by their standards it was peaceful.
They didn’t have time to kill any politicians. They were shown the exit to the basement, while others didn’t have time to leave and they just lay down on the floor of the balcony and stayed there until the assault was over.
Please stop sanewashing the events of that awful day in the USA. It will never be erased from my memory and it will live on in many children and grandchildren of all those who witnessed it, either live or on TV.
I wasn't trying to sanewash it, sorry. I was trying to make a dark joke about how low the standards for Republicans are.
They can literally storm the goddamn capitol and the fucking pundits and the press (and Merrick fucking garland) will let them get off with barely even a slap on the wrist. For some of them.
I got your irony.
I’m sorry Lucius, but I don’t think that dark humor belongs anywhere in the description of what happened on that awful day. Your latest response would have been perfect a your first. I’ll leave it at that.
We should key up the soundtrack
https://youtu.be/RJjDXyXP2As?si=luRuokQdtGDOaMR6
every time the Republicans say something like this.
Same here Kay-El peaceful with bear spray that just screams peace ✌️ to everyone
Beating cops with their own riot shields, etc.
America does not have amnesia. We remember the insurrection very clearly.
Touche. It's always the same old shit with these sweep it under rug, in denial assholes. Last we checked, most prayer meetings don't end up with the deaths of five police officers, calls for hanging a VP and the ceremonial shit smearing on walls. Amazing how the GOP continues to have selective memory issues like our kids did when they did something. However, most of our kids never committed treason and didn't attempted to overthrow the government while their deranged dear leader watched these atrocities on TV.
the part of America capable of critical thinking remembers it all too well...MAGAts are choosing to spin it how they choose to spin it...but we all know what we saw that day in the same way we all know that musk gave a nazi salute behind a podium with the POTUS seal on it...I will not be gaslit...EVER!
Sad part is magas will want to believe 😢.
The insurrection is recorded All of it. You fucking batards. Liars. Sub human creeps.
HINOs. (Humans In Name Only).
Couldn't agree more.
Not sure how many were convicted by their own video's but quite a few.
Tell that to John fetterman and the pundits who spent the last four years aiding and abetting Republican gaslighting on the subject.
THERE WILL BE A BACKLASH, and payback is a motherfucker, each and every one of you lying bastards.
I will give Team Convict some credit- they figured out almost 10 years ago that a huge percentage of the American public is brainless and if you promise them anything they want, you can get elected. Even after you fuck up your first term, just keep promising shit and they’ll forget the first term and elect you again.
As my partner says, "Voters have the memory of a gnat."
Trump always knew how to read the room.
Or someone read it to him.
Exactly
The average IQ, (which are unreliable anyway), is 80 to 90. In my family my 6 siblings & myself & our children are in the 145, 154, 168 … one brother, a retires professor is the 168 IQ in our family & my brother who is a Harvard graduate has his PhD & Law Degree, is an environmentalist. His IQ is 153. It is hard to understand how gullible normal & dull normal people are. Watch > ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING, the IQ was constructed to evaluate kindergartners & later it became a way to show white people were Superior. Also IQ test cannot evaluate creativity, kindness, people skills, character, integrity and so much more… but we can SAY, I bet nobody could have imagined that 60% + AMERICANS are pathetically really really STUPID to be sucked in my tRump!
IQ tests were always culturally bias at best.
Love Officer Fanone!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can only imagine how the officers charged with protecting the capitol and the people in it must feel now. They endured a terrifying hell and are now being told it was a peaceful prayer vigil? Irate wouldn't even begin....
I read a long piece on one of the Capitol Police Officers who killed himself after J6. It was heartbreaking
Yes, see my comment below for his Go Fund Me. Let’s show him some support.
YES 👏 👍 He got to say Go Fuck yourself on LIVE tv !!! It was fantastic
This is what happens when people are so blinded by their loathing of "others " that they vote against their interests. Americans have an enormous sense of entitlement. He wants to rescind money for projects passed by legislation for infrastructure and inflation. Way to go dumb ass voters in states that need that money . Kiss the economy and your jobs bye-bye.
"This is what happens when people are so blinded by their loathing of 'others' that they vote against their interests." This is the most concise, on-target description of what has just happened in our nation that I've seen.
True dat kd, knowing that half the population is willfully ignorant fits nicely with the narrative!!
There’s a big solar project between Phoenix and Tucson Arizona on Interstate 10 that’s funded by the inflation reduction act. It’ll just stay an eyesore for the foreseeable future. I’m interested to see what the signage looks like next time I drive to Phoenix
Keep in mind this is one of the hottest and sunniest places in the country. Solar powers a smart idea. They’re also supposed to be widening the interstate.
Bummer. I'm wondering how much GDP will also be lost from California fires. I'm sorry people don't get how interconnected everything is. As my brother said while building houses in NC recently, a 50ft wall of water doesn't care about the gates around your community.
Not as much as you think. We are the fourth largest economy in the world. Think of all the homes that will be built. When we had the Oakland fire in 1991, practically every contractor in the country showed up to get jobs rebuilding. My brother, not the best of them (ask Amy Tan) may show up. Warning: Do not accept a bid from Live Oak Construction, Berkeley, CA.
Ellen, re LA fire aftermath. Paradise, CA's 2018 Camp Fire brought enormous resources to clean up toxic debris. IIRC they removed everything 6 feet down. Gov. Newsom said the fire debris removal from Pacific Palisades to take at least a year. Our highly toxic debris was hauled 20 miles away by a staggering number of trucks. Only step 1.
I hear you. It speaks volumes about the toxicity of the stuff we use.
Sure, who are they going to hire to do all that frame-up work, the drywall & mudding, the roofing, the stucco???
Huge numbers of those laborers are undocumented males.
I live in a smaller village in southern NM that burned last summer & then our summer monsoons came & flooded stuff that didn’t burn, roads & bridges to little clusters of rental cabins washed out. About 900 homes need to be rebuilt & people are just now getting a few foundations laid.
Even though the state generally goes blue, my county is quite red. My friend & handyman, who works construction, is a 33 yr old, undocumented Mexican.
I worry about him getting deported. I msg him every couple days to make sure he’s still okay. He has 2 little boys who are American citizens.
I know it’s not very kind of me, but I hope every damned, rich Texan who had a second home up here in the cool mountains that got burned to the ground, has to wait a really, really long time to get it rebuilt. Same goes for any local who voted for that hateful fuckwad.
This kind of work is done by undocumented all over the country. Around here, if they're not working, they wait at stores that sell building supplies for jobs or at a street corner the city has designated as a pickup point. The city checks to make sure they are getting paid fairly. We see them as hard workers. I just don't understand why there is so much prejudice against them. I don't see them taking American jobs.
I don't think it's unkind, I think it's only fair that people who vote for this kind of draconian shit should suffer the consequences of their actions. If you have enough money to rebuild your second house that is empty until you take a holiday and you voted for mass deportation, maybe you don't deserve a second house built by migrant labor. Maybe those people need to pay union wages to white guys who will charge $200/hr one stupid brick at a time. It bears repeating, nothing is free. Capital is hugely fond of it's ability to externalize the REAL cost of their consumption, so maybe capital should suck it for reducing labor during a labor shortage and plundering GDP for others over their broken thoughts about punishing the working poor. It would be great if it was fafo for people with money and not just the immigrants, the disabled and the pleebs who get to spend their dreams cleaning up after them.
I lived in NorCal for a decade and have family there since the 50s and I don't see how California is going to stay blue while the redev money is under GOP control (conditions?), and alt is private dev money (more GOPs), AND the labor force in construction and ag is already staying home because they're afraid of ice roundups, which apparently started in NJ. I don't think what's in front of us in terms of economic development is even somewhat like what we've seen in the past. Oh and news today is they are disabling FEMA.
Teri is better qualified than me to speak to this. She survived the Camp fire. But I seriously doubt the Bay Area (our nine counties make up the 17th largest economy in the world) will turn red. I buy most of my food sourced in these nine counties. I'm guessing that we won't be vacationing in the mountains and our representatives won't be helping out the red counties. The big question is who runs to succeed Newsom. And I'd like to see California secede. We're big enough (4th largest economy in the world) to be our own country.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think the people will be turning red anytime soon, but I can see GOP mouths foaming over 'conditions' and for all his faults, it's a good question about who comes behind Newsome. Say GOP decides this week FEMA is done and CA doesn't really get bailout money, it's like any war zone where private money and profiteering takes over. It's like what happened with Katrina, the suffering was immense if you stayed, so people were given one way bus tickets to Idaho and weren't beneficiaries of the recovery money spent there. It's super sad.
Your brother must be somewhere near my hometown then rebuilding after Helene? I’m worried about future monies that should be headed to all that area now that the felon is in office. California too is likely to find itself in dire straits as well. God! Of all times to have all these yahoos in power. Not good.
I apologize that I can't remember the name of the first town they were building in - he said only 7 of 41 residents survived. Stunningly sad. They have a Co is SC that cuts house material with lasers (400 patents, eat that Elon), they can put it on a flatbed and drive materials up, set foundation and they show local tradespeople how to construct (so there are local jobs). They developed all this after Katrina. They're going to be able to build like 2000 houses in the near term at cost with state/fed support. They don't want to make money on the tragedy, just want to prove housing can happen without delay and local communities can survive.
I know. I live in eastern Maricopa County. My rep Gregg Stanton has already decried this action .
Greg Stanton is opposing this solar project? He asks me for money.
No he's against the loss of funding. These are clean energy jobs.
Thank you.
How about a quonset hut style arc of solar panels covering the Internet. Sounds like a good use of the space. You could leave a 10 foot tall space on both sides so vehicles could get off if necessary.
covering the *Interstate? I was trying to imagine the solar panels covering the giant system of tubes.
That made me laugh for a moment. But Kathleen has a point. All possible roofs and covers should contain solar panels in the southland.
They should be everywhere but the corps and gvmt here need it to be a money making industry. There was such a glut last yr of Chinese panels that people in Europe were using them for fencing and our gvmt asked the Chinese to stop overproducing because it was hurting our solar industry. Oi. I would have loved to see the gvmt but up the panels and slap them on houses all over the big cities where people will never be able to afford them FOR FREE. In the 70s everyone talked about ecology and "energy independence " (does anyone really remember Jimmy Carter?) and now nobody even considers it as a driving rationale for what we do. It's gross how far off the potato truck we've fallen.
They mostly do in az, especially Phoenix and Tucson most public schools have covered parking with solor panels quite a few business inspite of 47 and have for some time ⏲️ ⏳️
Just brainstorming. I was envisioning it on rural stretches rather than interchanges. Actually, it would work better on a N-S highway than an East West Highway. On an east west route, one side would be in perpetual shade and the other in perpetual sunlight.
Putting solar panels over the canals that bring water south to LA would be even better, reducing water loss from evaporation as a side benefit.
Absolutely. It would also be more effective because those solar panels would be close to the ground and less subject to damage by high winds.
Excellent brainstorming.
I sincerely hope that every employee that got laid off any of those wonderful infrastructure jobs are people who voted for the anus-mouth.
I am angry & vengeful. 🤬
He doesn’t want Biden to receive credit. He’ll insist that he will do something bigger and better and of course he won’t. Same goes for renewable energy industry which was actually generating jobs in places like AZ. He is such a small man.
78 year old mobbed up career criminal and Russian asset, with a drug addled mind as well Michael!!
He also suffers from some type of dementia.
A team of medical professionals concur Sharon!!
"Americans have an enormous sense of entitlement.” You said it. These people deserve to suffer-and they will.
Spot on. Entitlement coupled with a profound lack of accountability or sense of responsibility. It's mind numbing.
Exactly Susan, why is the question??
We’ve filched this country through lies and conquest, allowing ignoble poltroons, criminals and ignorance to power…huh!!
“fuck it, release ‘em all.” Even the Fraternal Order of Police doesn't approve. Yeah, then why is almost every cop a Trumper????? Law & Order my ass.
It’s amazing that these Republicans fucks are nodding their heads and pretending nothing ever happened. The Latinos who voted for this are now going to get a great big dose of FAFO, too. No one is coming to save us…we’re going to have to find a way to save ourselves.
And Jeff: Did you see this about a proposed new ejaculation law? Someone tell me how this will be enforced? 😂😂😂
https://www.wlbt.com/2025/01/22/mississippi-politician-files-contraception-begins-erection-act/
I think that bill is supposed to be satire; a comment the general unfairness on anti-reproductive-rights legislation that targets only women, that kind of thing
Actually, this bill is a brave, beautiful thing. When awful consequences blow back hard on the perpetrators (in this case, men who want a stranglehold over women's reproductive rights), it might cause them to stop abruptly and fall on their faces.
So this Erection Bill is not real? It does bring men into the reproductive freedom issue. Too many men have been silent on the profound effects of abortion bans. Until their wives, sisters, daughters DIE needless deaths. Or unwanted pregnancy fears cause women to withhold sex. Or a family ends up with 2 or 3 unplanned children they'll struggle to support.
It’s very real, just has absolutely no chance of even being debated on the floor of the state legislature
Yes, I’m sure it is satire & to deride the foolish R clowns. I posted a link to an article about him also that says he’s been getting death threats….. who’da thunk it? 🙄
It would be great to have a way to keep track of every crime these 1500 special boys commit in the next two years. That would be news we could use.
One of them was newly-arrested on gun charges.
Someone not entirely clear on the concept. He got pardoned for what he did 4 years ago. Not for what he's going to do now. FAFO
He was newly arrested on a warrant issued a year and a half ago. The authorities were just waiting for him to get out of prison, and if he did so earlier than expected, well then they got to pounce early.
Thank you thank you thank you for this information!
I’m behind on catching up with Jeff’s missives, so I’m sure you’re already aware that one of them has been shot & killed by an officer during a traffic stop, & another one has been arrested for causing a fatal car crash while DUI.
What a bunch of lovable thugs!
Isn't that what the Catholic Church has preached for centuries?
🎶"Every sperm is sacred"...Monty Python group knew!
Yep & I will support that bill 💯💯💯
Oh brother! That is bizarre!!!!
I’m still laughing… WTH? I would love to hear this Senator Blackmon discuss it. And answer the question about enforcement. 😂😂
I volunteer to man the "tip" line
LOL!!
😂😂😂
He’s a Black Democrat & he’s already receiving death threats over his bill.
I posted a link to the Newsweek article
Jeff is correct. Bradford is a Democrat
trust me, I leapt all over this one, because it had This Week In Stupid written all over it. so it was almost disappointing when I learned it was a goof
Lol, right?! However, good on the Rep for introducing it because it just shows how far fetched the real ones are.
Yes 👏 it’s way past time that someone did that. Just to show the anti choices how damned dumb they are.
Yes, I saw that upon further investigation…but since it was out of Mississippi, I jumped! I guess I’m profiling. 😂
It’s understandable!
I haven't laughed so hard at such a proposal, since....well, I can't think when. I thought I was reading an article from the Onion. But Mr. Tiedrich's suggestion makes sense.
Even so, the obvious ridiculousness of it highlights the equally ridiculous demand that ALL anti-reproductive legislation targets women while the men walk away, free from any responsibility. Good job Mr. Blackmon.
Quote: In a statement to WLBT News, Blackmon wrote, “All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation.”
I would argue the words “at least” are missing here, as in “men are at least fifty percent of the equation.” In cases of rape and incest, just because the woman’s body supplies the egg doesn’t mean she’s fifty percent responsible for what happen as a result.
Yes 👏
So stiffies will be illegal?
Mississippi? I rest my case.
I actually love this potential law. What’s good for the goose…. 😂👏👏👏👏
it would be better if they required vascectomies until wanting to reproduce...and being responsible for outcome
That’s exactly the law I want. Mandatory vasectomies at the onset of puberty, no exceptions
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a single sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate!
GMTA!
I strongly support this bill. Or something that acknowledges that “it takes two to tango”.
Onanism ? ! 🤣
The majority of police officers do not vote Republican.
Really? I read this somewhere….
Senator Blackman is a Democrat & a Black man, & he, of course proposed that bill to try to show people how damned absurd the anti choice idiots are. I think I’m in love with him. ❤️
https://www.newsweek.com/democrat-proposing-masturbation-fines-receives-death-threats-2023404
Sorry, nothing but contempt for the Latinos who fell for Trump. I’m a person of Mexican descent (my grandparents were all from Mexico). All my family is English speaking (most of us are only English speakers). What did these people THINK was gonna happen?
Just wondering how many Latinos for Trump are in precarious employment and worry that new immigrants would be willing to work for less and take THEIR jobs? That would also fit earlier immigration patterns, where the last immigrants looked down and vilified the newest batch.
Same here Eva, family tree wise… education is in the toilet
Same with my family who came here in the early 20's. Can not understand why they thought they would ever be one of them. All he wanted was their money and their vote. Now, they don't exist for him and he would step right over them if they were dying in the street.
Como se dice "SUCKER!" in español?
They got duped by the FOTUS.
I think it was the whole "Macho man" thing. As if that walking bowl of rancid pudding was some kind of manly man.
I know, right? A (sort of) man who wears makeup, a girdle, lifts in his shoes, and a poorly fitting suit, because he won't pay a tailor, does not fit any concept of "manly". More like Clownly.
Macho, macho men!
I’m with you!! I was so appalled at the ones in AZ & NV asked on camera why they would vote for drumph when he clearly said he was going to do mass deportations? Every one of them replied, “ Well, he doesn’t mean ME, or the ones who are working & not committing any crimes.” Duh 🙄
How many times were Stephanie Miller or Tom Homan on camera saying that if you crossed the border illegally, then you are by definition a criminal??
Did they just block that out of their hearing?? What the fuck?
I'm realizing that most serious commentators will have to start speaking the language of Jeff Tiedrich, and acknowledge him as a prophet, because no other language is adequate for bearing witness to this vortex of cruel, foul, destructive, bigoted, blundering, blustering idiocy.
THIS RIGHT HERE from Richard Barber. I'm dead fucking serious.
Nailed it
Just like Jenifer Rubin was the first to call the fanatics "Forced Birthers" some terms must be adopted.
One pardoned insurrectionist already rearrested. Dems need to read into the Congressional Record the names and crimes for 100 or so insurrectionists a day. You know, “John Doe, pardoned by Donald Trump for his conviction of assaulting a police officer. Mary Roe, pardoned by Donald Trump for her conviction of felony breaking and entering.” Then whenever one is rearrested, or a restraining order is placed on one, enter the name again: “John Doe, etc. etc., charged with spousal assault in Backwater, Fl”
I love this idea!!
Me too!! 💙💙💙
Blacks who voted for Trump.
Latinos who voted for Trump.
Women who voted for Trump.
Medicare recipients who voted for Trump.
Will now suffer THE WRATH OF IGNORANCE.
Unfortunately, so will many others who did NOT vote for him
All of us will
Add all of the UNION members who voted for the most anti-union president ever!
They already suffer from Ignorance as their vote proved.
Now that the hounds are loose, we need to keep a close eye on every one of these assholes. Just like the sleuths did after J6 in the discovery of who they were. You know they will fuck up because they are Fuck Ups. I stand with Michael. FUCK YOU Stewart and all of you mother fucking idiots, to and including 47. Sorry, but I'm really pissed off now.
Righteously pissed off!
May the reap their karma quickly, before they can harm innocent people and our country, more.
One of those pardoned MOFOs has already been shot & killed by a police officer. 👍
I will not be surprised if more of them fall in with the same fate.
When you're in a cult, they let you do it.
I saw a post on Facebook that shared a X message from an individual whose wife was about to take a wonderful new job with the VA and was ready to move to a new city. The job offer was rescinded in one of trump's Day One EOs. Now the family is shit out of luck. The X (or tweet) was directed to real donald trump begging him to "correct" the "mistake" because the affected woman (and her husband) are "HUGE TRUMP" supporters. Tough noogies, pal. You bought it; he broke it. You get no sympathy from me.
I can ALWAYS recognize an ABUSER, because my father was one.
So sorry. You seem to have risen above it. Good for you!
Oh fuck...*hugs* if you want them, I'm all about consent.
Gini, the maga FO posts here are helping me cope with this unfolding horror. I was briefly comforted that the NY immigrant sweep was for law breakers. Are these felony or for violent crime charges only?
Nope, they don’t gaf if the people they sweep up are felons or law-abiding undocumented folks who have had steady jobs for years; off you go.
Too bad, so sad. 😊
Bet they didn't see that coming
OMFG! Look at all these groups who are shocked - SHOCKED! - that Dumpy is fulfilling (some of) the promises he campaigned on. The Fraternal Order of Police is just AGHAST that he pardoned all those MAGAts who beat up cops ("I'm going to pardon the J6 hostages and patriots who've been treated so badly.") Hispanics are DISMAYED that he shut down the Spanish-language pages on the White House website ("The people they're sending are rapists and criminals, and some, I assume, are good people." "They're poisoning the blood our country." "Vermin." "We're going to deport all 11 million of them on my first day as president." Well, ok, I made that one up.) Were these people not listening? Veterans, you're probably next, as he makes it more difficult to claim benefits not obviously linked to combat, like PTSD and exposure to burn pits. Or you, boomers - watch him cut your social security and Medicare benefits. (Full disclosure: I'm a boomer and a Medicare beneficiary, and I resent being shit on because the rest of you were too stupid to understand what was going on.)
Is the whole pearl clutching from the popo just performative? I don't understand how these organizations can be so politically unastute. That's what's shocking about all of this. The whole, I can't be bothered until you shit on my toast, way they cast about.
They don't exactly hire the rank and file for their intellect, they hire them for their ability to do what they are told.
Omg 😆 I just LOVE all my fellow Jeff readers & commenters; it’s the only time I laugh anymore. 🤣🤣🤣
No they didn't listen by watching faux they got played even Univision was on to FOTUS.
Thank you for keeping those images and videos on the front burner, Jeff. We will need them. I heard a lot of those GOP scumbags saying they could not recall this or that about Jan. 6. The truly laughable one was the 56 IQ ape Tubesteakville. What a complete embarrassment to Alabama (if that is even possible). We need to keep showing these videos to the low-lifes in our lives that we cannot avoid. Oh, and the police unions who backed this fat drooling pumpkin, they can fuck themselves with a crowbar. Nice job standing up for your fellow officers. Oink.
When I get my local FOP fundraiser in the mail they will get a letter from me explaining why I will NOT be donating to them and that they “can go fuck themselves.” Thank you Officer Fanone and your fellow officers for your sacrifices. Officer Brian Sicknick’s parents live in the next town over from me. I grieve for them and all of those who continue to suffer from this attempted coup.
Love it. I will do the same. Always getting those mailers. I cannot wait to reply. Will be worth the stamp. Thank you.
Yes, Officer Fanone speaks for me. Like so many others, I watched the riot happening in real time on live television. Officer Fanone has always had the courage to continue to speak the truth, and he has placed himself in jeopardy for doing so. Now that J6 rioters are going to be free to up the ante and arm themselves (as if most weren't already armed!), they will be inspired to take whatever actions they feel like, knowing that there are no consequences for criminal behavior. Trump himself has always been a role model for committing crimes with no consequences. He has unleashed a mob that will be happy to follow in his footsteps. I don't realistically feel any optimism about the next 4 years, or the years following the next 4 years. I've seen too much.
Unless you personally experienced the likes and depths of what Sgt. Fanone experienced, please don’t claim he speaks for you. We all saw the shocking and traumatic insurrection. We humbly speak in support of him, and actually support him.
When I said Officer Fanone speaks for me, I meant he was speaking for me when he told a journalist this morning that Stewart Rhodes' "can go fuck himself." Apparently, that wasn't clear enough in my reply. You seem to be offended by what I said, but I didn't need a lecture on the difference between my experience and that of Officer Fanone. I'm well aware of it.
I wasn’t offended (a lame retort by you) but since you clarified, there should be no doubt I agree with his statement (see my name).
