"Couchfuck McShillbilly is the gift that keeps on giving..." Dear God!!! I love you Jeff! 😂😂😂
Vance is just blatantly pissing off women every time he opens his mouth. I kinda scared to be too optimistic given how many dumb ass people there are in this country. but the youngin's are registering to vote now BIG TIME. And the women are organizing! There is hope! And it's Friday.
I saw this posted on FaceBook; the author is (I believe) a gentleman named Hank Honig. When he encounters a dyed in the wool MAGAt, this is what he says to it:
“I understand why you’re supporting a man whose morals and actions align perfectly with your own. I understand that being like him is something that excites you and makes you feel less insignificant in a world you can’t understand. I also understand it’s much easier to let someone else think for you and decide where you stand on important issues rather than trying to educate yourself and form your own opinions and thoughts.”
I love Michelle Obama, but I could never support her “they go low, we go high”. While we went high, all the trump slimey ozz, went under us, bringing out his minion sludge.
Wish he would run for the Senate again, we really need him. Maybe NJ's Gov could choose Franken to replace the " gold bar hoardet"....even if he doesn't have NJ residence; hey , Jersites, rent Al an address,Ala Oz!
I knew they were going to sand-bag him, when he humiliated Jeff Sessions into recusing on the Russian influence case as AG. I'm sure he was a naugfhty boy in his younger years, having been a highly sucessful comedian who came up through SNL in the 80's, when John Belushi was snorting coke like a raging bull. It wouldn't be hard to find more republican women who could claim he grabbed their ass.
I agree, but at the time, I don't know that too many people envisioned that Fuckface would be so universally abhorrent in every respect.. not only through the campaign, but well beyond, and years later. He's the stench that keeps on smelling!
Dems have always been able to come back at GOP slimey rhetoric but have refused to-taking “the high road” BS. There are lots of great ways to get our point across while making the point that what Donny or some other slimebag says is just dumb as hell & LIES-please don’t be afraid of calling out lies they say. Maybe it will make people think about what GOP is saying instead of just believing what they say
He doesn’t know how to improve anything-he’s a performance artist-not a leader. Kamala is a leader even if the white GOP men out there think she and other women like her are “childless cat ladies “. I happen to be one myself (but I don’t have a cat) because I choose to be childless-it’s called freedom. We’re all going to lose a lot more freedoms if we let the likes of these Christofascist win in November
I don’t think the Fascist party can win at this point. The constant insults of women, the religious lunacy, the extreme control they dream of…let them pretend the MAGAs represent the world population. They will do their best to cheat…but we’re up for it. We’ve reached OUR breakpoint! Let them feel it!
Aaw c’mon now, he just told those bitcoin tech bros that he would get them so much electricity that they’d be begging him, “Please Sir, don’t give us any more electricity, we have enough.” 🤣🤣
They abandoned their entire political philosophy, all principles (as if they ever had them) and any positive policies for the general population by 2018. Since then, its been an unending race to the bottom. Vance: "my brethren go low, I go lower."
Well, Thiel is relying on his Democratic Sil Val Tech Bro Reid Hoffman to get them all out of the jam that Biden has put them into with Lena Khan. That is one of the reasons they want Trump is so he will let them just grift and grift and grift. Khan is amazing and I hope she is not pushed out. Wondering how many Dems get their funding from Sil Val Tech Bros.
Thank you for the links. Reid Hoffman like Tom Stickler are as bad as the right wing oligarchs. They think that they can buy or extort politicians for power.
I hope that Kamala Harris uses his money and then blows him off.
I certainly hope Khan is not pushed out. Antitrust has been way too lax or completely nonexistent for too long. The fact that almost all of our news & entertainment companies are owned by just 6 people or conglomerates is a ridiculous state of affairs. Another problem that has been brought to our attention since Roe fell, that needs some antitrust lawsuits brought, is the Catholic Church buying up too many or even all of the hospitals in a given area.
Since they refuse to do, not only abortions, but other reproductive procedures such as vasectomies, tubal ligations, hysterectomies (unless it’s horribly prolapsed or eaten up with cancer), etc. This leaves many women & men without easy access to these procedures, having to drive long distances to get the care they need or want. I hope Ms Khan stays right where she is & gets even more aggressive.
I know what you mean. I have been alarmed at their buying up hospitals which means they impose their policies on everyone. In the Midwest there are some states where there is no care that is not tainted by the Catholic Church. In fact, my daughter's friends decided not to go to Uni in Ohio for this reason. I am a super big fan of Ms. Khan's and let us hope that these evil tech cretins, do not push Harris out like they did Biden if she refuses to do their bidding.
That might be Eagleton in 1984. He was the first VP choice of Vice-President Mondale but was removed from the ticket when it was learned that he had a history of electro-convulsive therapy for depression.
What a terrible reason to remove someone from the potential for holding office. Just another example of how we have treated mental illness as if it’s a contagious disease & tried to hide it from public view. I hope we’ve progressed from there, & I believe we have. John Fetterman refusing to step aside from his race after having a stroke that affected his speech & ability to process others speech without written assistance, & other well known people going public with their mental health issues has been a huge help. Let’s continue to De stigmatize this.
A good laugh for this Friday. Who knows what else he's fucked during his very bizarre and twisted past. Emperor Rectum Mouth continues to lose his shit like hasn't before and his lame ass excuses about doing an about face in regards to debating Harris were probably expected. He must be really flipping his crusty old biscuits this morning about the SCOTUS ruling on his no immunity in NY. This compromised court finally got one right.
Donnie Demento is having a lot of trouble adjusting to change... I think Dark Brandon painted his ass into a corner and Karma Kamala is sticking a big old rhetorical knife in him and twisting.
Just read that Judge Merchan will rule on 9/6 if the conviction stands. If so, sentencing will take place on 9/18 as planned. Fingers crossed and bubbly is in the fridge.
I first saw it reporting on our local news station KTLA in SoCal. There are other various newspapers online that are reporting a similar story but still trying to get clarification.
Thank you, Kathleen. I almost unsubscribed a few minutes ago but your comment is giving me hope. Jeff is one of my heroes and I don't understand why he would spread a false rumor and I'm wondering if the Russian bots have sabotaged his page. Jeff should proclaim a rule that if someone is going to post something sketchy they have to include a url. On we go. : )
Why should I have to look itbup if you already have the proof? It is important that the traitors can never find a post in which we spread a false rumor. Peace.
SCOTUS ruling no immunity in NY?! Sigh of relief. But any chance this could extend to GA even though he was president when he tried to interfere with a state election?
Yes!! Jeff, you have articulated my feelings so expertly and given me laughs in the darkness that have surprised me, given me hoots out of the depths, and kept me chuckling! SO glad i subscribed. I learn a lot by following your flowery language!!
He grew up in Ohio,not Appalachia,and he's probably spent more time at Harvard and Silicon Valley,than Ohio,Tim Ryan was pretty thoroughly kicking his ass until Trump endorsed him, he's got all of 18 months experience in politics, like Trump himself,unqualified and incompetent.
I totally agree. Some think we should have business people run our country & that’s why capitalism has run amuck. Just more billionaires making the rules (aka laws) for us middle class & poor people to pay
It was false to say he had confessed it in Hillbilly Elegy, but as to whether it happened or not, well that's a matter of speculation, and wouldn't it be irresponsible not to speculate?
Although I only made Mr Tiedrich's acquaintance a few months ago, he is definitely one of my favorite people on the planet. Indeed, If I was stuck on a desert island and I could get only one link from the Internet each day, it would be Jeff Tiedrich's substack.
Ordinarily, I respect Jeff's judgment a whole lot, I regret deeply that Jeff defended the couch rumor yesterday. On this issue, I think Jeff's not living up to his own high standards.
As we all know, it's impossible to prove a negative. We cannot prove that JFK didn't vote a straight Republican ticket his whole life, and we cannot prove that John Paul II and Mother Teresa didn't have a secret orgy one fine Tuesday. It's hard enough in many instances to prove that an event did happen— it is utterly impossible to prove that an isolated event involving a single individual did not happen.
I earned a PhD in a historical discipline, and “Did it happen?" is the most important question in my profession. I fell in love with history because of its high standards of accuracy and I cannot live without those standards now.
BTW, I love it when Jeff follows his obvious fabrications with, “I may have just made that up.” Jeff is definitely NOT a member of BlueAnon.
Jul 14, 2024 — Researchers who track online conspiracies say liberals, too, are now vulnerable to — and generating — QAnon-like bursts of misinformation.
Consider the source. “To compare what people are saying about this assassination to a cult that believes Democrats are pedophiles who eat children just shows how low WaPo will go on its never-ending quest to get its cash cow back in office (and end the antitrust suit against Amazon).” - WaPo Commenter
I think you meant to say 'prove it's false'? It doesn't matter. What matters is that we always stick to verifiable truths. Why are you resorting to slander when we don't need to? Kamala's going to win. Let's stick to decency.
He is definitely more dangerous than LDFF, because even though he’s a really horrible person, & a horrible campaigner, he is certainly more intelligent than the shitstain
“The Ohio senator was mocked on his own social media post because of a picture that he shared which showed a dolphin apparently attempting to mate with a woman.”
I for one am LOVING that they have chosen the first Millennial at the top of their ticket—and that particular Millennial never learned the cardinal lesson of their generation: that the internet is FOREVER!!
Well...I can see why the extremists in the Republican Party liked Vance, because he's as big a pile of Bigoted Christofascist Shit as they all are! Too bad that's not enough on its own to win a national election....
How long before we find out J.D. Vance and Mike Johnson are secretly doing each other in the Congressional cloakrooms, do you think? They both have that whiff of Deeply-Closeted Right-Winger with a Publicly Homophobic Stance....
Haha, thanks for the imagery. Ick. Yeah, those hateful zealots who accuse and persecute LGBTQ people may be hiding their own secrets. I call it Roy Cohn- J. Edgar Hoover syndrome
Since Roy Cohn was gay and Trump was his acolyte, do you think...Nah. Couldn't be. Anyway, most boys are exposed to sex with males and some go one way and some another. None of my business.
Trump seems to just be a hateful person in general, although he doesn't hit at the LGBTQ community as much as the rest of MAGA. Maybe because he's not religious. Cohn definitely taught him to be a ruthless shitbag, though
If only…I think it would do BOTH of them, and the rest of us, tons of good to for them to just go to town on each other then come out and proud. I would attend a parade in their honor!
I thought about calling his senate office in DC to say that I strongly object to his assertion that people without children don't have as strong a stake in the future of this country as do parents -- and then I thought, Why be more one voice letting him know how much he screwed up?
The more he continues to say offensive stuff, the better off we'll all be in the long run: He'll disgust swing voters, and at least some (maybe many) will back Harris.
Worst VP pick in decades alongside the worst president in US history. Yup, that's on brand for today's GOP.
For him to say that childless people have less concern about the future is typical conservative judgmentalism. They are the ones who don't give a shit about the environment, pollution, violence, Third World population issues like food, clean water, medical care, etc. They are the ones actively pursuing fascism and domination by ginning up racism, tribalism, bigotry, and xenophobia. We on the left are concerned with the big picture. They are only concerned with themselves
( actually they find me very entertaining 😉) I don't care about all children ? I definitely do ! My niece ( now an adult & a teacher ) That's WHY I have been a lifelong Democrat.
Exactly Kristy, I lost my only child in 2008, & then 1 of my sisters in 2015. She told me that she wasn’t afraid to die, she just worried about leaving her 2 boys & her grandbabies. I assured her that I would take them under my wing as if they were mine.
I’ve set up UGMA accounts for all 4 of her grandchildren, & I’ve done the same for the 3 children of a young good friend of mine. So I have many children that I care very much about.
I’m sure that you & I care more about all of those things that you listed than Trump or Vance ever even thought about.
You, I, & all of the other “childless” cat & dog ladies are very insulted & super angry at the hubris of that insignificant twerp. 🤬🤬
Susan, YES!!! Fuck a couch and find out JD Vance! As Eddie Murphy might have said back in the 1980's under different circumstances, "What's next? Fuck an armchair and your dick will blow up?!" Yes, actually, JD, you have just blown up. It sucks to blast out on the national and international stage without proper vetting. Rumors are cruel. "Word" gets out about the most buried of personal moments and the next thing you know neighbors are making small talk as they wheel in their trash and recycling bins: "I heard he fucked a Hobby Horse." to which a lady across the street interjects, "No, it was his mother's pin cushion. The Catholic guilt and all."
Crusty old cumsock Carville is bloviating about the Dems being too giddy about Kamala. Thinks they might start celebrating too early and lose their momentum. A little giddiness might be appropriate to release the long pent up anxiety, James.
Um—try to shove Goldwater Girl Hillary Rodham Clinton down our throats TWICE, convince her that starting Birther rumors about Barack Obama was a good idea (even she realized what a hot potato that was, and chucked it to her goodbuddy Donald Trump!), and would have destroyed the Democratic Party altogether with Clinton NeoLiberalism had Bernie Sanders not challenged the DNC to Do Better, and showed people SICK of Republican Lite Democrats that there was another way...?
I didn't use the word insane, but it's interesting that it was the first thing YOU thought of regarding yourself. Big shock also that you're a Bernie Bro. I feel sorry for your mom. Imagine getting you instead of a period.
Anyone who was on the "Answer the Call" last evening will tell you that giddiness was not present. There was pride, determination, and 'sisterhood' like I've never experienced before.
Everyone understands the assignment...the feeling that women are united and together we can beat these MFs!!! No one is taking anything for granted.👊💙
A critique some years ago offered to H. Clinton: you are talking, no one is listening. Wow. Well people are listening. Kamala connects. The Magat’s sad tropes aren’t working. Crazy Cat Lady—bring it on; sofa sex really doesn’t sell. Or Project 2025. Or mass detention and deportation as being anything other than fascist. We are tired, just tired of dystopian rhetoric. Kamala, you rock it. Prosecutor vs. Felon—I approve this ad.
I think the problem with Hillary (besides the Russian interference and back stabbing Comey) was that she doesn't have the charisma and coolness that Kamala has. Not her fault - you either have it or you don't. Obama had tons of it. Plus Hillary had a history with the American public as First Lady. My mom had voted Dem for the first time for Clinton in 1992, but always really disliked Hillary. Don't know why. I voted for her and would again. She would have made a good president in spite of the fact that the GOP would have tried to make us all miserable screaming about her in a daily basis. Things turn out the way they were meant to be. How many of us knew back in 2016 how nutty some Americans are and cultlike? Trump brought them all out of hiding.
They had sabotaged her so thoroughly for 30 years, it's no mystery why people "weren't listening to her" in 2016. People keep picking apart her 2016 campaign on every level, but "her opponents were cheating like hell" never seems to factor into the equation, and it should.
So true. The conservatives hate the Clintons with a passion and worked relentlessly to smear them. 'Course, Bill gave them ammunition with his hounddogging around. And Hillary with the private email server, even though others, including Javanka, did the same. I tell people, if the Clintons had really done anything provable, wouldn't the right wing like nothing more than to really "lock them up?" Unlike their own nominee, the Clintons have never been indicted.
I believe Hillary lost the social media war to Trump,and she didn't campaign enough in battleground states and took them for granted,but really,water under the bridge.
Also James Comey re-opening the email investigation right before Election Day.
That really changed the complexion of the race. I'm not saying Comey did it for partisan reasons, but he got his "thank you" later by being fired by orange douchebag
Yes, she had a long history with the public and that factor makes you either liked or disliked. Hard to change that perception. She did though make a big mistake about the email server. When you are that controversial and there's so much at stake, why would you chance it with that server? And the excuse that everyone does it isn't an excuse. It may have cost her the election.
The younger generation weren't around to hear that comment or remember it. She just started the race with two hurdles to overcome - being a woman and the public already having an opinion about her.
When you go nuclear, it can still be the high road. 🙂 That master level troll job was nothing but facts. No low blows, no name calling, nothing like that. And it's a carry over from Biden's trolling of Drumpf and the Republicans. This is why I'm happy that Kamala didn't clean house when she took over the campaign.
An Axios poll yesterday,(shit,I picked the wrong career,pollsters and weatherperson,be wrong most of the time,still keep your job) says 18 to 34 year olds,Harris is beating Trump 60% to 40%,you keep on saying climate change and women's rights are nonsense Trumpy-the-clown.
They said she was a poor campaigner because she ducked out of the race "too early" in 2020. Me, I think she saw clearly how crowded a field it was, including established progressive "icons" like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and recognized that she couldn't stand out enough to win. So she got out cleanly, before being forced to negative-campaign against anyone else in her own party. Seems like the smartest move to me.
Robin Pennachia on Wonkette Substack the other day had some TikTok vids of Appalachian people accusing him of not really being of their ilk, falsely portraying them as lazy, and profiting off of them. So he is not universally loved by the "hillbillies."
I believe Pence did an interview saying he should never be in a room alone with a woman who's not his wife,Trumpy probably said 'WTF Mike!!! That's when you get 'em!!'....but that's purely conjecture on my part...
Apparently he underwent conversion therapy to cure...ya know,the gay,see how that works out,he looks like Evil Spock ready for a threesome on a couch with Tucker Carlson and a green M&M.
The convicted felon is only going to continue spiraling down the drain bc drains. And I’ve never been more entertained by the hillbilly vp pick who keeps shooting himself in his couch cushioned dick. My god it feels wonderful to laugh again and be so motivated to fight this good fight. I can’t wait for the trickle down effect to pour water on the dumpster fire of NorCal local politics. The states Dem candidates need our strong support! Happy weekend all 😎
It's so strange in NorCal. A large percentage of the population up there is on some kind of Go'ment assistance program. Why would they want that to stop? No logic, none at all. Full disclosure: I have relatives up there and also in Idaho so I do see the crazy.
Full disclosure Arne, I’m a native Idahoan who moved here almost 4 years ago bc of grandchildren. Being blue here is twilight zone, and it had turned into that when I left Idaho. So you totally get it. Cool!
Yeah, I’m from Boise and it’s mostly the north end that’s heavily lib. It went to hell when the current gov was elected. But there’s always hope. Go Boise State 💙
Jerkoff Dipshit Vance is at the Find Out portion of his political career and the Feline Frauleins are going to hand him his ass. The Daily Beast is coming out with a list of powerful Childless Cat Ladies today. Even conservative women are turning against them. It couldn't happen to a more deserving pair of misogynistic chauvinistic limpdicks.
"Couchfuck McShillbilly is the gift that keeps on giving..." Dear God!!! I love you Jeff! 😂😂😂
Vance is just blatantly pissing off women every time he opens his mouth. I kinda scared to be too optimistic given how many dumb ass people there are in this country. but the youngin's are registering to vote now BIG TIME. And the women are organizing! There is hope! And it's Friday.
👏👏👏👏 Have a great weekend! ✌️
Biggest case of buyers remorse in V.P. history.
...and that's a pretty high bar, after Sarah Palin! lol
elseweb: JD Vance is the Sarah Palin of Dan Quayles
I saw this posted on FaceBook; the author is (I believe) a gentleman named Hank Honig. When he encounters a dyed in the wool MAGAt, this is what he says to it:
“I understand why you’re supporting a man whose morals and actions align perfectly with your own.

I really like that!
I’m saving this and using it on its supporters. Thanks!
Absolutely! Hank Honig said it makes them nuts because they know he’s a slime bag and they really don’t want to be compared to him. 😁
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
It's pretty good.
I love Michelle Obama, but I could never support her “they go low, we go high”. While we went high, all the trump slimey ozz, went under us, bringing out his minion sludge.
I couldn't agree with you more - McConnell was already bragging about breaking the Senate by then, wasn't he?
Ask Al Franken about how effective Ds taking the high ground proved to be.
Wish he would run for the Senate again, we really need him. Maybe NJ's Gov could choose Franken to replace the " gold bar hoardet"....even if he doesn't have NJ residence; hey , Jersites, rent Al an address,Ala Oz!
I like your train of thought.
I knew they were going to sand-bag him, when he humiliated Jeff Sessions into recusing on the Russian influence case as AG. I'm sure he was a naugfhty boy in his younger years, having been a highly sucessful comedian who came up through SNL in the 80's, when John Belushi was snorting coke like a raging bull. It wouldn't be hard to find more republican women who could claim he grabbed their ass.

Maybe it will make people think about what GOP is saying instead of just believing what they say
Fuck, I remember thinking it couldn’t get worse than Dan Quayle!
haha, right??!! Me too!! And think I could never despise a Republican president more than I did Reagan. Oh, those sweet, naive 1980s lol
For real—we were so green!!
Me too! How wrong we were!
All the Rethugs have is spewing hate, they've abandoned all issues and character.
Not once has trumpolini given an example of how he would improve anything. Not one specific thing.
He doesn’t know how to improve anything-he’s a performance artist-not a leader. Kamala is a leader even if the white GOP men out there think she and other women like her are “childless cat ladies “. I happen to be one myself (but I don’t have a cat) because I choose to be childless-it’s called freedom. We’re all going to lose a lot more freedoms if we let the likes of these Christofascist win in November
I don’t think the Fascist party can win at this point. The constant insults of women, the religious lunacy, the extreme control they dream of…let them pretend the MAGAs represent the world population. They will do their best to cheat…but we’re up for it. We’ve reached OUR breakpoint! Let them feel it!
Aaw c’mon now, he just told those bitcoin tech bros that he would get them so much electricity that they’d be begging him, “Please Sir, don’t give us any more electricity, we have enough.” 🤣🤣
They abandoned their entire political philosophy, all principles (as if they ever had them) and any positive policies for the general population by 2018. Since then, its been an unending race to the bottom. Vance: "my brethren go low, I go lower."
Peter Thiel and Putin are not getting their money’s worth.
Well, Thiel is relying on his Democratic Sil Val Tech Bro Reid Hoffman to get them all out of the jam that Biden has put them into with Lena Khan. That is one of the reasons they want Trump is so he will let them just grift and grift and grift. Khan is amazing and I hope she is not pushed out. Wondering how many Dems get their funding from Sil Val Tech Bros.

https://www.levernews.com/dems-billionaire-tech-donor-presses-harris-to-fire-antitrust-regulator/
Thank you for the links. Reid Hoffman like Tom Stickler are as bad as the right wing oligarchs. They think that they can buy or extort politicians for power.
I hope that Kamala Harris uses his money and then blows him off.
I certainly hope Khan is not pushed out. Antitrust has been way too lax or completely nonexistent for too long. The fact that almost all of our news & entertainment companies are owned by just 6 people or conglomerates is a ridiculous state of affairs.

I am a super big fan of Ms. Khan's and let us hope that these evil tech cretins, do not push Harris out like they did Biden if she refuses to do their bidding.
To quote Jeff….”boo fucking hoo!”
Let us hope they never do again.
He bought a product, it was broken, no receipt, no returns after 30 days
Sad, so SAD 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Ain't it great!
This will not endear Jr and whatshisname, er, Eric, to their already disdainful and disapproving "father."
Fredo.
He wishes he was Fredo. He's Carlo.
Without a doubt
That might be Eagleton in 1984. He was the first VP choice of Vice-President Mondale but was removed from the ticket when it was learned that he had a history of electro-convulsive therapy for depression.
What a terrible reason to remove someone from the potential for holding office. Just another example of how we have treated mental illness as if it’s a contagious disease & tried to hide it from public view. I hope we’ve progressed from there, & I believe we have. John Fetterman refusing to step aside from his race after having a stroke that affected his speech & ability to process others speech without written assistance, & other well known people going public with their mental health issues has been a huge help.

A good laugh for this Friday. Who knows what else he's fucked during his very bizarre and twisted past. Emperor Rectum Mouth continues to lose his shit like hasn't before and his lame ass excuses about doing an about face in regards to debating Harris were probably expected. He must be really flipping his crusty old biscuits this morning about the SCOTUS ruling on his no immunity in NY. This compromised court finally got one right.
Donnie Demento is having a lot of trouble adjusting to change... I think Dark Brandon painted his ass into a corner and Karma Kamala is sticking a big old rhetorical knife in him and twisting.
He's finally getting the message that not everything goes his way and it's such a delight to see.
He is in NARCISSIST HELL👺
He can’t get his way
People are mocking him
He is losing AGAIN!
We are all getting a good laugh at his downfall… poor biatch!!!
Rick, It truly is enjoyable to watch. So relaxing too!
Oh my Repugs,we're all laughing at you now, around the world.
Oooh, I did not know that. Amazing. Must check it out.
Can you provide a source? Saw where the DA said he has no immunity.
Just read that Judge Merchan will rule on 9/6 if the conviction stands. If so, sentencing will take place on 9/18 as planned. Fingers crossed and bubbly is in the fridge.
Michael Popok on 'Legal AF' on Miedastouch.
He’s great! Used to be a judge.
I first saw it reporting on our local news station KTLA in SoCal. There are other various newspapers online that are reporting a similar story but still trying to get clarification.
There's a story him waking up from passing out with an M&M container svoved inbhis ass. And he wrote (can't post the picture here)
Whoops!! A troll slipped...
Yep, that's pure cult grammar lol. Hopefully, Jeff is aware of this sitch.
Post a link or delete this please. : )
Excuse me, unless you name is Tiedrich, you don't tell others what to do in this space. Go look itbup.
I can't respect those who do not provide links.
Thank you, Kathleen. I almost unsubscribed a few minutes ago but your comment is giving me hope. Jeff is one of my heroes and I don't understand why he would spread a false rumor and I'm wondering if the Russian bots have sabotaged his page. Jeff should proclaim a rule that if someone is going to post something sketchy they have to include a url. On we go. : )
I'll tey to live with tge shame of a total strangwr i'll never encounter again not rwspecting me
Why should I have to look itbup if you already have the proof? It is important that the traitors can never find a post in which we spread a false rumor. Peace.
Itvposted it on his Facebook page
Because i can't share photos here.
Who are you people?
Maybe the torch-wielding
villagers outside the gate are having some affect...
SCOTUS ruling no immunity in NY?! Sigh of relief. But any chance this could extend to GA even though he was president when he tried to interfere with a state election?
God I love this newsletter.
Same. I think Jeff is a national treasure.
Yes!! Jeff, you have articulated my feelings so expertly and given me laughs in the darkness that have surprised me, given me hoots out of the depths, and kept me chuckling! SO glad i subscribed. I learn a lot by following your flowery language!!
Every single day…it’s the best!
The false sofa story is sticking because Couchfuck McShillbilly seems like the kind of guy who would!
prove it's not false. AP had to delete their "fact check" because they couldn't prove it was false. I mean, it might be false — but you can't prove it
I think he should also produce his birth certificate to prove he is a real "hillbilly." Some dark rumors suggest otherwise...
He grew up in Ohio,not Appalachia,and he's probably spent more time at Harvard and Silicon Valley,than Ohio,Tim Ryan was pretty thoroughly kicking his ass until Trump endorsed him, he's got all of 18 months experience in politics, like Trump himself,unqualified and incompetent.
Ryan ran as Republican light, the same mistake that all Ohio Dems make. A real progressive would have kicked his ass.
Damn straight.
Apparently they'll be a ballot measure in Ohio to end gerrymandering though,hope!!
I totally agree. Some think we should have business people run our country & that’s why capitalism has run amuck. Just more billionaires making the rules (aka laws) for us middle class & poor people to pay
People are saying...
“Shoe, meet other foot !”
The sleuths have found the sofa story. It was indeed in his book - the first print edition but removed for paperback and subsequent editions.
Prove it! I can't stand him but you have to prove it.
I guess I should have said "allegedly" false, I certainly cannot prove it isn't true. I just read this re the source: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jd-vance-couch-cushions/.
It was false to say he had confessed it in Hillbilly Elegy, but as to whether it happened or not, well that's a matter of speculation, and wouldn't it be irresponsible not to speculate?
Although I only made Mr Tiedrich's acquaintance a few months ago, he is definitely one of my favorite people on the planet. Indeed, If I was stuck on a desert island and I could get only one link from the Internet each day, it would be Jeff Tiedrich's substack.
Ordinarily, I respect Jeff's judgment a whole lot, I regret deeply that Jeff defended the couch rumor yesterday. On this issue, I think Jeff's not living up to his own high standards.
As we all know, it's impossible to prove a negative. We cannot prove that JFK didn't vote a straight Republican ticket his whole life, and we cannot prove that John Paul II and Mother Teresa didn't have a secret orgy one fine Tuesday. It's hard enough in many instances to prove that an event did happen— it is utterly impossible to prove that an isolated event involving a single individual did not happen.
I earned a PhD in a historical discipline, and “Did it happen?" is the most important question in my profession. I fell in love with history because of its high standards of accuracy and I cannot live without those standards now.
BTW, I love it when Jeff follows his obvious fabrications with, “I may have just made that up.” Jeff is definitely NOT a member of BlueAnon.
Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/07/14/blueanon-conspiracy-theories-trump-rally-shooting/
Jul 14, 2024 — Researchers who track online conspiracies say liberals, too, are now vulnerable to — and generating — QAnon-like bursts of misinformation.
Consider the source. “To compare what people are saying about this assassination to a cult that believes Democrats are pedophiles who eat children just shows how low WaPo will go on its never-ending quest to get its cash cow back in office (and end the antitrust suit against Amazon).” - WaPo Commenter
I think you meant to say 'prove it's false'? It doesn't matter. What matters is that we always stick to verifiable truths. Why are you resorting to slander when we don't need to? Kamala's going to win. Let's stick to decency.
Excuse me,who needs to prove anything to you Blue Dawg?
😂😂😂😂😉
And it's actually not the worst thing about him.
I didn't think it was possible,but he might be a bigger shitstain than Trump.
He is definitely more dangerous than LDFF, because even though he’s a really horrible person, & a horrible campaigner, he is certainly more intelligent than the shitstain
Then there’s Dolphin Gate.🐬😂
I've missed dolphin gate. If he was cruel to a dolphin, I want to know.
“The Ohio senator was mocked on his own social media post because of a picture that he shared which showed a dolphin apparently attempting to mate with a woman.”
I for one am LOVING that they have chosen the first Millennial at the top of their ticket—and that particular Millennial never learned the cardinal lesson of their generation: that the internet is FOREVER!!
Hoo boy. Surprising how not smart he is.
I hate him too.
HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahEXACTLY!!!!
Well...I can see why the extremists in the Republican Party liked Vance, because he's as big a pile of Bigoted Christofascist Shit as they all are! Too bad that's not enough on its own to win a national election....
How long before we find out J.D. Vance and Mike Johnson are secretly doing each other in the Congressional cloakrooms, do you think? They both have that whiff of Deeply-Closeted Right-Winger with a Publicly Homophobic Stance....
Haha, thanks for the imagery. Ick. Yeah, those hateful zealots who accuse and persecute LGBTQ people may be hiding their own secrets. I call it Roy Cohn- J. Edgar Hoover syndrome
👏👏 exactly!
Since Roy Cohn was gay and Trump was his acolyte, do you think...Nah. Couldn't be. Anyway, most boys are exposed to sex with males and some go one way and some another. None of my business.
Trump seems to just be a hateful person in general, although he doesn't hit at the LGBTQ community as much as the rest of MAGA. Maybe because he's not religious. Cohn definitely taught him to be a ruthless shitbag, though
No! He wouldn't cheat on his couch!
If only…I think it would do BOTH of them, and the rest of us, tons of good to for them to just go to town on each other then come out and proud. I would attend a parade in their honor!
I'm not sure I'd go THAT far—but it would be a nice change from the way they are now....
No doubt.
Vance's under eyeliner is certainly a tell. ' )
Eddie Izzard is looking at Vance and murmuring, "No, luv—that's too much of a good thing...."
That name just cracked me up. Maybe we should start our own political dictionary. Jeff can be in charge. Fucking priceless!!!
Hey, road warrior stay safe. Wagons West fuckers! 😅
I thought about calling his senate office in DC to say that I strongly object to his assertion that people without children don't have as strong a stake in the future of this country as do parents -- and then I thought, Why be more one voice letting him know how much he screwed up?
The more he continues to say offensive stuff, the better off we'll all be in the long run: He'll disgust swing voters, and at least some (maybe many) will back Harris.
Worst VP pick in decades alongside the worst president in US history. Yup, that's on brand for today's GOP.
For him to say that childless people have less concern about the future is typical conservative judgmentalism. They are the ones who don't give a shit about the environment, pollution, violence, Third World population issues like food, clean water, medical care, etc. They are the ones actively pursuing fascism and domination by ginning up racism, tribalism, bigotry, and xenophobia. We on the left are concerned with the big picture. They are only concerned with themselves
Like since I never bore children ,
( actually they find me very entertaining 😉) I don't care about all children ? I definitely do ! My niece ( now an adult & a teacher ) That's WHY I have been a lifelong Democrat.
Exactly Kristy, I lost my only child in 2008, & then 1 of my sisters in 2015. She told me that she wasn’t afraid to die, she just worried about leaving her 2 boys & her grandbabies. I assured her that I would take them under my wing as if they were mine.
I’ve set up UGMA accounts for all 4 of her grandchildren, & I’ve done the same for the 3 children of a young good friend of mine. So I have many children that I care very much about.
I’m sure that you & I care more about all of those things that you listed than Trump or Vance ever even thought about.
You, I, & all of the other “childless” cat & dog ladies are very insulted & super angry at the hubris of that insignificant twerp. 🤬🤬
You're a beautiful human being 👏💙
You are so right. Let him keep stepping in it!
Hope is placed on the Younguns and the Women, the two groups that the Right wing plan to more fully enslave. So, we better hope we get out the vote.
Couchfuck McShillbilly was my personal favorite as well.
You have a great weekend Susan. I hope everything goes smoothly for you over the next week or so.
The best part is trump defending him while whispering to campaign people, “SHUT HIM THE FICK UP, WILL YOU??? “
Look what you started Susan! 👏👏👏
Susan, YES!!! Fuck a couch and find out JD Vance! As Eddie Murphy might have said back in the 1980's under different circumstances, "What's next? Fuck an armchair and your dick will blow up?!" Yes, actually, JD, you have just blown up. It sucks to blast out on the national and international stage without proper vetting. Rumors are cruel. "Word" gets out about the most buried of personal moments and the next thing you know neighbors are making small talk as they wheel in their trash and recycling bins: "I heard he fucked a Hobby Horse." to which a lady across the street interjects, "No, it was his mother's pin cushion. The Catholic guilt and all."

As others have said: Diaper Don cannot abort Couch Molester Vance. He must carry him to term.
Vance hates his mother. He's the gift that keeps on giving. I can't wait to say, "Vance who?"
I’m counting down the Scaramuccis🤣
That is my amateur psychological evaluation of wtf is wrong with JD. I think he hates his Mom
Now, now. He was in a relationship with that couch. It wasn't just a one nightstand.
😂😂😂😂, apparently he moved on to dolphins.
ISWYDT, and BWA HA HA HA HA HA!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
djt must carry jd to term even if doing so kills his chance to re-enter the WH. (Not that he, a popular-vote loser x2, has a real chance, but.)
🤣🤣🤣
This!🙌

Crusty old cumsock Carville is bloviating about the Dems being too giddy about Kamala. Thinks they might start celebrating too early and lose their momentum. A little giddiness might be appropriate to release the long pent up anxiety, James.
Jame Carville was relevant in 1992, the year he helped Bill Clinton get elected. what's he done since then?
He needs to get swept back under the bed.
Bill Clinton, not Obama—even though Bill was the “first black president” IYKYK
fuck. I hope the edit window is still open for my comment
Don't feel so bad. Dumb Antichrist just called Kamala "Nikki Haley"
Just link to mine if it isn’t—LOL! Thanks Jeff!
Let’s not forget that he is married to Mary Matalin…
GIDDINESS , sounds like a misogynistic put down.
Nah, she is just terrible, no matter the gender!
Exactly!
What a DOWNER, what's that old cumsock got against JOY ?
Not a damn thing!
Plug himself for it.
Um—try to shove Goldwater Girl Hillary Rodham Clinton down our throats TWICE, convince her that starting Birther rumors about Barack Obama was a good idea (even she realized what a hot potato that was, and chucked it to her goodbuddy Donald Trump!), and would have destroyed the Democratic Party altogether with Clinton NeoLiberalism had Bernie Sanders not challenged the DNC to Do Better, and showed people SICK of Republican Lite Democrats that there was another way...?
Someone forgot his meds today
Look it up if you don't believe me.
And nice try, calling anybody who has the good sense to LOATHE Hillary Rodham Clinton as "insane", Hilliaryinsta.
Good-bye.
I didn't use the word insane, but it's interesting that it was the first thing YOU thought of regarding yourself. Big shock also that you're a Bernie Bro. I feel sorry for your mom. Imagine getting you instead of a period.
I feel sorrier for you being taken in by a corrupt Republican with a "D" after her name like Hillary Rodham Clinton.
But enough patronizing—I'm blocking you so I don't have to listen to your pro-Hillary drivel any longer.
What on god’s green earth are you even bleating about? Everything you said is wrong.
Chill out, everybody.
Not a Goddamned thing.
Most 'pundits' I believe should only be answering the question; 'Do you want fries with that?'.
Yes, please.
Anyone who was on the "Answer the Call" last evening will tell you that giddiness was not present. There was pride, determination, and 'sisterhood' like I've never experienced before.
Everyone understands the assignment...the feeling that women are united and together we can beat these MFs!!! No one is taking anything for granted.👊💙
I understand the assignment.
"Crusty old cumsock Carville" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Won't someone please tell Carville he's relevant, so he'll STFU?
😂😂😂
Good one!
Exactly. Don’t rain on our parade, Carville. We’ve been suffering for a long time now, and we deserve this, so back off, old man.
Told you—I can't help but wonder if James Carville is actually a Republican in disguise.
He was spouting Hannity's talking points.
It's working already.
Bahahahaha
A critique some years ago offered to H. Clinton: you are talking, no one is listening. Wow. Well people are listening. Kamala connects. The Magat’s sad tropes aren’t working. Crazy Cat Lady—bring it on; sofa sex really doesn’t sell. Or Project 2025. Or mass detention and deportation as being anything other than fascist. We are tired, just tired of dystopian rhetoric. Kamala, you rock it. Prosecutor vs. Felon—I approve this ad.
Hmmph. Some of us WERE listening to Hillary, but okay. It was only 70 million or so of us, in the end.
I think the problem with Hillary (besides the Russian interference and back stabbing Comey) was that she doesn't have the charisma and coolness that Kamala has. Not her fault - you either have it or you don't. Obama had tons of it. Plus Hillary had a history with the American public as First Lady. My mom had voted Dem for the first time for Clinton in 1992, but always really disliked Hillary. Don't know why. I voted for her and would again. She would have made a good president in spite of the fact that the GOP would have tried to make us all miserable screaming about her in a daily basis. Things turn out the way they were meant to be. How many of us knew back in 2016 how nutty some Americans are and cultlike? Trump brought them all out of hiding.
They had sabotaged her so thoroughly for 30 years, it's no mystery why people "weren't listening to her" in 2016. People keep picking apart her 2016 campaign on every level, but "her opponents were cheating like hell" never seems to factor into the equation, and it should.
So true. The conservatives hate the Clintons with a passion and worked relentlessly to smear them. 'Course, Bill gave them ammunition with his hounddogging around. And Hillary with the private email server, even though others, including Javanka, did the same. I tell people, if the Clintons had really done anything provable, wouldn't the right wing like nothing more than to really "lock them up?" Unlike their own nominee, the Clintons have never been indicted.
The Fox/Russian/Rethug propaganda machine did her in also.
I believe Hillary lost the social media war to Trump,and she didn't campaign enough in battleground states and took them for granted,but really,water under the bridge.
Also James Comey re-opening the email investigation right before Election Day.
That really changed the complexion of the race. I'm not saying Comey did it for partisan reasons, but he got his "thank you" later by being fired by orange douchebag
Yes, she had a long history with the public and that factor makes you either liked or disliked. Hard to change that perception. She did though make a big mistake about the email server. When you are that controversial and there's so much at stake, why would you chance it with that server? And the excuse that everyone does it isn't an excuse. It may have cost her the election.
Hillary nailed it when she said, “I guess I could have stayed home and baked cookies.” That’s why they were pissed at her.
The younger generation weren't around to hear that comment or remember it. She just started the race with two hurdles to overcome - being a woman and the public already having an opinion about her.
I agree but everything that ole Hilary has said has been true whether you like it or not
I’m so loving all this! Kamala is already driving Trump way crazier and I am totally here for it!
A reasonable candidate would drop out now before it gets worse...HA!!HA!!HA!!HA!!HA!!HA!!HA!!
When you go nuclear, it can still be the high road. 🙂 That master level troll job was nothing but facts. No low blows, no name calling, nothing like that. And it's a carry over from Biden's trolling of Drumpf and the Republicans. This is why I'm happy that Kamala didn't clean house when she took over the campaign.
An Axios poll yesterday,(shit,I picked the wrong career,pollsters and weatherperson,be wrong most of the time,still keep your job) says 18 to 34 year olds,Harris is beating Trump 60% to 40%,you keep on saying climate change and women's rights are nonsense Trumpy-the-clown.
TRUTH!!!!
They said she was a poor campaigner because she ducked out of the race "too early" in 2020. Me, I think she saw clearly how crowded a field it was, including established progressive "icons" like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and recognized that she couldn't stand out enough to win. So she got out cleanly, before being forced to negative-campaign against anyone else in her own party. Seems like the smartest move to me.
I wanted her for prez in the first place !
I put a KAMALA sticker on my car 5 + years ago, it still looks good !
I contributed to her primary campaign. Wasn't her time in 2020.
Same here,she was my candidate.
And all the while improving her skill set 👍 Respect.
I believe she just ran out of money mostly.
Gloves off at last. About time. And Hillbilly Himmler is cutting his own throat, and Trump's.
Hillbilly Himmler is good...can I borrow it?
Please feel free to do so. It just popped into my head today as I'm reading Volker Ulrich's biography of Hitler.
Robin Pennachia on Wonkette Substack the other day had some TikTok vids of Appalachian people accusing him of not really being of their ilk, falsely portraying them as lazy, and profiting off of them. So he is not universally loved by the "hillbillies."
He started a charity for opioid victims and kept the money...sound familiar?
Shitbags of a feather grift together
That’s a keeper!
Beginning to seem that everyone hates him. Will Trump drop him?
I believe he's locked into Shillbilly because the convention is already done.
I hope not! haha
I meant, I hope he's locked onto him. Every stupid anti-woman pronouncement Vance spews is helpful to us
Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I loved all the "Obama won't endorse Kamala" headlines all over our garbage news media. Morons.
OMG, Yaaaas!
Shit writes itself. Almost. And I can’t wait until your next piece. Thanks!
It's glorious.
Me too. Well said, well written, well ... well everything!
Dump is worried about picking Jake Dickface Bowman but too late. The three day cancellation period ended.
I remember in 2016 Trump went through some buyer's remorse about Mike Pence, but I can't remember why
Shillbilly must be a little worried that the Trump campaign sent someone over to measure his neck size also.
HAHA!
😂😂😂
Only the best people doncha know
...maybe cuz Pence didn't crack a smile when McFartypants suggested they go grab some pussy together?
I believe Pence did an interview saying he should never be in a room alone with a woman who's not his wife,Trumpy probably said 'WTF Mike!!! That's when you get 'em!!'....but that's purely conjecture on my part...
I'm hanged if I can remember, either.
But it was definitely 'red'.
Wasn't it because trump found out that when Pence stood in front of a white background he disappeared?
I read about all his name changes. FFS! The dude is struggling with his identity. 🙄 (I'm confident the D stands for Dickface) 🤣🤣
James David has had more names than a serial killer.
Maybe one of them is 'Hannibal Lecter'.
A great American! 😂
Apparently he underwent conversion therapy to cure...ya know,the gay,see how that works out,he looks like Evil Spock ready for a threesome on a couch with Tucker Carlson and a green M&M.
hilarious Bruce! 3 way with 3 turds
💩💩💩
😂😂😂
It's the Pon Far.
🤣🤓🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Or douche bag
LOL!!
His real name might be 'Hannibal Lecter',and he's brought his shark/dolphin with him.
He's bloodless, vinegar & water run through his veins. 😉
LDFF shoulda kept his game show in the NYC swamp I’m thinking’
😂😂 I'm stealing that!!
The convicted felon is only going to continue spiraling down the drain bc drains. And I’ve never been more entertained by the hillbilly vp pick who keeps shooting himself in his couch cushioned dick. My god it feels wonderful to laugh again and be so motivated to fight this good fight. I can’t wait for the trickle down effect to pour water on the dumpster fire of NorCal local politics. The states Dem candidates need our strong support! Happy weekend all 😎
It's so strange in NorCal. A large percentage of the population up there is on some kind of Go'ment assistance program. Why would they want that to stop? No logic, none at all. Full disclosure: I have relatives up there and also in Idaho so I do see the crazy.
Full disclosure Arne, I’m a native Idahoan who moved here almost 4 years ago bc of grandchildren. Being blue here is twilight zone, and it had turned into that when I left Idaho. So you totally get it. Cool!
I moved from Connecticut to San Diego,don't know which is more Blue,go Huskies!!
Apparently, Boise is pretty Blue so maybe there is hope.
Yeah, I’m from Boise and it’s mostly the north end that’s heavily lib. It went to hell when the current gov was elected. But there’s always hope. Go Boise State 💙
Biden beat Trump by I believe 30% pts in 2020 in California, hoping for 40 in 2024.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE that the Obamas' endorsement came right after that stupid statement. LOLLLLLL for days
We Dems are getting much better at timing.
Exactly!
Jerkoff Dipshit Vance is at the Find Out portion of his political career and the Feline Frauleins are going to hand him his ass. The Daily Beast is coming out with a list of powerful Childless Cat Ladies today. Even conservative women are turning against them. It couldn't happen to a more deserving pair of misogynistic chauvinistic limpdicks.
Awesome!! 💯
"Couchfuck McShillbilly", LMAO, I'm in tears this morning. Thanks, Jeff, this is fun.
