Jeff, I don’t know what the hell I would do without your written support during this hellish period in American history. FUCKING FUCKERS. Thank you Jeff!
Agreed. Even my 19-year-old daughter knows when I am looking at my laptop and start laughing it is probably Jeff, and she will look up from what she is doing and say, "Tiedrich?" I will laugh and nod!
Jeff delivers the news with secret sauce. How about we all go occupy the NYT building and put out that G*d damn paper? The critical sentence is: “What has changed since Biden made that promise?”
All of the Democrats that are complaining are no better than Marge three toes. They should be gloating and ridiculing the MAGApublicans. The American media is doing a fantastic job of keeping Putin entertained, but a shit job of keeping Americans informed.
How was attacking and trashing our nation's Capital not a crime? What is wrong with Comer that he no longer lives in the real world? What can Joe do before January 20th to further fuck Trump's shit up more?
Excuse my language but I stole the words from Jeff.
It made sense that Biden pardoned his son on the way out. So many of the people who are worried about it being a stain on Biden’s character or his legacy aren’t correctly anticipating the shit storm that is coming - an all out war against the orange felon’s perceived enemies enabled by his horde of moron/monsters. After Biden is out of office will be too late to do anything to rightfully protect people from being scapegoated and wrongly punished. Even if Hunter did commit crimes and sabotaged his father the politics that have already played out have been punishment enough. In a show of good conscience and consistency Biden should free prisoners who are being wrongly held on bullshit charges (i.e. marijuana, wrongly accused, etc.)
I wish that there was a way that Joe could protect Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, the Clintons, the Obamas, and all of those on the Trump/Musk/Patel enemy list. MAGA voices have advocated the slaughter of registered Democrats. When they come for me, I will take as many of them as possible with me.
I’ve read that hateful stuff on various platform comments. There are many who do, in fact, advocate for outright murder of all Democrats. Hegseth being chief among them.
100%, he needs to get cracking. Do we have any idea what happened to Jeffrey Epstein? Murdered in custody you say? By whom? People who spent time on fantasy island? Dems who are complaining clearly have either a lack of imagination or are as stupid as maga for thinking shit does not roll downhill. Hunter Biden would have died in custody. People need to stop thinking about norms and the rule of law and wake the fuck up. The Russian mob and a band of untouchable rich people are now taking over our government and are normalizing the concept of unfettered capital punishment like this is a banana Republic. Biden needs to start pardoning now and not stop till he's out. Dems with any influence need to wise up and put their heads down and figure out how they are going to bullet proof whatever they can so it survives the next two years.
Exactly. Epstein was trained in kompramat techniques by rogue UK Intelligence. Who, in turn, quietly admired, so slavishly copied techniques deployed by Stalin’s infamous criminal Intelligence head, Beria. In many ways what has been occurring for decades and is now being increasingly exposed in the ruling classes in the US and the UK is a working out of tit for tat atrocities from the Cold War and before. For those who live within and profit from these circles of lawless Hell, however heinous, no crime or cruelty is off limits.
Is Marge mad because now she won't have an excuse to drag out the posters of Hunter's junk again? Although I'm sure they're just fine decorating her office.
He must have penile banjo elbow from all of that ongoing weasel slapping. These dipshits never stop with their daily piss poor coverage rather than reporting the insanity that's scheduled to start on 1/20. An ex coworker who's as MAGA as they get posted her usual Facebook bullshit yesterday by saying "Liar liar pants on fire". But it's OK to have a felonious traitor who lied at least 30,000 times during his first term as he pardoned some of the biggest bottom-feeding dirtbags in history. Funny when you call them out on their blatant hypocrisy, they rarely have a damn thing to say.
It's sick. The Media has absolutely contributed to the demise of democracy.
I'm thrilled Biden pardoned his son...and I hope he does the same for many in Dumps retribution plans. Do the Dreamers next, please. And John Dean? Wut? 😂
But the Elvis picture ..... Dump is insane. Bat shit crazy. I cant believe this is real life?
I agree, the media didn't do us any favors. Yet, all the information was out there for those who did even a modicum of research. January 6th was visual, no explanation needed. Trump's fecklessness was on full display during the pandemic--Ivermectin, seriously? His unhinged rants and dance moves, no secret that. Here is the hard truth we Americans betrayed ourselves.
David, I think 48.4% of the voters did not betray our country. There’s that. I hope Trump’s 49.9% and all of the no-shows live to realize what they have done. Not holding my breath, though. But our descendants will feel it.
Two Guardian headlines today: Trump allies begin attack on EPA and rules protecting US drinking water. Coca-Cola accused of quietly dropping its 25% reusable packaging target.
It’s actually less than a third. More than a third stayed home, and under a third voted for Kamala. The ones who didn’t vote are just as much to blame as those who voted for the felon.
I'm still grappling with the fact that +70M ppl voted for a guy whose fbi director candidate has an actual 'hit list' vs us citizens who simply exercised their 1A rights - and even calls it that. And ppl SEEM TO BE ok with it? wut
I noticed that ivermectin was NOT on the list of meds given the Orange Asshole when he got covid... it was just another con job, right up there with the bibles...
China manufactured bibles none the less! Fake silver coins, vodka, steaks, gold spray painted sneakers, ultra-hero trading cards, perfume along with today’s release of bitcoin certificates. The doddering career criminal dotard is a con man poco!!
Maybe he wants to show Elvis how to play his knock-off Trump Gibson guitar. It's obvious what demographic is being targeted with this ridiculous image.
I hope Joe can do something to protect all of the completely innocent people that LDFF and Kash have threatened. They can’t be stupid enough to actually believe that BS they’re spouting, can they?
Count on it Sharon! What’s all these crazy questions you’re asking me? This is the craziest party that could ever be! Don’t turn on the lights ‘cause I don’t wanna’ see!!
Dean is basically saying if Biden pardons Trump it will kill his narrative about political prosecutions. That one I'm not sure I agree with. It's an interesting idea...but he'd have to make a dog and pony show of all his presidential power and it would have to undermine Trump's message of retribution, and I'm not sure how that would work....
Sorry, but Hunter Biden was prosecuted by insane, rabid Rethuglicans who extracted ridiculous punishments. Hunter paid back the owed taxes plus penalties & interest. For any other citizen, it would have ended there. The gun, never fired & owned for only 2 weeks, would have received a slap on the wrist for anyone not named Hunter. The whole waste of taxpayer $$$ was outrageous! I would pardon anyone in the way of Krazyeyes Patel. President Biden did nothing wrong
Repugs. From now on, Repugs should be the exclusive terminology when referring to the MAGA party. And for God's sake, never, ever again should anyone use the archaic, absurd abbreviation GOP!
Donny convict is so fucking predictable. He can’t stand that the Biden administration was able to arrange a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. So now he’s issuing threats to the Palestinians, and saying the hostages had better be returned before he takes office. That way, if Joe is able broker a deal, Trump can take all the credit by saying that it was HIS threats that lead to the release of the hostages. And if it doesn’t happen, he can blame Joe for being ineffective. OH MY GAWD!!!! It’s not even January 20th and I’m already so fucking exhausted!
No kidding. If I could just be unconscious until November 2028, it would be nice. But we don't know if a Dem would win then or if we'll even be able to vote. How will we put up with this ass clown for 4 years? It's only been 4 weeks .......
yeah, I saw the NYT articles. And, I've seen some of the Dem comments. I don't bother with the MAGA stuff because, well, it's just tedious. Gotta love the "dishonor" the office. No, dear friends, instigating an assault on the Capitol is dishonor. Holding illegally sensitive information (Mar a Lago) is dishonoring the trust. Nepotism? Yep. Putting a pardoned felon in as Ambassador to France sort of gets there too. So for my self-righteous Dem friends, seriously? kudos to Joe, he got it right.
I enjoy your column every day, but thank you especially for this, which has helped diffuse my rage. My friends have been avoiding me, so maybe I'll be fit for society again now
It could be either. laura may be diffusing her rage away from herself so it seeps and spreads toward her unsuspecting friends. We’re not the grammar police here. 😉
And let me just point out, I am not trying to be the grammar police-- though I am a professional copyeditor. I did not start this, and I never suggested there was only one meaning
You're a beacon of hope, Jeff. I turned off MSM last weekend and the sky is blue again. That tweaked NYT B&W photo of the President and his son, Hunter, cemented in my mind the manipulations of the press. Clear as day. Resist.
The MAGAs, the right, the MSM media, and way too many Democrats with all this faux outrage. Bascially most people are glad he pardoned him. Many of us were encouraging it on blogs and in comments sections on podcasts. "His legacy, his legacy will be ruined." Well, they already said it was ruined because he chose to run again and drop out late. Surely "the media" understands why most of us have quit subscribing, reading and listening to them and I suggest now is another good time to do just that. Tune them out entirely. Joe's legacy will be fine. Now for the upcoming list of folks to be pardoned. I hope it includes every single Democrat-oriented target Trump has and they are from cradle to grave covering anything and everything. If Trump doesn't have to pay for his crimes, why the eff should anybody else up there in political land, remembering Hunter was a civilian ball they got to mercilessly kick around and humiliate. Who has the really ruined legacy? Not Biden on this.
There will be a new things. I’m especially thinking in regard to removing millions of citizens and the non-citizens who hold jobs here. Can you imagine them coming and breaking down your door and grabbing you and putting you in a truck on your way to a detention center where you may live for a long time. Children being separated from parents again. We need to know what’s going on, but also what we’re being told is going on.
My Christian Nationalist sister avoids all the Substack news I follow. She refuses to read it. She thinks it’s propaganda and she’s scared of it. She recently told me I’m an “intellectual” and she meant it as a put down but thought I’d probably take it as a compliment. :)
Yes, you are still included in the lists of wordsmiths that I am able to read daily.I have taken a sabbatical from a few as I just can’t some days.I hope my time away from these others will be brief.An oasis in this shitty desert that is our country right now, I take solace and lots of laughter in your posts.
Honestly, you've made a good decision. Jeff's take(s) are always worth reading, and there's very little of importance at least on our domestic political front that isn't addressed here.
Jeff I share your disgust for all these idiots who think they wouldn't do the same exact thing. And yes! Pardon them all!! Dems need to start playing for real - not this make believe above it all perfection.
I read a list yesterday of presidents who’ve pardoned relatives: Jimmy Carter’s brother, HW Bush’s son who was involved in the S&L scandal are 2 that come to mind. And did the media or the Dems in the circular firing squad even consider these presidents gave the pardons absent public screeching about persecuting Hunter.
Excellent point and reminders. I'm disgusted with the Dems today for maintaining the status quo in party leadership by the usual old mumblepegs, Schumer and Durbin. At least Jeremy Raskin is challenging Jerry Nadler.
Jeff, I don’t know what the hell I would do without your written support during this hellish period in American history. FUCKING FUCKERS. Thank you Jeff!
now I have performance anxiety
You consistently outperform yourself. Don’t worry.
We’ll get over it, we need you😂👍♥️🎄
I won't ever get over it, but I WILL get through it with Jeff's help.
It was f’ing spellcheck-it was supposed to be WELL. 😞
Happens to me all the time .
Me too😂🙄
Mavis, not to worry. It didn’t quite make sense with we’ll. We all survive spellcheck. Can’t wait for the real AI to take over the grammar algorithm.
Well, it was funnier the first time 😂
WELL
I have shame that I rely on you for the news because I can’t tolerate watching or reading it.
Not shame, PRIDE. Jeff is one of the few who reports the news with an appropriate attitude.
Agreed. Even my 19-year-old daughter knows when I am looking at my laptop and start laughing it is probably Jeff, and she will look up from what she is doing and say, "Tiedrich?" I will laugh and nod!
Karla, pls let go of shame. It's self-care, staying as mentally healthy as we can.👬👬👬
WELL, not well! Damn spellcheck
Auto MIScorrect!
I love this : Fuckoffistan
I hope I spelled it correctly.
Thank you Jeff for putting these fuckers of the highest order in their proper place.
Actually I like the PennyWise the clown in the sewer joined by all of these fucknuts!
Bahahahahahaha
I promise another episode of Golf with MAGAS, very spicy, tomorrow my friends.. so much news from the MAGA silo I never knew.
I can't wait, Fastball Fredo!!!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
WTF is the complete bullshit about including Drumph in the list of pardons??!! Just NO
Jeff delivers the news with secret sauce. How about we all go occupy the NYT building and put out that G*d damn paper? The critical sentence is: “What has changed since Biden made that promise?”
Let’s use the acronym NYFT for that formerly respectable rag. I’ll also accept FNYFT.
The NYET, cause I swear a Russian oligarch is calling the shots!
I second this, especially if we go with FNYFT. Or even FNFYFT-fuck-them-all-esp-fucking-Sulzberger.
FNYT
Fuck the New York Times.
PS. whatever time was left on my WaPo sub ran out today. I've been inundated with offers to resubscribe.
Cry more, Bezos.
Wasn't he also in the running for a second term at that time? So, yup things change.
My 1st thought was, "The media has brains?" Not that I am aware of.
Should of been alleged
Except for these posts that I super depend on
Exactly Kathleen!!
Ditto!!
Was about to write the same thing!

There is a way he can totally mess with Trump. Resign and make Harris president for the last month
I’ve read that hateful stuff on various platform comments. There are many who do, in fact, advocate for outright murder of all Democrats. Hegseth being chief among them.
Best add Trae Crowder to the "pardon" list....

Bill Barr only took the AG position to get the kompromat Epstein had on his dad.
Interesting...I hadn't seen that. Uugh. It's all like one weird orgy of shit.
Exactly. Epstein was trained in kompramat techniques by rogue UK Intelligence. Who, in turn, quietly admired, so slavishly copied techniques deployed by Stalin’s infamous criminal Intelligence head, Beria.

Thank you for that link--Biden's move makes even more sense now than previously and it made plenty of sense then.
Someone noted that they are the same Ds that pressured Joe to step down from running... interesting
Money does strange things to people. I vote for fun so that is what my money goes for.
Pardon everyone that would piss tRumpy off to no end.
Joe should issue pardons for everyone on rumps hit list. EVERY one. Rump pardoned 144 during his tenure. Let’s break the record !
1. I wonder which will win the most coverage contest: Hunter’s penis or his pardon. 🤔
2. Toobin’s beat the meat too much if he thinks Biden dishonors the office. I think Orange Fuckwit gets that (dis)honor.
Is Marge mad because now she won't have an excuse to drag out the posters of Hunter's junk again? Although I'm sure they're just fine decorating her office.

Sounds like you need to tighten up your FB security settings.
I told her today I wouldn't post on her page anymore. It's not worth the time or effort to argue with them.

Elvis is alive!!
Well that's not good.
That is my daily prayer, Mr. Smith (a myocardial infarction or a CVA; I'm not picky, just as long as he checks out).

Perhaps if Americans hadn't been fed a daily diet of convincing propaganda for decades, we might be a more thinking bunch. How far we have fallen.
Also the dumbing down of K-12 education.
Pretty far, perhaps too far.

Carol C; The biggest group in the election were the folks that didn’t vote. About 85 million people.
Half the country is toxically poisoned with ignorance is the way I see it David!!

Thanks. This is one of the worst earworms in existence lol.
That’s a long way from my Shocking Blue “Venus” line I was tapping while typing my comment to Susan FT&FP!!
Bananarama sans the Fun Boy Three did the cover “Venus” that I covered years ago Susan, you likely remember both versions of tune!!
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy…
Maybe he wants to show Elvis how to play his knock-off Trump Gibson guitar. It's obvious what demographic is being targeted with this ridiculous image.
I’m not sure he could even name an Elvis tune, even though Genovese mobster Tony (fat) Salerno gave him the nickname “Little Elvis Sharon!
Elvis couldn't play either, in his movies the strings were painted on!
I hope Joe can do something to protect all of the completely innocent people that LDFF and Kash have threatened. They can’t be stupid enough to actually believe that BS they’re spouting, can they?
Count on it Sharon! What’s all these crazy questions you’re asking me? This is the craziest party that could ever be! Don’t turn on the lights ‘cause I don’t wanna’ see!!
So Donny Dumbass brought Elvis back from the dead so they could be in a photo together?
I’d highly recommend a couple of Xanax daily until this insane fuckery is over Susan!!
I’d recommend 1 mg. qid. 2 q hs. If you have problems sleeping !
A young Elvis from when he was like 20! And dumpsterfire is close to the age he is now, someone doesn't do math very well!

I do not care what the twisted logic is, I do NOT want trump pardoned no matter what the reason.
Sorry, but Hunter Biden was prosecuted by insane, rabid Rethuglicans who extracted ridiculous punishments. Hunter paid back the owed taxes plus penalties & interest.

Agreed. That guy is fucking nuts.
👆👆👆👆👆👆👆🎯
My sentiments exactly. I called the WH numerous times & left that message for Biden, pardon Hunter, & stop sending weapons to Netanyahu
Donny convict is so fucking predictable. He can’t stand that the Biden administration was able to arrange a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. So now he’s issuing threats to the Palestinians, and saying the hostages had better be returned before he takes office. That way, if Joe is able broker a deal, Trump can take all the credit by saying that it was HIS threats that lead to the release of the hostages. And if it doesn’t happen, he can blame Joe for being ineffective. OH MY GAWD!!!! It’s not even January 20th and I’m already so fucking exhausted!
Short of nukes, I don't know what Trump could do to Gaza that the IDF hasn't already done over the past year.
Since Gaza is the size of Philadelphia, a nuke would damage Israel too. That’s not an option.
No kidding. If I could just be unconscious until November 2028, it would be nice. But we don't know if a Dem would win then or if we'll even be able to vote. How will we put up with this ass clown for 4 years? It's only been 4 weeks .......
I know. I want to fast forward to November, 2028, but at 65 years old, I feel like I’m wishing my life away.
Agree they are already totally insufferable.
Just like Reagan, and Nixon, making deals behind the actual presidents back is standard republican cheating.
Blanket Pardons!! Yes! I worry about Jack Smith&the Clintons, Biden the most but everyone on the list.
You’re correct, perhaps not Bill Barr.
Fuck Bill Barr.
Don’t forget the Obamas as well. Drumph has a sincere hard on for President Obama for the drubbing he gave Dump at the Press Corp dinner.
Of course Trump hates the Obamas, but the Obamas are under no illusion that things will be ok.
+President Obama was so careful.
And so much smarter...
The corporate media can’t die soon enough!
I am certainly NOT giving them any oxygen.
Corporate media will die too. They just don't know it yet. 1984.
Melon Husk is threatening to buy MSNBC and use as his TV trophy Twitter.
He will turn it into a cesspool like he did with Twitter.
OBEY
Hopefully since his little Tesla windfall was rejected he's reluctant to make any big purchases lately
The corporations that own the media will soon find themselves doling out “State” news!
Exactly…just like Putin ordered them to do!
yeah, I saw the NYT articles. And, I've seen some of the Dem comments. I don't bother with the MAGA stuff because, well, it's just tedious. Gotta love the "dishonor" the office.

Putting a pardoned felon in as Ambassador to France sort of gets there too. So for my self-righteous Dem friends, seriously? kudos to Joe, he got it right.
I like to think of it as Dark Brandon's big middle finger to the world.
And please Dear Joe keep it going!
I enjoy your column every day, but thank you especially for this, which has helped diffuse my rage. My friends have been avoiding me, so maybe I'll be fit for society again now
Defuse not diffuse, which would be spreading your rage.
Diffuse also means not concentrated... Spreading it out weakens it; that's the sense o meant
My rage is definitely not defused! 🙂
It could be either. laura may be diffusing her rage away from herself so it seeps and spreads toward her unsuspecting friends. We’re not the grammar police here. 😉
Yes, of course. It could be literal or metaphorical. Most words have more than one meaning
And let me just point out, I am not trying to be the grammar police-- though I am a professional copyeditor. I did not start this, and I never suggested there was only one meaning
You're a beacon of hope, Jeff. I turned off MSM last weekend and the sky is blue again. That tweaked NYT B&W photo of the President and his son, Hunter, cemented in my mind the manipulations of the press. Clear as day. Resist.
I only look at Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC. He calls out BigMouthSmallDick every chance he gets.
A 'Like' just for the nickname.
❤️ him he's one of the few that doesn't mince words.
So that’s BMSD? I can roll with that.
Outta words. Don’t know how you managed.
I have all the best words. I stole them from Donny
...words fail me. ... My favorite today, although great post, thank you again for summing up the shit storm of news.
😂😂😂
This was SPOT ON Jeff! Thank you and fuck off media jerks. Oh…is it too early for a glass of wine to calm down??!! lol
@Tess not too early have a mimosa 😂😂
I baked pumpkin/cranberry bread instead…but mimosa….hmmmmmm🤔🤔
it's wine time somewhere...I was thinking about an Irish coffee

Joe’s legacy may not be fine —depends on who writes the history.
Yeah. Dumpy may write about it in black Sharpie scrawls.
If we tune out the media, how will we know what the other side is being told?
We follow Jeff and The Meidas Touch Network. If you add Jay Kuo and a couple of other Substacks you get the truth.
JEFF will keep us updated !
There will be a new things. I’m especially thinking in regard to removing millions of citizens and the non-citizens who hold jobs here. Can you imagine them coming and breaking down your door and grabbing you and putting you in a truck on your way to a detention center where you may live for a long time. Children being separated from parents again. We need to know what’s going on, but also what we’re being told is going on.
You can still find out without giving time and money to corporate media. Substack is a good example. Hopefully your local news outlets.
They are all owned by Sinclair & given certain required lines to read regarding national politics
Yeah, we have one Sinclair outlet. Never watch it.
My Christian Nationalist sister avoids all the Substack news I follow. She refuses to read it. She thinks it’s propaganda and she’s scared of it. She recently told me I’m an “intellectual” and she meant it as a put down but thought I’d probably take it as a compliment. :)

I agree 💯 Joe's legacy is cemented in reality and service to our country. That will NEVER BE ERASED!
Yes, you are still included in the lists of wordsmiths that I am able to read daily.I have taken a sabbatical from a few as I just can’t some days.I hope my time away from these others will be brief.An oasis in this shitty desert that is our country right now, I take solace and lots of laughter in your posts.
Honestly, you've made a good decision. Jeff's take(s) are always worth reading, and there's very little of importance at least on our domestic political front that isn't addressed here.
Jeff I share your disgust for all these idiots who think they wouldn't do the same exact thing. And yes! Pardon them all!! Dems need to start playing for real - not this make believe above it all perfection.
I read a list yesterday of presidents who’ve pardoned relatives: Jimmy Carter’s brother, HW Bush’s son who was involved in the S&L scandal are 2 that come to mind. And did the media or the Dems in the circular firing squad even consider these presidents gave the pardons absent public screeching about persecuting Hunter.
Excellent point and reminders. I'm disgusted with the Dems today for maintaining the status quo in party leadership by the usual old mumblepegs, Schumer and Durbin. At least Jeremy Raskin is challenging Jerry Nadler.
You mean Jamie Raskin?
