Well, I don't like to say it - but the Lillet is a teeny, tiny tampon that slips in quick. A tampax is a big bulky thing that you need a special tube to insert. . .don't know whether that says more about the King or Camilla. . .
Just pump that drink straight into me veins please.. I just cannot even fathom the narcissism of the Orange Shitstain and that other white pasty Fvck MuskRat Brain.. oh and the American people will be paying all those souls sent to Guantanamo in more taxes.. they’re not doing it for free people..
Stupidly decided to deglaze the liver this month, since we washed up on Dry January, and plus February has three less days. How was I to know the shite would be flying this thick and fast??
Not voting for Kamala because you thought she wasn't pro-Gaza enough is like saying, "Hmm, that salad looks a bit wilted. Give me a 5-gallon bucket of dog shit instead."
Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala! I just couldn’t vote for them, I just couldn’t! Anyway, I hope my personal punishment of them has taught the Democratic Party an important lesson!
Never knew about Poe’s law! Thx. Richard needs to learn /s Or is it \s ?? Lol I’m afraid to be sarcastic online BECAUSE of Poe’s law!!! So I guess I knew about it, just not its formal name. I’ll shut up now. Love both you and Ms Spouse, Jeff. You keep us sane.
As an apology for jackassery, I submit this clip from Allegro Non Troppo (1977) set to Dvorak's Slavic Dance #7. Perhaps it will remind you of a politician or two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y87nLlz3iDQ
Thank You for that link--I 've always loved Dvorak and the cartoon is very cute. Hopefully, we can (eventually) flash our collective moons* at Trump and Smuk, and say Hah!
Naw, we know Richard is merely fucking with us… although Biden and Harris policy towards Israel, and the genocide that happened under their watch, was completely misguided!
See posted link below Karen. Greg Palast wrote about voter suppression a couple weeks ago that explains the how and why of the election. He’s on Substack, Thom Hartman also published his findings, posted below.
During the last week or two of the campaign, Trump told rally-goers, "You don't even need to vote; I already have all the votes I need." There is def more to this story
Voter suppression caused her to lose. If I knew how to do it, I would share a conversation between Thom Hartmann and Greg Palast that I saw on BlueSky. It is quite enlightening. If you’re on BlueSky, it’s on my timeline.
I read that excellent article, too. It was both enlightening and rage-engendering. It's unbelievably infuriating that the Repubbies are able to push voter suppression moves througha legislature in that fashion--but it does emphasize that the R's are still afraid of a level playing field when voting time rolls around.
The Dem leadership needs to read the Greg Palast article & PLAN to fight to overcome it; file lawsuits, do everything, tell voters about the “Poison Postcards.”
I would have thought after posting the Palast piece when it was released on his web site…right here! Would have been enough for anyone interested to peruse. Then Palast came to Substack and began posting his investigation, Thom did as well, hmm!
It’s certainly telling how MSM is serving its corporate overlords Sharon, there’s still people who don’t know the difference between truth, fantasy and propaganda!!
Obviously it is. Everything done by Biden , whether positive or negative, was wrong and will be “corrected “ by the “ real estate genius “ at the behest of his owner. It’s the trusk administration now.
But trump is a saint, huh? You and people like you support a man who is trying his best to be a dictator over us. I'm sorry you're either blind, in the cult of MAGA or stupid. You wouldn't know a good person if you saw one. You like a man who is doing nothing for us, but plenty for himself. He cozies up to other dictators and alienates our allies. Worst president, but even more, worst man I've ever seen or heard.
Take a step back, BC. This whole string is sarcasm at its finest. Your clue was the bit about punishing Dems. Don't lose your sense of humor in all this; it may be the only shield any of us has against the insanity.
Oh! Oh! Oh! - One of the saddest things about this whole debacle is that so MANY people seem to post incredibly ignorant things, our sarcasm detectors don't need "recalibrating" - they need life support. Seems to me the whole "/s" thing started at the beginning of the trump regime. Satire isn't dead - but it sure takes a good thrashing sometimes. . .
Since I’ve seen your comments on here numerous times, I know you are one of us, and I got the sarcasm immediately. There should be some way to explain that it’s sarcasm without actually saying it.
Having a mobbed up career criminal as the leader of the (not so) free world, was certain to be a disaster, only a small fraction of imbecilic wastrels would think otherwise BC
Why the Democratic Party? It is the Republicans voting for Trump and Congress that has us in this mess. Republicans knew what Trump would do to DEMOCRACY. They voted ion November and the SENATE votes for every LOSER Trump wants in his Cabinet.
Go back to McConnell and the two impeachments he bamboozled the Republicans into dismissing. Now the fear of being 'primaried' is foremost to keep them all in line because Lone Muskrat has the $$$ to fund any primary challenge he wants, whether it be Dem or Rethug.
She was simply out-monied and propagandized against. Still we need a real leader for Democrats and she is a great communicator. Here is a letter I sent her this morning. If you agree with me, please write to her and Dems who can communicate and relate to people:
Dear Madam VP (former) - I am writing as a former and current supporter. We are in the worst crisis our Nation has faced since the Civil War and our Democratic leaders are floundering in the face of the daily hurricane blast of nonsense and criminality from the Oval Office. Could you please find the strength to come out of retirement and help organize a shadow government using our best communicators. We need an organized and strong message to counter the Orange Dictator. We need people like Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and a dozen other people organized to get out there and bring our message to people. We need a highly competent modern communication genius to get the message placed and pounded in, daily. I feel like Princess Leia pleading with Obiwan Kemobi, but this seems to be an all hands on deck moment. Think it over, please.
Amy Klobuchar? She is voting with the Republicans to put Trump's yahoos in charge of the government. Try Mazie Hirono and Tammy Duckworth. They do not "go along to get along"!
I would like to thank all of the pro Palestinian protesters who while Biden was trying to keep a lid on things called him genocide Joe and the like. I was at a fund raiser where the debris from that group infiltrated and seriously tried to disrupt the program. They wanted a change in mid eastern policy, and they got it. From unnecessary killings before to calculated extermination of a people and its culture now. It was so clear what would happen, that a mule could have seen it coming. They damaged Biden’s campaign and later the campaign of Harris. I have never seen a dumber group less aware of the ramifications of their actions.
Now, if they protest, they can expect to be arrested, shot or deported to Guantanamo. So, reap what you sow.
Elon has added the Executive Branch to his asset portfolio. He paid $290 million for it. With Donald's help he has control of the Legislative Branch as well. Regardless of the Constitution or federal laws he will do whatever he wants and thumb his nose at anyone who tries to stop him. "I bought this. It's mine!"
Heather reported last night that Elon's tech kids are installing an AI program into the Treasury payments system. What could go wrong with that? AI is perfect, right?
Like he did after his takeover of Twitter, it's wrecking ball time. Fire the competent independent employees. Offer buyouts to everyone and whoever raises their hand just outed themselves as disloyal. Then back stab them and retract the deal.
Donald and Congress have laid down at the feet of the all powerful Elon. Which human or committee in the Judicial Branch has the power to stop Elon and his team from fucking up the government and committing crimes? The rules, the laws, the Constitution, do not apply to Elon. Like Russia, there are some people in America who are above the law.
Look at this from Elon's point of view. There was this inefficient democracy where the people rule themselves and it was a mess.
"Since I'm the Smartest Big Swinging Dick Master of the Universe, I'll just step in here and make the changes I decide. Why ask the lower rank nobles for their input? Who needs a board of directors or a Congress? I sure don't. So I'll go in here and scramble up the system and see how it settles out. Harm to people? No worries. They will survive. Kill people? Collateral damage for the greater good."
Elon doesn't read history, apparently. Other maniacs/kings/dictators who have gone against the will of the people eventually pay for their crimes. See King Charles I for example.
The judge who enjoined further funding freezes should summons Elon to a show-cause hearing (that's "show cause why you should not be held in contempt of court") and if Elon doesn't show, send marshalls heavily armed enough to engage with Elon's security detail (if Elon is killed resisting arrest, nothing of value will be lost).
This would require more guts than I realistically expect to see.
Jeff, your title today: "Just a couple of Dudes Planning War Crimes, As One Does" -- should have an asterisk *Detonation of Unexploded Bombs May Occur During Talks, Killing and Maiming Others"
The orange shit stain plans for us to pay for the cleanup of unexploded ordinance to prep the site for Jared to start building resorts for the ‘World people’. Trump will profit, US troops will die and be maimed for life, Palestinians will be ethnically cleansed to make way for this Faustian deal.
Not one RepubliCON will stand against this nonsense?!?
What I’ve been asking myself for the last many hours is where the fuck are all those college students who were screaming about Gaza before the election and yelling at Joe and Kamala about it? Why the fuck aren’t they in the streets? Those little shits that didn’t turn out to vote after all are suddenly quiet and studious?
And with Sen. Fetterman's blessing. WTF happened to this guy? Has he always been a Dump supporting dickhead in a hoodie or did he get one of those suitcases full of cash for agreeing to be supportive of dear leader's barbaric plans? It doesn't seem to matter anymore whether it's a clear violation of the Geneva Convention, Emoluments Clause or the Constitution, the GOP along with help from sellouts like Sen. Fetterman will continue support the evil plans of his assholiness.
A-fib, stroke, hospitalization for depression. Everyone gave him the benefit of the doubt (we ARE Democrats, after all). Damn shame, damn shame. Should have cut him lose back in 2023.
If anyone thinks the Hamas and their friends will let that piece of land see a day of peace they are wrong. Arabs of different stripes could be new bedfellows and it will be a guerrilla style war you are talking another Afghanistan, unnecessary totally.
Douglas, will maga wake up when maga sons and daughters body bags arrive from Gaza? Bodies in 500 small pieces from detonations? Just to enrich Jared and Turd?
Exactly. Fetterman is not dancing with them what brung him, for sure. When he comes up for re-election, I hope he is primaried from the Left and goes down in flames.
Trump said that "world's people" will come to his Riviera on the Mediterranean. Yep, all the people of the world who can afford five-star hotels. And that's after he got rid of the 1.8 million who can't afford these hotels. After all, they're used to living in tents!
Where will wait staff, hotel maids, desk clerks, etc live? Nothing left of Gaza but rubble. If it's housing for resort staff, or a bigger golf course... Gee, I wonder what Jared will choose?
They will hire cheap labor from Asia and keep them in dormitories. Very often maids live in the basements of hotels. With rare exceptions, these people are never allowed to become permanent residents.
Well, thanks for this one. I’m so pissed off right now, I’ll need a DEFIBRILLATOR after my session in the gym. Of course they aren't talking about the crimes being committed every minute at the treasury.
To think I ever thought Fetterman was a good guy.
And Nancy Mace is a C. I hate that word, but she fits the description. 🙄
I'm completely disgusted with Democrats. Democracy is burning. They are holding the fire hose and won't turn on the water. They're more interested in protecting their stock portfolios. Thom Hartmann wrote the perfect piece on who Democrats really represent. Robert Reich spoke to a number of Democrats who really don't give a shit. This tech-coup has shined a light on their hypocrisy. They're all Fettermans. The Progressives are the only smart ones in the bunch. And they do everything they can to shut them up. We need a new party. The Progressive People's Party. Why haven't they tried to overturn Citizens United? Because they benefit from it. The neoliberal Democrats have told us to fuck off. They're all in bed together. I'm done. They can take their lies, wrap them up real tight and pound them up their ass with a rubber hammer. Fuck them all to hell.
┗(•ˇ_ˇ•)―→ I am SO WITH YOU on this sentiment, Lisa! All most of them know how to do is fucking dial for dollars! I am hit up for donations four and five times a day even now after the fucking election! And the first fucking text out of Adam Schiff after the inauguration sent me Flying around my apartment like an angry popped balloon. I couldn’t believe what he wrote on the socials about working together with the fucking Republicans and congratulating the demon spawn of Satan. What in the actual fuck? We in California elected this douche bag instead of Katie Porter?
I have HAD it! Give us a party filled with AOC, Jasmine, Crockett, Jamie Raskin, Liz Warren, and Chris Murphy (now finding his anger). I'm missing a few, I know, but the rest can go fuck off all the way to Fetterman's hoodie and bury themselves in it.
Thank you, Jeff for the brilliant wordplay, 𝔽𝕦𝕔𝕜 𝕠𝕗𝕗 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕒𝕪 𝕥𝕠 𝕗𝕦𝕔𝕜𝕠𝕗𝕗𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟, I like to repeat multiple times a day like Arya Stark reciting those that have betrayed her and her family.
I'm glad, I'm not alone. Thank you. I think about how my family members got their heads cracked open so people could have a 40 hr work week, a living wage and a fucking coffee break, everyone enjoys.
The energy and money we put into these elections, just for them to say, let's wait and see and fuck you. And asking for money right now!! Before I block them, I let them know they're fucking grifting cowards and piss off. I'm done with them. I can really appreciate why people choose not to vote at all. My daughter's group didn't like Biden or Shitpants.
They sell us out. Clinton sold us out repeatedly. We should have Universal Healthcare, not privatized Obamacare. They allowed our voting rights to become a privilege, not a guaranteed right. They are performance circus carnies. With the limited exceptions, as you pointed out. I'm done. I will never give them a dollar or 10 seconds of my time again. They're going to watch it burn. So be it. I know who the Republicans are. They don't hide it. And neoliberal Democrats are their first cousins.
Schiff has always been a limp noodle, Luke warm in his opposition. I was so disappointed when Katie Porter didn’t win the primary. Due to some chicanery by the Schiff campaign.
I have to wonder WHO he really was. HOW can a person change that drastically? When he was treated for depression, did someone switch out his meds when he was discharged? Did he have too much ECT?
Amy Klobuchar wants to reach across the aisle and hug it out. Right after the election, she was working on legislation to make the eagle the national bird. Cognitive dissonance is in the water.
Fetterman WAS a good guy. That's what is so disheartening. I lived on the east side of Pittsburgh while he was mayor of Braddock, a town going through terrible times, and he was awesome.
Fascism! Now with colonial imperialism! It seem to me I've seen this movie before, and it never ends well for the colonizer. While trump spouted his Bullshit; Netanyahu sat there grinning like the cat that ate the canary.
What I found so utterly disgusting was how the demon spawn of Satan was going on about how destroyed Gaza is and how terrible it is there and it’s leveled and there’s nothing left. What in the actual fuck with the guy who perpetrated these heinous crimes the entire time standing right next to you? Netanyahu is a fucking 𝕎𝕒𝕣 ℂ𝕣𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕝.
The word genocide has not been used, but I have been saying this is the USs Nazi moment, made very clear by our acting president Elon Musk.
This morning Heather Cox Richardson said that Trump is doddering and many not have a clear idea of what Musk is up to as he is given Executive Orders to sign. I say, Impeach and Imprison Trump. Put him in El Salvador so he can try out the space he wants to put immigrants and US citizens in. I also say, Deport Musk, and send him to El Salvador or back to South Africa.
In fact, given that South Africa has a war crime claim against Netanyahu, I wonder what crimes can they charge Musk with after he doomed millions of children in Africa to die by withdrawing USAID!
I totally agree. I wrote last night that T looked ill, tired, his eyes were manic. Time for impeachment. I wonder if that would free some of the cowardly Republicans ?
Nothing is impossible. When I was a child it was understood a Black man could not be president. Then we had Barack Obama. So, now nothing is out of reach.
Exactly. There will be no women in power in the US at all if we do not stop this craziness. Jay Kuo talks about the lawsuit against Musk that he thinks has the nest chance right now.
And we should be calling particularly Republicans in Congress, and letting them know that you are angry and upset about the illegal behavior of Musk and his minions, and to block Russell Vought.
Also, here is an impeach Trump petition. Sign and share it please.
Apologies Doc....but far from obstructing, EVERY cabinet nominee is being approved AND even getting some Dem votes. Americans don't take Dems serious anymore. Sad
It has been said that Gaza might be Trump gaslighting Denmark about Greenland. The EU is getting ready to go into Greenland and "defend" it. So, in case the EU forgot about the might of the US military, why not intimidate them and Panama so that they can see what they might be in for. Trump is big on gaslighting. Well, the Ayatollah already has a 1 mil price on Trump's head, what do you think it will be now?
Also, why does Jared Kushner have a Hitler haircut? All he needs is the right mustache and salute and you won't be able to tell them apart. He can imitate his hero Musk!
I imagine others might want to add Elon to it. I presume the Ayatollah might feel that way about Jared Kirshner too. He is the one who told his father in law to develop Gaza as real estate.
Only their algorithms -- remember, they've decimated the FBI and given buyout offers to CIA employees. Actual terrorists know this. And when Shiites and Sunis line up against the U.S. and fuckhole Israel ("the enemy of my enemy is my friend"), Trump's resort plans for Gaza will literally go up in smoke.
But, he has the instincts for it. I cannot even imagine how sick his childhood might have been to create a person with such a knack for subterfuge!
And, all the MAGAs are defending him because they bought into the Musk and Trump lines that it might hurt at first, like destroying our government to line Musk's pockets even more isn't a full measure of maniacal insanity.
This is what Goebbels used to tell the Germans as they got them into a war that Hitler promised he would not, all the while knowing that he was planning to.
Two years ago when I said Trump reminds me of Hitler, someone whose parents had immigrated from Germany like my mom did chided me on trivializing the experiences of the Holocaust. Mark my words, what Trump has planned for non-White, non-Asian immigrants and citizens of the US is going to look a lot like that. Let El Salvadorian prisons do the killing is what he is doing. It is said that people that go into the El Salvadorian prisons don't come out. So, what is the misdirection from?
Also, I would like to deport Musk back to South Africa.
Today we were discussing how Gaza might just be Trump gaslighting Europe over Greenland, and Panama, by making them think that Trump will go to war on people. However, if it is just that then it is to distract from the Treasury dept. But while people are freaking out about Musk and his minions and Gaza, they are preparing to dismantle the Dept of Education. So, you cannot fully take your eye off the ball, but I had a friend who was focusing on the tariffs. I said do not focus on tariffs, focus on big picture actions.
Trump is the distraction. Musk is the destruction.
And boy howdy, are they good at it.
Ifvthis crackpot scheme goes forward, can you imagine the infiltration of the construction crews by Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Talisman. The "Riviera" could be pre-wired for bombs, they can dig new tunnels. And with this "everybody out" shit? It's practically a terrorist job fair; no telling how many they could recruit.8
this is exactly correct. As Meiselis says, WMD. Weapons of Mass Distraction as he loots the treasury and changes out the whole government with his acolytes
I’ve been in this camp since witnessing what happened with twitter Susan, what we are seeing in front of our noses, is the misdirection, to what’s going on behind the curtain!!
PLEASE call your senators and tell them to stop confirming anyone for this corrupt administration. We need to take a page outta Moscow Mitch's playbook and stop everything in the senate. NO business a usual. Block, obstruct and get loud about the coup happening right in front of us!
I was appalled to find out how many Dems just voted on a Trump nominee, Doug Collins for Sec’y of veterans Affairs. 22 of them including mine in Arizona. What the hell?
Yup. Donated to his campaign multiples times because of what he supposedly stood for even though I am in FL. Maybe campaign donations to a candidate who provably flips 180 degrees on their campaign promises should be refundable? Then I suppose Maggats might definitely want refunds for egg prices.
Arrest musk, trump, and all of the coup criminals, NOW. Is it a coup? If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck......OUR police and military need to counteract this coup, NOW. Illegal activity gives them the authority, IMHO.
I have been wondering about our military folks - I know General Milley is no longer “around,” but are there others like him who would rather be pro-USA than being pro-trump? Ya’ know, pro Constitution rather than pro-coup?
Congress is helpless, justice department and FBI are in the midst of chaos and crisis… the only solution is the D. C. Police, that’s unlikely Gary. This coup was a much more complex planned attack on democracy, with a mass of complicit players involved. What will remain of this republic will be determined by our actions and those of our courts!
With all due respect, we really don't know what the 'only solution' is, as these are extraordinary times. Imagine the tens of thousands of people working in our intelligence agencies who have spent their careers (some of them risking their lives) as patriots, supporters of the constitution, and defenders against nations that would love to weaken the United States. Many of them won't go quietly. I have no idea what they can do, or if they can do it, but I guarantee that many of them are on it, and have been on it throughout their careers. This is why Trump is moving so quickly.
Correct. Who has authority over the military? Commander-in-Chief...? Congress? (Oh, Holy Mike Johnson...?) They'd probably call out the National Guard to combat the DC Police. Who would command the DC Police, for that matter? What would actually hurt them? Pulling $$$ out of the stock market in mass.
Too bad Conor Lamb didn't have the recognition and catch the voters' attention like the hulking Fetterman did. Lamb is a Marine Corp veteran, former Assistant US Attorney, a great candidate. And I'm sure he wouldn't be a turncoat like you know who.
Emperor Dumbass thinks cleaning up Gaza will get him a Nobel Prize. It's more likely to get him an arrest warrant from the ICC, not that he cares. But seriously, 10 days into the job and Rubio has turned himself into a laughing stock. Not one serious world leader will deal with him because they know he is nothing more than the Emperor's sock puppet. These assholes have burned America's place in the world to the ground in less than a month.
he's not? Latino, but of the top-layer Euro Cubans, I thought - huh, Nazis used to check birth certificates; we're advanced and will test with DNA..........
but at least we denied the presidency to the woman who couldn't solve a thousand-year-old conflict during the 107 days she was a candidate, am I right
Not only that, she was a failure at the border czar job that she never had. /s
I fucking hate this country and an increasing number of it's people.
Going to need a bigger martini glass, I'm sure of that.
Just have two IVs - - gin in one and vermouth in the other
I’d prefer a Vesper, thank you. 1 part gin, 1 part vodka and a little blonde Lillet. Lemon twist, too.
I don't know about in the US - but in the UK, a "Lillet" is a tampon. Not sure I'd want it in a Vesper. . .
It’s a French aperitif. If it’s a tampon in the UK, why did Charles tell Camilla he wished he could be a Tampax?
Well, I don't like to say it - but the Lillet is a teeny, tiny tampon that slips in quick. A tampax is a big bulky thing that you need a special tube to insert. . .don't know whether that says more about the King or Camilla. . .
😁😁😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣! Thanks for the correction! 😁😁😁
LAdy, 💖 for the laugh in this freaking nightmare.
😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂
Still laughing. Thanks.
🤣
Lillet = booze
Lil-let = tampon
It's a French aperitif here. Like Dubonnet
Ah, I love it when you guys make me laugh. I need it so much these days.
Hahahahahaha!! That’s funny!
Dirty martini for me
I'll take a good single malt whiskey, neat. Just give me the whole bottle and a straw.
😂😂😂
I really need that laughing face emoji, but don't have it on my laptop.
Two 🫒 🫒
Me too.
Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale. Had to check it out
Shockingly great choice!
Apparently we’re a drinking
club. Cheers to all!
Brandy for me, please. And top up the glass just like Cpl. Nobby Nobbs prefers.
Ohhh…sounds delicious!
French 75 for me. And oldie, but goodie.
Like me. Well, the old part.
Lillet is lovely on its own too. My friend serves it with an orange slice.
Omit the vodka and you have my interest.
Just pump that drink straight into me veins please.. I just cannot even fathom the narcissism of the Orange Shitstain and that other white pasty Fvck MuskRat Brain.. oh and the American people will be paying all those souls sent to Guantanamo in more taxes.. they’re not doing it for free people..
Stupidly decided to deglaze the liver this month, since we washed up on Dry January, and plus February has three less days. How was I to know the shite would be flying this thick and fast??
I need triples 😡
I really wish I could pick up and leave this country!! FUCK TRUMP AND ELON THE FREAKY LOOKING ASSHOLE 🤬
Doreen, Musk is so fucking ugly, in spirit and body.
He is disgusting 🤮
I wish the same for myself but it’s impossible.
Ditto Lucius, putting these two career criminals together in a room, this is the grift that comes out of it!!
The grift that keeps on grifting.
I hate this country, too....passionately
I don't hate this country, but I do really despise an increasing number of it's people, many of whom are in DC.
Not voting for Kamala because you thought she wasn't pro-Gaza enough is like saying, "Hmm, that salad looks a bit wilted. Give me a 5-gallon bucket of dog shit instead."
Coffee snort!
Probably not a good idea to read the comments while eating or drinking...
I DO know better! Caught me off guard!
😎
Or a 5 gallon bucket of potato salad that's been sitting in the sun all day.
No, a 5-gallon bucket of spoiled potato salad would be Chuck Schumer
Hey-O!
🤮
100%
You really are rather partial to buckets of dog shit, I see.
Makes for good analogies
Hilarious!!!!!!
Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala! I just couldn’t vote for them, I just couldn’t! Anyway, I hope my personal punishment of them has taught the Democratic Party an important lesson!
dude, I know you're being sarcastic, but get ready for people to be yelling at you all day for your comment
Oh, I asked for it. Act like a jackass, get the stick as the jackass does.
it's Poe's Law in action
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
Learned a new term today! Thank you Jeff and Wikipedia. (here’s hoping Musk takes over that horrible site.)
Just now read about Musk and Wikipedia - I’m glad they pissed him off.
Me too!
Say, “What?”
This is the sarcasm just fyi
Nooooo!
Never knew about Poe’s law! Thx. Richard needs to learn /s Or is it \s ?? Lol I’m afraid to be sarcastic online BECAUSE of Poe’s law!!! So I guess I knew about it, just not its formal name. I’ll shut up now. Love both you and Ms Spouse, Jeff. You keep us sane.
As an apology for jackassery, I submit this clip from Allegro Non Troppo (1977) set to Dvorak's Slavic Dance #7. Perhaps it will remind you of a politician or two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y87nLlz3iDQ
Thank You for that link--I 've always loved Dvorak and the cartoon is very cute. Hopefully, we can (eventually) flash our collective moons* at Trump and Smuk, and say Hah!
(*or a suitably insulting substitute)
Dvorak! come her for the rough talk and get culture at the same time!
Love his 7th, 8th, 9th Symphonies!!!!
I've always loved that film. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to watch it again soon.
Teresa, till wifi + cable are cut off. Phones too.
Yes......and there won't be a damn thing we can do about it, either. NOTHING they can do will surprise me. These are very dark and scary times.
Sweet, well dug Richard!!
Richard: 🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂
Would someone please invent a Sarcasma font? A number of us really need one! 😂
Thats for sure…because so much gets lost in translation!
Cheri, /s indicates sarcasm
Naw, we know Richard is merely fucking with us… although Biden and Harris policy towards Israel, and the genocide that happened under their watch, was completely misguided!
Yes, Harris could not get elected, but she committed GENOCIDE. Yup.
She's a real killer. Probably belongs to HAMAS.
😉
But Biden still sent 2000 lb bombs to Israel, knowing they would kill and maim thousands. Voted for Biden twice.
Actually, Biden was holding up those bombs, and Trump released them for delivery:
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/white-house-makes-2000-pound-bombs-available-israel-undoing-bidens-pause-2025-01-25/
Ditto Terri… having worked for defense contractors for years I feel complicit in the death and destruction, I’m aware of others who feel likewise.
That does tend to happen around here on occasion. Ask me how I know.
Hopefully your soft landing for him right there will blunt most of those without the ability to distinguish that. Nice one.
I got the sarcasm too, but I also know people who said almost that exact same thing and meant it completely seriously.
I almost bit! But figured it out! Richard, I think your sarcasm needs to be a bit less trolly!
You’re correct Jeff!!!
Same here. It..it ..was asking too much! A woman, with a plan, just too much!
PS My 94 yo mother and I had a bet that America would elect Kamala. I lost. Mom’s always right.
Except we know Harris didn’t lose. Recognise a coup when you witness it.
Lots of questions about Trumps “victory” in PA. How’s come nobody’s asking about that?
Voter suppression would explain the facts of the election outcome Seeking

Thanks Patrick for helping to spread that Palast article. 💙
During the last week or two of the campaign, Trump told rally-goers, "You don't even need to vote; I already have all the votes I need." There is def more to this story
Voter suppression caused her to lose. If I knew how to do it, I would share a conversation between Thom Hartmann and Greg Palast that I saw on BlueSky. It is quite enlightening. If you’re on BlueSky, it’s on my timeline.
I read that excellent article, too. It was both enlightening and rage-engendering. It's unbelievably infuriating that the Repubbies are able to push voter suppression moves througha legislature in that fashion--but it does emphasize that the R's are still afraid of a level playing field when voting time rolls around.
Good on you T L!!
The Dem leadership needs to read the Greg Palast article & PLAN to fight to overcome it; file lawsuits, do everything, tell voters about the “Poison Postcards.”
I would have thought after posting the Palast piece when it was released on his web site…right here! Would have been enough for anyone interested to peruse. Then Palast came to Substack and began posting his investigation, Thom did as well, hmm!
It’s certainly telling how MSM is serving its corporate overlords Sharon, there’s still people who don’t know the difference between truth, fantasy and propaganda!!
I read it .

Thank you Steve!
I’m on Bluesky. I’ll check it out! 😊
Read the Palst article that Patrick just posted here
GREG PALAST
I’m sure it’s really all that Kenyan guy Obama’s fault. Trump tried to expose him but nobody would listen!
And George Soros. And trans kids.
I thought everything is Biden's fault now.
Obviously it is. Everything done by Biden , whether positive or negative, was wrong and will be “corrected “ by the “ real estate genius “ at the behest of his owner. It’s the trusk administration now.
But trump is a saint, huh? You and people like you support a man who is trying his best to be a dictator over us. I'm sorry you're either blind, in the cult of MAGA or stupid. You wouldn't know a good person if you saw one. You like a man who is doing nothing for us, but plenty for himself. He cozies up to other dictators and alienates our allies. Worst president, but even more, worst man I've ever seen or heard.
Take a step back, BC. This whole string is sarcasm at its finest. Your clue was the bit about punishing Dems. Don't lose your sense of humor in all this; it may be the only shield any of us has against the insanity.
Couldn’t agree with you more, and you may want to have your sarcasm detector recalibrated.
Oh! Oh! Oh! - One of the saddest things about this whole debacle is that so MANY people seem to post incredibly ignorant things, our sarcasm detectors don't need "recalibrating" - they need life support. Seems to me the whole "/s" thing started at the beginning of the trump regime. Satire isn't dead - but it sure takes a good thrashing sometimes. . .
(and PS - I HATE the "/s"!)
Lady, you may hate /s, but it is necessary since we can't see facial expressions, tone of voice, or other obv clues one gets face to face.
Hmmmm. Maybe there's a way to use Comic Sans for sarcastic comments....
Sorry, I’ve been very bitter about this shit ever since I saw dewy-eyed Michigan kids saying this kind of bullshit
Since I’ve seen your comments on here numerous times, I know you are one of us, and I got the sarcasm immediately. There should be some way to explain that it’s sarcasm without actually saying it.
There is. End the comment with /s
Or you could reply "The fact that people are too stupid to recognise sarcasm when they see it is one of the reasons we are IN this shit!"
Excuse me, but you m not stupid becaus I missed the sarcasm. That comment is unwarranted.
Having a mobbed up career criminal as the leader of the (not so) free world, was certain to be a disaster, only a small fraction of imbecilic wastrels would think otherwise BC
Some people need a big ole sign that says SARCASM, especially if it is acommener thay are unfamiliar with. I knew you were being sarcastic .
/s helps. At least on reddit
Ditto Kristy!!
Seemed obvious.
Commenter 😮💨
Why the Democratic Party? It is the Republicans voting for Trump and Congress that has us in this mess. Republicans knew what Trump would do to DEMOCRACY. They voted ion November and the SENATE votes for every LOSER Trump wants in his Cabinet.
Go back to McConnell and the two impeachments he bamboozled the Republicans into dismissing. Now the fear of being 'primaried' is foremost to keep them all in line because Lone Muskrat has the $$$ to fund any primary challenge he wants, whether it be Dem or Rethug.
Take your meds.
And I have a Zoom meeting on Saturday with some of these sanctimonious asshats. I'll be sure to stick their noses in it.
Understood, but surely you didn't think they'd be better off with the current administration?
Not in the least
Please indicate sarc when it is
You must be new here...
Nope, not new. . Sometimes I miss the sarcasm, as I demonstrated here.
And i should have added a wink at the end of my comment- I didn't mean to come off as a little snot.
WTF? Bye Richard, look wtf you did and helped cause us to be in the horrible position we’re now in!!
It's a fucking joke. Come on!
It taught them fuck-all.
Nancy Mace can turn her own house into Mar-A-lar-Gofuckyourself.
Moreover, she can fork herself in the road.
She was simply out-monied and propagandized against. Still we need a real leader for Democrats and she is a great communicator. Here is a letter I sent her this morning. If you agree with me, please write to her and Dems who can communicate and relate to people:
Dear Madam VP (former) - I am writing as a former and current supporter. We are in the worst crisis our Nation has faced since the Civil War and our Democratic leaders are floundering in the face of the daily hurricane blast of nonsense and criminality from the Oval Office. Could you please find the strength to come out of retirement and help organize a shadow government using our best communicators. We need an organized and strong message to counter the Orange Dictator. We need people like Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and a dozen other people organized to get out there and bring our message to people. We need a highly competent modern communication genius to get the message placed and pounded in, daily. I feel like Princess Leia pleading with Obiwan Kemobi, but this seems to be an all hands on deck moment. Think it over, please.
Amy Klobuchar? She is voting with the Republicans to put Trump's yahoos in charge of the government. Try Mazie Hirono and Tammy Duckworth. They do not "go along to get along"!
THIS! Klobs is a pathetic wannabe & a collaborator of the highest order.
Our other senator, Tina Smith, is a legit part of the opposition. Except for voting for fucking Rubio.
Plus, Klobs just got reelected so there's NO colorable argument for her complicity.
I think they all looked at Rubio and thought he was a good guy. OOPS!
You are more generous than I in your assessment.😉
...and thought "he's from our club, if we vote for him that increases the chance that in the future there will be a cushy job for ME"
I am simply astonished by Dems voting for his awful nominees…
Exactly!
I would like to thank all of the pro Palestinian protesters who while Biden was trying to keep a lid on things called him genocide Joe and the like. I was at a fund raiser where the debris from that group infiltrated and seriously tried to disrupt the program. They wanted a change in mid eastern policy, and they got it. From unnecessary killings before to calculated extermination of a people and its culture now. It was so clear what would happen, that a mule could have seen it coming. They damaged Biden’s campaign and later the campaign of Harris. I have never seen a dumber group less aware of the ramifications of their actions.
Now, if they protest, they can expect to be arrested, shot or deported to Guantanamo. So, reap what you sow.
Gotta face some facts now.
Elon has added the Executive Branch to his asset portfolio. He paid $290 million for it. With Donald's help he has control of the Legislative Branch as well. Regardless of the Constitution or federal laws he will do whatever he wants and thumb his nose at anyone who tries to stop him. "I bought this. It's mine!"
Heather reported last night that Elon's tech kids are installing an AI program into the Treasury payments system. What could go wrong with that? AI is perfect, right?
Like he did after his takeover of Twitter, it's wrecking ball time. Fire the competent independent employees. Offer buyouts to everyone and whoever raises their hand just outed themselves as disloyal. Then back stab them and retract the deal.
Donald and Congress have laid down at the feet of the all powerful Elon. Which human or committee in the Judicial Branch has the power to stop Elon and his team from fucking up the government and committing crimes? The rules, the laws, the Constitution, do not apply to Elon. Like Russia, there are some people in America who are above the law.
Look at this from Elon's point of view. There was this inefficient democracy where the people rule themselves and it was a mess.
"Since I'm the Smartest Big Swinging Dick Master of the Universe, I'll just step in here and make the changes I decide. Why ask the lower rank nobles for their input? Who needs a board of directors or a Congress? I sure don't. So I'll go in here and scramble up the system and see how it settles out. Harm to people? No worries. They will survive. Kill people? Collateral damage for the greater good."
Elon doesn't read history, apparently. Other maniacs/kings/dictators who have gone against the will of the people eventually pay for their crimes. See King Charles I for example.
The judge who enjoined further funding freezes should summons Elon to a show-cause hearing (that's "show cause why you should not be held in contempt of court") and if Elon doesn't show, send marshalls heavily armed enough to engage with Elon's security detail (if Elon is killed resisting arrest, nothing of value will be lost).
This would require more guts than I realistically expect to see.
Jeff, your title today: "Just a couple of Dudes Planning War Crimes, As One Does" -- should have an asterisk *Detonation of Unexploded Bombs May Occur During Talks, Killing and Maiming Others"
The orange shit stain plans for us to pay for the cleanup of unexploded ordinance to prep the site for Jared to start building resorts for the ‘World people’. Trump will profit, US troops will die and be maimed for life, Palestinians will be ethnically cleansed to make way for this Faustian deal.
Not one RepubliCON will stand against this nonsense?!?
What I’ve been asking myself for the last many hours is where the fuck are all those college students who were screaming about Gaza before the election and yelling at Joe and Kamala about it? Why the fuck aren’t they in the streets? Those little shits that didn’t turn out to vote after all are suddenly quiet and studious?
Also, she CACKLED, am I right?
Jeff, you are right. Kamala was a slacker for sure.
Probably wants to name it Gaz-a-Largo.
And with Sen. Fetterman's blessing. WTF happened to this guy? Has he always been a Dump supporting dickhead in a hoodie or did he get one of those suitcases full of cash for agreeing to be supportive of dear leader's barbaric plans? It doesn't seem to matter anymore whether it's a clear violation of the Geneva Convention, Emoluments Clause or the Constitution, the GOP along with help from sellouts like Sen. Fetterman will continue support the evil plans of his assholiness.
A-fib, stroke, hospitalization for depression. Everyone gave him the benefit of the doubt (we ARE Democrats, after all). Damn shame, damn shame. Should have cut him lose back in 2023.
Yeah, except the alternative AT THE TIME in the general election was Mehmet Oz. Definitely not an upgrade.
I remember.
I’ve read a few reasons: his stroke (disclaimer: no, not everyone who has a stroke changes but it can happen: https://www.stroke.org/en/help-and-support/resource-library/lets-talk-about-stroke/personality-changes; and his wife is an immigrant.
“and his wife is an immigrant.”
A beautiful, outspoken immigrant. He also has two children.
The explanation for his course change is clear. It’s not the stroke.
GOSH, Kay-El!! You've got it!!! Spread the word as far as it can go. I'm putting it on my substack right now.
He's a phony. He goes whichever way the wind is blowing and right now it's a MAGA wind. Primary him.
If anyone thinks the Hamas and their friends will let that piece of land see a day of peace they are wrong. Arabs of different stripes could be new bedfellows and it will be a guerrilla style war you are talking another Afghanistan, unnecessary totally.
Douglas, will maga wake up when maga sons and daughters body bags arrive from Gaza? Bodies in 500 small pieces from detonations? Just to enrich Jared and Turd?
Probably not. And there won’t be any daughters in body bags according to Hogsbreath, or whatever his name is.
Exactly. Fetterman is not dancing with them what brung him, for sure. When he comes up for re-election, I hope he is primaried from the Left and goes down in flames.
“His assholiness”! Is that yours? It’s great!
Trump said that "world's people" will come to his Riviera on the Mediterranean. Yep, all the people of the world who can afford five-star hotels. And that's after he got rid of the 1.8 million who can't afford these hotels. After all, they're used to living in tents!
Where will wait staff, hotel maids, desk clerks, etc live? Nothing left of Gaza but rubble. If it's housing for resort staff, or a bigger golf course... Gee, I wonder what Jared will choose?
They will hire cheap labor from Asia and keep them in dormitories. Very often maids live in the basements of hotels. With rare exceptions, these people are never allowed to become permanent residents.
Jared originally planned to relocate the Palestinians to the desert. Netanyahu never did want them to remain in Gaza.
LOL Mike! 😂😂😂
Gas-a-Lago. It's cheaper to build crematoriums first. Then build the hotels on their beautiful waterfront.
Or support that pipeline of Ivanka's coffins from China.
Build 'em together, The crems will heat the hotel bathwater. . .
Hat tip for this excellent comment.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Good One Mike!
😂😂😂
Well, thanks for this one. I’m so pissed off right now, I’ll need a DEFIBRILLATOR after my session in the gym. Of course they aren't talking about the crimes being committed every minute at the treasury.
To think I ever thought Fetterman was a good guy.
And Nancy Mace is a C. I hate that word, but she fits the description. 🙄
I'm completely disgusted with Democrats. Democracy is burning. They are holding the fire hose and won't turn on the water. They're more interested in protecting their stock portfolios. Thom Hartmann wrote the perfect piece on who Democrats really represent. Robert Reich spoke to a number of Democrats who really don't give a shit. This tech-coup has shined a light on their hypocrisy. They're all Fettermans. The Progressives are the only smart ones in the bunch. And they do everything they can to shut them up. We need a new party. The Progressive People's Party. Why haven't they tried to overturn Citizens United? Because they benefit from it. The neoliberal Democrats have told us to fuck off. They're all in bed together. I'm done. They can take their lies, wrap them up real tight and pound them up their ass with a rubber hammer. Fuck them all to hell.
Sadly agree…AOC wants to stop stock purchasing when serving in Congress, right? I think I read that. Fetterman…fuck that guy. 🤦♀️
BTW…. you would make a tremendous copywriter, Lisa. 😂😂
You're a doll. 😅
┗(•ˇ_ˇ•)―→ I am SO WITH YOU on this sentiment, Lisa! All most of them know how to do is fucking dial for dollars! I am hit up for donations four and five times a day even now after the fucking election! And the first fucking text out of Adam Schiff after the inauguration sent me Flying around my apartment like an angry popped balloon. I couldn’t believe what he wrote on the socials about working together with the fucking Republicans and congratulating the demon spawn of Satan. What in the actual fuck? We in California elected this douche bag instead of Katie Porter?
I have HAD it! Give us a party filled with AOC, Jasmine, Crockett, Jamie Raskin, Liz Warren, and Chris Murphy (now finding his anger). I'm missing a few, I know, but the rest can go fuck off all the way to Fetterman's hoodie and bury themselves in it.
Thank you, Jeff for the brilliant wordplay, 𝔽𝕦𝕔𝕜 𝕠𝕗𝕗 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕒𝕪 𝕥𝕠 𝕗𝕦𝕔𝕜𝕠𝕗𝕗𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟, I like to repeat multiple times a day like Arya Stark reciting those that have betrayed her and her family.
I'm glad, I'm not alone. Thank you. I think about how my family members got their heads cracked open so people could have a 40 hr work week, a living wage and a fucking coffee break, everyone enjoys.
The energy and money we put into these elections, just for them to say, let's wait and see and fuck you. And asking for money right now!! Before I block them, I let them know they're fucking grifting cowards and piss off. I'm done with them. I can really appreciate why people choose not to vote at all. My daughter's group didn't like Biden or Shitpants.
They sell us out. Clinton sold us out repeatedly. We should have Universal Healthcare, not privatized Obamacare. They allowed our voting rights to become a privilege, not a guaranteed right. They are performance circus carnies. With the limited exceptions, as you pointed out. I'm done. I will never give them a dollar or 10 seconds of my time again. They're going to watch it burn. So be it. I know who the Republicans are. They don't hide it. And neoliberal Democrats are their first cousins.
Schiff has always been a limp noodle, Luke warm in his opposition. I was so disappointed when Katie Porter didn’t win the primary. Due to some chicanery by the Schiff campaign.
Please don't use rape references. It feeds the wackos who don't understand that anal sex is not a punishment.
Fetterman got paid off, pure and simple. Shitgibbon is Apartheid Clyde's smoke screen. What's being done to those servers is what's important.
Or threatened. Who knows what the mobster-in-chief has on anybody.
She's a QUNT 😉
He was once; it's apparent he's flipped out.
I have to wonder WHO he really was. HOW can a person change that drastically? When he was treated for depression, did someone switch out his meds when he was discharged? Did he have too much ECT?
Amy Klobuchar wants to reach across the aisle and hug it out. Right after the election, she was working on legislation to make the eagle the national bird. Cognitive dissonance is in the water.
YOU. HAVE. GOT. TO. BE. KIDDING. ME.
See a pair of bald eagles on the nest (there are three eggs now) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L2nfGcuE
She's a TRUNT. And a stupid "C."
Try a Yiddish word that bears the same meaning Susan:Klafte!!
Worse ! A Shiksa ! 😳
Cunt. I have no problem calling Nancy mace a cunt.
👏👏👏👏. I can’t find ONE redeeming quality in that bitch.
It fits her perfectly.
Fetterman WAS a good guy. That's what is so disheartening. I lived on the east side of Pittsburgh while he was mayor of Braddock, a town going through terrible times, and he was awesome.
It was him or Dr. Oz… I just loved John. 😩
Susan, I hate the "c" word too. But in my head, I 'm muttering it. How long till we throw it out there as our anger overflows? JFC.
I hear ya. 🤦♀️. It’s a term of last resort.
Yeah, not a fan of using derogatory term for a woman's genitals.
It's accurate because it's so nasty.
Careless people, I'm thinking of the book by F.Scott Fitzgerald.
Fascism! Now with colonial imperialism! It seem to me I've seen this movie before, and it never ends well for the colonizer. While trump spouted his Bullshit; Netanyahu sat there grinning like the cat that ate the canary.
He knows he can manipulate the butthead.
What I found so utterly disgusting was how the demon spawn of Satan was going on about how destroyed Gaza is and how terrible it is there and it’s leveled and there’s nothing left. What in the actual fuck with the guy who perpetrated these heinous crimes the entire time standing right next to you? Netanyahu is a fucking 𝕎𝕒𝕣 ℂ𝕣𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕝.
Modern COLONIZERS! TRUMP & NETANYAHU. TWO CRUEL HUMAN BEINGS who don't mind BULLDOZING HUMANITY.
The word genocide has not been used, but I have been saying this is the USs Nazi moment, made very clear by our acting president Elon Musk.
This morning Heather Cox Richardson said that Trump is doddering and many not have a clear idea of what Musk is up to as he is given Executive Orders to sign. I say, Impeach and Imprison Trump. Put him in El Salvador so he can try out the space he wants to put immigrants and US citizens in. I also say, Deport Musk, and send him to El Salvador or back to South Africa.
In fact, given that South Africa has a war crime claim against Netanyahu, I wonder what crimes can they charge Musk with after he doomed millions of children in Africa to die by withdrawing USAID!
I totally agree. I wrote last night that T looked ill, tired, his eyes were manic. Time for impeachment. I wonder if that would free some of the cowardly Republicans ?
It would not, they are beyond hope or redemption, including Fetterman who has gone off what rocker he once had.
His eyes looked even more demented than usual.
Here is Heather Cox Richardson today discussing him.

There is a Trump impeachment petition going around.

Done!
Obstruct and block everything in the Senate, and the House, impeach Dumpty every week. Imprisoning him is impossible, due to Extreme Court's ruling.
Nothing is impossible. When I was a child it was understood a Black man could not be president. Then we had Barack Obama. So, now nothing is out of reach.
Except maybe a Black woman?
Or a white woman.
Exactly. There will be no women in power in the US at all if we do not stop this craziness. Jay Kuo talks about the lawsuit against Musk that he thinks has the nest chance right now.
https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/can-musk-be-stopped?r=f0qfn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
And we should be calling particularly Republicans in Congress, and letting them know that you are angry and upset about the illegal behavior of Musk and his minions, and to block Russell Vought.
Also, here is an impeach Trump petition. Sign and share it please.

Except maybe nothing if we don't get rid of the criminal running our country now.
Apologies Doc....but far from obstructing, EVERY cabinet nominee is being approved AND even getting some Dem votes. Americans don't take Dems serious anymore. Sad
Nonetheless impeach now international and domestic illegality are plentiful could also get GOP support!
Linda, I’m on board with this plan
A Jew hater and a Jew who hates.
Wow- humanity has fallen flat on its face.
Exactly, well said Ingrid!!
Both criminals who need to stay in power to avoid prison
It has been said that Gaza might be Trump gaslighting Denmark about Greenland. The EU is getting ready to go into Greenland and "defend" it. So, in case the EU forgot about the might of the US military, why not intimidate them and Panama so that they can see what they might be in for. Trump is big on gaslighting. Well, the Ayatollah already has a 1 mil price on Trump's head, what do you think it will be now?
Also, why does Jared Kushner have a Hitler haircut? All he needs is the right mustache and salute and you won't be able to tell them apart. He can imitate his hero Musk!
A Million $$$ on Trumps head. Is there a Go Fund Me set up where contributions can be made?
I’m right there with you Susan. Can we add Elon to it and get a twofer?
I imagine others might want to add Elon to it. I presume the Ayatollah might feel that way about Jared Kirshner too. He is the one who told his father in law to develop Gaza as real estate.
YES!!! I'm even willing to DOUBLE the price!
If Trump eradicates Gaza and removes the people, then I think the Ayatollah will up that price. I read it in Spy Talk, but I see here in Al Jazeerah that it is up to 3 million. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/1/21/iranian-mp-puts-3m-bounty-on-president-donald-trumps-head
That's peanuts!
OK, Susan! I FINALLY laughed. Good work.
Don’t forget muskrat…
This is where my paranoia comes in - are “they” watching who writes/comments on “taking out” a certain person? 😳😳😳😳
I don't give a shit. Fucking Nazis.
I’m glad you said that. 😊
Only their algorithms -- remember, they've decimated the FBI and given buyout offers to CIA employees. Actual terrorists know this. And when Shiites and Sunis line up against the U.S. and fuckhole Israel ("the enemy of my enemy is my friend"), Trump's resort plans for Gaza will literally go up in smoke.
something, alas, to keep in mind when we're blowing off steam
🤣
😂😂😂
Careful Susan.
Far be it for me to stifle free speech but I just don’t know about that one specifically.
The Ayatollah started it. 🤷🏼♀️
only a million$$$???
Up that x10 and include Muskrat .
up it by x100 and Putin would take care of it.
Well said Linda, misdirection is always a great plan, Trumps lacks the intelligence for it, but his coterie of miscreants are doing it now!!
But, he has the instincts for it. I cannot even imagine how sick his childhood might have been to create a person with such a knack for subterfuge!
And, all the MAGAs are defending him because they bought into the Musk and Trump lines that it might hurt at first, like destroying our government to line Musk's pockets even more isn't a full measure of maniacal insanity.
This is what Goebbels used to tell the Germans as they got them into a war that Hitler promised he would not, all the while knowing that he was planning to.
Two years ago when I said Trump reminds me of Hitler, someone whose parents had immigrated from Germany like my mom did chided me on trivializing the experiences of the Holocaust. Mark my words, what Trump has planned for non-White, non-Asian immigrants and citizens of the US is going to look a lot like that. Let El Salvadorian prisons do the killing is what he is doing. It is said that people that go into the El Salvadorian prisons don't come out. So, what is the misdirection from?
Also, I would like to deport Musk back to South Africa.
DISTRACTIONS !!!!!!
Misdirection is the name of the game I’m watching unfold Kristy, but I love logical and creative thinking!!
Today we were discussing how Gaza might just be Trump gaslighting Europe over Greenland, and Panama, by making them think that Trump will go to war on people. However, if it is just that then it is to distract from the Treasury dept. But while people are freaking out about Musk and his minions and Gaza, they are preparing to dismantle the Dept of Education. So, you cannot fully take your eye off the ball, but I had a friend who was focusing on the tariffs. I said do not focus on tariffs, focus on big picture actions.
The fucking nerve of this administration…..Trump, King of the World! What the actual fuck????????????
King STUPID.
We will “do a job with it”. Anyone care to guess what kind of a job?
A shitty one, just like everything else trump touches.
Trump is the distraction. Musk is the destruction.
And boy howdy, are they good at it.
Ifvthis crackpot scheme goes forward, can you imagine the infiltration of the construction crews by Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Talisman. The "Riviera" could be pre-wired for bombs, they can dig new tunnels. And with this "everybody out" shit? It's practically a terrorist job fair; no telling how many they could recruit.8
this is exactly correct. As Meiselis says, WMD. Weapons of Mass Distraction as he loots the treasury and changes out the whole government with his acolytes
I’ve been in this camp since witnessing what happened with twitter Susan, what we are seeing in front of our noses, is the misdirection, to what’s going on behind the curtain!!
Definitely. Where is Sasquatch VP Vance? Doing dirty work no doubt.
PLEASE call your senators and tell them to stop confirming anyone for this corrupt administration. We need to take a page outta Moscow Mitch's playbook and stop everything in the senate. NO business a usual. Block, obstruct and get loud about the coup happening right in front of us!
I was appalled to find out how many Dems just voted on a Trump nominee, Doug Collins for Sec’y of veterans Affairs. 22 of them including mine in Arizona. What the hell?
Your Arizona senators have not done well in these confirmations. Tell them, because I already did, when they asked me for money last week.
OBAMA asked me for money over the weekend.
I just got an email from Kamala Harris asking for a Benjamin to support the DNC.
🙄
THAT shitweasel is why we’re here now. God damn him to hell and back! Totally agree with everything you said.
Which one (weasel)??
That would be Yurtle McTurtle, aka Moscow Mitch, or Elaine Chao’s husband.
WTF is with Fetterman? Was he just a wolf in a hoodie, gym sweats and tennis shoes all along?
One day, and that day can't come soon enough, this will all be over. I hope I'm still alive to see it.
Fetterman played us!
Fetterman played a lot of hopefuls, but he came as advertised to many Mary!!
I think he's gone nucking futs.
Yup. Donated to his campaign multiples times because of what he supposedly stood for even though I am in FL. Maybe campaign donations to a candidate who provably flips 180 degrees on their campaign promises should be refundable? Then I suppose Maggats might definitely want refunds for egg prices.
Can he be recalled?
There is no procedure for recalling federal Representatives or Senators.
Arrest musk, trump, and all of the coup criminals, NOW. Is it a coup? If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck......OUR police and military need to counteract this coup, NOW. Illegal activity gives them the authority, IMHO.
South Korea did it, and we should too.
Exactly what I said to Mrs. Spouse this morning. Thank you, Mary.
This might be exactly why they're trying to purge the FBI and CIA. There are many in the intelligence agencies who agree with you.
Well put, Gerard. Thanks for your reply.
Every morning I ask so is TODAY the day the SWAT team storms the White House and at least drags Eloon and his playpen of Musketeers out by their ears?
Well?
We're waaaiitinnng!!!.....
I have been wondering about our military folks - I know General Milley is no longer “around,” but are there others like him who would rather be pro-USA than being pro-trump? Ya’ know, pro Constitution rather than pro-coup?
Congress is helpless, justice department and FBI are in the midst of chaos and crisis… the only solution is the D. C. Police, that’s unlikely Gary. This coup was a much more complex planned attack on democracy, with a mass of complicit players involved. What will remain of this republic will be determined by our actions and those of our courts!
With all due respect, we really don't know what the 'only solution' is, as these are extraordinary times. Imagine the tens of thousands of people working in our intelligence agencies who have spent their careers (some of them risking their lives) as patriots, supporters of the constitution, and defenders against nations that would love to weaken the United States. Many of them won't go quietly. I have no idea what they can do, or if they can do it, but I guarantee that many of them are on it, and have been on it throughout their careers. This is why Trump is moving so quickly.
Correct. Who has authority over the military? Commander-in-Chief...? Congress? (Oh, Holy Mike Johnson...?) They'd probably call out the National Guard to combat the DC Police. Who would command the DC Police, for that matter? What would actually hurt them? Pulling $$$ out of the stock market in mass.
Uh, don't expect LEOs to help. They are MAGAts.
I. can't. breathe.
Fetterman has to go.
Too bad Conor Lamb didn't have the recognition and catch the voters' attention like the hulking Fetterman did. Lamb is a Marine Corp veteran, former Assistant US Attorney, a great candidate. And I'm sure he wouldn't be a turncoat like you know who.
I liked Kenyatta.
Just called his office in PHL. Again. Turncoat.
Fetterman, the new Manchin/Sinema
When I saw this horse shit about Gaza on the BbC this morning, my first thought was that he’s going to get us into a war in the Middle East.
A war? This is more like a feeding frenzy and it won’t end until someone snatches the tablecloth, or yanks his fat ass from the table.
Glad I don’t have any kids who’ll be drafted to hold rifles on the workers putting up this proposed gaudy asshole-garage
The gaudy asshole-garage has a ring to it.
If not there, then Panama, Greenland, California. He's itching for lots of others who do not have bone spurs to go get killed for a lie.
But, but, he's the Anti War Unpresident 🙄😮💨
Possibly, the Saudi’s won’t have any of this idiocy Gail, but they do have Kuch!!
Emperor Dumbass thinks cleaning up Gaza will get him a Nobel Prize. It's more likely to get him an arrest warrant from the ICC, not that he cares. But seriously, 10 days into the job and Rubio has turned himself into a laughing stock. Not one serious world leader will deal with him because they know he is nothing more than the Emperor's sock puppet. These assholes have burned America's place in the world to the ground in less than a month.
Rubio is a hypocrite christian, but his problem is he's not WHITE.
he's not? Latino, but of the top-layer Euro Cubans, I thought - huh, Nazis used to check birth certificates; we're advanced and will test with DNA..........
He does a good imitation of a white guy.
