What Trump and JD Vance have done to Springfield, OH is reminding me of the War between Hamas, Hezbollah and Israel. When I read about the lives of the people, I know that in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon people have had to evacuate where they live and try to get to safety because of bombs. That is not something we should be emulating here in the USA, and I agree 1000% with this lawsuit and have been asking why no one was filing charges, because it is clear that they incited violence. Wish some citizens in DC had done that with Trump and the rest of his cronies over the January 6 attacks. We should all be filing a class action over the trying to steal the election and the election lies.
That is why I need Jeff Tiedrich's Saturday humor, to buoy me up with laughter. I like looking at Lincoln Project and Harris campaign ads too. I love the contrast of these two videos.
What those two assholes did is akin to swatting. Lie about some made-up situation and sit back to watch the frightening results. So arrest them already! 😡
It's worse because prejudice is not easy to eradicate. It sticks, and sticks. Look at how persistent Islamophobia has been. 23 years after 9/11 and a lot of Americans still hate Muslims.
The good thing is that the case should still be active as of election day. Trump's lawyers will seek to dismiss it, but the hearing likely can't happen until after November 5.
TFG/PAB and his R cronies are certainly making life more interesting for the American legal profession. Boundaries to wrong, criminally speaking, are being ignored, pulled down, and tossed over a cliff. How much money does this conservative political party, er, billionaire, er, lying sack of shit have to fight legal cases? I guess the Manchurian Cantaloupe is going to find out, and going forward, I hope we're all able to watch it safely while passing the popcorn.
I’ve always been a fan of the older country music. Not so much the new stuff. But never was into this band. Was the song meant to be funny? I see people saying they loved it. I don’t know. 🤷🏻♀️. Either way lyrics are still 😳
Kathleen, I thought we were friends in this space. I get your point 🤢🤢 and we'll still be friends -- only if the song title is "Women, Kick Such Men Into A Ditch. / ☺️
Oh I remember this one! I have never cared for country music so I never took this song seriously and missed those sneaky lyrics. Several 70’s songs were misogynistic such as “Witchy Women” by the Eagles and “Brick House” by The Commodores (Lionel Ritchie). Love those groups but we were all indoctrinated back then. Lesley Gore wasn’t having it with her “It’s My Party” in 1963. In retrospect the back lash was already in place in the 70’s. Now that we know better we do better.
He sure does and could give two shits. Very disturbing that there's still so many disturbing folk around. Like that meeting Alex Wagner from MSNBC had yesterday with Local 85 union members in Lansing, Michigan. A couple of the younger members who are probably clueless about the very anti union ticket they support as well as women's rights didn't care about Trump's criminal charges or any of his other many wrongdoings. Scary as hell that these swing state voters could fuck up this election for all of us including themselves.
Some people, perhaps cynically, believe that was an act from the younger, more able-bodied ones, because they're involved in militias or were even involved in Jan 6. [Shrugs]
Plus they are so out of touch with many of the twisted MAGA issues like Project 2025 and don't really give a damn. Based on their views. It's almost like they got an IV full of Fox News.
I listened to the clueless ones. The older guys understood. The Republicans turned Michigan into a right to work state. The Democrats reversed it. An auto CEO making 400x the workers wages is a bit “much”. They can pay their share of income taxes and not be so damn greedy either.
Rick: I was really upset watching that. Those young guys parroting everything that they have heard from Trump. I really appreciated the older person towards the end of the show who did an excellent point about the improvements the Biden administration had put forth.
Contractors have to take a test to prove they know enough about their business to deserve a license to do it. We need something like that for anyone running for office; a test on performing whatever job they're campaigning for, from city council to POTUS. Maybe three levels, county, state and federal.
And parenting! We aren't born knowing how to constructively or lovingly parent children. At least one parenting class should be a minimum requirement. Many of the current occupants of prisons experienced poor parenting, abuse, or neglect. Fix it, dammit, and that will help fix the world.
She's a malignant narcissist attending to her malignant narcissistic activities. She's on a Saudi dating website looking for her next meal ticket. Busy lady. Fuck her forever.
Unforgivable what she did to Jackie O's beautiful rose garden. And that dumpy jacket she wore on that border visit to inspect the families her hubby was in the process of destroying.
Her first con (marrying a “billionaire”) seems to be dead in the water. What a great lesson to women who think it's a good idea to hook up with someone you don't love, just for the moolah.
Another great piece Jeff...I hope Glenn reads it. 😂
The "Republicans" have made the biggest error... not listening to women! We are pissed. Bernie Marino can go straight to hell.
And this..... "because nothing says “I’m a serious legislator” more than dressing like you’ve lost your sheep and don’t know where to find them." 🤣🤣🤣 So much good stuff, but this! Thrilled Manchin and Sinema wont be back.
I was laughing reading it. Jeff is a genius. Stupid people don't laugh. I've tested that theory. 🤣 Jeff just cuts through other's paper intellectual word salads. I love it! ❤️ It's a gift and he has it. Period.
A true sense of humor is a strong indicator of intelligence. By that I do NOT mean those guys who tell witless, cruel jokes and their buddies whose laughs are mean and insensitive as a box of rocks.
WOW. This dude definitely has a love/hate relationship with you Jeff. It actually brought back great memories of the early days of you stalking Trump and when I first started following you. LOL
Yup. Glenn got it right: “The stuff he does is special. It’s a craft, and he’s mastered it.”! He also acknowledges being a long time reader, so all good!😉
I am laughing manically at that article. I’m impressed at how unoriginal it is in his attempt to bash you and complain about your unoriginal thoughts. Wow.
I had a good time reading the refutations in the comments of Glenn's hit piece on you, Jeff. Your curses are a blessing! We need a break from the seriousness of insane magavillains. Plus, I got acquainted with another worthy writer, Peter Pappas. Thank you Jeff, for the LOLness amongst your true offerings. As a lady who could not even say fuck before her 50s, I now relish swearing in all its fun forms. Thank you for your pieces, the right on truth.
“I’m Glenn, and I just completed my undergrad. I write about human rights and human wrongs. Specifically, I’m interested in applied ethics (animal welfare, veganism, Effective Altruism), politics and political science (and endlessly explaining how they’re not the same thing), and the intellectual history of U.S. foreign policy after 1945.
I started this blog because I wanted to improve my writing and publish more frequently. Which is to say: I’m writing for me, not for you! I hate to say it, but it’s true.”
Ruh-roh. He’s a 22 year old guy who takes himself very seriously. I can visualize people peeling off him at parties when he starts up ‘endlessly explaining’ applied ethics and the ‘intellectual history’ of U.S. foreign policy.
I agree that Glen is jealous or maybe he just doesn't get it. Jeff, I appreciate you having your 'stack cuz I canceled xitter and I do kinda miss it. Did you tell that guy to fuck off? This is my favorite stack and thoroughly enjoy reading the comments.
That is funny and I’ll tell whose voice I heard while reading: Billo the clown! Just read his words in Orielly’s voice it is hilarious, what a dope that one is!
Wow it’s like Glenn can’t imagine the person who would pay for something that isn’t paywalled because he’s never written any content so good it inspired readers to voluntarily pay
I heard about Moreno's comments Monday when Rachel featured them, and my response was immediate: I donated to Sherrod Brown. Fuck these loser hard-reich idiots.
What really shocked me was the number of women you could hear laughing when he said it. I hope it was the kind of startled laughter you sometimes hear yourself making when you've been taken utterly by surprise, and not a sign that they agreed with him and find it funny that he thinks old women have no right to have an opinion on abortion.
To me the sad thing is that a woman *married* Moreno. OMFG, woman, reflect on your life's choices! But it's worse than that. What if Moreno was the best choice?
Jeff got one thing wrong, but it's really wrong. Trump is not a husk of a human being. Husks don't smell.
He is a rotting roadkill remnant of a human being corrupting into chemical weapons-grade toxic ooze. If the EPA wasn't asleep, they would declare him a hazmat Superfund site.
You mean to sit here and tell me that Kirsten Cinema, of the Cinema Party, and Joe Manchin, of the Would You Fucking GO Already Party, don't support the Democrat's presidential nominee?
Well! I am shocked. Or, the opposite of shocked.
Can't wait until both of them fuck off into irrelevance.
Manchin going off the deep end about the filibuster and not realizing that it was only for Roe is just a glimpse of his "outrage first and ask questions later" culture. Can't wait til that whiny little bitch is gone.
That crack about women over 50 is especially galling. Once more, a GOP politician insinuates that women who aren't bearing children are washed-up, useless, second-class citizens who don't deserve a say in public policy.
Are they really unable to comprehend that even if we don't need a right or a service ourselves, we want others to have it? I'm not Black but that doesn't mean I don't want full civil rights for Black people! I'm not gay but I want all gay people to have the same rights and privileges as everyone else!
Not so long ago that ignorant remark would have ended Moreno's political career. Now it will probably give him a boost. Sigh.
Well, according to JD, we’re still permitted to live in society if we have grandchildren to help take care of, if we even have any because of all the “post-birth abortions” our slutty daughters keep insisting upon.
Usually a Republican can rouse himself to also care about a family member, which is why some R's have seen the light on LGBT rights when a son come out, or support IVF if their wife used it. But women over 50, even Republican women over 50, often have daughters who may be of reproductive age, and such non-fertile women might care about the aspirations, health and lives of such younger female relatives even if, a Republicans, they don't care about the aspirations, health and lives of women who are strangers.
I grew up with Republicans. They really only give a shit about boys. Girls can be sold off to marry some rich asshole. It's ok to educate young women, but the goal is to marry their own kind.
BTW, I flunked Republican and was ostracized. Didn't care.
Imagine if men delivered babies through the heads of their penis, resulting in their penis being split open and then they’re not able to hold their pee the rest of their lives.
Thank you to all the men who support women and women’s rights.
I’ve got new for that asshole Moreno - I am a 77 year old woman and I CARE DEEPLY about the abortion issue because I am not one of those fucking republicans who say “I’ve got mine so fuck you.” I am writing postcards and donating and doing everything I can to elect Harris, even tho I live in a blue state and don’t have to worry about that orange anus winning this state. I hope every woman with 2 or more functioning brain cells votes for Harris, because anything else is absolutely asinine and against your own self interests.
You may not have to worry about orange anus winning your state, but if he takes the presidency, he or his heir-apparent are as likely as not to put through a national abortion ban and perhaps even a "human life" amendment. No woman, over or under 50, is safe if Trump gets back in the White House.
Every time I see the clip of Manchin standing on his Koch toy, I wonder if John Denver is spinning in his grave. I mean, 'Almost Heaven, West Virginia' with Joe Manchin mansplaining is not what he was thinking when he wrote Country Roads. Why would anyone vote for a car salesman for US Senate? That's as bad as a real estate salesman with 6 bankruptcies for president. Kudos to the Haitians for suing their ass. He's moved on to his next target, but be careful, Donald. Nothing runs like a Deere.
Manchin and sinema have lost any credibility. Such losers. Clowns running after the clown car. Haven’t they accrued enough money and power to be dismissed yet?
When I heard tRump’s reassuring words that he would “take care of” me, I was overwhelmed with gratitude , and not at all inclined to roll my eyes and mutter “What a condescending p*rick!”
As a science person, I can never fully grasp how much clumps of cells matter to conservatives, whereas a living, breathing person (woman, hungry child, anyone involved in firearms violence) do not matter in the least. Crazy, backward, illogical, nonsensical are not strong enough words.
Oh, yes, it's a facade. They want dominion over women, and reproduction is the biggest and most personal way. Being anti-science and pro-willfully ignorant also bolsters their push to prioritize frozen zygotes and Petri dishes of cells (or Peach Tree dishes per mental deficient MTG) over real people, which of course is batshit crazy. But not to them
I just wish they'd leave my genitals alone. No kidding it's batshit crazy to try to own my fucking crotch. Oh shit I wasn't going to let them piss me off today.
It's all about dominating women, regardless of age. And they don't even care about the women in their own lives. Whatever happened to personal liberty?
They want total control over others. Hence the hatred of cats and seemingly endless revelations about how proud they are of cruelly murdering ‘disobedient’ dogs. Imagine what power abuses they inflict upon kids out of public sight.
They don't care about any of it, they are using a sentimental notion as a weapon. There is no sense or reason to be found because the basic premise, that they actually care about something other than themselves, is false.
Incredible. Manchin and Sinema are so enamored with their gum-up-the-works filibuster that they completely ignore the crucial issue of saving women's lives. And they won't even be in the Senate next term. Yes, getting praise from Kookoo Kari Lake is not a feather in your cap, Krysten.
Moreno is par for the course for MAGA. Anti-woman, clueless, idiotic, foot in mouth.
I hope the Haitian Bridge Alliance asks for a nice round number from Trump and Vance like, oh, $787 million.
I truly hope the Haitian non profit gets some semblance of justice, particularly since Couchpotato admitted to lying, to further the Magat agenda.
Me too..I hope civil suits are next.

We need a Class Action Lawsuit against TFG et al for INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS
That is why I need Jeff Tiedrich's Saturday humor, to buoy me up with laughter. I like looking at Lincoln Project and Harris campaign ads too. I love the contrast of these two videos.

Kristy, I decided today that I can't let them trigger me anymore. I'm just too fucking old.
Of course there's always tomorrow. 😁
I think it's more about the Springfield occupants who are directly suffering from the Dumpty cohort bigotry and deliberate lies.
I know Doc. It's not just about me at all.
I luv it!!
💐 LOL me too. Today it was time for a movie fest. Tomorrow "I'll be back".
What those two assholes did is akin to swatting. Lie about some made-up situation and sit back to watch the frightening results. So arrest them already! 😡
It's worse because prejudice is not easy to eradicate. It sticks, and sticks. Look at how persistent Islamophobia has been. 23 years after 9/11 and a lot of Americans still hate Muslims.
Exactly. The crazies were sitting on GO ready, willing and able to inflict maximum damage. Round em all up and sue the bejeezus out of them.
Me too.
The good thing is that the case should still be active as of election day. Trump's lawyers will seek to dismiss it, but the hearing likely can't happen until after November 5.
Technically is this a hate crime? Since the both of them had malicious intent to hurt someone.
All they have to do is indict them and Kamala will take care of the rest. For some reason those words are echoing in my head from the past.
TFG/PAB and his R cronies are certainly making life more interesting for the American legal profession. Boundaries to wrong, criminally speaking, are being ignored, pulled down, and tossed over a cliff. How much money does this conservative political party, er, billionaire, er, lying sack of shit have to fight legal cases? I guess the Manchurian Cantaloupe is going to find out, and going forward, I hope we're all able to watch it safely while passing the popcorn.
" Manchurian cantaloupe " EXCELLENT
🤣👏
One of my favorites on the list of nicknames for TFG
After listening to his speech about women I understand how he brings out homicidal tendencies in certain folk.
Here is a song that came out in 1976. That puts Trump 50 years behind country music.
Put Another Log on the Fire (biggest hit for Tompall & the Glaser Brothers)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32FBXYZdxWE
Put another log on the fire.
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
And go out to the car and change the tyre.
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,
And then go fetch my slippers.
And boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire, babe,
AND COME AND TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING ME.
Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?
Don't I warn you when you're gettin fat?
Ain't I a-gonna take you fishin' with me someday?
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.
Ain't I always nice to your kid sister?
Don't I take her driving every night?
So, sit here at my feet 'cause I like you when you're sweet,
And you know it ain't feminine to fight.
So, put another log on the fire.
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
Go out to the car and lift it up and change the tire.
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,
And then go fetch my slippers.
And boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire, babe,
And come and tell me why you're leaving me.
Such an astounding campaign strategy— a new campaign slogan—"Keep the bitches in their place!"
GRRRRRR
Stayin' mad about it
Those lyrics. 😳
What she ⬆️ said. Seriously creepy.
Big-time EWWW!
LOL! I'd forgotten that song! For a brief moment I was a Country fan...
I’ve always been a fan of the older country music. Not so much the new stuff. But never was into this band. Was the song meant to be funny? I see people saying they loved it. I don’t know. 🤷🏻♀️. Either way lyrics are still 😳
Yes, it was satire even back then, but kind of true.
Yeah, I guess 🤷🏻♀️. Either way it’s not important anymore really.
Kathleen, I thought we were friends in this space. I get your point 🤢🤢 and we'll still be friends -- only if the song title is "Women, Kick Such Men Into A Ditch. / ☺️
Well, that could be a great new rewrite. Back in the day, the song snuok up on you unawares.
A family favorite for years. Thanks for bringing it back. 😃
Oh I remember this one! I have never cared for country music so I never took this song seriously and missed those sneaky lyrics. Several 70’s songs were misogynistic such as “Witchy Women” by the Eagles and “Brick House” by The Commodores (Lionel Ritchie). Love those groups but we were all indoctrinated back then.

LOVE LOVE LOVE #LeslieGore. And "You Don't Own Me"!!!!
Perfect Republican anthem. 👌
Like
“Don’t I let you wash the car on Sunday”
wow… i’m sure all women beg their hubbies that they want to lather that
old Buick up - just for him!
Speaking of log on the fire, Zappa's Fine Girl:
"Well, yeah, well
Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
She could get down wit de get down,
All de way down
She do yer laundry
She change a tire,
Chop a little wood for de fire
Poke it around...if it died down
Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
She go up in the mornin'
She go down in the evenin'...all de way down
She do the dishes
If you wishes,
Silverware too,
Make it look brand new...when she get through.
Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
Outa this world
Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
With a lovely smile
With a bucket on her head
Fulla water from de well
She could run a mile
Oh yeah
She wouldn't spill a drop
It'd stay on top
Her head was kinda flat,
But her hair covered that
She was a fine girl
Didn't need no school
She was built like a mule
With a thong sandal
Well, wasn't no kinda job she could not handle.
She could get down...wit de get down
All de way down.
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town...
We need some more like dat..."
Sick.
He sure does and could give two shits. Very disturbing that there's still so many disturbing folk around. Like that meeting Alex Wagner from MSNBC had yesterday with Local 85 union members in Lansing, Michigan. A couple of the younger members who are probably clueless about the very anti union ticket they support as well as women's rights didn't care about Trump's criminal charges or any of his other many wrongdoings. Scary as hell that these swing state voters could fuck up this election for all of us including themselves.
Yeah, and like those dipshits DJ and JD give a flying fuck about the working class.
They were so young to be so
Out of it with closed minds already.
Some people, perhaps cynically, believe that was an act from the younger, more able-bodied ones, because they're involved in militias or were even involved in Jan 6. [Shrugs]
Some of these dumbazz young voters couldn’t even tell you how many stars are on our flag
Oh, but there are so many that do and are energized and voting for Kamala. Read Jay Kuo’s substack posted today .
Unfortunately there’s a plethora of unctuous derps that still have a vote Rick!
Plus they are so out of touch with many of the twisted MAGA issues like Project 2025 and don't really give a damn. Based on their views. It's almost like they got an IV full of Fox News.
I listened to the clueless ones. The older guys understood. The Republicans turned Michigan into a right to work state. The Democrats reversed it. An auto CEO making 400x the workers wages is a bit “much”. They can pay their share of income taxes and not be so damn greedy either.
Rick: I was really upset watching that. Those young guys parroting everything that they have heard from Trump. I really appreciated the older person towards the end of the show who did an excellent point about the improvements the Biden administration had put forth.
He really did and made those two naive youngsters look foolish.
Yeah, I saw those young guys. So I 'll just say it. Neither one could speak in coherent sentences or even seem to understand her questions.
Read Jay Kuo’s latest substack. It will make you feel better.
Contractors have to take a test to prove they know enough about their business to deserve a license to do it. We need something like that for anyone running for office; a test on performing whatever job they're campaigning for, from city council to POTUS. Maybe three levels, county, state and federal.
A civics test for public office with results published! Yes!!
And in depth psych testS (plural). See what they think of nuking hurricanes. Or have OCD (sharks, Hilary, batteries that SINK THE SHIPS THEY'RE IN).
And parenting! We aren't born knowing how to constructively or lovingly parent children. At least one parenting class should be a minimum requirement. Many of the current occupants of prisons experienced poor parenting, abuse, or neglect. Fix it, dammit, and that will help fix the world.
We " Cat ladies " have teeth and claws.
And why Melania is nowhere to be seen....
But when she is seen there's a $225,000.00 pay check from the Trump campaign waiting for her. She's a worthless grifter.
My guess is she’s saving up for when he loses and she can get the hell out of there. 🙄
I'm with u. Looks like any pre- nup will leave her living out of her car.
I’d love to know what the latest pre-nup says.
Yep, I guess she never claimed to be otherwise, really.
She's a malignant narcissist attending to her malignant narcissistic activities. She's on a Saudi dating website looking for her next meal ticket. Busy lady. Fuck her forever.
Unforgivable what she did to Jackie O's beautiful rose garden. And that dumpy jacket she wore on that border visit to inspect the families her hubby was in the process of destroying.
And her all red "fouking Christmas" trees?
Oh, how could we forget Halloween at Christmas?!!!
I can't NOT SEE Melania Braun enough.
Agreed Kristy!
She’s likely packing up what’s left of her dignity… as if she ever had…
Oh, she possesses lots of haughty, she does.
She’s too busy humping-er hawking her book or jewelry or speaking ability for big bux.
Her first con (marrying a “billionaire”) seems to be dead in the water. What a great lesson to women who think it's a good idea to hook up with someone you don't love, just for the moolah.
C'mon "be best"
No space , BeBest. She's the WORST with English
🤣🤣🤣.
Looney Loomer is her surrogate. Same overtightened Botox face, trout-pout and fake..."kidneys".
Another great piece Jeff...I hope Glenn reads it. 😂
The "Republicans" have made the biggest error... not listening to women! We are pissed. Bernie Marino can go straight to hell.
And this..... "because nothing says “I’m a serious legislator” more than dressing like you’ve lost your sheep and don’t know where to find them." 🤣🤣🤣 So much good stuff, but this! Thrilled Manchin and Sinema wont be back.
in case people are wondering who "Glenn" is: https://statesofexception.substack.com/p/the-most-least-remarkable-person
I was laughing reading it. Jeff is a genius. Stupid people don't laugh. I've tested that theory. 🤣 Jeff just cuts through other's paper intellectual word salads. I love it! ❤️ It's a gift and he has it. Period.
That Glenn is a pseudo intellectual trying to be relevant. I let him have it. Do NOT fuck with Jeff. 😂
We got his back!!🤓
I upvoted your everyone! Dildos like him annoy me to no end.
A true sense of humor is a strong indicator of intelligence. By that I do NOT mean those guys who tell witless, cruel jokes and their buddies whose laughs are mean and insensitive as a box of rocks.
Exactly!
Methinks Glenn wishes he came up with all your Jeffisms himself and is now barnacling the shit out of your posts. (See what I did there?)
I was wondering, thanks Jeff. Mr. Glenn sounds jealous.
I can't tell if Glenn dislikes you or admires you. Maybe both.
A Jeff wanna-be, but never will even come close. Sad!
WOW. This dude definitely has a love/hate relationship with you Jeff. It actually brought back great memories of the early days of you stalking Trump and when I first started following you. LOL
Plus Glen has barely 30% the likes Jeff has today. Glen is as funny as an old man's sour fart in a cancer ward.
😂😂😂
Dang.
😂😂😂
I just joined the chorus of your many loyal and appreciate readers in telling Glenn just how much we think of you. <3
Yup. Glenn got it right: “The stuff he does is special. It’s a craft, and he’s mastered it.”! He also acknowledges being a long time reader, so all good!😉
Wait, what? I thought I was sending my five bucks to Eric Clapton???
LOL!!!
I am laughing manically at that article. I’m impressed at how unoriginal it is in his attempt to bash you and complain about your unoriginal thoughts. Wow.
I had a good time reading the refutations in the comments of Glenn's hit piece on you, Jeff. Your curses are a blessing! We need a break from the seriousness of insane magavillains.

As a lady who could not even say fuck before her 50s, I now relish swearing in all its fun forms. Thank you for your pieces, the right on truth.
You said it better than I did!
Wow. Glenn has a crush on you.
Glenn is one bitter dude.
Here’s Glenn describing himself.
“I’m Glenn, and I just completed my undergrad. I write about human rights and human wrongs. Specifically, I’m interested in applied ethics (animal welfare, veganism, Effective Altruism), politics and political science (and endlessly explaining how they’re not the same thing), and the intellectual history of U.S. foreign policy after 1945.
I started this blog because I wanted to improve my writing and publish more frequently. Which is to say: I’m writing for me, not for you! I hate to say it, but it’s true.”
He left out the part about living in his mom's basement with no video games because he thinks they are creepy.
He is a gem, definitely.
Ruh-roh. He’s a 22 year old guy who takes himself very seriously. I can visualize people peeling off him at parties when he starts up ‘endlessly explaining’ applied ethics and the ‘intellectual history’ of U.S. foreign policy.
Reminds me of the Rick Moranis character in Ghostbusters.
"OK; we'll have some nutritious snacks..." (door closes)
I agree that Glen is jealous or maybe he just doesn't get it. Jeff, I appreciate you having your 'stack cuz I canceled xitter and I do kinda miss it. Did you tell that guy to fuck off? This is my favorite stack and thoroughly enjoy reading the comments.
That is funny and I’ll tell whose voice I heard while reading: Billo the clown! Just read his words in Orielly’s voice it is hilarious, what a dope that one is!
Wow it’s like Glenn can’t imagine the person who would pay for something that isn’t paywalled because he’s never written any content so good it inspired readers to voluntarily pay
It’s well worth the money
I heard about Moreno's comments Monday when Rachel featured them, and my response was immediate: I donated to Sherrod Brown. Fuck these loser hard-reich idiots.
Bernie has got to be a complete idiot for saying that kind of crap. I continue to be flabbergasted that any woman could vote for a Republican. 🙄
What really shocked me was the number of women you could hear laughing when he said it. I hope it was the kind of startled laughter you sometimes hear yourself making when you've been taken utterly by surprise, and not a sign that they agreed with him and find it funny that he thinks old women have no right to have an opinion on abortion.
He was not even talking old women. Women over 50.
For MAGAts, women age out at about 35 yrs. old.
I thought it was about 16 years of age.
INTERNALIZED MISOGYNY, strikes AGAIN
When one is swimming in misogyny, it's easy to internalize it?
They always let their looney fly when they're around their fellow Loons.
Bernie is a crooked-ass car dealer. Sherrod is going to kick his ass.
❤️❤️❤️
Even Nikki Haley said "are you trying to LOSE this election?"
To me the sad thing is that a woman *married* Moreno. OMFG, woman, reflect on your life's choices! But it's worse than that. What if Moreno was the best choice?
Same
Jeff got one thing wrong, but it's really wrong. Trump is not a husk of a human being. Husks don't smell.
He is a rotting roadkill remnant of a human being corrupting into chemical weapons-grade toxic ooze. If the EPA wasn't asleep, they would declare him a hazmat Superfund site.
A waste of carbon.
Glenn doesn’t understand that when you try to make someone else look bad, you’re the one who ends up looking bad.*

I always love it when substack comments have footnotes.
They're irrelevant. And that drives those two worthless lumps of shit crazy! ( Kirsten is wearing the Emmett Kelly line.😂😂)
Lol!!
Now I will never know where she gets those incredibly shitty dresses. They are truly something to behold.
Fashion Bug at a strip mall.
I was thinking Blouse Barn in Schitt's Creek
😂😂😂 Fashion Bug! 🤣 I remember!
The two "Democratic" wrenches-in-the-works
Love it when you’re raging Susan!
Couple that with the love for this hilarious JT post, I’m still wearing a smile!!
Hell yes!!! 🥳🥳
I just couldn’t stop laughing at Jeff’s caption!!!!
"because nothing says “I’m a serious legislator” more than dressing like you’ve lost your sheep and don’t know where to find them."
made me laugh so hard I disturbed class next door and the teacher had to come to my office and tell me to quiet down.
my work here is done
😊
😂😂
THANK GOD I’m alone in my office today because I would have gotten the same complaint from how loudly I was laughing at that line
😝
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep…
so cute…
You mean to sit here and tell me that Kirsten Cinema, of the Cinema Party, and Joe Manchin, of the Would You Fucking GO Already Party, don't support the Democrat's presidential nominee?
Well! I am shocked. Or, the opposite of shocked.
Can't wait until both of them fuck off into irrelevance.
Manchin going off the deep end about the filibuster and not realizing that it was only for Roe is just a glimpse of his "outrage first and ask questions later" culture. Can't wait til that whiny little bitch is gone.
Manchenema is what I called them when they were still in office. Thank dawg they are gone gone GONE!
They're already there. They're just too dense to know it.
Hopefully, civil suits will follow the criminal suit. What tfg and Vance have done is unconscionable.
Yes! Let’s stand with our Haitian brothers and sisters!

Here’s a way to support them in Springfield through the Haitian Community Center. I have donated through their website.
Sent my donation. Thank you Vickie!
You’re welcome!
Thanks Vickie!
Your welcome!
Only unconscionable to someone with a conscience
I wholeheartedly agree
That crack about women over 50 is especially galling. Once more, a GOP politician insinuates that women who aren't bearing children are washed-up, useless, second-class citizens who don't deserve a say in public policy.
Are they really unable to comprehend that even if we don't need a right or a service ourselves, we want others to have it? I'm not Black but that doesn't mean I don't want full civil rights for Black people! I'm not gay but I want all gay people to have the same rights and privileges as everyone else!
Not so long ago that ignorant remark would have ended Moreno's political career. Now it will probably give him a boost. Sigh.
Well, according to JD, we’re still permitted to live in society if we have grandchildren to help take care of, if we even have any because of all the “post-birth abortions” our slutty daughters keep insisting upon.
Usually a Republican can rouse himself to also care about a family member, which is why some R's have seen the light on LGBT rights when a son come out, or support IVF if their wife used it. But women over 50, even Republican women over 50, often have daughters who may be of reproductive age, and such non-fertile women might care about the aspirations, health and lives of such younger female relatives even if, a Republicans, they don't care about the aspirations, health and lives of women who are strangers.
I grew up with Republicans. They really only give a shit about boys. Girls can be sold off to marry some rich asshole. It's ok to educate young women, but the goal is to marry their own kind.
BTW, I flunked Republican and was ostracized. Didn't care.
We happy you are with us, flunky!
😁👏👏👏👍
Nah. He's down 10+ points.
Imagine if men delivered babies through the heads of their penis, resulting in their penis being split open and then they’re not able to hold their pee the rest of their lives.
Thank you to all the men who support women and women’s rights.
The human race would be extinct or close to it
Caesarean abortion would then be a sacrament.
😂😂😂
I love the optics of that.
I’ve got new for that asshole Moreno - I am a 77 year old woman and I CARE DEEPLY about the abortion issue because I am not one of those fucking republicans who say “I’ve got mine so fuck you.” I am writing postcards and donating and doing everything I can to elect Harris, even tho I live in a blue state and don’t have to worry about that orange anus winning this state. I hope every woman with 2 or more functioning brain cells votes for Harris, because anything else is absolutely asinine and against your own self interests.
You may not have to worry about orange anus winning your state, but if he takes the presidency, he or his heir-apparent are as likely as not to put through a national abortion ban and perhaps even a "human life" amendment. No woman, over or under 50, is safe if Trump gets back in the White House.
Thank you for the postcard writing.
Every time I see the clip of Manchin standing on his Koch toy, I wonder if John Denver is spinning in his grave. I mean, 'Almost Heaven, West Virginia' with Joe Manchin mansplaining is not what he was thinking when he wrote Country Roads. Why would anyone vote for a car salesman for US Senate? That's as bad as a real estate salesman with 6 bankruptcies for president. Kudos to the Haitians for suing their ass. He's moved on to his next target, but be careful, Donald. Nothing runs like a Deere.
Manchin and sinema have lost any credibility. Such losers. Clowns running after the clown car. Haven’t they accrued enough money and power to be dismissed yet?
Just a few months left and they're gone.
Did they really ever have it?
What? You think Sinema wears those outfits to get attention?
She looks like a walking lemonade stand
👏👏👏👏
🤣
Remember how Kirsten always had a cast on or whatever? Something with her knee, then her wrist? I always doubted she had a real injury, just an AH.
When I heard tRump’s reassuring words that he would “take care of” me, I was overwhelmed with gratitude , and not at all inclined to roll my eyes and mutter “What a condescending p*rick!”
💯🎯
1. I had a post birth abortion when I was in college….. no, wait, it was when I had a clump of non-viable cells. Zero regrets.
2. Manchin and Sinema gone will truly be a breath of fresh air from their putrid taint. Carve that filibuster like a Thanksgiving turkey.
As a science person, I can never fully grasp how much clumps of cells matter to conservatives, whereas a living, breathing person (woman, hungry child, anyone involved in firearms violence) do not matter in the least. Crazy, backward, illogical, nonsensical are not strong enough words.
Spot on. Even a non-science person who at least had a rudimentary knowledge of how biology works should be able to grasp this.
Oh, yes, it's a facade. They want dominion over women, and reproduction is the biggest and most personal way. Being anti-science and pro-willfully ignorant also bolsters their push to prioritize frozen zygotes and Petri dishes of cells (or Peach Tree dishes per mental deficient MTG) over real people, which of course is batshit crazy. But not to them
I just wish they'd leave my genitals alone. No kidding it's batshit crazy to try to own my fucking crotch. Oh shit I wasn't going to let them piss me off today.
Right? Even over 50 ones don’t want those asshats near theirs nor their sisters, daughters, women friends etc.
It's all about dominating women, regardless of age. And they don't even care about the women in their own lives. Whatever happened to personal liberty?
They excel at pissing us off because their positions are so extreme and nuts
They want total control over others. Hence the hatred of cats and seemingly endless revelations about how proud they are of cruelly murdering ‘disobedient’ dogs. Imagine what power abuses they inflict upon kids out of public sight.
They don't care about any of it, they are using a sentimental notion as a weapon. There is no sense or reason to be found because the basic premise, that they actually care about something other than themselves, is false.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆Because they don't really care. It's just a ruse to get political power.
Bravo. Nice to have support for women from a man who's not an asshole.
The filibuster isn’t part of the constitution. It’s an invented thing by congress to be able to stall legislation, confirmations and any other things.
I think Satan (otherwise knows as McConnell) invented it. It’s way past time for him to go anyway. He’s practically fossilized.
Incredible. Manchin and Sinema are so enamored with their gum-up-the-works filibuster that they completely ignore the crucial issue of saving women's lives. And they won't even be in the Senate next term. Yes, getting praise from Kookoo Kari Lake is not a feather in your cap, Krysten.
Moreno is par for the course for MAGA. Anti-woman, clueless, idiotic, foot in mouth.
I hope the Haitian Bridge Alliance asks for a nice round number from Trump and Vance like, oh, $787 million.
