We can invite some of the immigrants who have been so highly skilled at ripping holes in Donnie Demento's border wall to attend the official blowing-up ceremony.
We can have several switches for the explosive, so that representatives from every group that Trump has harmed can participate. Nobody will know who flipped the switch that actually blew the damn thing up. Kind of like a firing squad.
I want to spray paint swastikas on it. I want there to be a defacing party. Pick your favorite derogatory meme, offensive symbol, or favorite foul smelling liquid with or without chunks, source of your choice.
OR torn down after his regime the way that we should be doing with the Confederate monuments. The way that the Sadam Hussein statue was torn down.
Also, liked on someone's Substack today where a person's someone's sign says that "We hate you so much we do this for free." I did not know what that was referencing until Jeff was telling us about this today. I mean I got the jist of who the message was for, but this makes the context clearer.
I never saw Spinal Tap! Now I'm going to have to dig up a vid of it. My list of 'musts' is growing exponentially, the more I hang out in here. ;) Gad, he's such a whiny, desperately-seeking daddy's approval little baby. Seriously, his claim to have 'built' anything is SO egregious it makes me want to scream. He NEVER BUILT A SINGLE THING! Banks provided the cash, architects created the designs; contractors, electricians, plumbers, decorators did ALL the work and every one of them got screwed out of their rightful pay as this fugly creep sat on his azz doing NOTHING but stuffing his face with McDonalds and taking credit while not having a single fucking CLUE how a building, apartment, office, casino or ANYTHING actually gets done. His sole 'contribution'? Sticking that fake-azz name on it afterwards. 'Mine, mine, all mine!' Oh, he ALSO was reported to have made some 'deals' with the mob for 'cheap-imported-concrete', usually Chinese, which is why the buildings with HIS name on them should never be trusted. In case some here still aren't aware, when the producers of that stupid show 'apprentice' showed up to film, they were appalled by the actual 'office' he used. It was horrible: the cheapest crap carpet (or linoleum) and dirty, rented, dinged up office 'furniture' they couldn't possibly use. They were forced to BUILD A SET as 'befits' an actual 'Executive' to make him appear wealthy - just for the show! Noel Caswell verifies all of this. Jeff's right about everything! frump's entire life has been smoke and mirrors.
THIS is actually true: his parents did try to help and then stop his vicious behaviour by trying everything then sending him to military school to 'fix' him. Nothing worked, unfortunately. His unrelenting attacks on his 5yr old brother when HE was 7 led to the dumping of the huge bowl of mashed potatoes on his head by his then 12yr old brother - the family collapsing with laughter, which so enraged and 'humiliated' him he's never gotten over it and is still trying to punish those who rightfully laugh at him.
Aah - I missed that. Of COURSE that's what it's for! he wants to lie IN that 'roundabout' to never be forgotten, imagining millions upon millions of people 'visiting'. He missed one thing: they'll mostly all be there to piss on him. Well, the men anyway. In this, we women are at a disadvantage. We'll have to be more creative to show how much we DESPISE this lifelong fucking rapist/pedophile.
Congrats, a seamless transition to the greatest band and movie ever, a true classic and speaking of (gagging now pls pardon me but that replica) of something inspirational oh sir, how can dear leader do it everyday. Is it Las Vegas Style Arc de dopeay don keeping up with a hundreds years old original design, Queen Elizabeth would have added more bobble stuff to it, I see blank spots that could be filled with aah focal points then sir it would match you beautiful toilet or office depending on how many stolen boxes are laying around there now, I’m thinking THEY ALL mention you and your besty EPSTEIN together and children in a bed, every page I’m sure it’s a new record sir!
That too! SO appropriate. These unfuckable incels truly believe that they (only they) are somehow 'entitled' to get the MOST BEAUTIFUL of women, model/actress types as their girlfriends, wives, whatever. Even as 'one-night stands'. They've convinced themselves that THEY are the 'prizes' not the women who exist purely for their 'pleasure' no matter how degrading or vicious. SO MANY of them don't even have the required financial status they imagine puts them into 'qualifying status' but no matter, they live in a fantasy gamers world where they're entitled to anything they want. Their 'king' has told them so. And, in fact - they see how he's lived his degenerate life so imagine they're just like him, only 'better'.
Jeff returns us to sanity, just in time to be driven insane again by the next day’s news cycle. He’s the “reset button” we need every day. However you know something’s very, very wrong with a system or piece of equipment if you must hit the reset button over and over again
Maybe it's because I'm female and have been around the block a few times -- I came of political age in 1968 -- but it takes more than a fucked-up president, presidential administration, and Congress to drive me around the bend. What it does is make me angrier and more determined. We've been heading in this direction at least since the onset of Reagan -- and I could make a pretty good case that it goes back to the backlash against Reconstruction (aka Jim Crow) and the Gilded Age, which were happening at more or less the same time.
I'm right there with you - 18 years old in 1968 but started becoming politically aware in 1963 with the civil rights movement and the horrors going on in the South.
I'm sure Mrs. Spouse appreciates you far more than even we do, so IF you walk around a wee bit jauntily with a swelled head every so often, I'm positive she's 'been there, done that' and laughs it off. Women who're long-term married to smart, funny men are themselves very, very special - AND likely who 'lies behind' how you manage it all. And you can tell her I said so. I'd vouchsafe we all appreciate HER for being your Mrs. Spouse just so you can keep us all sane.
He's my Rep and I hate him with the energy of a thousand suns. He's a total d*ck who apparently didn't get the message when he was shot years ago. He's dealing with cancer now, but no worries since Congressional healthcare is much better than yours or mine.
That makes his NOT standing up against frump's most recent attacks on Joe Biden even MORE egregious! frump having the utter nerve to talk about his own legs maybe being a little bit wider than Joe's 'skinny' ones, then going on to show VIDEOS of Biden at the beach and insulting him, claiming that he couldn't lift a 3-lb chair...on and on and on and on. He's OBSESSED with Joe Biden and his still being alive and thin, lying in a beach chair despite fighting Stage FOUR prostate cancer! frump is the most resentful and vile POS and Scalise not saying SOMETHING IF he too is dealing with cancer speaks volumes about how disgusting HE is.
To think scalise was ON VIDEO (caught by Nancy Pelosi's film-maker daughter) DURING the evacuation of the Capitol on Jan6th, standing just off to her left and PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION as she and Chuck Schumer CALLED the WH over and over and over BEGGING FOR the National Guard, calling everyone they could think of. Now THEY were safe in an off-site location, you can see other republicans laughing and joking - not a care in the World; but Nancy knew her staff had taken refuge in her office and was obviously worried about their safety, as she was about everyone else left behind, as well as all of those Capitol Police beaten to the point of death by the insurrectionists. Her and Chuck Schumer's voices kept rising as they were fobbed off BY the WH - refusing to take their calls AND refusing to send help! Scalise is seen standing RIGHT THERE and LISTENING INTENTLY! Later, he claimed either not to have been there OR that neither Pelosi nor Schumer did anything to get help! AND then the lies started about it being HER responsibility to call out the Guard. Wut?! The lyingest liar! I'd originally felt sorry for him after he was a target but now? I LOATHE him for this HUGE and DAMNED LIE designed to harm Democrats and to curry more favour with his orange 'lord and master'. He's a shitweasel if there ever was one.
Aw hell, now we got to scramble around and try to get five million specially-labeled umbrellas printed up with Soro's logo. The corporate fulfillment center is going to be pissed.
yknow, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris didn't act like pissbabies with massive grievances when people protested them. Although also they didn't face massive protests of hundreds of thousands around the country because neither of them were malevolently destroying the nation for profit and control for the unreconstructed.
one of my favorite lines from the campaign was when a bunch of hecklers tried to interrupt a Harris rally and she said "I think you're looking for the smaller rally down the street"
The hilarious (not) part is that, during the campaign, VP Harris was showered with praise for running a "near perfect" campaign. It was, I think, about 7:26 PM on Election Night when MSM suddenly decided it was the WORST EVER.
I can't believe all the swing states went for trump. I will admit that maybe I was a bit delusional and overly hopeful toward the end of the campaign, or saw what I wanted to see vis a vis yard signs, etc. But the extent to which T supposedly captured so many counties and states defies belief.
Awfully close race to cal it in - 4hours(?) huh. And he KEPT SAYING they already ‘had the votes’ prior… and gave credit to Leon later…why should we ignore comments like that? Oh that’s right - it would be UNSEEMLY🙄 UN.REAL.
It's struck me as odd that Harris conceded before all the votes were counted, and then immediately abandoned any idea of audits/recounts in such a close race.
Kerry did the same in 2004, when the Ohio results were highly questionable, to say the least.
I fucking hate that guy. I fucking hate all of those fucking fuckers. And I always will. The lights are on and the roaches are running all over the place. It’s disgusting, but I reckon we got to fumigate.
1. If everyone who is protesting was getting paid, this country would grind to a halt as no one would be working their actual jobs. Call it a National Strike Day.
2. Trump’s arch will be based on McDonald’s arches. Probably spray painted gold as well.
And the Italians, too, or at least they were at one time. Short story: I was in Florence years ago and hunted down the office that distributed printed events of the week. They came out on Thursdays and I was there, on Thursday. When I asked where they might be, the guy in the office, hunched his shoulders, with only the slightest hint of apology. Translation: “They’ll be here when they arrive. Don’t sweat it, Americano.” TRUTH BOMB
Even better would be a boycott on spending money on everything except groceries. A week long at minimum, and during the run-up to the holidays would be devastating. That's what I want for Christmas and my birthday on New Year's Eve. I'm telling my kids to wait until after the holidays to give gifts, though we'll still get together.
We should do that every year. No child over 10 should get a Christmas gift. We already take good care of them every day. Grinch here. It just gets kind of crazy when you have a huge family and have to give everyone some gadget that they will never use.
Arne, that is part of why I exited the US for good, it’s all so fake including the mega church crap, fake thrills and spills, fake kindness. Hate is deadly and real.
I practically do that anyway, unless I'm going to a local small shop to purchase whatever they sell, like handmade soap, non-plastic toothbrushes, etc.
We have been celebrating “Kirkmas” (our last name+) several days - one year, 3 weeks - after Christmas for several years so our daughters-in-law can be with their families on the 25th. The youngest kids are teens, and everyone appreciates it.
Not all. If not a soul showed up for work for one day-except healthcare folks-the effect would be incredible. I’m going to do some reading on France. Evidently it had some impact 🤷♀️. Hell, I’ll try anything!
Our small town had 5,000 protesters at the last No Kings rally according to the local newspaper. This time they have set up two different locations because they are expecting a lot more people.
www.nokings.org -- find your local tribe, make a sign, and show TF up. This is NOT a drill.
People often say "what can I do?" about all the Trump fuckery. SHOW UP. thatʻs what you can do. Sign or no sign. Bring a small American flag if you have one.
Jeff, “crossing the line” as stated by Holy Mike.. say hey Mike.. do you think that “firing projectiles from Navy ships in the Pacific to Camp Pendleton “ is crossing the line? Or shutting down sections of I-5 for this adventure on the same day as No Kings? What could go wrong? Maybe fires at the Camp? Golf with MAGAS” was very quiet except for one issue.. These MAGAS were supportive of sending troops into cities. I asked them how elections worked… you vote for someone they get elected and promote policies appoint people… municipal, state or federal elections. I explained that when you send troops into cities you are usurping the people’s voice and that’s not how Democracy works.. let’s begin to talk about States Rights, a phrase from the cons since the late 50’s…. No one replied because they know in fact they are done with Democracy… Well I’m not. Best to all.
I appreciate your concern. As I have explained I really don’t talk that much during a MAGAs conversation, however if they error on the facts, law or evidence I come down like a ton of bricks. My wife says these guys don’t challenge me due to my knowledge of history and law and their lack of either.
Your forbearance just being around such ignoramuses is legion. As we have established here ad nauseum, if after all the shit trump pulled like the insurrection, stolen documents, election interference, and now all the DOGE crap, open police state behavior, and repeated violations of the Constitution, anyone who still supports him is okay with all that, as well as the racism, misogyny, corruption, traitorous behavior, grifting, waste, and murder that he is perpetrating. Which means the MAGA golfers are absolute scum. So for me, I would not be able to even look at them, much less listen to their fucking ridiculous worship of him without thoughts of violence going through my head. This is just another toxic by product of MAGA-seeding anger and hate in response to them. I do not want to feel this way, but they engender it in my thoughts.
If they're done with democracy they can take their happy asses off to North Korea or Russia. See how they like democracy in those places. There is a reason my great grandparents left Russia in early 1880's. Life under the czar wasn't pleasant for jews.
States Rights? I thought that dated back to the pre-civil war. But California can certainly claim States Rights. And Nations rights, for that matter. You do know that even now, this area of Southern California is, along with the Valley, where t's support in California is, right? And where his golf club is. Who picked this? Someone who's still in kindergarten?
Yep, as FF said conservatives invoke states' rights to defend owning slaves or suppressing minority voters or any of the evil oppressive shit they pull. So it's funny when we point out states' rights to resist this turn to open authoritarianism.
My sign for Saturday is UNPAID PROTESTER. Meidas Touch Network reports that Donny is so afraid of No Kings day that he's going to have a Navy vessel off the coast of San Diego fire missles into Camp Pendleton. Celebratory missles donchaknow in honor of the Marines, fired across one of the most populated urban landscapes in California. They're going to close down I-5, the major north/south route. The whole point is upstaging and blocking protest. If this is bullshit, somebody weigh in.
Somehow I suspect that this will bring more people to the protest. Doesn't having water to ground missiles going over your head sound like a great reason to demand a change in government!
Oceanside, California is my hometown. My father was a career Marine. I can’t imagine the point of firing live missiles into Pendleton, are they trying to kill people or start fires? I am so effing sick of their destructive shit.
Every time that I have to attend meetings in Harvard Square, the epicenter of woke, I keep expecting to come under missile fire from the regime. Thankfully I get to hang out during lunch people watching, reveling in the diversity.
more than hope? false flag? This nonsense sounds fricking crazy to me, what with Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand at the Department of Masculine Identity Issues and the entire rest of the crew of incompetents who shouldn't be anywhere near a launch button--ANY launch button.
This is pure intimidation tactics and a distraction for the gullible legacy media, so they won't focus on the 12+ million who will turn out for this NO KINGS/WE LOVE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY rally.
I totally don't understand this, and I've read about it in several places. Are they meaning to shoot missiles INTO a Marine training base? Missiles that will explode? I mean, obviously, there has to be a lot of open ground, but how would they expect to contain the blast radius and control the damage? To me, this sounds insane. It isn't hand grenade practice. But maybe I just don't know enough about this stuff...?
Yeah, it's bullshit. But we're playing Whack-A-Mole and Donny has only a few mallets, and most of those are merely ceremonial.
The Meidas guys? No, I don't trust them worth a shit. They click-bait you in with some 'catastrophe' headline and then just breathlessly blather about shit I already know. They're just noisy.
In their defense - they ARE trying to provide left-wing pushback to 🦊 hyperbole… a counterweight? I factor that in… sometimes a little over-the-top helps morale IDK
How I long for the days when Trump was screwing over contractors, Holy Mike was busy monitoring his son's porn usage, JD was romancing couches and we had normalcy in the Oval Office. It seems a distant memory now.
Yes those days before all this Epstein mussy stuff all those kids had to do was be raped repeatedly that way they learned how to survive and be somebody.
Scalise and the entire cadre of lying assholes are beneath contempt. They are using America in the worst way, and for what? Fucking power and money, lubed by racism and misogyny. Fucking shitstains on our history and a threat to our future. Fuck them to hell
"you can’t claim to love America when you hate half the people who live in it."
Amen. Also, I think only half is giving them too much credit. They loathe their own cult members, too.
The $40 billion to Argentina should be the tipping point for any of the "America First" clowns, but, of course, if the richest guys get another bag full of cash from the deal, it's a-okay.
And now RFK, Jr. is saying we have to stop trusting the experts. He says everybody should "Do thEIr Own ReSEarCH". As if the average person has the time or, frankly, the brain power to do that. And I include myself in that category. Not to mention that he misses the obvious end point to that - if, somehow, we did all manage to do that, then we would all be experts, but no one should listen to us. How does that work?
I have to wonder, if RFK, Jr.'s car breaks down is he going to take it to his accountant? If he needed open heart surgery, would he call a plumber? These people just have their heads so far up their own ass, they can't realize how stupid they sound.
Is there no one left to shut down Trump’s spending spree at least until ACA subsidies are restored&Medicaid is in place?
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the person sending money to Argentina, giving big tax breaks to cronies&building monuments to himself is really the person who hates America.
Essentially there is no money to spend right now. (Yeah, yeah, budget analysts. I know it’s more complicated than that.)
The ballroom is being built with private funds. So too will the arch probably. So that gets around not having a budget. If it’s being built with government dollars, then one of his suckophants will be in Big trouble for fiscal law violations.
If you think Trump is not spending federal money you haven’t looked at the debt/deficit.
$20billian+$20billion = $40billion to Argentina.
We pay taxes to take care of the American people. Hospitals, schools, roads, infra structure. Social Security would be just fine if Ronald Reagan didn’t loot it. Please don’t tell me there’s no money for ACA subsidies&Medicaid.
And private funds are paying for unapproved plans for Trump is just horse crap.
I confess. that whole last section was just an excuse to use the Spinal Tap gif
Makes sense. This insanity of the trump regime goes all the way up to 11.
That gif is a classic
Think about this! It will be so much fun blowing up the fucking arch! 💥🧨💥🧨💥🧨💥
We can invite some of the immigrants who have been so highly skilled at ripping holes in Donnie Demento's border wall to attend the official blowing-up ceremony.
We can have several switches for the explosive, so that representatives from every group that Trump has harmed can participate. Nobody will know who flipped the switch that actually blew the damn thing up. Kind of like a firing squad.
After getting rid of the White House "ballroom".
And that butt ugly chintzy cement paved patio where a beautiful rose garden USED to be.
That will be restored. I feel certain of it. That shitty patio is not long for this world.
Natch!
Ahhhhh, a firing squad. A young girl's dreams turn to firing squads these days.
Didn't the orange venomous one actually talk about 'a firing squad' for his political opponent first? He put the idea in our heads!
I want to vomit all over it first (I’m thinking pepperoni pizza), so please don’t blow it up until I’ve had a chance to do that. 😖
I want to spray paint swastikas on it. I want there to be a defacing party. Pick your favorite derogatory meme, offensive symbol, or favorite foul smelling liquid with or without chunks, source of your choice.
And it will be a great opportunity for grafetti artists! D. C. Will be worse than Athens!
Well played!
If Trump puts up that arch. It'll be pissed on more than anything in DC.
I look forward to seeing this ridiculous monument to himself trampled on by a dwarf.
OR torn down after his regime the way that we should be doing with the Confederate monuments. The way that the Sadam Hussein statue was torn down.
Also, liked on someone's Substack today where a person's someone's sign says that "We hate you so much we do this for free." I did not know what that was referencing until Jeff was telling us about this today. I mean I got the jist of who the message was for, but this makes the context clearer.
Perhaps when all this is over, we can tear down the buildings he built without paying the workers.
That would include most of his private real estate as well. Trump is notorious for not paying.
Mike Johnson might be busy.
LOL! 👏👏👏
Tap into America, uncle Jeff! And so say all of us.
I never saw Spinal Tap! Now I'm going to have to dig up a vid of it. My list of 'musts' is growing exponentially, the more I hang out in here. ;) Gad, he's such a whiny, desperately-seeking daddy's approval little baby.

Jeff's right about everything! frump's entire life has been smoke and mirrors.
Yeah...we have him for our figurehead Prez all thanks to the rehab job by Mark Burnett. Thanks a bunch, Mark. May mark and Donny both die as paupers.
He became an unloved adult before he became an unloved baby.
THIS is actually true: his parents did try to help and then stop his vicious behaviour by trying everything then sending him to military school to 'fix' him. Nothing worked, unfortunately. His unrelenting attacks on his 5yr old brother when HE was 7 led to the dumping of the huge bowl of mashed potatoes on his head by his then 12yr old brother - the family collapsing with laughter, which so enraged and 'humiliated' him he's never gotten over it and is still trying to punish those who rightfully laugh at him.
So now we know his backstory. Let's break this down and pause for a martini before we continue....
He'll want it to be his tombstone. It's never over with that fuckhead.
Aah - I missed that. Of COURSE that's what it's for! he wants to lie IN that 'roundabout' to never be forgotten, imagining millions upon millions of people 'visiting'. He missed one thing: they'll mostly all be there to piss on him. Well, the men anyway. In this, we women are at a disadvantage. We'll have to be more creative to show how much we DESPISE this lifelong fucking rapist/pedophile.
You could just bag some urine. We ladies have to do our part. Wherever he is buried the stench of urine and feces will rise into the stratosphere.
Archeologists hundreds of years from now will find him not by digging but by projectile vomiting from the smell.
Squirt bottles come to mind.
I heard that “his” Hollywood star was dug up because they couldn’t keep it clean (from I assume pee and poop). HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Still there, but often vandalized.
It ought to be dug up and disposed of.
I'm okay with that as long as it's NOW.
Its happening now,its just painfully slow.
Congrats, a seamless transition to the greatest band and movie ever, a true classic and speaking of (gagging now pls pardon me but that replica) of something inspirational oh sir, how can dear leader do it everyday. Is it Las Vegas Style Arc de dopeay don keeping up with a hundreds years old original design, Queen Elizabeth would have added more bobble stuff to it, I see blank spots that could be filled with aah focal points then sir it would match you beautiful toilet or office depending on how many stolen boxes are laying around there now, I’m thinking THEY ALL mention you and your besty EPSTEIN together and children in a bed, every page I’m sure it’s a new record sir!
Needs more gold leaf!
Too bad being a Trump Cabinet Secretary isn't like being a Spinal Tap drummer.
Maybe the mad king will play drums….
It's perfect!
As i was reading, I thought "Spinal Tap stonehenge"
Me too - as I was reading, then BAM, there it was.
Well done. Very much appreciated
"white supremacy's middle manager" lmaooooooooooooo
I've called him that before. I'm kinda proud of it
I'm partial to "unfuckable shitkazoos" myself.
As Dave Barry would say, good name for a band! 😁
Jeff has called out many good names for punk bands. Thank God for Jeff.
Perfect description. That Walker guy looks like the Flounder character in Animal House, who was called, "fat, drunk, and stupid," by the dean.
"That's no way to go through life, son." Hell, that's the GOP default setting.
LOL! True DAT!!
That too! SO appropriate. These unfuckable incels truly believe that they (only they) are somehow 'entitled' to get the MOST BEAUTIFUL of women, model/actress types as their girlfriends, wives, whatever. Even as 'one-night stands'. They've convinced themselves that THEY are the 'prizes' not the women who exist purely for their 'pleasure' no matter how degrading or vicious. SO MANY of them don't even have the required financial status they imagine puts them into 'qualifying status' but no matter, they live in a fantasy gamers world where they're entitled to anything they want. Their 'king' has told them so. And, in fact - they see how he's lived his degenerate life so imagine they're just like him, only 'better'.
Yeah, another entry for the Tiedrich lexicon.
Me too!
It's golden. You are a treasure.
Jeff Tiedrich has saved me thousands in shrink bills. Keeping me sane? Priceless!
Jeff returns us to sanity, just in time to be driven insane again by the next day’s news cycle. He’s the “reset button” we need every day. However you know something’s very, very wrong with a system or piece of equipment if you must hit the reset button over and over again

I'm right there with you - 18 years old in 1968 but started becoming politically aware in 1963 with the civil rights movement and the horrors going on in the South.
I think your timeline is spot-on, Susanna. The current crop of monsters are the descendants of the GOPers who despised FDR and his New Deal.
I wish I had a buck for every time I have typed "Jeff Tiedrich is a national treasure."
you folks are just making me insufferable to live with
I’m sure Mrs. Spouse keeps you humble.
Ms. Spouse plays Rock of Gibraltar to Jeff's Lunatic Clown.
Do tell! You have to do the dishes every night, right?
I'm sure Mrs. Spouse appreciates you far more than even we do, so IF you walk around a wee bit jauntily with a swelled head every so often, I'm positive she's 'been there, done that' and laughs it off. Women who're long-term married to smart, funny men are themselves very, very special - AND likely who 'lies behind' how you manage it all. And you can tell her I said so. I'd vouchsafe we all appreciate HER for being your Mrs. Spouse just so you can keep us all sane.
Are you sure we're the reason?😉
He's my Rep and I hate him with the energy of a thousand suns. He's a total d*ck who apparently didn't get the message when he was shot years ago. He's dealing with cancer now, but no worries since Congressional healthcare is much better than yours or mine.
Well, let's hope that the big C gets him sooner rather than later.
That makes his NOT standing up against frump's most recent attacks on Joe Biden even MORE egregious! frump having the utter nerve to talk about his own legs maybe being a little bit wider than Joe's 'skinny' ones, then going on to show VIDEOS of Biden at the beach and insulting him, claiming that he couldn't lift a 3-lb chair...on and on and on and on. He's OBSESSED with Joe Biden and his still being alive and thin, lying in a beach chair despite fighting Stage FOUR prostate cancer! frump is the most resentful and vile POS and Scalise not saying SOMETHING IF he too is dealing with cancer speaks volumes about how disgusting HE is.
I can’t wish that on anyone. I just wish he would shut up, to quote Nancy P. You would think his tribulations would have softened his heart, but nope.
He’s up there with the WI Rep DVO! Biggest liar this side of 🍊🤡. So afraid to have town halls because of all his lies.
It’s perfect and exactly right
To think scalise was ON VIDEO (caught by Nancy Pelosi's film-maker daughter) DURING the evacuation of the Capitol on Jan6th, standing just off to her left and PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION as she and Chuck Schumer CALLED the WH over and over and over BEGGING FOR the National Guard, calling everyone they could think of. Now THEY were safe in an off-site location, you can see other republicans laughing and joking - not a care in the World; but Nancy knew her staff had taken refuge in her office and was obviously worried about their safety, as she was about everyone else left behind, as well as all of those Capitol Police beaten to the point of death by the insurrectionists. Her and Chuck Schumer's voices kept rising as they were fobbed off BY the WH - refusing to take their calls AND refusing to send help! Scalise is seen standing RIGHT THERE and LISTENING INTENTLY! Later, he claimed either not to have been there OR that neither Pelosi nor Schumer did anything to get help! AND then the lies started about it being HER responsibility to call out the Guard. Wut?! The lyingest liar! I'd originally felt sorry for him after he was a target but now? I LOATHE him for this HUGE and DAMNED LIE designed to harm Democrats and to curry more favour with his orange 'lord and master'. He's a shitweasel if there ever was one.
Jeff? You’re funny
You should be! May I borrow it?
I swear, nobody can do hilariously sarcastic descriptions of assholes better than Jeff!
Oh shit! I stopped by ANTIFA HQ today to pick up my swag, and there was no umbrella inside the tote bag. Now I’m really pissed.
Aw hell, now we got to scramble around and try to get five million specially-labeled umbrellas printed up with Soro's logo. The corporate fulfillment center is going to be pissed.
I like how someone said If protesters are really getting paid, then why don't you Republicans sign up, get paid, and expose the whole thing!?
First reporter to say that to a GOP member of Congress or Prez Fuckwit should get a Pulitzer.
Never thought of that, but it will henceforth be used by this antifa follower.
Maybe Soros can just cut us bigger checks, and we’ll forgive him for the umbrella oversight.
Yeh, well I am still waiting for my check from the last No Kings Protest. I think that Soros story is bunkum!
Lordy, I haven’t heard/seen that word since the ark landed! Thank you!!😊
Did you notice the time Biden used the term "malarkey"? I still say billfold instead of wallet.
jeez, I still say malarkey once in a while.
Maybe, but so far the cheap old bastard has been all promises and no cabbage.
Gold. Absolute gold. I’m saluting you from my living room! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🌟🌟👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the heads up Stephanie. I would’ve been really disappointed AND pissed to have made the trek and found no umbrella 😳
Are you 4imprint certain?
yknow, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris didn't act like pissbabies with massive grievances when people protested them. Although also they didn't face massive protests of hundreds of thousands around the country because neither of them were malevolently destroying the nation for profit and control for the unreconstructed.
one of my favorite lines from the campaign was when a bunch of hecklers tried to interrupt a Harris rally and she said "I think you're looking for the smaller rally down the street"
She was a lot better on the campaign trail than she is now being given credit for. And with little time to prepare or strategize.
The hilarious (not) part is that, during the campaign, VP Harris was showered with praise for running a "near perfect" campaign. It was, I think, about 7:26 PM on Election Night when MSM suddenly decided it was the WORST EVER.
Yes, they realized they had to suck up, and haven't stopped fellating the orange orc ever since.
Plus who knows - she mighta even WON?…🤫🫠💙
I'll always wonder, and I'm normally not a conspiracy maven.
I don't wonder. I'm sure. Do I have irrefutable proof? Nope. But there was a reason that Rump tolerated Elon's stealing his thunder for so long.
I can't believe all the swing states went for trump. I will admit that maybe I was a bit delusional and overly hopeful toward the end of the campaign, or saw what I wanted to see vis a vis yard signs, etc. But the extent to which T supposedly captured so many counties and states defies belief.
Also, why would he tell his maggats “you don’t even have to vote” hmmm 🤔
She did win. There was fuckery, as Jeff would say. The person at This Will Stand lays it all out.
DEMS: “Ceding As Much Ground As Possible Since 2000”??? 😒
Not familiar with the reference, arne...?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Mighta…???
Awfully close race to cal it in - 4hours(?) huh. And he KEPT SAYING they already ‘had the votes’ prior… and gave credit to Leon later…why should we ignore comments like that? Oh that’s right - it would be UNSEEMLY🙄 UN.REAL.
It's struck me as odd that Harris conceded before all the votes were counted, and then immediately abandoned any idea of audits/recounts in such a close race.
Kerry did the same in 2004, when the Ohio results were highly questionable, to say the least.
That was devastating. I almost fell out of my seat when she said that.
Yeah that was a Brilliant reply
👏👏👏
"unfuckable shitkazoos" I just wrote that one down. 😂
"White Supremacy Middle Manager"...HAHA. Scalise is hideous.
All of this shit is worse than a bad dream cause we're living it. FORTY BILLION to Argentina? And people cant afford to eat in the good old USA.
I hate it here.
Hey that is OUR MONEY! The PEOPLES MONEY. SCUM BAGS!!
Their intent is clear:
GET RID OF ALL GOVERNMENT WORKERS AND LET THE COUNTRY HO TO SHIT.
NO MEDICAL
NO LIBRARIES
NO SCHOOLS
NO MAIL
OLIGARCHS LIVING FAT ON THE LAND
POORLY RUN JAILS
STARVING PEOPLE
HUNDREDS OF DEATHS
THEY THINK THAT THEY WILL HAVE EVERYTHING LIVE HIGH ON THE LAND
THEY ARE SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!!
GO FUCKING MARCH
GO FUCKIN MARCH!!!!!
They will soon find out that poor people don't make very lucrative consumers....
I hate him!
"unfuckable shitkazoos"
Oh. Your kung fu is greater than mine, I must bow. And steal the shit out of it.
It is more bail outs of the billionaires with our money. Why I want to cut him off like a drunk in a saloon who is mean and starting fights.
me too. I hate everything...
:(
The Repugnants and tRUMP make it so so easy to hate here 😡🤬
I fucking hate that guy. I fucking hate all of those fucking fuckers. And I always will. The lights are on and the roaches are running all over the place. It’s disgusting, but I reckon we got to fumigate.
1. If everyone who is protesting was getting paid, this country would grind to a halt as no one would be working their actual jobs. Call it a National Strike Day.
2. Trump’s arch will be based on McDonald’s arches. Probably spray painted gold as well.
Actually, we NEED a National Strike day. Didnt they do that in France? Got their attention.
The French are the lords of general strikes. We need to import some as consultants to advise us on how it's done.
And the Italians, too, or at least they were at one time. Short story: I was in Florence years ago and hunted down the office that distributed printed events of the week. They came out on Thursdays and I was there, on Thursday. When I asked where they might be, the guy in the office, hunched his shoulders, with only the slightest hint of apology. Translation: “They’ll be here when they arrive. Don’t sweat it, Americano.” TRUTH BOMB
Jeffries & Schumer might have to run it by the…donors? 😡
Oh, I know! It's focus-group time! Yayyyy!!!
Haha Yes
Where’s Lafayette when we need him?
Yes!!
Even better would be a boycott on spending money on everything except groceries. A week long at minimum, and during the run-up to the holidays would be devastating. That's what I want for Christmas and my birthday on New Year's Eve. I'm telling my kids to wait until after the holidays to give gifts, though we'll still get together.
We should do that every year. No child over 10 should get a Christmas gift. We already take good care of them every day. Grinch here. It just gets kind of crazy when you have a huge family and have to give everyone some gadget that they will never use.
Arne, that is part of why I exited the US for good, it’s all so fake including the mega church crap, fake thrills and spills, fake kindness. Hate is deadly and real.
I would leave but I'm really too old to start over. Good for you, though.
Well, I like books, even used ones...
Books are the best. I loved to get books when I was a kid.
I practically do that anyway, unless I'm going to a local small shop to purchase whatever they sell, like handmade soap, non-plastic toothbrushes, etc.
👏👏👏👏
We have been celebrating “Kirkmas” (our last name+) several days - one year, 3 weeks - after Christmas for several years so our daughters-in-law can be with their families on the 25th. The youngest kids are teens, and everyone appreciates it.
My thought too
I don't know if it would be effective. It seems that most people have already been laid off...
Not all. If not a soul showed up for work for one day-except healthcare folks-the effect would be incredible. I’m going to do some reading on France. Evidently it had some impact 🤷♀️. Hell, I’ll try anything!
Yep, the Golden Haunches.
Zero logic.
But what moves people anyway?
Stories.
Our small town had 5,000 protesters at the last No Kings rally according to the local newspaper. This time they have set up two different locations because they are expecting a lot more people.
www.nokings.org -- find your local tribe, make a sign, and show TF up. This is NOT a drill.
People often say "what can I do?" about all the Trump fuckery. SHOW UP. thatʻs what you can do. Sign or no sign. Bring a small American flag if you have one.
You could gather a numerous brigade of ‘MiniHunis’ perfect for the No kings day parade.
I thought we were all getting perfectly matched signs made in Soros's sign and umbrella factory.
Jeff, “crossing the line” as stated by Holy Mike.. say hey Mike.. do you think that “firing projectiles from Navy ships in the Pacific to Camp Pendleton “ is crossing the line? Or shutting down sections of I-5 for this adventure on the same day as No Kings? What could go wrong? Maybe fires at the Camp? Golf with MAGAS” was very quiet except for one issue.. These MAGAS were supportive of sending troops into cities. I asked them how elections worked… you vote for someone they get elected and promote policies appoint people… municipal, state or federal elections. I explained that when you send troops into cities you are usurping the people’s voice and that’s not how Democracy works.. let’s begin to talk about States Rights, a phrase from the cons since the late 50’s…. No one replied because they know in fact they are done with Democracy… Well I’m not. Best to all.
Every time I see your posts I marvel at how you resist taking a golf club to their stupid heads.
That's what I said to Fredo the other week. I would have taken a nine iron to one of them already.
I appreciate your concern. As I have explained I really don’t talk that much during a MAGAs conversation, however if they error on the facts, law or evidence I come down like a ton of bricks. My wife says these guys don’t challenge me due to my knowledge of history and law and their lack of either.
Your forbearance just being around such ignoramuses is legion. As we have established here ad nauseum, if after all the shit trump pulled like the insurrection, stolen documents, election interference, and now all the DOGE crap, open police state behavior, and repeated violations of the Constitution, anyone who still supports him is okay with all that, as well as the racism, misogyny, corruption, traitorous behavior, grifting, waste, and murder that he is perpetrating. Which means the MAGA golfers are absolute scum. So for me, I would not be able to even look at them, much less listen to their fucking ridiculous worship of him without thoughts of violence going through my head. This is just another toxic by product of MAGA-seeding anger and hate in response to them. I do not want to feel this way, but they engender it in my thoughts.
If they're done with democracy they can take their happy asses off to North Korea or Russia. See how they like democracy in those places. There is a reason my great grandparents left Russia in early 1880's. Life under the czar wasn't pleasant for jews.
Same with my great grandparents.. straight out of the shetel.
Democracy is done with them too.
Truly boots-on-the-ground work, FF! MUCH appreciated…🙏⛳️
States Rights? I thought that dated back to the pre-civil war. But California can certainly claim States Rights. And Nations rights, for that matter. You do know that even now, this area of Southern California is, along with the Valley, where t's support in California is, right? And where his golf club is. Who picked this? Someone who's still in kindergarten?
Yep, as FF said conservatives invoke states' rights to defend owning slaves or suppressing minority voters or any of the evil oppressive shit they pull. So it's funny when we point out states' rights to resist this turn to open authoritarianism.
My sign for Saturday is UNPAID PROTESTER. Meidas Touch Network reports that Donny is so afraid of No Kings day that he's going to have a Navy vessel off the coast of San Diego fire missles into Camp Pendleton. Celebratory missles donchaknow in honor of the Marines, fired across one of the most populated urban landscapes in California. They're going to close down I-5, the major north/south route. The whole point is upstaging and blocking protest. If this is bullshit, somebody weigh in.
Somehow I suspect that this will bring more people to the protest. Doesn't having water to ground missiles going over your head sound like a great reason to demand a change in government!
Winning hearts and minds through intimidation.
Oceanside, California is my hometown. My father was a career Marine. I can’t imagine the point of firing live missiles into Pendleton, are they trying to kill people or start fires? I am so effing sick of their destructive shit.
I know the area well. This plan is so nuts. I wonder if they hope a missle will go awry.
Every time that I have to attend meetings in Harvard Square, the epicenter of woke, I keep expecting to come under missile fire from the regime. Thankfully I get to hang out during lunch people watching, reveling in the diversity.
I spent a year in Cambridge ages ago. Fond memories.
more than hope? false flag? This nonsense sounds fricking crazy to me, what with Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand at the Department of Masculine Identity Issues and the entire rest of the crew of incompetents who shouldn't be anywhere near a launch button--ANY launch button.
This is pure intimidation tactics and a distraction for the gullible legacy media, so they won't focus on the 12+ million who will turn out for this NO KINGS/WE LOVE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY rally.
Probably. After all, only Antifas will die.
You WONDER? It would be a lifetime dream achieved by President Nosferatu.
Little mushroom man wants to feel big
I totally don't understand this, and I've read about it in several places. Are they meaning to shoot missiles INTO a Marine training base? Missiles that will explode? I mean, obviously, there has to be a lot of open ground, but how would they expect to contain the blast radius and control the damage? To me, this sounds insane. It isn't hand grenade practice. But maybe I just don't know enough about this stuff...?
This, on a larger scale, is like me observing two of my cats trying to get into the same cardboard box at the same time: "This will end in tears."
Not bullshit from what I’ve read. What a bunch of a-holes!
Yeah, it's bullshit. But we're playing Whack-A-Mole and Donny has only a few mallets, and most of those are merely ceremonial.
The Meidas guys? No, I don't trust them worth a shit. They click-bait you in with some 'catastrophe' headline and then just breathlessly blather about shit I already know. They're just noisy.
You have a point there. The posts hardly ever deliver the promise of the hyperbolic headline. I'll take another look.
In their defense - they ARE trying to provide left-wing pushback to 🦊 hyperbole… a counterweight? I factor that in… sometimes a little over-the-top helps morale IDK
Unfuckingbelievable.
I think my sign is WE'RE TAKING BACK the CROWN
OMG!
How I long for the days when Trump was screwing over contractors, Holy Mike was busy monitoring his son's porn usage, JD was romancing couches and we had normalcy in the Oval Office. It seems a distant memory now.
"sharing his son's porn usage." Fixed that part.....
Yes those days before all this Epstein mussy stuff all those kids had to do was be raped repeatedly that way they learned how to survive and be somebody.
Do these fuckers have an off button? Their fuckery has no bottom.
Scalise and the entire cadre of lying assholes are beneath contempt. They are using America in the worst way, and for what? Fucking power and money, lubed by racism and misogyny. Fucking shitstains on our history and a threat to our future. Fuck them to hell
Well spoken righteous anger, Sir. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"you can’t claim to love America when you hate half the people who live in it."
Amen. Also, I think only half is giving them too much credit. They loathe their own cult members, too.
The $40 billion to Argentina should be the tipping point for any of the "America First" clowns, but, of course, if the richest guys get another bag full of cash from the deal, it's a-okay.
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people
Maga
Thousands of years ago, that race established their tradition of stupid idol worship and antipathy to reason, science, and fact.
And now RFK, Jr. is saying we have to stop trusting the experts. He says everybody should "Do thEIr Own ReSEarCH". As if the average person has the time or, frankly, the brain power to do that. And I include myself in that category. Not to mention that he misses the obvious end point to that - if, somehow, we did all manage to do that, then we would all be experts, but no one should listen to us. How does that work?
I have to wonder, if RFK, Jr.'s car breaks down is he going to take it to his accountant? If he needed open heart surgery, would he call a plumber? These people just have their heads so far up their own ass, they can't realize how stupid they sound.
I believe he is certifiably nuts. So naturally Jabba the Dump puts him in charge of the nation's health. We are so screwed.
Is there no one left to shut down Trump’s spending spree at least until ACA subsidies are restored&Medicaid is in place?
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the person sending money to Argentina, giving big tax breaks to cronies&building monuments to himself is really the person who hates America.
MAGAts cannot see that. They are definitely not rocket scientists, apparently
Essentially there is no money to spend right now. (Yeah, yeah, budget analysts. I know it’s more complicated than that.)
The ballroom is being built with private funds. So too will the arch probably. So that gets around not having a budget. If it’s being built with government dollars, then one of his suckophants will be in Big trouble for fiscal law violations.
If you think Trump is not spending federal money you haven’t looked at the debt/deficit.
$20billian+$20billion = $40billion to Argentina.
We pay taxes to take care of the American people. Hospitals, schools, roads, infra structure. Social Security would be just fine if Ronald Reagan didn’t loot it. Please don’t tell me there’s no money for ACA subsidies&Medicaid.
And private funds are paying for unapproved plans for Trump is just horse crap.
You sound very silly.
Thank you. We know the "private money" scam was just the usual Drumpf scam.
