I was thinking about this a few days ago when I read about Biden's "polar plunge" -- not that Trump would ever do anything like that because it would terrify him (and he knows how stupid it would make him look) -- and STILL the media talks about how feeble Biden is. I think there should be a requirement -- a law, even -- that anyone who wants to call Biden feeble must jump into the northern Atlantic between Thanksgiving and spring before publication in summer beach attire. With pics of the event to be published alongside the accusation of Biden's feebleness.
Trump should NOT be excluded from this -- it's not like he hasn't lied through his ass about Biden's physical condition at every opportunity. He won't, of course -- either stop the lying OR do the polar plunge himself, the snivelly-assed shithead.
But it does make me happy to see all the campaign ads that focus on Trump's advancing decrepitude anyway... MAGAts might not believe it, but it's harder to ignore if you're even marginally sane.
I do. I support what he's up to completely -- as I said, the MAGAts might not believe the ads, but we really do need to peel off whatever marginally sane people would be tempted to vote for Trump just because Biden is "too old". And if we hurt Trump's feel-feels in the process, it's all good.
Attention WAPO, I matched with a guy on Bumble and then left our coffee "date" when he told me he worked for Herschel Walker's campaign. Dating in DC is fucking madness.
Stop asking women to compromise!! I'm not martyring myself/sanity to prop up the status quo.
Throw in a little fundamentalist Christianity, where the husband is the unquestioned Head of the Household, and you have a perfect scenario for abuse of female partners
About that effing WAPO editorial, this is what I wrote on another substack: "My GOD this is so enraging. I feel an urge to c*str*te the person responsible at WashPo for this attempt to induce guilt in women. As if we did not have enough pressure on us to save democracy, oh, by the way, you REALLY need to get married and BREED. No. Men need women more than women need men and that really chaps their tender tushies."
I met a guy yesterday (I'm 71) and I said to a friend, "He's just not good enough." Then I remembered a phrase from the nineties that said, "Don't be so picky and accept Mr. Good Enough." Hell fucking no! Even at my age, if he ain't good enough, I'm not wasting 5 minutes of what's left of my time on this earth, with him. Well, with anyone for that matter.
Go you! I'm 72 and am very picky about who I spend my remaining time with. I just adopted 2 male cats. That tells you where I am. LOL! There is a reason there are so many "crazy cat ladies".
I'll be 72 in 2 weeks, so I'm really not 71, just hanging onto the number for a smidgen longer. I have 4 dogs now. Drove to Mexico with just one (Just published a book about it) and adopted three more. I also have one feral cat who came with my house, he's fabulous!
I’ve decided a skip the next 4 birthdays and 68 for a while. No, really I expect to welcome 70 when it comes, with all my friends that are already there!
DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE WAPO "EDITORIAL BOARD"!!!
I don't know who is hiding behind the "Editorial Board" nom-de-plume, but if I send any letter bombs this week, guess who's getting them.
Last Friday, they rhapsodized over how wonderful Sandra Fucking Day O'Connor was. As far as I'm concerned, she trashed any claim she had to being a groundbreaking jurist on women's issues by putting her own personal interests (in keeping the Presidency in Republican hands) ahead of what was legal AND what was right by voting to stop the count in Florida in 2000 and subvert a national election. She wanted to retire -- and to be sure REPUBLICANS got to nominate someone to replace her.
How about instead of having to put up with controlling and abusive men to keep them happy so they don't act out more, we require from THEM a minimum level of respect for our status as human beings with equal rights? Don't think anyone on the right has actually tried THAT yet.
Sorry, the Sandra Day O'Connor piece was posted today, not Friday as I assumed for some reason, and it did have a byline beyond "Editorial Board" -- which I totally missed. Probably because my head was about to detonate lol.
One of my favorite lines from an old comedian: "I believe that women are smarter than men because they have always possessed what we have been seeking."
Whoever the member of the WAPO editorial board is who wrote that fucking article, FUCK YOU!! I strongly agree about castration. (With a rusty, dull knife).
It's funny--I was just thinking yesterday that if men could get pregnant, abortion pills would be available at every CVS, and come in spicy and cool ranch flavors.
I hope someone is documenting this discussion. It's getting classic. Right out of consiousness raising back in late 60s when I was one of the Original California Girls. What times!
I remember in the 1960's tossing my Betsy Wetsy (she peed) for Barbie. With Barbie I could fantasize about an exciting life and not the expected boring life of having babies. I hated babies when I was a little girl and frankly, still do. They cry, pee and shit then treat you like dirt when they get older. WTF
I was never very inclined to want kids whether because it was at minimum a twenty year commitment much less a lifetime. I was looking at the environment even in junior high and didn't see the upside of adding more people to an overpopulated planet. That feeling has been a life long conviction. My not wanting to hold the baby every time one was passed over didn't help either. Sheesh, they really pushed that baby crap when I was a kid. Thank goodness there were enough baby lovers in the family that I could escape those events.
Exactly the same! Since junior high (60 years ago or so) I knew I didn't want to cause more burden to our planet. Looking at the future, I am SO glad I didn't have kids. Who would subject another human to this rat-fucking mess?
I know someone has takeover after my generation but sheesh, just thinking of our over-heated planet now and the current batch in power basically making out like fat rats with no concern of those that will inherited has mess.
I agree. And it isn't fair to ask the next gen to try to cope with the mess we inherited. But what can we do? I've done it all including donating, protesting, marching, writing, calling....The fat rats are still in power.
My mom was just telling the story at Thanksgiving of how my Barbie kicked Ken out because he told her she shouldn’t go to law school. My little sister cried, so I told her that Ken could live in the pool cabana and clean the pool!lol Barbie is a bad ass bitch!
I am 51, married, childless by choice and happy af! I also love Betty White’s quote, “If men could get pregnant, abortions would be available at Jiffy Lube”.
My mother's generation plus the old world thinking she was raised with regarded a husband and his income security essential. Fortunately that is no longer the case whether woman want children and/ or a career. I think the happily married folk with kids is just dandy just not for me. And to pressure younger women is just another reflection of losing Roe where some of the trumpy, evangelical types think they should run the show.
I love that quote, Janet, and I use it all the time when debating cretins about abortion. It shuts most of them up. I married a decent, fun man who changed overnight after we said I do. He expected to be my boss and for me to do what he said, when he said it, when he wanted it. I didn't. I finally divorced him, and my only real regret in life is that I didn't get an annulment, as I considered, right after the wedding.
I would not sacrifice my sobriety over anyone or anything…..and my sponsor is a Retrumplican where the unspoken rule is : no political talk. Period. 22 years and counting…ODAAT
22 years is amazing! That's amazing congratulations and I would not risk mine for anyone either. I have 7 years in January I never thought it was possible and it's just been better and better everyday 💙
Yes I was so fond of the physical abuse I received from Trump supporting police in Alabama. Being trans means you are no longer a Marine who served in war. Then I definitely want a double dose of the sexual assault from these same loathsome individuals who claim to be men and view women, including trans women like myself, as some sexual rag doll for their pleasure.
The GOP and their constituents are repressive rapists and pedophiles and I have yet to find a good person who votes red.
I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner. I also called the Post and gave them an earful, for what it's worth. Probably won't have any effect but it felt really good.
Even better: call them and tell them why you WON'T subscribe and that you'll tell everyone you know not to subscribe. That will annoy the hell out of them.
Gobsmacked at that WaPo editorial. Missed it, so I went back to read it. WTF?! I wouldn’t date anyone that was a Trump fanatic. My standards probably aren’t the highest (I married my ex-husband once), but I still have my dignity. Why do so many GOP use “spare the rod, spoil the child” on their wives?
My 3rd husband and I are so politically aligned in our opinions it’s part of what keeps us engaged in conversations. We’re always talking and so far that’s what keeps us curious about what the other one has to say. So far this has been my favorite marriage.
This is a summary of sickness. Trump has unleashed a primal nastiness in these morally deficient men. I had not seen that WaPo piece. WTF!!!! I would never date a Trump lover...and in truth, I have distanced myself from any of these cult members. Their morals and value system are completely different than mine. 🙄
It's truly sad when finding a paper that does a halfway decent job of reporting US news means going outside the country. I do worry occasionally about living in an echo chamber, but then realize I'm still far closer to reality than anyone listening to Fox or reading the NY Times.
"Hey women, we're sorry our side produces men whose own mothers avoid them, but could you take one for the team, lower your standards, and take pity on the poor dears? All we're asking is that you devote your health, wealth, and lives to a bunch of losers we couldn't parent properly and cover up for all our fuck-ups while we call you denons, take away your rights, and regularly try to rape or kill you."
WaPo, this is why no one takes you seriously any more. FFS!
There are a lot of baffling things in today's post, but one of the biggies is how the hell did Thumbhead Miller find 3 women that would sleep with him??!!🤣🤣
Thank you, Jeff - For giving us stories that matter! It sucks and it's frustrating that so many good Americans who support Frumpy just don't know how bad he and his supporters are. So evil!! Thank God for men who are on the Blue side of things. I know people on both sides, but the hypocrites seem to mostly come from the Right!
Sick MAGA bastards seem to be always ok with whatever these deranged disciples of false idols like the mango madman do, no matter how bad it is. Interesting how right wing Christian values and despicable acts are constantly linked together these days.
Which really suck because I considered myself a Christian. Though, I dont go to Church, especially after 2019 and I watch the Mango Madman, for myself and I realized the evangelicals were supporting and pushing him on Christians. Now I have a relationship with Christ, and I will leave it at that.
I imagine that you left out the Ziegler menage et trois intentionally because we shouldn't be the moral police of what happens in other people's bedrooms. However it seems an important part of the story being the Zieglers judge so deeply about what happens in all bedrooms but their own.
fun true fact: Jason Miller blocked me on twitter after I said he looked like someone drew a face on a thumb
That’s just science.
Also, like if a really fucked up police sketch was a person.
It's funhouse mirror material.
I’m sure he meant it as a compliment
fabulous! I always thought the majority of the trump hanger ons, had fat faces. What's up with that!
😂😂you’re killing me this morning! 😂
He’s a fucking chode!
A) Badge of honor that.
B) Accurate AF observation.
Well done young man.
👏👏👏
🤣🤣🤣 instantly.
I am laughing so hard, I love that description. Thanks, Jeff.
IT GOT LIKE THAT BECUASE IT WAS UP TRUMP'S ASS FOR SO LONG.
Why were you complementing him? :D
Oh poor poor Jeff🤪
I was thinking about this a few days ago when I read about Biden's "polar plunge" -- not that Trump would ever do anything like that because it would terrify him (and he knows how stupid it would make him look) -- and STILL the media talks about how feeble Biden is. I think there should be a requirement -- a law, even -- that anyone who wants to call Biden feeble must jump into the northern Atlantic between Thanksgiving and spring before publication in summer beach attire. With pics of the event to be published alongside the accusation of Biden's feebleness.
Trump should NOT be excluded from this -- it's not like he hasn't lied through his ass about Biden's physical condition at every opportunity. He won't, of course -- either stop the lying OR do the polar plunge himself, the snivelly-assed shithead.
But it does make me happy to see all the campaign ads that focus on Trump's advancing decrepitude anyway... MAGAts might not believe it, but it's harder to ignore if you're even marginally sane.
I do. I support what he's up to completely -- as I said, the MAGAts might not believe the ads, but we really do need to peel off whatever marginally sane people would be tempted to vote for Trump just because Biden is "too old". And if we hurt Trump's feel-feels in the process, it's all good.
Shared and subscribed; thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
or how about keep women safe and let these dudes have robots and inflatable dolls?
Yep. Happy Lysistrata to you, MAGA.
Absolfuckinglutely.
Beautiful.
Aristophanes is laughing his ass off.
They don't deserve robots and inflatable dolls. They deserve penis stretchers so they can all F--K themselves!
Creative, Linda.
Or at least real Vagina Dentata...
THEY ALREADY HAVE THE DOLLS, HOW THEY PRACTICE.
THEY ARE MORE LIKE QUADRIPEDS.
Attention WAPO, I matched with a guy on Bumble and then left our coffee "date" when he told me he worked for Herschel Walker's campaign. Dating in DC is fucking madness.
Stop asking women to compromise!! I'm not martyring myself/sanity to prop up the status quo.
and make more fucking crazy maga babies. YUK
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Throw in a little fundamentalist Christianity, where the husband is the unquestioned Head of the Household, and you have a perfect scenario for abuse of female partners
About that effing WAPO editorial, this is what I wrote on another substack: "My GOD this is so enraging.

As if we did not have enough pressure on us to save democracy, oh, by the way, you REALLY need to get married and BREED. No. Men need women more than women need men and that really chaps their tender tushies."
I will not feel guilt for having baseline standards...
Exactly. Let's all line up for the lowest common denominator of males for breeding.
I met a guy yesterday (I'm 71) and I said to a friend, "He's just not good enough." Then I remembered a phrase from the nineties that said, "Don't be so picky and accept Mr. Good Enough." Hell fucking no! Even at my age, if he ain't good enough, I'm not wasting 5 minutes of what's left of my time on this earth, with him. Well, with anyone for that matter.

Amen.
One of my favorite lines from an old comedian: "I believe that women are smarter than men because they have always possessed what we have been seeking."
One of my favorites is from the legendary George Carlin: Women are crazy, and men are stupid. The reason women are crazy is because men are stupid.
I really miss Carlin. We need him now.
Strongly agree.
Exhibit "A" in favor of why we need him now. "Brood mare for the state." Prescient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgjGwOByays
Truth!
Whoever the member of the WAPO editorial board is who wrote that fucking article, FUCK YOU!! I strongly agree about castration. (With a rusty, dull knife).
Ready!

I hope you write episodic series! Brilliant!
I also never met a man that I wanted as a father to my children if I ever chose to have them. No single parenting or sperm bank for me, thank you.
Me too! Finally found the right one at 54. No babies.
I am 51, married, childless by choice and happy af! I also love Betty White’s quote, “If men could get pregnant, abortions would be available at Jiffy Lube”.
BINGO.
Ditto
My mother's generation plus the old world thinking she was raised with regarded a husband and his income security essential. Fortunately that is no longer the case whether woman want children and/ or a career. I think the happily married folk with kids is just dandy just not for me.

I finally divorced him, and my only real regret in life is that I didn't get an annulment, as I considered, right after the wedding.
Being in the same home as a Republican male for even another day of my life would cause my 7 years of sobriety to end.
No man is worth losing your hard-earned sobriety over. Ever. But I hear you!
Congrats! it would me too. (20 years!)
I would not sacrifice my sobriety over anyone or anything…..and my sponsor is a Retrumplican where the unspoken rule is : no political talk. Period. 22 years and counting…ODAAT
22 years is amazing! That's amazing congratulations and I would not risk mine for anyone either. I have 7 years in January I never thought it was possible and it's just been better and better everyday 💙
Everyday clean and sober is a blessing. Cherish it!….
That is “going to any length to achieve your sobriety”. Salute!
You and me both (36 years here)
Yes I was so fond of the physical abuse I received from Trump supporting police in Alabama. Being trans means you are no longer a Marine who served in war. Then I definitely want a double dose of the sexual assault from these same loathsome individuals who claim to be men and view women, including trans women like myself, as some sexual rag doll for their pleasure.
The GOP and their constituents are repressive rapists and pedophiles and I have yet to find a good person who votes red.
Yikes! I’m so disgusted.
Finally cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post. Their bullshit editorial was the last straw.
I canceled mine for the same reason.
I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner. I also called the Post and gave them an earful, for what it's worth. Probably won't have any effect but it felt really good.
I'm tempted to sign up just so I can cancel.
Even better: call them and tell them why you WON'T subscribe and that you'll tell everyone you know not to subscribe. That will annoy the hell out of them.
Gobsmacked at that WaPo editorial. Missed it, so I went back to read it. WTF?! I wouldn’t date anyone that was a Trump fanatic.

HaHa! "I married my ex-husband once." That one tickled me for some reason.
Once was plenty, twice would have been a signal to please commit me to a nice sanitarium
I suspect you're a part-time comedy writer!
lol, thanks, but I just like to make people laugh. My work emails were very popular.
I can believe it
Thanks, I’m here all week! 😄
My 3rd husband and I are so politically aligned in our opinions it’s part of what keeps us engaged in conversations. We’re always talking and so far that’s what keeps us curious about what the other one has to say. So far this has been my favorite marriage.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. Elizabeth Taylor married her ex-husband once too.
I didn’t, but I thank you anyway!!
Because they're fucking pigs.
With low self esteem so that scaring and belittling others makes them feel better.
This is a summary of sickness. Trump has unleashed a primal nastiness in these morally deficient men. I had not seen that WaPo piece. WTF!!!! I would never date a Trump lover...and in truth, I have distanced myself from any of these cult members. Their morals and value system are completely different than mine. 🙄
Same. Canceled NYT and am canceling WaPo.
ETA: Easy! Go to your account from the icon in the upper right, then Billing and Subscription and cancel from there.
Thanks for this tip- helpful!
It's truly sad when finding a paper that does a halfway decent job of reporting US news means going outside the country. I do worry occasionally about living in an echo chamber, but then realize I'm still far closer to reality than anyone listening to Fox or reading the NY Times.
Do it. I just did and it felt great. Call the paper and let them know why you're cancelling.
I cancelled online and then called the paper to let them know exactly why I was getting out.
I canceled NYT online too IIRC. Really considering WaPo too instead of waiting until my subscription runs out.
"Hey women, we're sorry our side produces men whose own mothers avoid them, but could you take one for the team, lower your standards, and take pity on the poor dears?

Why are women being asked to compromise and settle for MAGA men and not the reverse?
EXACTLY
Thank you, Jeff - For giving us stories that matter! It sucks and it's frustrating that so many good Americans who support Frumpy just don't know how bad he and his supporters are. So evil!! Thank God for men who are on the Blue side of things. I know people on both sides, but the hypocrites seem to mostly come from the Right!

Did these Maga christo- fascist fucks ever hear of the Ten Commandments?
Exactly what I was thinking ✅
Which really suck because I considered myself a Christian. Though, I dont go to Church, especially after 2019 and I watch the Mango Madman, for myself and I realized the evangelicals were supporting and pushing him on Christians. Now I have a relationship with Christ, and I will leave it at that.

Jeff included the link to the Ziegler story which does mention it
Let’s go WOMEN-get rid of those bastards!
The WaPo story saying liberal women should marry Trumpers missed a statistic. They said that married people are happier than single people. That's not quite correct; married *men* are happier than single men. Unmarried women are happiest. https://thoughtcatalog.com/shahida-arabi/2023/06/childfree-single-women-are-among-the-happiest-therapists-psychiatrists-and-childfree-millennials-explain-why/#:~:text=According%20to%20Harvard%2Dtrained%20psychologist,happier%2C%20healthier%2C%20and%20wealthier.
Excellent post. And a little self-validation-thanks!
