My dear cousin once told me that the fact that Biden hardly ever went out in public during the pandemic proved the election had to be stolen. I silently replied, Biden could’ve spent the entire year on the sofa, eating Cheetos and watching Netflix, and I still would’ve voted for him.” The tRump cultists just don’t understand that bullshit and gaudy displays of obnoxious ignorance do not work on EVERY voter.
“We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy. Trump is crazy as hell, and it is time we push him over the edge. President Biden and his campaign are zeroing in on a strategy of needling trump every day with the goal of getting him to have a narcissistic meltdown. The hope is that trump will "go haywire in public" after suffering from constant ridicule. Sources tell us that Biden is looking for a fight. Bout damn time!
I have mental fantasies of what he may do that he has not done before (in public), everything from running naked through the streets screaming 'i am your god", to slapping silly everyone around him, to threatening to kill himself if his admirers don't send him lots of money.
I’m waiting for a press conference featuring Trump and the pillow guy - during which a pillow fight breaks out between the two after Trump insults the pillow guy for not carrying him through the last election. Double myocardial infarctions occur simultaneously. Curtain closes. The end.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 PERFECT. Please share if you get an answer. Thanks for the laugh. I want someone to hold the Supreme Court Accountable. Indict Ginny and see what Thomas does then!!!
If I was Biden, I'd be hiring experts who know exactly what boils tRump's blood, then focus 100% of my energy on that. Make the fuck-face pop a blood vessel.
Wait two more days,when he can’t get the dough to pay E Jean ,and they start the auctions on his properties,he’s gonna blow out blood 🩸 vessels from every hole in his Crisco infused pig 🐷 body !
Hey Hoyt… I sure hope you are right about needling tfg. It is so easy to bet in his head and make him even crazier. I have not seen any evidence of Dems doing anything like this. Where do you see this happening?! They should have started months ago. His mental and emotional short fuses are not new.
Who the fuck is Biden going to fight? The white noise echoing in his head? With which hand will he use to fight? They both hang limply at his side when he shuffles about.
The SOTU is going to be lit. I challenge you to drinking contest. Every time spittle drips from the sagging corner of his lie-spewing mouth you take a shot. Extra points if it makes your close-captioning system glitch out when he starts yelling guttural sounds and then slowly trailing off muttering, "you know the thing."
Woe to the man that invokes the ire of Dark Brandon! LMFAO!!!
Wow. This coming from a group who think Taylor Swift is satanic. Who truly lose their stuff when someone says CRT or “great replacement.” Who hang on every word—more like word salad—of the Orange Jesus. Nah, I listen to the guy who didn’t fall asleep in college, who has a distinguished political career, and actually gets stuff done.
God damn, I love you so much. Why would my dislike of my boy Brandon make me part of any group? That is unless there is a group just for despising him. I give zero fucks about Trump. Other than your hatred of him gives me irrational joy.
Biden is a racist and senile plagiarist. Everyone gives Trump credit for being racist. However, he doesn't have anywhere near the esteemed record of Biden. Biden has no shame in his racism game. He has a very public record of clearly and openly revealing his deep hatred of Black Americans. You know back when he could form what could reasonably be called coherent English. I know you don't believe me, but seriously there was a time when he could talk. He could go on and on about his kids not being in racist jungles.
By getting stuff done, do you mean how Biden bragged about the 1994 crime bill incarcerating a generation of Black men? Is that getting stuff done? If by stuff you mean destroying the lives of millions of young minorities, then I must agree. He certainly got a lot of "stuff" done.
BTW, in 2010 he gave a eulogy at the funeral of Robert Byrd. A famous segregationist who died while proudly serving as a Democratic US Senator. I'll help you out, segregationists are racists. You're welcome.
All I've said are facts, David. If you will openly support an avowed racist who trades on his name at the cost of American prosperity, then what does that say about you?
Get out of my head knowing about what I like spending my time and money on. What are you, a witch?! Just kidding I know you aren't a witch. Cause witches are ugly white women and you are clearly 3 pink tulips. Not the same thing.
I challenge each of you follow me in becoming a founding subscriber. Jeff will lead us to a better place. One where we'll denigrate Drumpf and his MAGAt supporters until they go away and stop bothering their betters.
How is it republicans supposed toxic masculinity causes them to become snowflakes and buttercups by ‘owning the libs’ and scaring the shit out of caring intelligent Americans, which is the republicans favorite form of entertainment?
And how they step into our world (reality, because WE are paying attention) and spout on about nonsense without any facts or sources for their rhetoric. Every. Damn. Time. They're all a bunch of kool-aid "please sir, may I have some more" consuming snowflakes.
Agreed! Biden has had such a strong primary season. He is consistently receiving a much larger percentage of votes - between 80 & 96 percent - than Trump has. Why does the media keep talking about Biden being slammed at the polls & Trump touted like he is the Second Coming. Trump is lucky to get 50%.
A former friend told me that trump would be re-elected in 2020 based on crowd size, too. I asked her if she had ever attended a political rally, with or without a pandemic. "No."
High attendance at a rally during Covid proved only that we have way too many stupid Americans.
And many attendees at Trump's rallies were people who went to many of his rallies. That means they were repeat attenders and should not be counted more than once. So we really have no idea how many people were reached during these rallies.
Yeah. Their universe and largest crowd they ever seen were in those silly Trump rallies. They should have gone to some old fashioned rock and roll concerts instead.
Not only that, but the magats were saying that when he was on the road campaigning, they were claiming he was in his basement, that is some real projection there.
I occasionally find Black people in support of Drumpf but they all talk about Atlantic City, which is a thousand miles and some change from here. I am sus.
I despise SCOTUS kicking this back to the Electoral College. They're clearly in the bag for their boss and Thomas should be recused by his fellows. Or by us. Whichever. Snidely they tell us to go vote him out, aware of the gerrymandering, poll watching, suppression efforts, and every other way the finger is on his end of the scale.
About to say fuck it, revolution time. This whole system is a high school popularity contest. We can do better.
Also, it should be assumed all pictures of Drumpf smiling are fake unless people are being hurt nearby. I have never seen him smile unless someone is getting fucked over. Preferably by him.
Dick Tater, former president, told his six henchmen on the court they owe him bigly. And with a big sloppy kiss they said, “your wish is our command, no more trials till after the election.”
March 25th though, Trump has to be incourt for that one, as its a criminal trial. That one is on schedule and will likely be the only one to deliver a verdict before Roevember, and Jack Smith will probably plow ahead with the DC insurrection trial in September or October or even November. Until Trump begs to the Supreme Court that he can't be on trial when he's applying for a new job, and they take 3 months to think about it, ugh.
If you aren't just the most precious and adorable antagonist I have ever met, and Bless Your Heart for making ME laugh and laugh and laugh.................
He's fairly tame and I actually have fun with a good verbal joust, just one of the ways I entertain myself. Now I never respond to trolls on youtube, but on this paid site I have encountered only two and they really don't bother me.
“… they tell us to go vote him out, aware of the gerrymandering, poll watching, suppression efforts, and every other way the finger is on his end of the scale.”
Unfortunately, that is pretty much what we’re left with. Gently but firmly convince your family, friends, coworkers and acquaintances that yes, it WILL make a difference whether they vote and no, they’re NOT ‘all the same’.
Good post, you did forget to mention that the r’s don’t believe in the Oath Of Office so while they will “swear to it” it means nothing. I = nope (djt has done nothing wrong” 🤮🤢
I caught a couple of minutes of a trump rally a couple of weeks ago. They often put the black folks behind him to show that he's got supporters among POC. The only problem was that the young black man was squirming in his seat and looked so disinterested. He was obviously bored silly. He was squirming so much it looked like he was going to fall out of the chair.
Slaves? Are we able to pick slaves again? I clearly am signed up to the wrong Democrat newsletters. There was no mention of this in last weeks DNC press releases.
I'm only Democrat-curious but may not be true blue material if I have to support slavery. This didn't really end well last time for Republicans. So many laid down their lives to free the slaves. The Democrats just didn't want to let them go.
1) They have just as many hands as we do. Having 37 guns is great. Shame you can't fire more than two at once.
2) On average, most rednecks I know shoot at cans, squirrels, ranges, and so forth. You get the odd ex-cop or former military, but that's like 10% of them.
As far as blue gun owners go, I've met almost none without some kind of formal training - security, police, military.
Wanna guess who's gonna do better in a live fire exercise?
You mentioned the New York Times, referring to those polls about Biden‘s lack of popularity. Here’s the thing: I wonder how many Democrats who — like me — will vote blue until they drop dead, simply don’t respond to polls. For example, I report all texts from political actors of any stripe as junk. I don’t want to answer polls and I don’t want to get the panic-mongering messages about how much money they need “today RIGHT NOW to beat Trump”. I’ve already donated to the people I want to support. I don’t need to talk to them about it. Anyway, seems to me that polls are more than ever uninformed by regular voters. I don’t know how you’d research it, but this would make a really interesting article from you. I really enjoy your newsletter and always end up sharing it with bunches of my friends.
I voted for Nixon the first time, but I was young and convinced Goldwater was gonna get us all nuked. I can truly say that was my only non- Democratic vote.
Independents, 🙄 pick a side, choose a lane, get on board one way or the other. The time has long past when a ‘statement’ vote is anything but a vote for the gerrymandering guys.
NYT is just like every other Corporate news outlet. They trot out bullshit polls with infinitesimally low responses rates to capture the mood of the 0.4% of possible voters who still answer unknown callers to their land lines.
Exactly. And there is actually data to back that up. I recently read that in 2018 only about 1.5% of polling calls actually got through to a respondent. By 2022 that number had fallen to 0.4%. Pretty hard to come up with a randomly selected, representative sample, when its limited to people who haven’t yet figured out how to screen unwanted calls.
You nailed it! Thank you! I don’t answer unknown callers either.
So, this is what I’m told by some people who are highly insulted that I didn’t answer their call, but ACT like they care about me, “But Suzy, what if you miss a call from a new client who picked up your brochure at a show?”
I like to say calmly that if a call is not answered….
1. 90% of the time it will be a recorded sales pitch like, “You have been specifically chosen to get a NEW roof for free! This offer expires in 32.7 minutes so don’t delay - or this offer goes to #2 on our preferred customer list. CALL US NOW for details!” (I’m not desperate to talk to someone/ anyone. I don’t feel honored to be #1 and not dumb enough to fall for it. Besides, I don’t even own a roof …but if I did, I’d ask close friends for referrals!)
I admit I used to answer and be kind to real person telemarketers because I had to take a job like that when I was young and it was utter misery. If the person was nasty I had the satisfaction of telling them so! “You’re a LIAR, and don’t you dare threaten me for being in ‘serious’ arrears on your credit card. I don’t have one of those and never applied for one!”
ALAS! When robocalling started, there was no satisfaction in yelling at a computer!
2. If a call is legit, they will leave me a message. I’ll check the number on a reverse call service and may call them back.
If they don’t leave a message, it’s not important.
3. I say that I may know the caller but “you know how it is, I could be in the shower OR there are people I KNOW I don’t WANT to talk to!” It’s MY phone that I pay for and I’ll ignore it if I want to!
Besides, anybody who takes offense at such a trivial matter, is immediately added to my personal ‘DO NOT ANSWER’ list.
‘Burn it all down” The daily battle cry of every facet of the republican party arm in arm with putin. Trump is a frigging madman, and the media is trying to sell this as just another horse race.
We are exactly the same Democrat! I found in the past two months or so, that my phone automatically sends all political texts to spam and blocks the number. I didn't ask for it to do that, but I was VERY happy to find out that it was. It blocked texts from Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris, and many more. Don't need it. Don't want it. I also don't participate in polls or petitions because all it's going to do is generate more junk mail; paper and electronic. And yet, I WILL NOT vote for anyone who ISN'T a Democrat. The constant "polls" are absolute bullshit!
Weirdly enough, I subscribed to NYT to keep an eye on what kind of skeezy behavior Orange Dumpster was up to! And yeah, I don't do polls either, and will always vote blue. I did have to unsubscribe to a few Dems, because of the panic-mongering, too.
I’m keeping my subscription to the nyt. The Trump horseshit is a piece I ignore and the rest of their reporting is excellent. (See the series on homelessness recently). Also I doubt readers are swayed about the orange gibbon.
I do exactly the same. I don't do those pills or respond to all the texts and emails from politicians wanting money. I support my local candidates and Biden once. I am not made of money like the MAGA hoards seem to be with their contributions to Trump and buying Trump crap thinking it will make them rich.
The eternally attached donation pleas keep me from participating in online ‘polls’.
Back when Hillary was running, I got a Trump push poll (when I was still answering my land line). I answered all the questions fully and calmly and the pollster sounded like he was just making calls to get paid because he sincerely wished me well at the end.
Predictive spelling on my i-Phone knows me so well that when I get a political text and I hit "s" in the reply space, Siri knows to enter "STOP", which theoretically removes my number from their lists.
Exactly. I do the same. Every “poll” I receive via email ends with a request for money. I don’t know who these people are and I resent that I can’t just answer a major poll. I don’t believe in them since they are all skewed.
I have a very vivid imagination but nowhere in the multiverse could I imagine a black woman allowing exBLOTUS to get any portion of his body next to them.
"Diamond and Silk" were a duo of ladies who acted the role of trump supporters. They did the "Wingnut grift circuit" like CPAC and trump rallies.They also were on Fox News until they spread conspiracy theories about Covid. One is now deceased.
Today’s Salon site features an article entitled, “There is Something Wrong at the New York Times.” It warns you can smell the stench wafting from the Times building. It also makes many of the same points per Jeff Tiedrich’s post yesterday and seems almost derivative of it. Hmmm...Anyway, it’s worth a read.
I’m afraid to display my Biden/Harris bumper sticker in the Trumpy area where I live, which is an aberration in the overall liberal Pima County Arizona. I honestly am concerned about vandalism.
I wouldn't even put one on a car here in NW Ohio or anywhere for that matter. It's just best for us to stay covert and hum quietly to ourselves walking to the polls.
Just heard Czar Cheeto say that he has "tremendous respect" for SCOTUS... 🙄
Yeah, NOW he does after he padded it with maga disciples. He always called it corrupt beforehand and he only expresses his admiration of them when/if they rule in his favor. What a POS.
That's what "they" want. My current vehicle is covered in liberal, hippie, progressive zingers and has been for the past 20+ years. I am currently traveling through Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma and other unenlightened places. Don't care what "they" think--my Peace, Love and Brotherhood stickers "trump" their garish Trump garbage in every way! Fuck 'em.
The bumper sticker from the Tricky Dicky era that caused the biggest response nationwide was “Impeach The Cox Sacker “,after Archie Cox was shit canned as Special Prosecutor, that was spray painted across the country for months ,I still have one somewhere .I wonder if I take it on the Antique Road show if they’d even air it ?
I grew up here but was away for about 20 years. My Phoenix neighborhood in Maricopa county was pretty liberal. I moved to the conservative end of Tucson. Trump stickers and nonsens all over the place.
I’ve considered putting a Biden-Harris sticker on my car (I don’t do bumper stickers) simply because folks assume that this old, grey-haired, white lady must be a trumper.
Same here, or getting shot by some crazy trumper with an AK on their way to shoot up a nightclub or elementary school, or a road rage incident. I live in Pima County, too, but in a spot that the sticker w/b ok (Sugar Hill).
I lve near Tucson, too, and have Biden and Dem stickers on my car. I get a few comments (both good and bad) and once during the last election someone left a nasty note under my windshield wipers trying to shame me.
Reading Judge Engeron's ruling and decades of Forbes magazine articles, Donald and his kids worked hard every day to cheat the system. They could have been successful playing by the law and the rules. But this wasn't their style. They didn't come to work every day and ask, what can we do to make New York and the World a better place? What can we do to help people? We shouldn't break the law, that would be wrong.
Instead their creativity was focused on scams and cons and lies. Politically corrupt tax abatements. Screwing contractors and employees. Lying to the tax man, banks and insurance companies to make more money. They sold phony college degrees. Bad meat. Medals and trading cards (digital and print). Strips of blue cloth. Overpriced sneakers. How can we steal from people and get away with it?
What's so attractive about this slimy, immoral, incompetent, ignorant, old, rapist, fraud, con man that 147 Members of Congress debased their honor to him?
In contrast, the old guy in the WH wakes up every day and asks what can he do for the World and to help people.
***‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ We know things are bad – worse than bad. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. (shouting) You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’ So, I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell repeatedly: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’
Damn fine actor. Finch was nominated for an Oscar for Network and went on to posthumously win the award, which was accepted by his widow, Eletha Finch.
I’m guessing Tim Scott never tried to apply to reside at one of Trump’s s*hole properties. I wonder if the future bankrupt prison apprentice still has Fred Trump’s KKK uniform.
Thanks and apologies, Jeff! I riffed off you for my comment to the NYT on the “Superfans” article but didn’t credit you. I said something like “I don’t know if I’m a superfan but I am a fan of democracy, decency and, y’know, not criming!”
Vengeance-dealing hate-avatar - yep, that’s really Trump’s dream, isn’t it? It’s disgusting that he’s so desperate to show he has supporters other than crazed weight-watchers named Bubba and Eddie Joe who wear torn tank tops and gold dumbass sneakers. Nothing like literally making up people to support you in “photos.”
It's all in Trump's playbook. Remember, he used to fake Time Magazine's Man of the Year covers and hang them on his walls. The guy is phony to the core and beyond.
Just like the black folks he pays that you see seated behind him at his very annoying, misleading dog and pony shows. Everything about this turd is a facade of bullshit but yet he still gets plenty of assistance from Faux News and the NYT to fuel his moronic base. The good news is that his awful shenanigans are costing him dearly financially, and will continue to do so as the clock keeps ticking faster than the fuckface shyster can come up with the money.

Bring it!
DONT SEND THE MONEY! Let him fucking DIE
your lips to gods ears, I have heard though the grapevine God is sick and tired of him as well, and Jesus seconded that motion
Would his worshipers even care?
GMTA! I should have scrolled down, and you said it better!
I have to ponder the fact that: ppl are not realizing he’s been going haywire for a while now? Scary if they didn’t
I’m waiting for a press conference featuring Trump and the pillow guy - during which a pillow fight breaks out between the two after Trump insults the pillow guy for not carrying him through the last election. Double myocardial infarctions occur simultaneously. Curtain closes. The end.

😂😂😂
hopefully it'd be so bad the msm would pick it up. hopefully...
🤣🤣🤣🤣 PERFECT. Please share if you get an answer. Thanks for the laugh. I want someone to hold the Supreme Court Accountable. Indict Ginny and see what Thomas does then!!!
They only thing I could figure, would be if he took off all his clothes, and ran down the street naked, but even then I suspect they'd find an excuse.
The answer is no.Thats hysterical 🤣.
If I was Biden, I'd be hiring experts who know exactly what boils tRump's blood, then focus 100% of my energy on that. Make the fuck-face pop a blood vessel.
I sure af hope so! 🤞🏼😬🤞🏼
We shall see if, when and how much shit will be slung at trump. I hope it's enormous piles of it.
God only knows there are piles and piles and piles, that should keep him flushing the rest of his miserable life.
We have about 8 months for him to lose it at cuckoo nest level…let’s all pray together now…
And ordinarily I don't pray. But for this, I will.
Me too, I'll even link hands for that!
Relentless shit throwing

Who Flung Dung will be the racist AI-generated name of the leader of the fictitious “Asian Americans for Trump”
That's what the trumpanzees are for.

Good. Go at him every day. Pressure busts pipes!
Cholesterol and cortisol for the win!!!!
I’m stunned has not happened yet…
Wait two more days,when he can’t get the dough to pay E Jean ,and they start the auctions on his properties,he’s gonna blow out blood 🩸 vessels from every hole in his Crisco infused pig 🐷 body !
Lol! 🤞🤞

Looks like it’s working!

If Biden was a flesh eating zombie I would crawl over shards of glass to vote for him over Dump. Well, you get the point.

Do not tend to trolls. They are indigestible
He's fairly tame and I actually have fun with a good verbal joust, just one of the ways I entertain myself. Now I never respond to trolls on youtube, but on this paid site I have encountered only two and they really don't bother me.
I think I've found a friend. Let's promise to meet back here tomorrow and do this all over again.
You probably can't tell but I'm blushing.
Bye Hoyt. XOXO.
“… they tell us to go vote him out, aware of the gerrymandering, poll watching, suppression efforts, and every other way the finger is on his end of the scale.”
Unfortunately, that is pretty much what we’re left with. Gently but firmly convince your family, friends, coworkers and acquaintances that yes, it WILL make a difference whether they vote and no, they’re NOT ‘all the same’.
Good post, you did forget to mention that the r’s don’t believe in the Oath Of Office so while they will “swear to it” it means nothing. I = nope (djt has done nothing wrong” 🤮🤢
We MUST do better.
I caught a couple of minutes of a trump rally a couple of weeks ago. They often put the black folks behind him to show that he's got supporters among POC. The only problem was that the young black man was squirming in his seat and looked so disinterested. He was obviously bored silly. He was squirming so much it looked like he was going to fall out of the chair.
Pick your slaves better next time, Donald.
Paid actors
Slaves? Are we able to pick slaves again? I clearly am signed up to the wrong Democrat newsletters. There was no mention of this in last weeks DNC press releases.
I'm only Democrat-curious but may not be true blue material if I have to support slavery. This didn't really end well last time for Republicans. So many laid down their lives to free the slaves. The Democrats just didn't want to let them go.
Boring
They never get any new material. Or anything accurate, either.
You have just reminded me that this isn't the first time that Dems and Reps have been fighting mad at each other.
True. The names and goals have been swapped.
They have a lot more guns than we do.
Great! Except two things.
1) They have just as many hands as we do. Having 37 guns is great. Shame you can't fire more than two at once.
2) On average, most rednecks I know shoot at cans, squirrels, ranges, and so forth. You get the odd ex-cop or former military, but that's like 10% of them.
As far as blue gun owners go, I've met almost none without some kind of formal training - security, police, military.
Wanna guess who's gonna do better in a live fire exercise?
You mentioned the New York Times, referring to those polls about Biden‘s lack of popularity. Here’s the thing: I wonder how many Democrats who — like me — will vote blue until they drop dead, simply don’t respond to polls. For example, I report all texts from political actors of any stripe as junk. I don’t want to answer polls and I don’t want to get the panic-mongering messages about how much money they need “today RIGHT NOW to beat Trump”. I’ve already donated to the people I want to support. I don’t need to talk to them about it. Anyway, seems to me that polls are more than ever uninformed by regular voters. I don’t know how you’d research it, but this would make a really interesting article from you. I really enjoy your newsletter and always end up sharing it with bunches of my friends.
There are a lot of us. I don't do polls and I don't sign petitions, but I can't remember a time when I didn't vote for Democrats.
I voted for Nixon the first time, but I was young and convinced Goldwater was gonna get us all nuked. I can truly say that was my only non- Democratic vote.
Independents, 🙄 pick a side, choose a lane, get on board one way or the other. The time has long past when a ‘statement’ vote is anything but a vote for the gerrymandering guys.
NYT is just like every other Corporate news outlet. They trot out bullshit polls with infinitesimally low responses rates to capture the mood of the 0.4% of possible voters who still answer unknown callers to their land lines.
Smart people don’t answer their phones if they don’t know the caller. That explains the polls to me.
Exactly. And there is actually data to back that up. I recently read that in 2018 only about 1.5% of polling calls actually got through to a respondent. By 2022 that number had fallen to 0.4%. Pretty hard to come up with a randomly selected, representative sample, when its limited to people who haven’t yet figured out how to screen unwanted calls.
And if they don’t leave a voice mail I block the number.
You nailed it! Thank you! I don’t answer unknown callers either.
So, this is what I’m told by some people who are highly insulted that I didn’t answer their call, but ACT like they care about me, “But Suzy, what if you miss a call from a new client who picked up your brochure at a show?”
I like to say calmly that if a call is not answered….
1. 90% of the time it will be a recorded sales pitch like, “You have been specifically chosen to get a NEW roof for free! This offer expires in 32.7 minutes so don’t delay - or this offer goes to #2 on our preferred customer list. CALL US NOW for details!” (I’m not desperate to talk to someone/ anyone. I don’t feel honored to be #1 and not dumb enough to fall for it. Besides, I don’t even own a roof …but if I did, I’d ask close friends for referrals!)
I admit I used to answer and be kind to real person telemarketers because I had to take a job like that when I was young and it was utter misery. If the person was nasty I had the satisfaction of telling them so! “You’re a LIAR, and don’t you dare threaten me for being in ‘serious’ arrears on your credit card. I don’t have one of those and never applied for one!”
ALAS! When robocalling started, there was no satisfaction in yelling at a computer!
2. If a call is legit, they will leave me a message. I’ll check the number on a reverse call service and may call them back.
If they don’t leave a message, it’s not important.
3. I say that I may know the caller but “you know how it is, I could be in the shower OR there are people I KNOW I don’t WANT to talk to!” It’s MY phone that I pay for and I’ll ignore it if I want to!
Besides, anybody who takes offense at such a trivial matter, is immediately added to my personal ‘DO NOT ANSWER’ list.
Great point Sharon!
‘Burn it all down” The daily battle cry of every facet of the republican party arm in arm with putin. Trump is a frigging madman, and the media is trying to sell this as just another horse race.
We are exactly the same Democrat! I found in the past two months or so, that my phone automatically sends all political texts to spam and blocks the number. I didn't ask for it to do that, but I was VERY happy to find out that it was. It blocked texts from Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris, and many more. Don't need it. Don't want it. I also don't participate in polls or petitions because all it's going to do is generate more junk mail; paper and electronic. And yet, I WILL NOT vote for anyone who ISN'T a Democrat. The constant "polls" are absolute bullshit!
They keep Steve Kornacki (sp?) in khakis.
Weirdly enough, I subscribed to NYT to keep an eye on what kind of skeezy behavior Orange Dumpster was up to! And yeah, I don't do polls either, and will always vote blue. I did have to unsubscribe to a few Dems, because of the panic-mongering, too.
I’m keeping my subscription to the nyt. The Trump horseshit is a piece I ignore and the rest of their reporting is excellent. (See the series on homelessness recently). Also I doubt readers are swayed about the orange gibbon.
As I said elsewhere today, F*** the Polls and Full Speed Ahead.
I do exactly the same. I don't do those pills or respond to all the texts and emails from politicians wanting money. I support my local candidates and Biden once. I am not made of money like the MAGA hoards seem to be with their contributions to Trump and buying Trump crap thinking it will make them rich.
The eternally attached donation pleas keep me from participating in online ‘polls’.
Back when Hillary was running, I got a Trump push poll (when I was still answering my land line). I answered all the questions fully and calmly and the pollster sounded like he was just making calls to get paid because he sincerely wished me well at the end.
Predictive spelling on my i-Phone knows me so well that when I get a political text and I hit "s" in the reply space, Siri knows to enter "STOP", which theoretically removes my number from their lists.
Same here.
Exactly. I do the same. Every “poll” I receive via email ends with a request for money. I don’t know who these people are and I resent that I can’t just answer a major poll. I don’t believe in them since they are all skewed.
I have a very vivid imagination but nowhere in the multiverse could I imagine a black woman allowing exBLOTUS to get any portion of his body next to them.
Oh I like that! BLOATUS McSCROTUS.
👌😂😂😂😂
Didn’t Diamond and Silk even tire of him?
One of them died. I forget which. Rhinestone and Rucksack.
Diamond died, sadly Silk is still at it.
Ah, Rucksack. Well, she's welcome to keep stumping for the guy whose policies got her friend killed.
Same like any other Republican.
They are daughters of an Evangelist so grifting was always in their blood. Mikey Cohen told how he hired them for trump.
Natalie .,. you mean these are real people ? I thought it was a joke! For all I read, I’ve never heard of them. Do they have real names?
"Diamond and Silk" were a duo of ladies who acted the role of trump supporters. They did the "Wingnut grift circuit" like CPAC and trump rallies.They also were on Fox News until they spread conspiracy theories about Covid. One is now deceased.

Today’s Salon site features an article entitled, “There is Something Wrong at the New York Times.” It warns you can smell the stench wafting from the Times building. It also makes many of the same points per Jeff Tiedrich’s post yesterday and seems almost derivative of it. Hmmm...Anyway, it’s worth a read.
I’m afraid to display my Biden/Harris bumper sticker in the Trumpy area where I live, which is an aberration in the overall liberal Pima County Arizona. I honestly am concerned about vandalism.
I wouldn't even put one on a car here in NW Ohio or anywhere for that matter. It's just best for us to stay covert and hum quietly to ourselves walking to the polls.
Just heard Czar Cheeto say that he has "tremendous respect" for SCOTUS... 🙄
Yeah, NOW he does after he padded it with maga disciples. He always called it corrupt beforehand and he only expresses his admiration of them when/if they rule in his favor. What a POS.
And that fucker Moscow Mitch perpetrated this SCOTUS horror show!!!
That's what "they" want. My current vehicle is covered in liberal, hippie, progressive zingers and has been for the past 20+ years. I am currently traveling through Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma and other unenlightened places. Don't care what "they" think--my Peace, Love and Brotherhood stickers "trump" their garish Trump garbage in every way! Fuck 'em.
I love the "Coexist" one with all the religious symbols spelling out the word. It makes me feel less alone in this state.
Oldie/goodie!
The bumper sticker from the Tricky Dicky era that caused the biggest response nationwide was “Impeach The Cox Sacker “,after Archie Cox was shit canned as Special Prosecutor, that was spray painted across the country for months ,I still have one somewhere .I wonder if I take it on the Antique Road show if they’d even air it ?
I remember the saying:"You can't 'lick' our Dick" about Nixon.
I have a series of numbers on my back window 864511320.
86=throw out
45=tfg
11320= date of 2020 election.
A lot of people get it, but not cultists.
Same here in South Texas.
I grew up here but was away for about 20 years. My Phoenix neighborhood in Maricopa county was pretty liberal. I moved to the conservative end of Tucson. Trump stickers and nonsens all over the place.
I’ve considered putting a Biden-Harris sticker on my car (I don’t do bumper stickers) simply because folks assume that this old, grey-haired, white lady must be a trumper.
I took my stickers off long ago when a maggot attempted to follow me home…
We had a McGovern sticker driving thru Georgia back in the day. Not the way I like to get stoned.
😂😂
Same here, or getting shot by some crazy trumper with an AK on their way to shoot up a nightclub or elementary school, or a road rage incident. I live in Pima County, too, but in a spot that the sticker w/b ok (Sugar Hill).
Only because I often have my grandkids in the car.
I lve near Tucson, too, and have Biden and Dem stickers on my car. I get a few comments (both good and bad) and once during the last election someone left a nasty note under my windshield wipers trying to shame me.
I still have Obama/Biden bumper stickers on my car.
Mine are all Bernie....
Reading Judge Engeron's ruling and decades of Forbes magazine articles, Donald and his kids worked hard every day to cheat the system. They could have been successful playing by the law and the rules. But this wasn't their style. They didn't come to work every day and ask, what can we do to make New York and the World a better place? What can we do to help people? We shouldn't break the law, that would be wrong.
Instead their creativity was focused on scams and cons and lies. Politically corrupt tax abatements. Screwing contractors and employees. Lying to the tax man, banks and insurance companies to make more money. They sold phony college degrees. Bad meat. Medals and trading cards (digital and print). Strips of blue cloth. Overpriced sneakers. How can we steal from people and get away with it?
What's so attractive about this slimy, immoral, incompetent, ignorant, old, rapist, fraud, con man that 147 Members of Congress debased their honor to him?
In contrast, the old guy in the WH wakes up every day and asks what can he do for the World and to help people.
That's why I call them MAGAmorons.
***‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ We know things are bad – worse than bad. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. (shouting) You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’ So, I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell repeatedly: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’
Peter Finch was marvelous in that role.
Damn fine actor. Finch was nominated for an Oscar for Network and went on to posthumously win the award, which was accepted by his widow, Eletha Finch.
Yes, I remember! One of his best roles though Far from the Madding Crowd is possibly my favorite.
Love the “Network” reference.
I’d rather be a super fan than a cult member. Just sayin’
P01135809: Tick tock motherfucker
AI image: I was thinking when I first saw those images Photoshopped! But of course photoshop is now a thing of the past.
No, not all. Photoshop has AI generation.
Thanks for the correction! I should have known better. Gotta keep up with the times.
Thanks Jeff.
I’m guessing Tim Scott never tried to apply to reside at one of Trump’s s*hole properties. I wonder if the future bankrupt prison apprentice still has Fred Trump’s KKK uniform.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/us/politics/donald-trump-housing-race.html
Thanks and apologies, Jeff! I riffed off you for my comment to the NYT on the “Superfans” article but didn’t credit you. I said something like “I don’t know if I’m a superfan but I am a fan of democracy, decency and, y’know, not criming!”
AI is going to fuck us all.
And thereby beat Donald to the punch?
I absolutely cannot wait for his properties to start going on sale!
I kind of love the fact that Herr Pumpkinfuhrer has to come up with NINETY-ONE (91) million dollars bond! Gee that number seems familiar! 🤷♀️🤣
😂🤣
Lies, lies, lies…that’s all they have…and I am sick of it.
Vengeance-dealing hate-avatar - yep, that’s really Trump’s dream, isn’t it? It’s disgusting that he’s so desperate to show he has supporters other than crazed weight-watchers named Bubba and Eddie Joe who wear torn tank tops and gold dumbass sneakers. Nothing like literally making up people to support you in “photos.”
It's all in Trump's playbook. Remember, he used to fake Time Magazine's Man of the Year covers and hang them on his walls. The guy is phony to the core and beyond.
Just like the black folks he pays that you see seated behind him at his very annoying, misleading dog and pony shows. Everything about this turd is a facade of bullshit but yet he still gets plenty of assistance from Faux News and the NYT to fuel his moronic base. The good news is that his awful shenanigans are costing him dearly financially, and will continue to do so as the clock keeps ticking faster than the fuckface shyster can come up with the money.
