Hilary Clinton was probably one of the very most intelligent person we elected in modern history. Bill was very bright as well. They are both too center-right for my preference but I voted for H Clinton due to the fact that she was 500 light years more qualified AND intelligent than orange terrorist.
I knew, when she told those dangling male appendages in the republican party, that she would not stay home and bake cookies, (when they suggested she should, after Bill won) That they would smear her as much as they could for not being submissive to them.
Oh yes the man that turned Congress into a casino. I would have taken a slightly hawkish Hillary over any regular republican doorknob, much less a buffoon like Trump. So much of an election is beating stupidity in the electorate.
This reminds me of the first debate between HC and trump. He stalked her on stage, then stood right behind her and bellowed “WRONG” while she was trying to speak. I couldn’t believe that was allowed to continue. I thought his egregious and bullying behavior would be enough to show people who he was, and how he treated others. But no - as it turns out, that is precisely how many people, men and women, wanted HC to be treated: yelled over and put down because she dared to be an intelligent woman. It was difficult to realize the level of vitriol that some of America held for her.
My oldest brother who I’m dead to said he’d never vote for a woman. He had no other reason. That was enough for him who was waited on hand and foot his entire life.
When I first started watching MSNBC, I thought Tucker Carlson was appalling (because, of course, he WAS.) But I didn't like watching Matthews either -- he wasn't (usually) as directly misogynistic, at least, but he was certainly creepy af.
The reasons I watched MSNBC were Olbermann and Rachel, period.
I've just quit watching, period -- for political commentary, I read substack and subscribe to a few podcasts (some of those aren't even political! much, anyway...)
In Trump's abortion video he again implies Democrats are pushing 'After Birth Abortion'. Tristan Snell had this take: In America, after birth abortion is called a 'school shooting'. Perfect.
What a superb line that should be hammered daily across America for the remainder of the election. Thank you Tristan Snell and hope that you’ll agree to allow Biden and Harris to use it freely to pummel the Trumpers, magats and those right wing SCOTUS.
I'd be fine with Cher and Keith outliving us; it's just the cockroaches I wish would go away... the MAGAt cockroaches, the Heritage cockroaches, the KKKockroaches...
I lived in Houston for 30 years, where the local model of cockroach was a monster "palmetto bug". (They look like normal cockroaches but on 'roids.) They were everywhere, completely impervious to any pesticide -- they even got into the bathroom linen closet in our 1930s house and consumed an entire bag of Halls mentholyptus cough drops and were just fine. I think I'd put up with them again, though, if it was the price for getting rid of the Texas GQP.
Kathleen, 😂It’s so damn funny and yet it gives you a real fright when considering these are the psychopaths we have allowed to be in charge of the country.
What I would like to have happen to the Murdoch clan belongs in the Middle Ages, but more this century, let us just expel them back across any border since they are the kind of immigrants who lie, are deceitful, don't pay taxes, and steal our airspace.
I’ve loathed Newt for decades. I named my cat Newt after reading Aliens but changed it when that fuckweasle came along. He paved the way for TFG right along with the freedumb caucus. RIP Hilary, the cat formerly known as Newt ❤️
What you don't think a guy that tells his wife he wants a divorce when she is in the hospital sickbed, is mor... sorry, I can't even finish that snark.
Do you know what's safer than being a friend and supporter of Trump? It's better if Trump doesn't know you ever existed— he sticks it to everyone he knows.
I spell his name "Gnewt" because he is something that an evil witch would put into her caldron to make a poison. Nancy Pelosi was asked when decorum went to hell in Congress and she said it was when that mofo (my words) showed up,
Yes, Amphibean actually, I had them in my aquariums, when I was a kid, but they eventually escape to begin the land dwelling phase. My mother would find their dessicated corpses behind the couch.
In my past life as a photo assistant, I met newt at a photo shoot (in Atlanta). He was just as smug as he appears in interviews/on tv. He had an entitled air about him, looking down at us like we were underlings (female photographer and female assistant). He loved to hear himself speak and yammered on through the whole portrait shoot. It was usually fun and interesting to meet notables/celebrities on shoots, but being in his presence was a gross experience from start to finish!
Yuck. Sorry you had that unfortunate experience. I find my hatred for republicans reaching the point that I’d rather meet one of those fucking aliens. Sure it would kill me. But republicans are killing us. And the alien wouldn’t be a lying fucking hypocrite on top of it 🤬
“We need reporters not stenographers” thank goodness we have you to keep the facts up in people’s faces. They are doing everything they can to try and control women when it’s none of their fucking business!! Voters ARE typically lazy and dim. I just hope enough rational people show up in November to end this madness.
Agree with you Mike. I think we should all share this essay far and wide...to remind people. You cant say it's fake news when it comes right out of his trash mouth. I just despise him. 🙄
It looks like the only way to turn off a greater segment of the population towards Trump is to splatter him all over the MSM as he is his own worst enemy. I guess that’s a small price to pay for democracy at this point.
I just can’t believe there isn’t some woman somewhere who had an abortion paid for by Donny Dickface. But these evangelicals probably would make up an excuse for him so…
Here's hoping that the Republican women who voted against the different states draconian abortion laws come out a vote against TFFG and his congressional minions.
My position is and always has been that abortion is a personal and private matter. It is between a woman and her husband or a woman and her doctor. To me that means it is no one else's fucking business period.
The whole anti-abortion movement was created for the express purpose of controlling and punishing women for having sex (except in the 'approved' circumstances). Betty Fridan said it best: "if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament".
Huckabee declared a state of emergency in AK ahead of the eclipse event and released $100K to assist with the state’s “response”. I wonder where that $100K went, since there were likely no emergencies in that four minutes of darkness? Maybe there was a furniture “emergency”, and she needed a new livingroom suite for the Governor’s mansion. 😆
According to the Washington Post fact checker, in a single December interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump made 24 false or misleading claims in five minutes — one every 12.5 seconds.
That makes DFF the fruitcake of liars. No one can pack 'em in like him.
Some ahole posted that it was a scholarly legal argument that abortion rights belong to the states because the federal government has too much control with our lives. I responded “I take it then you’re in agreement with states that are getting abortion rights enshrined in their constitutions, though the GOP tries everything under the sun to stop those provisions from getting on the ballot”. Would you be surprised that I haven’t heard anything back yet?
The risk of Trump coming back can be more real than we like. It depends on whether enough Republicans think the Trump years as "the good old days," forgetting that it would be like Germans thinking of the Adolf Shitler years as "the good old days." And if Dems vote for any third party candidates.
Just read The Arizona Supreme Court banned abortion. What are these fools thinking? I can’t wait to see women across the country clean their clocks come November. Fuckers.
I'm so happy that getting abortion rights enshrined in AZ is going on the ballot. I signed the petition to get the ballot measure on there, hopefully the 500,000 others and many more will get abortion rights enshrined here in AZ in November and show that our "representatives" are "working" against the will of the people. It makes me so mad that they voted for abortion ban-hope we wallop them this nov. When I signed the petition, at the gas station, some older guy mad-dogged me after I signed for the ballot measure (the volunteer had left), so I just stared him down back until he turned around, but it was kind of crazy.
Hopefully this proposition will turn out a massive Democratic vote in November. If any male asshole harassed me about abortion, I’d ask him if he had had a vasectomy. If he replied “No,” I’d tell him, “Then you have no say in this matter.”
Nothing is preventing the Biden campaign and others from constantly including the "punish women" statement in ads. Although, I suppose trump will soon claim the clip is AI.
by the way, Chris Matthews was problematic as fuck and deserved to be taken off the air, just saying
He was. Like many insecure men, he lost his f mind over Hillary Clinton who had the nerve to be smarter than him.
Funny you should say that.
My wife has said the very same thing about Hillary Clinton. Most men despised her because she was a woman, and a very intelligent woman to boot!
Hilary Clinton was probably one of the very most intelligent person we elected in modern history. Bill was very bright as well. They are both too center-right for my preference but I voted for H Clinton due to the fact that she was 500 light years more qualified AND intelligent than orange terrorist.
Forget the seven deadly sins - unapologetic intelligence is unforgivable.
I knew, when she told those dangling male appendages in the republican party, that she would not stay home and bake cookies, (when they suggested she should, after Bill won) That they would smear her as much as they could for not being submissive to them.
If they could have burned her at the stake for saying that they would have.
Goes to show a college degree isn’t enough.
It’s the least of things compared to decency and morality
Yes, very intelligent, but a protégé of Kissinger and way too into bombing other countries. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hillary-henry-clintons-relationship-kissinger/story?id=39195203
Kissinger is in another category entirely. Perhaps even evil.
She was unsentimental about acting in the interests of the country, which is why she horrified Putin while she was Secretary of State.
But nowhere Kissinger level. That’s a narrative Gingrich promoted while his slime trail cruised through Congress.
Gingrich is a sick evil bastard
Oh yes the man that turned Congress into a casino. I would have taken a slightly hawkish Hillary over any regular republican doorknob, much less a buffoon like Trump. So much of an election is beating stupidity in the electorate.
I could not wait for KIssinger’s final demise. Too bad that he succeeded in lasting 100 years!
And check out Kissingers record on East Timor
Despicable
Thanks to Kissinger and people like him, the damage the US has done to the world is incalculable.
I believe it was the same about Nancy Pelosi she got things done
This reminds me of the first debate between HC and trump. He stalked her on stage, then stood right behind her and bellowed “WRONG” while she was trying to speak. I couldn’t believe that was allowed to continue. I thought his egregious and bullying behavior would be enough to show people who he was, and how he treated others. But no - as it turns out, that is precisely how many people, men and women, wanted HC to be treated: yelled over and put down because she dared to be an intelligent woman. It was difficult to realize the level of vitriol that some of America held for her.
It’s endemic. Taught, if not taught, implied. If not implied, modeled.
Such a fundamental impulse in some men I’ve marveled at, nauseated by them, while they flirted with or in a couple of cases, propositioned me.
And still do!
He’s an uncouth ill mannered barbarian hundreds of years behind polite society. In other words a POS
Smarter? That was not too hard
My oldest brother who I’m dead to said he’d never vote for a woman. He had no other reason. That was enough for him who was waited on hand and foot his entire life.
Why we know we have to do better (collectively) with our own sons. Everywhere.
I’m sorry about your brother. Truly. His loss.
Thank you! It needed said.
When I first started watching MSNBC, I thought Tucker Carlson was appalling (because, of course, he WAS.) But I didn't like watching Matthews either -- he wasn't (usually) as directly misogynistic, at least, but he was certainly creepy af.

I've just quit watching, period -- for political commentary, I read substack and subscribe to a few podcasts (some of those aren't even political! much, anyway...)
Chris Matthew’s never stopped talking! He was frigging annoying. I did not shed a tear when MSNBC let him go. I was, however, sad that Keith O left.
I worked with Chris Matthews’ wife at a TV station where she was the late night anchor.
I was a broadcast designer there. One night Chris came into my office and hit on me with his wife just down the hall. He was disgusting!
He’s trying to make a redemption tour and I sincerely hope that MSNBC doesn’t take him back.
Ugh
Smh
UGH! What a creep!
Thank you. He has a well earned horrible reputation and I can’t understand why MSNBC hired him in the first place.
Scarborough gives me hives
A other bloviator. That voice, can't take much of him either.
Tim Russert on Meet the Press. Stopped watching when he died.
Some people should actually try NOT to think—
"Fox warns that the eclipse will hide something more nefarious than the sun—it’ll provide cover for smugglers and cartels to “come right in.”
https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1777373772409925968
Maybe you have to admire those smugglers—they love their jobs so much that they will seek to take advantage of every 4 minute window of opportunity.
oh my god, that's the dumbest eclipse take ever. thank you for pointing it out, it will probably end up in 'this week in stupid'
It warrants it. Because - as Colbert pointed out(I can’t take credit), there’s this thing called “night”.
That was a great line!
In Trump's abortion video he again implies Democrats are pushing 'After Birth Abortion'. Tristan Snell had this take: In America, after birth abortion is called a 'school shooting'. Perfect.
What a superb line that should be hammered daily across America for the remainder of the election. Thank you Tristan Snell and hope that you’ll agree to allow Biden and Harris to use it freely to pummel the Trumpers, magats and those right wing SCOTUS.
oh, nice! in that case, the only thing Trump got wrong there was who was doing the pushing...
OH…That was absolutely the BEST!
The day before the eclipse I wondered how the magats were going to try and ruin
and politicize the eclipse for everybody. Then I thought, naw, there's no negative spin anyone not even those idiots could spin. Wrong.
These folks are a lot like cockroaches. For something that obviously does not have a brain they are amazingly smart.
But cockroaches will outlive us. At least according to Gregor.
And Keith Richards! 🤣😂
I'd be fine with Cher and Keith outliving us; it's just the cockroaches I wish would go away... the MAGAt cockroaches, the Heritage cockroaches, the KKKockroaches...
I lived in Houston for 30 years, where the local model of cockroach was a monster "palmetto bug". (They look like normal cockroaches but on 'roids.) They were everywhere, completely impervious to any pesticide -- they even got into the bathroom linen closet in our 1930s house and consumed an entire bag of Halls mentholyptus cough drops and were just fine. I think I'd put up with them again, though, if it was the price for getting rid of the Texas GQP.
LOL!!!
I believe that is what is called "Feral cunning,"
Yes, until the lights are turned on. And back to eating your lunch when they are left alone, in the dark.
That would be hysterically funny if it weren't so stupid and sad. Lucky smugglers got an extra four minutes. Wow.
Kathleen, 😂It’s so damn funny and yet it gives you a real fright when considering these are the psychopaths we have allowed to be in charge of the country.
What I would like to have happen to the Murdoch clan belongs in the Middle Ages, but more this century, let us just expel them back across any border since they are the kind of immigrants who lie, are deceitful, don't pay taxes, and steal our airspace.
Fortunately, another moment of eclipse peril will not threaten the United States until the 2040s.
Don’t underestimate. I was in Alabama when there was a light dusting of snow and cars were flipped upside’s down everywhere.
I saw the traffic jams, headed for the viewing.
I’ve loathed Newt for decades. I named my cat Newt after reading Aliens but changed it when that fuckweasle came along. He paved the way for TFG right along with the freedumb caucus. RIP Hilary, the cat formerly known as Newt ❤️
Incredible that we have to be lectured on morality by a someone who cheated on his cancer stricken wife.
What you don't think a guy that tells his wife he wants a divorce when she is in the hospital sickbed, is mor... sorry, I can't even finish that snark.
Do you know what's safer than being a friend and supporter of Trump? It's better if Trump doesn't know you ever existed— he sticks it to everyone he knows.
I named my cat Newt after Aliens! How cool is that?
They come out at night. Mostly.
I watched the movie again recently. That little girl was perfect. But it was the book that made her my hero ❤️
I spell his name "Gnewt" because he is something that an evil witch would put into her caldron to make a poison. Nancy Pelosi was asked when decorum went to hell in Congress and she said it was when that mofo (my words) showed up,
Actually a newt is a little lizard....I think.
Yes, Amphibean actually, I had them in my aquariums, when I was a kid, but they eventually escape to begin the land dwelling phase. My mother would find their dessicated corpses behind the couch.
I much prefer the little ones than the big bastard from Georgia. Maybe someone will find his corpse behind his couch soon.
Yes, the little ones are really cute, and fascinating to watch. I was considering getting them again.
May you be a prophet!
Love this
In my past life as a photo assistant, I met newt at a photo shoot (in Atlanta). He was just as smug as he appears in interviews/on tv.

No question about it. Trump assumes that voters are even dumber than he is.
That’s how they like them and that’s how they raise them.
his voters are that's for sure.
GMTA!
And he is RIGHT!!!
To be fair, his voters certainly are.
DJT, “I love the uneducated”. What a back handed comment. Can you imagine being in that crowd?
“We need reporters not stenographers” thank goodness we have you to keep the facts up in people’s faces. They are doing everything they can to try and control women when it’s none of their fucking business!! Voters ARE typically lazy and dim. I just hope enough rational people show up in November to end this madness.
I think this issue will drive us to the polls.
Agree with you Mike. I think we should all share this essay far and wide...to remind people. You cant say it's fake news when it comes right out of his trash mouth. I just despise him. 🙄

I just can’t believe there isn’t some woman somewhere who had an abortion paid for by Donny Dickface. But these evangelicals probably would make up an excuse for him so…
I know. It’s all just so frustrating. I can’t believe we are in this mess.
Here's hoping that the Republican women who voted against the different states draconian abortion laws come out a vote against TFFG and his congressional minions.
My position is and always has been that abortion is a personal and private matter. It is between a woman and her husband or a woman and her doctor. To me that means it is no one else's fucking business period.
Whenever I say "If you don't like abortions, just don't have one," it always gets a Trumper super enraged.
Remember when George H.W. Bush was the national chairman for Planned Parenthood?
IIRC, the Bushes had a family friend who died from a botched back-alley abortion, so they became pro-choice.
And they had to downplay it. Laura especially.
The whole anti-abortion movement was created for the express purpose of controlling and punishing women for having sex (except in the 'approved' circumstances). Betty Fridan said it best: "if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament".
I remember your quote on a bumper sticker from the 70s.
Yes, because they just want to tell women what to do.
Remember when Rethuglicans used to believe that?
Yes, until they got dumbed down.
Hey Jeff, was hoping to hear a status report this morning on Arkansas…did they get through the eclipse okay?
remember, Arkansas' state of emergency lasts until tomorrow, so we don't know if they're out of the woods yet
Thoughts and prayers….
Tots and taters
😝😝😝

Democracy is a form of government where people can vote against getting ratfucked.
Not that anyone in power gives a single flaming fuck about your vote, but it's nice to be heard and subsequently ignored.
Some ahole posted that it was a scholarly legal argument that abortion rights belong to the states because the federal government has too much control with our lives. I responded “I take it then you’re in agreement with states that are getting abortion rights enshrined in their constitutions, though the GOP tries everything under the sun to stop those provisions from getting on the ballot”. Would you be surprised that I haven’t heard anything back yet?
The GOP has such selective application of the things they claim to want, don’t they?
Just a disgusting, lying piece of shit….That’s all I can say.
That pretty much sums it up
"he’s counting on voters being too dim to remember"
Hold on, I'll find it. There's a used "Mission Accomplished" banner around here somewhere...
Another imbecile
I believe his little tough guy video is going to blow up in his ugly fucking face. What a blatant assault on women.
The risk of Trump coming back can be more real than we like. It depends on whether enough Republicans think the Trump years as "the good old days," forgetting that it would be like Germans thinking of the Adolf Shitler years as "the good old days." And if Dems vote for any third party candidates.

we have to stand up because they count on us standing down.
not just with abortion, with everything.
Hopefully this proposition will turn out a massive Democratic vote in November. If any male asshole harassed me about abortion, I’d ask him if he had had a vasectomy. If he replied “No,” I’d tell him, “Then you have no say in this matter.”
How does it work that Arizona became a state in 1912 yet we are using a state from 1864?
