There are posts on BlueSky showing masked ICE grabbing a woman protester in Chicago by the breast area and throwing her to the ground this morning. That might be something to follow up on.
Veronica, I would like to say that I am in Chicago. People I know are afraid of ICE. Yesterday I wrote this piece about the people that are endangered by ICE and how dependent I am on them.
Of course it is. 1) donnydemento with steven miller HATE women. 2) donnydemento and steven miller hate BLACK and BROWN women, especially the 'uppity' types who dare be Prosecutors, District Attorneys, run for Congress, the Senate, for VP AND PRESIDENT or 'gasp' are even appointed to SCOTUS by previous Presidents! How the fuck DARE they when their 'real work' is supposed to be as his lifelong servants?
I was thinking the exact same thing. I know everyone wears a white shirt under their tux vest--But, I wouldn't expect that creep to understand, let alone follow the norms.
Why did she feel the need to “impress with her breast”? She was in the presence of the King and Queen of England, whom strive to present themselves with dignity. Low rent, no class. Oh well, she IS DJT’s press secretary!
Who else thinks that Kimmel will be even more popular than ever after this?
I'd like to see Jimmy, Stewart, Colbert, Fallon...all of these brilliant minds team up and do something that shuts the diaper load down once and for all. A girl can dream.
Looking forward to some non-MAGA, non-suckup, non-money grubbing wealthy person to step up and found a broadcast platform that will not cave to this regime.
If MSNBC was smart they would give Colbert a talk show after his contract is over. It would help their anemic ratings, but alas they are afraid of Trump and not that smart
I fear that the new spinoff away from NBC will make MSNBC a bottom line focused place like CBS, ABC, Paramount, etc. Money over truth, it's the 'Murikkkan way!
exactly and that could have happened years ago- 0 well. i like to think that this is all a test for this great democratic experiment and it's not really maga that's the problem, makes it seem less scary
Maybe start a new streaming service NOT owned by an oligarch and NOT needing a license from the FCC? Pledge never to ever sell out to/merge with any other service, period, because that's how it always starts morphing into something greedy and right-leaning if not anti-democratic.
Yesterday while we were all busy being distracted by the Kimmel/Disney/ABC issue, which is extremely concerning, we’re still waiting for the Epstein reports.
6000 years old and flat, too. Don't forget flat. And they'll have to make up their mind whether dinosaurs ever existed at all or they existed along with humans. There are different "schools of thought" (🤮)on that issue.
Marco Rubio was unable to answer that question about dinosaurs when the Tampa Bay Times, years ago, asked him--the newspaper was vetting him to determine exactly how devoted he was to selling himself to the ultra-right-wing fundamentalists (aka the Christian Taliban). We still don't know The Rube's "beliefs" regarding dinosaurs, but the Times did reveal the answer to the real, underlying question.
Ahhhh...but WHY is Pee Wee German escorting KKKaroline instead of KKKatie? And yeah, no one wants to look at your headlights, KKKaroline, except maybe your husband, who is 59 to your 27. But there is no accounting for taste, and all's fair in "love."
Katie Miller took off with Elon. Is Lil Stevie Goebbels evening the score with KKKaroline?
I mean: Guys pushing 60 like her husband tend to lose steam in the bedroom. Stevie's not much of an upgrade—is that weird roll at his waist an early dad-body muffin top?—but if nips could talk, they'd say she's willing to give him a shot.
(OMG listen to me gossiping like an elderly Mean Girl WTF is happening to us?)
That’s a c section scar. Yeah he’s weirder than weird. That’s likely a Velcro tux for one pull and off. “Studs” miller . “ hey baby, wanna rub my head for luck ?”
What still bothers me is that the main stream media has not picked up on what Jimmy actually said. Read his words- Jimmy accurately said that the MAGA folks were calling the shooter every thing other than MAGA- trans, Antifa, ultra-left libs. That’s true. Jimmy did NOT call the shooter MAGA.
The crux of what got under that fucking orange rage baby's skin was that Kimmel showed the clip where a reporter asked Rump how he's dealing with the loss of Kirk, and orange hitler says "I think very good and by the way right there you see all the trucks, they've just started construction of the new ballroom. . ." and Kimmel said Rump was at "the fourth stage of grief, construction."
I find it interesting that, being escorted by Nosferatu, KKKaroline was not wearing one of 16-17 pound crosses. Maybe there was no room for Jesus on that bounteous display she was offering to the general public.
Speaking of past presidents who were less than exemplary in other respects, recall what LBJ wrote to The Smothers Brothers in 1969:
« It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists. You have given the gift of laughter to our people. May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives. »
Yeah, I guess that was before their show was cancelled because of their stand against the Vietnam War. From Wikipedia: “Their own television variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, became one of the most controversial American TV programs of the Vietnam War era.[2] Despite popular success, the brothers' (especially Tom's penchant for material that was critical of the political mainstream and sympathetic to the emerging counterculture led to their firing by the CBS network in 1969.”
In fact, it was after the show was canceled, and after he left the White House. The network had been cowardly, for sure; he had regrets over his perceived role and was apologizing.
Trump and his team have given enough comic material to the world to last the remainder of the century. His dinner speech had servers waiting on call to give guests the Heimlich Maneuver.
Thanks for the reminder that shit is not supposed to be this bad. It's very depressing but you help me get through it. Also, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. I really don't care who is in them.
Jeff’s right. The real danger isn’t just Trump throwing tantrums about comedians. It’s how fast we start treating tantrums as policy, and policy as normal.
Every autocrat plays the same game: make the absurd routine until people forget what sanity looked like. That’s how censorship sneaks in the back door with a goofy grin and a “just kidding.”
Laugh, yes. Mock him, absolutely. But don’t let the repetition numb you. Shit’s not supposed to be this fucked up, and if we start forgetting that, we’re already halfway to calling it Tuesday.
And he respects the American Constitution. AND actually worked for the American people. How many Red States are benefiting from the Infrastructure Bill? Huh? Did you idiots ever think of thanking him AND the Dems for passing it? No, you would rather police someone’s underpants than ever recognize actual “good works”.
We need someone with comedic elan (hint hint Jeff?) to create a web site to mercilessly mock Brenda (sic) (sick?) Carr. I dunno, put him in dresses, dildo(s) up his butt, holding Trump's penis with tweezers, etc. Just fucking mercilessly mock the everloving fuck outta him. The next phase would be add the usual cast of characters - JD, Narco Rubio, Pete the Pint (new cartoon character?) - MAGA is a target rich environment. And yeah, we would need to fundraise a shitton of money for a legal warchest. And dickslap them silly. This fucking media conglomerate consolidation shit is gonna fuck us all. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em long and hard.
My favorite part of that presser was when Trump said the four women who spoke truth to his face in a DC restaurant were "a threat" and should be jailed.
He was surrounded by thugs—I mean, Secret Service agents with thick necks—half his cabinet and applauding diners. But yeah—he felt threatened.
Just wait until he's back in FL where there are "stand your ground" laws and he'll have his goons just shoot everyone who doesn't like him. I mean, getting hit with some popcorn is deemed life threatening here. And just the other day courts ruled that cops can use stand your ground when they kill innocent bystanders. When they say nothing is off the table they really mean it.
Ms Spouse, last night: "what are you going to write about tomorrow?"
me: "no clue. I doubt I can write about Jimmy Kimmel two days in a row."
ha ha!
There are posts on BlueSky showing masked ICE grabbing a woman protester in Chicago by the breast area and throwing her to the ground this morning. That might be something to follow up on.
How is this the USA?
It's not. It's the FSA, Fascist States of A-murikkka
Veronica, I would like to say that I am in Chicago. People I know are afraid of ICE. Yesterday I wrote this piece about the people that are endangered by ICE and how dependent I am on them.
https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/view-from-chicago-no-ice-no-fear?r=f0qfn
We really need to defund Trump.
We need to charge and imprison Trump, although grabbing people on actual CHARGES is more courtesy than ICE is showing to non-criminal immigrants.
Such a lovely article
Nothing united about these states Veronica… as the crumbling republic gratuitously turns its constitution over to the billionaire criminal syndicate!
Please read Greg Olear's Substack on this subject. He had a discussion with Kat Abughazaleh who described this happening to her. https://gregolear.substack.com/p/acts-of-resistance-a-discussion-with
She was grabbed and thrown to the ground again this morning outside an ICE processing center.
Absolutely DESPICABLE. I can just hear a certain Barbie-doll-like-thing cackling away at all of this. Truly sadistic.
That happens to be a young woman running for USCongress in Illinois-Kat Abughazaleh
Of course it is. 1) donnydemento with steven miller HATE women. 2) donnydemento and steven miller hate BLACK and BROWN women, especially the 'uppity' types who dare be Prosecutors, District Attorneys, run for Congress, the Senate, for VP AND PRESIDENT or 'gasp' are even appointed to SCOTUS by previous Presidents! How the fuck DARE they when their 'real work' is supposed to be as his lifelong servants?
ya we live in the safest country in the world, huh?
Not by any stretch...not anymore.
With 400,000,000 guns whoever said we were safe?
She is also a candidate for office!

The midriff of Nosferatu Miller should be off limits. His fish belly white skin is horrifying.
Doubletake on that! The entire Trump troupe was dressed for Halloween.
The bare shoulders on display are not part of the protocol. And the Pig in Chief was practically hitting on the Princess of Wales.
I noticed that she stood well away from him when she had to shake his nasty hand. Probably forewarned that he would try to pull her in to grope her.
He hung on too long. And probably smelled awful
How did he forget to wear a shirt under his vest?
His dickey is too short. Which one, you might ask?
😂😂
😂😂😂
I was thinking the exact same thing. I know everyone wears a white shirt under their tux vest--But, I wouldn't expect that creep to understand, let alone follow the norms.
He got distracted thinking about escorting Nippy McBreastacles around all night.
😂🤪
I was thinking the same thing 🤮
My last wish was to see the Demon’s bare gut.
I was thinking’flounder’ when I saw it. (Plus WTH didn’t his wife disappear with Elon Musk?? Is the woman with him in that photo his mother?)
She's 27 year old Caroline Leavitt--Trump's Press Secretary--married to a man who is 32 years older than her!
Caroline needs a better bra, a better dress, and a better (e.g., not corrupt, lying, evil) personality.
Why did she feel the need to “impress with her breast”? She was in the presence of the King and Queen of England, whom strive to present themselves with dignity. Low rent, no class. Oh well, she IS DJT’s press secretary!
She was trying to out-trash Mrs. Fuckface
But those lips
🤮🤮
Also (gasp of horror) had his baby several months before he married her. I guess Catholicism has liberalized quite a bit.
She needed to "trap" the old man into marriage! 😂
He’s aged her cruelly in that case.
Yes, she's looking aged and overweight....(maybe it's the dress)
You mean the dress she liked so much she bought it a size too small because that was all they had🤔
🤮🤮🤮
Eueeer was my adjective
He’s a rotting sack of lab grown meat Walt!
“Wretch-ed.”
Was that a clip on shirt front?
Wretched.
No worries there will be a pile of new shit for tomorrow!!! 👍🇺🇸🥳
I went to the Jimmy Kimmel rally at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood yesterday.
There was a lively bunch there, but got off to a quiet, slow start and didn't have a lot of organization.
Also was disappointed there were no celebs (that I saw) that came out to support it.
Don't blame them though with the threat of danger still looming in public spaces.
I left early .
Who else thinks that Kimmel will be even more popular than ever after this?
I'd like to see Jimmy, Stewart, Colbert, Fallon...all of these brilliant minds team up and do something that shuts the diaper load down once and for all. A girl can dream.
Colbert’s opening was fantastic. So was his monologue. Then you follow that up with special guest, Jake Fucking Tapper? Click.
Ugh!
I've never watched these shows, I'm asleep by that time, but I hear all about them here.
I used to be able to stay up that light but thank goodness for YouTube and Substack! 😂
We get the "highlights" and that's all I need to see.
Absolutely, I would use the money I'm saving from my cancelled subscriptions to support them!
Looking forward to some non-MAGA, non-suckup, non-money grubbing wealthy person to step up and found a broadcast platform that will not cave to this regime.
If MSNBC was smart they would give Colbert a talk show after his contract is over. It would help their anemic ratings, but alas they are afraid of Trump and not that smart
I fear that the new spinoff away from NBC will make MSNBC a bottom line focused place like CBS, ABC, Paramount, etc. Money over truth, it's the 'Murikkkan way!
It will
Profit over ethics
The oligarch motto
But they are owned by NBCUniversal who is owned by Comcast. So they have Trump donors to deal with.
I nominate MacKenzie Scott!
If only one of these people had a thought other than “I will rule my own kingdom!”
exactly and that could have happened years ago- 0 well. i like to think that this is all a test for this great democratic experiment and it's not really maga that's the problem, makes it seem less scary
I was thinking the same thing about Kimmel
Maybe start a new streaming service NOT owned by an oligarch and NOT needing a license from the FCC? Pledge never to ever sell out to/merge with any other service, period, because that's how it always starts morphing into something greedy and right-leaning if not anti-democratic.
National comedy tour- SRO throughout the country!
Absolutely!
Why not? Anything is possible, always. That's one thing I do like about this life.
Oh you can’t kill our enthusiasm. That what they HATE! They have no spark. 🔥
They did it during the pandemic, they can do it again!
I'd love to see them collaborate and take a show on the road, with only jokes about trump and his flying monkeys.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens. Would you?
Yesterday while we were all busy being distracted by the Kimmel/Disney/ABC issue, which is extremely concerning, we’re still waiting for the Epstein reports.
I stand with Jimmy. I'm horrified by the way the Trump regime steamrolls over the Constitution.
And more. Get into their face.
Let's not forget the Dept. of Education is very soon to be the Dept of Christo-Fascist Indoctrination. yay.
Yup. Kids are gonna learn that the earth was born 6000 years ago!
6000 years old and flat, too. Don't forget flat. And they'll have to make up their mind whether dinosaurs ever existed at all or they existed along with humans. There are different "schools of thought" (🤮)on that issue.
Humans rode dinosaurs back in the day. We all know that. We're edumakated.
At least the ones who didn’t get eaten did. Learned that at church!
Marco Rubio was unable to answer that question about dinosaurs when the Tampa Bay Times, years ago, asked him--the newspaper was vetting him to determine exactly how devoted he was to selling himself to the ultra-right-wing fundamentalists (aka the Christian Taliban). We still don't know The Rube's "beliefs" regarding dinosaurs, but the Times did reveal the answer to the real, underlying question.
Oh god.
And that it's flat! *pukes*
Or the military - I read drunk Pete is planning to use Charlie Kirk in their recruitment...WHY?
Because females and trans and POC need not apply?
BINGO.
Hitler youth redux
The GOP’s polls are dropping. Gotta use unfortunate Kirk to keep the MAGA base alive.
When asked how I feel about the CK "national tragedy," I give them this: https://youtu.be/jl9xKw_xEas?si=nEOVWWrG2S81aLfa
Gee thanks Jeff - now I have to gouge my eyes out after seeing the picture of Gobbles with Axis Sally.
Ahhhh...but WHY is Pee Wee German escorting KKKaroline instead of KKKatie? And yeah, no one wants to look at your headlights, KKKaroline, except maybe your husband, who is 59 to your 27. But there is no accounting for taste, and all's fair in "love."

(OMG listen to me gossiping like an elderly Mean Girl WTF is happening to us?)
I am ashamed.
We can only fight back with the weapons that are available to us, Strange!
That’s a c section scar. Yeah he’s weirder than weird. That’s likely a Velcro tux for one pull and off. “Studs” miller . “ hey baby, wanna rub my head for luck ?”
KKKaroline's husband too old to lift those? They look kinda heavy
Thank you for "Pee Wee German". Made me laugh out loud!
We have a winner 🏆 That was tough to look at.
I am scarred; it will be a long time before that image ceases to feed my nightmares.
🤣🤣🤣
What still bothers me is that the main stream media has not picked up on what Jimmy actually said. Read his words- Jimmy accurately said that the MAGA folks were calling the shooter every thing other than MAGA- trans, Antifa, ultra-left libs. That’s true. Jimmy did NOT call the shooter MAGA.
And THEN he called out Trump's construction stage of grieving. I think THAT'S the one they didn't like
The crux of what got under that fucking orange rage baby's skin was that Kimmel showed the clip where a reporter asked Rump how he's dealing with the loss of Kirk, and orange hitler says "I think very good and by the way right there you see all the trucks, they've just started construction of the new ballroom. . ." and Kimmel said Rump was at "the fourth stage of grief, construction."
They will look for anything to smear us with. Best comeback, 1-2-3 up them. They want to be cool but are as blank as helll.
I find it interesting that, being escorted by Nosferatu, KKKaroline was not wearing one of 16-17 pound crosses. Maybe there was no room for Jesus on that bounteous display she was offering to the general public.
Oh please! When has maga ever dealt with truth?!

Colbert is such a decent man. Why can’t we have more of that and less with the nazis?
I often ask "Why can't we have nice things?".
They are not decent. They are blanks.
I don’t care how you dress Goebbels Miller up, you still wouldn’t want to take him anywhere. What a fucking embarrassment
Trump and his team have given enough comic material to the world to last the remainder of the century. His dinner speech had servers waiting on call to give guests the Heimlich Maneuver.
I'd want to take him out for a toss into the pit.
Thanks for the reminder that shit is not supposed to be this bad. It's very depressing but you help me get through it. Also, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. I really don't care who is in them.

The same late night hosts made endless fun of Biden. Never saw Biden throw a fit or try to get them fired. Because he wasn't a pussy ass bitch baby.
And he respects the American Constitution. AND actually worked for the American people. How many Red States are benefiting from the Infrastructure Bill? Huh? Did you idiots ever think of thanking him AND the Dems for passing it? No, you would rather police someone’s underpants than ever recognize actual “good works”.
WHERE IS YOUR CRITICAL THINKING, RED STATES??
I saw a piece showing that tRump is falsely taking credit for infrastructure projects using signs bearing his name 🤨
Yep, just like all the congress people taking credit for what they voted against.
I saw that, too. Couldn’t see THAT coming! What a first rate ganiff schmuck.
Texas’s facist politicos dumped ours in the Gulf of Mexico.
Oops! I mean Gulf of America.
We need someone with comedic elan (hint hint Jeff?) to create a web site to mercilessly mock Brenda (sic) (sick?) Carr.

Which makes him a whiny-ass baby COWARD.

Thank you for allowing me to laugh. A great one today !!
