I really wanted to lead with Biden today, as it's the most important thing — but I didn't want to to depress the shit out of everyone right out of the gate
Honestly, leading with Biden would’ve hit like a hymn in a funeral home—true, heavy, and too much before coffee. Appreciate you easing us into the grief spiral with a Trump meltdown first. Balanced journalism in the age of screaming ghosts.
So sad. He's had to deal with the MAGA jackals for years and now this. Doubt this will shut any of them up or Tapper's shameless promotion of his book. We need to brace ourselves for the hateful comments from MAGA. Biden deserves better.
Democrats will have an impact on Trump's big nasty bill because the Republicans are so deeply divided among themselves. Now is the time to be calling your Republican representative or senator if you are so unfortunate to have one. Read about it here:
Absolutely worthless to call or write my R senators. One of them won't answer the phone and won't even allow callers to leave messages. Neither of them ever responds to comments or questions. I know this from about a dozen attempts. I'd be willing to bet there are plenty of other Rs who are the same.
Typical Rs. One of them is Bernie Moreno, a Peter Thiel fanboy who outspent our wonderful Sherrod Brown many times over, and thereby won the seat. The other is no-name Jon Husted, who took J.usta D.ick Vance's seat.
We need to cull zip codes within the Rethug's congressional districts so we can leave comments on their official sites.
I never understand why you have to be a resident of their districts anyway. Their job is UNITED STATES representative. All of us have something at stake.
Thank you. Between "the book tour" and "the interview," the air is being filled with all-Biden, all-the time. There are a number of sadnesses in this whole thing, that I don't think we need to belabor. Besides it will give Donold cover for all sorts of nastiness in the darkness.
I mean, I lead with Walt Whitman and all of his lovely friends (And lets get one thing straight, Walt Whitman wasnt.) <<< See What I did there? Smile.
I hated writing the live updates post for thistle today. Id much rather have just lead with my usual daily meditation and a cool queer post. (those tend to be met with more positives than the falling down bullshit happening to us all right now).
D always ends an unhinged diatribe with 'thank you for your attention to this matter' 😅....where does that come from...does he write that? These texts are preprogrammed to be sent automatically at a certain time. No one is up at 135a.
It’s okay. The man is a real Christian and therefore he does not fear death. Like Jimmy Carter, another real Christian. And unlike Shitweasel Mike Johnson, who, like his boss, bows down and sacrifices to Mammon daily.
Weird: my reply above "I think your timing was impeccable" was meant for Jeff regarding his placement of the sad Biden story. I should've learned by now that posting is often a crap shoot.
Pardon me but I have to explode. With the trump regime imploding, the only way corp media can save him is by making it about Biden. Joe Biden aged appreciably in office. But that is because he busted his ass running himself ragged trying and largely succeeding in addressing crisis after crisis after crisis. All the while suffering the fear of a father who went to hell and back to save his remaining beloved son from a horrible addition, only to see the maga cult of cruelty doing everything they could to put his son in prison for decades. And hurting while his son and wife and baby had to sneak out in the middle of the night to move elsewhere after being maliciously doxed. Joe Biden busted his ass for Jake Fucking Tapper and his family and their progeny like he did for all of us. But that is irrelevant because Jake Tapper wants the spotlight. Jake Tapper is incapable of shame or guilt. But if there is a circle in hell where one is made to feel shame and guilt for eternity, that is where the FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT belongs. Oh, and dems, grow a spine and show some outrage on behalf of the man who did more for this country than you could ever dream of.
Apart from his incredibly thin skin causing him to be endlessly aggrieved, being president is not stressful to this orange abomination of nature, since all he does is golf and fucking post his bullshit. You are right. The presidency took a lot out of Joe Biden and Obama too. Because they gave a fuck.
Also if your #1 pastime is bleating about various slights, grievances and a rigged 2020 - you gotta have plenty of time on your hands, come to think of it…😒
Time on his tiny hands that he is supposed to use to GOVERN, FFS. Grifting, golfing, and grievance-posting are why he wanted to be president and are all he wants to do.
H12thDoc, Apparently his main raison d’etre is to make people, billionaires, corporations, countries, lawyers, courts, prisoners/prisons, taxpayers and starving children, PAY him through bribery, ending programs or extortion— doesn’t matter.
No one mentions an 80+ year old man ALSO surviving Covid!!? (In addition to entering an active war zone🌻, walking a picket line w/the workers and doing bipartisan deals (?) - with no real / consistent media support :/)… *Long Covid isn’t out of the question - and he could still go biking and run a G7! GEEZus
Full disclosure: I believe I recall ‘shitting a diaper’ when Biden was on that train into Ukr… ngl (Dude has more physical courage than I ever will at least I admit it)
For me it started when the assholes wouldn’t acknowledge the difference between a Phd and MD that kills me and now dopey Jr starts it up again, so in his case he really doesn’t know he difference anyway but nobody got on them for THAT! They are willingly getting stupider by the day and it’s dangerous. I know they will make the grab for our SS because MONEY it’s a lot in the trust fund and boy do they want it I think it’s about 3 trillion they really want it! But it would last a decade sending life saving checks (small checks) out at a time, they want it! And to add to this rage I think this whole market is looking at a bubble and a double top loser that should form a gigantic cup that takes time but there is no value they are all overpriced! Got to come down to buy stay away.
Have faith in karma. None of these shit breathing MAGAs have left this earth yet. You don't know what's in store for them down the road. I don't believe in the afterlife, so either you get yours here or not at all. As a nurse, I know well that life isn't fair.
This is exactly on target. Tapper's pulling nearly the same shit as the 'tell all' books about Donald v.1--Bolton, for instance: telling us after the fact how awful Donnie Demento's 1st term was didn't do us much good, since none of the profiteers let us know about the exteent of the shit at the time it was happening. Tapper waits until Biden is out of office and there's absolutely no chance he's running again to write and publish his book: to what point right now, when the country is in mortal danger? My suspicion is that Tapper's motive is exactly what's happening now--every single news story about Biden's diagnosis includes a lengthy discussion of the book's claims: Tapper has set it up perfectly so that, while Donnie Demento tears apart the US, Biden's legacy is tarnished, even erased: everyone can chatter about how "mentally and physically unfit for office" Biden is (again--ignoring the fact he's not in office and will not be). I can't even imagine how delighted Tapper is to have learned of President Biden's diagnosis, so he can push his book sales and his agenda--with the cooperation of every other MSM outlet. He needs his face slapped so hard it should send him into the middle of next week.
You're right! He's an even better comparison to Tapper's manuever. Can you imagine if Woodward and Bernstein and Katherine Graham decided, 'ah, let's just hold onto this story until Nixon leaves office; we'll make a mint off the book sales.'
At the very least, stop whining about how President Biden cared too much for the country to walk away in the middle of America's fight for survival.
I've got news for Beto, Pete, Gavin, and rest of the creeps who are desperate for an excuse for their loss: You weren't what we wanted. For me you still aren't, and dissing the former president is only digging the hole deeper for yourselves!
As for #3, I assumed he was referring to something about their sex life. It never occurred to me that Junior thought Jill was a medical doctor. Gawd, the drugs will rot a brain.
I'm so glad you caught that! I've been sitting here with heart palpitations trying to figure out how to address this dumbness. Shit's bells! Jill's his wife, not his proctologist! PH.D! What, did Dumbass Jr. think Joe would drag out his prostate every day for examination? Maybe that's what Orange ass does but I doubt it. He probably can't even pronounce prostate. Hell, he can't even say the names of his cabinet and the countries he just visited.
I've never had a cell phone either... I've been called a Luddite, and I think that's a good thing, as long as you're not talking about vaccinations, etc. RFK Jr.'s opposite.
I have been having fun beating up some of those fucktards on facebook...michael mcguire, julio a pc, steven findley, harry KKKorslund...it's kinda fun if you wanna leave them there...it's a good outlet to yell at those fucks, and when you ask them to provide examples, facts and credible links, that's when they just look like the tools they are when silence is their 'answer'
Let me guess. “Yes, I could feel sorry for Joe Biden, but my really sympathies are toward the children of Gaza.” Is that the tenor of the bullshit you have been blocking?@
It's appalling especially with coked out dipshits like Jr. posting such vile, unsympathetic trash about a very serious cancer diagnosis. This heartless family and their sick cronies will be a big reminder how history does repeat itself.
He violated the warranty on his human soul. But I can say this about OHJB in comparison to Junior. OHJB will be surrounded by people who actually love him, because he's a fundamentally decent person. Junior's asshole father doesn't love him. All the pricktator cares about is the next bit of money and power.
The amazing thing about that coarse, debased family is that you think they can't possibly sink any lower into the filth and then somehow they manage it.
I'm just sending all my love to Joe & Jill and their lovely tabby.
Also, big shock that Don Jr doesn't understand that "Dr" does not always mean "medical doctor" and it sure as fuck doesn't always mean "oncologist". What does he even mean, "how did she miss it"?????? Does he think she has x-ray vision?
It's another slam at Jill Biden because she has a Ph.D., not an M.D. so it goes back to their attack that she's not "really" a doctor. And I'm sure there are plenty of MD spouses of men with prostate cancer who didn't immediately intuit that their spouse had cancer. (Also, Joe Biden got top-level care at Walter Reed for four years --- those doctors would have noted it if it wasn't so aggressive.)
Harris has barely said two fucking words about Trump since the election, and yet this blundering blubbermonster is losing his shit over the campaign still? She oughta post a video of herself lip-synching to Obsessed by Mariah Carey.
I was wondering if ‘blaming Joe’ actually gives Harris cover on the Dem side… I know she is still polling the highest. This way it’s damage control? Just spitballing
I'm a Boomer and Ph.Ds have always been referred to as doctor. We used to call our college professors doctor so and so if they had that degree. It was ridiculous the way Jill was attacked for it. She never tried to pass herself off as an MD. It's just the stupid Trumps trying to appeal to their GED or high school dropout base.
Per my internet search: “ The use of "doctor" to denote someone with a PhD or doctorate stems from the Latin word "docere," which means "to teach" or "a scholar". Historically, the term "doctor" was associated with those licensed to teach at universities, a license called "licentia docendi". This title was initially reserved for those in the Church who taught and interpreted the Bible, and later extended to academics who held the highest level of academic achievement, the doctorate”.
Um, according to the British interpretation, a doctor is a professional person, not a member of the upper class who has furthered his education. Harvard likes (d?) to follow the British standard. Ph.D. stands for Doctor of Philosophy. My father proudly stood by Mr. (Master) which indicated he did not (!) work for a living... My father taught at Rutgers and Berkeley, and he wanted to be addressed and Mr., or in a pinch, Professor. Dr., never. Since my degree is from Berkeley in Classics, I never dreamed of calling my professors Dr. Many of them were English, anyway, so Mr. was perfectly acceptable in the Sixties and Seventies. In my family, Dr. was a deflation/inflation of title, trying to impress ignorant people. Just saying...
In American universities, it is routine in academic settings to refer to people with earned doctorates as Doctor. Some professors are fine being addressed as professor, others as doctor, and others by their first name. Different universities and different departments within them are more or less formal depending on their backgrounds and history. There's nothing rigid about it, but it certainly isn't used as a bragging point to impress ignorant people.
No one with an academic doctorate is hoping they will be mistaken for a medical doctor and certainly would never pretend to be one. British practices are irrelevant to American ones.
Also, in the US, you don't have to be upper class to further your education. (?) Even middle and working class people can climb the ladder of academe as far as they desire and are able.
Dr. Biden has never pretended at all that she has anything other than an earned academic doctorate, she is proud of it, and she has a right to use the title.
In Canada, the use of Doctor is attached to people who’ve earned a PhD, D.Phil or a doctorate. I worked for 30+ years in an organization akin to your Science Foundation and when researchers were invited from other countries to sit on our peer review committees, they were addressed as Dr. I never encountered anyone who insisted that they be called anything else but the term Dr., even in retirement.
I have friends who’ve earned a PhD, D.Phil or doctorate from either the US or the UK and they are addressed as Dr. in a formal setting. They are never referred to by Mr. Ms. or Mrs.
To Shitgibbon and all the little Shitgibbons: JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! I've had it with your whining! Just let one MAGAt say something about Joe Biden in earshot of me. Fuck it! A night in jail will be well worth it! Send good thoughts to the Bidens, everybody.
“government of the grievance-babies, by the grievance-babies, and for the grievance-babies. what could go wrong?” That’s my new bumper sticker, unless you have a merch shop I don’t know about. And in other news, I feel so bad for the Bidens. They just cannot catch a break. 🥺 jesus h christ…enough already.
People no longer understand that usage of "of": government "of" the people means that the people are the ones being governed ("by" the people: the people are also the ones doing the governing; and "for" the people: the people are the ones in whose interest the governing is done). What we have is government of all the rest of us, by the grievance-babies, for the grievance-babies: it is being done to all of us, by them, for their own interests only.
Trump’s rage tweets at 1am are the political equivalent of throwing mashed potatoes at the wall and calling it governance. Springsteen calls him a tyrant, so now Bruce is part of a deep state cabal funded by Kamala and Beyoncé? Sure, Donny. And Elvis is hiding in Hunter’s laptop.
This isn’t “madman theory.” It’s Grievance Goblin cosplay.
Meanwhile, his treasury guy says “uncertainty” is a strategy. That’s not leadership—it’s economic terrorism in a MAGA hat.
And the media speculating on the “timing” of Biden’s cancer? Hell isn’t hot enough for that take.
Bruce sings truth. Trump screams into the void. One is an artist. The other is a tantrum with subpoenas.
If there's anyone who knows about "CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL ways to capitalize on a broken system," it is the Orange Mad King. As usual, his entire riff was another projection about the deepest abyss of his dark soul.
I really wanted to lead with Biden today, as it's the most important thing — but I didn't want to to depress the shit out of everyone right out of the gate
Honestly, leading with Biden would’ve hit like a hymn in a funeral home—true, heavy, and too much before coffee. Appreciate you easing us into the grief spiral with a Trump meltdown first. Balanced journalism in the age of screaming ghosts.
💯‼️
So sad. He's had to deal with the MAGA jackals for years and now this. Doubt this will shut any of them up or Tapper's shameless promotion of his book. We need to brace ourselves for the hateful comments from MAGA. Biden deserves better.
Jake Tapper should keep Joe Biden's name out of his filthy mouth for the rest of his life.
And fucking Stelter too what a pos!
Agree. I used to like his reporting, but he's turned into a bottom-groper like most of the media.
Now if Jake was roasting a MAGA...you'd better believe they'd do research to find something on him. But....Dem supporters aren't ruthless that way.
Both Stetzer and Tapper can just just the fuck up. All of them can. Wtf is wrong with these assholes?
Sadly..if anything they'll come after him harder. It is a relentless storm.
Democrats will have an impact on Trump's big nasty bill because the Republicans are so deeply divided among themselves. Now is the time to be calling your Republican representative or senator if you are so unfortunate to have one. Read about it here:

Absolutely worthless to call or write my R senators. One of them won't answer the phone and won't even allow callers to leave messages. Neither of them ever responds to comments or questions. I know this from about a dozen attempts. I'd be willing to bet there are plenty of other Rs who are the same.
Sorry to hear that.
Typical Rs. One of them is Bernie Moreno, a Peter Thiel fanboy who outspent our wonderful Sherrod Brown many times over, and thereby won the seat. The other is no-name Jon Husted, who took J.usta D.ick Vance's seat.
NAMES PLEASE!
We need to cull zip codes within the Rethug's congressional districts so we can leave comments on their official sites.
I never understand why you have to be a resident of their districts anyway. Their job is UNITED STATES representative. All of us have something at stake.
Kathleen- Thanks for the Excellent summary of t-rump’s great biggest badest bill. Please read and restack!
Thank you. Between "the book tour" and "the interview," the air is being filled with all-Biden, all-the time. There are a number of sadnesses in this whole thing, that I don't think we need to belabor. Besides it will give Donold cover for all sorts of nastiness in the darkness.
Such a difference …. Biden and Shithead. Biden … I feel great sadness. Shithead the world will be blessed if he departed.
I mean, I lead with Walt Whitman and all of his lovely friends (And lets get one thing straight, Walt Whitman wasnt.) <<< See What I did there? Smile.

And you know that...how? Some of us are actually nightowls.
Yeah I thought I was stretchin' it a bit....as retiree I AM up at 1:30a 🤣 too!
Yep. Not unusual for me to be up at 4:00. That's when the best old movies are on! 🫠
I’m up.
I suspect I’m part vampire. The good part, of course.
Of course!
bee-zarr
It comes from all the collections notices he used to get in his “King of Debt” days
Joe's a fighter!!!
Hopefully there will be a FUCK Jake Tapper post soon! What a PoS!
I read it 3 minutes after it broke, so I cried myself to sleep…
I’m serious
That Orange Wanker already depresses the shit out of us.. but Biden he’s another class act of kindness integrity and character.
It’s okay. The man is a real Christian and therefore he does not fear death. Like Jimmy Carter, another real Christian. And unlike Shitweasel Mike Johnson, who, like his boss, bows down and sacrifices to Mammon daily.
I think your timing was impeccable.
Weird: my reply above "I think your timing was impeccable" was meant for Jeff regarding his placement of the sad Biden story. I should've learned by now that posting is often a crap shoot.
Oh trump would blame Biden for giving it to him.
Pardon me but I have to explode. With the trump regime imploding, the only way corp media can save him is by making it about Biden. Joe Biden aged appreciably in office.

I like "puppet" better. Or stooge, patsy, dupe, figurehead, or tool. Especially tool.
AMEN on that last one, Doc.
H12thDoc, Apparently his main raison d’etre is to make people, billionaires, corporations, countries, lawyers, courts, prisoners/prisons, taxpayers and starving children, PAY him through bribery, ending programs or extortion— doesn’t matter.
That’s all he’s capable of doing.
Just like they did with Reagan, another cosplaying president. And the idiots bought it.
I guess this kind of cosplay will never end. How about Springsteen for president?
They fucked up bigly on that.

Unlike the deranged orange blob who struggles to complete a coherent sentence and looks like he doesn't know where he's at half the time.
And sleeps through his court trials and a pope's funeral.
He multitasked at his trial. He slept and gassed everyone in his vicinity
Just like he does now wherever he goes.
Now, now, Rick, he's asleep the rest of the time. Watch the eyes.

I believe in hell too, and Bon Voyage! assholes.
The three dots on the right bottom of your post will let you edit what you wrote.
No need to write another reply. Cheers
This is exactly on target.

Don’t forget WOODWARD 🤬‼️
You're right! He's an even better comparison to Tapper's manuever. Can you imagine if Woodward and Bernstein and Katherine Graham decided, 'ah, let's just hold onto this story until Nixon leaves office; we'll make a mint off the book sales.'
Let's call for a boycott of Tapper's book.
I really detest these Republicans.
Well said!
At the very least, stop whining about how President Biden cared too much for the country to walk away in the middle of America's fight for survival.
I've got news for Beto, Pete, Gavin, and rest of the creeps who are desperate for an excuse for their loss: You weren't what we wanted. For me you still aren't, and dissing the former president is only digging the hole deeper for yourselves!
We’ll see how this turns out for you, Cyndi.
Well said. Joe Biden has given so much from his heart to Americans. He and his family never looking for fame and glory.
1. Nothing says your country has turned into a shithole by investigating everyone based on a lunatic’s rambling nonsense.
2. “Strategic uncertainty” is code for “we don’t know how to get out of this without losing face”
3. Cokehead McBlowface Jr doesn’t understand the difference between a PhD and a MD. I thought Eric was supposed to be the dumber one.
Once again, I am flabbergasted by the profound stupidity that runs through that family.
It’s either a curse or inbreeding somewhere down the line
Grampa Drumph ran a bordello in Canada so there's something there.
Do they have webbed toes? Aha!
The cruelty disturbs me more than the stupidity.
I am flabbergasted at the idiot family’s following.
As for #3, I assumed he was referring to something about their sex life. It never occurred to me that Junior thought Jill was a medical doctor. Gawd, the drugs will rot a brain.
Eric IS the dumber one. He doesn't tweet as much because he can't figure out how.
Webbed hands. Inbreeding.
Hilarious, Robert!
I'm so glad you caught that! I've been sitting here with heart palpitations trying to figure out how to address this dumbness. Shit's bells! Jill's his wife, not his proctologist! PH.D! What, did Dumbass Jr. think Joe would drag out his prostate every day for examination? Maybe that's what Orange ass does but I doubt it. He probably can't even pronounce prostate. Hell, he can't even say the names of his cabinet and the countries he just visited.
Re #2: That dude is starting to look like an actor pulled out of a black and white silent movie (banker-villain)… I mean something is odd
It runs in the family.
I also commented on that, since my father used to mention it. "A Ph.D is NOT a doctor."
Looks like Jr. is catching up fast. Imagine the IQs of Dump and his two not so smart offspring?
Under 70, all three combined
This addled pricktator is still going. THIS is what Americans voted for because honestly, he hates the same minorities they do.
What a damn mess.
And just feeling sad about President Biden. Going to see how many clicks the clout-chasers get still crapping on him.
I have been blocking people on social media left and right
Facebook permanently suspended me for boosting my Anti Christian Fascism meme. Guess we know where Facebook stands on that.
May I congratulate you for your good taste and good fortune. Personally, I haven’t touched Facebook in a decade.
And some of us have never been on it.
its been about 5 months for me... I dont even have the App in my phone anymore...
I go to my desktop FB once a week check on a certain group that I follow but I do not bother to look at my feed... Fk them !
I've never had a cell phone either... I've been called a Luddite, and I think that's a good thing, as long as you're not talking about vaccinations, etc. RFK Jr.'s opposite.
Yes they are firmly in favor of it they also block any true information about about abortion and any reproductive healthcare.
FB - aka Fucking Bendover- cause we can’t let you diss the Right.
Read "Careless People" and you'll have all the disturbing proof of Zuckerberg and friends. Shocking. Z. is devoid of compassion.
Jeff, that is depressing.
Maybe we should reclassify our species as a type of hyena. Crowds of carrion eaters tearing the flesh off each other.
I have been having fun beating up some of those fucktards on facebook...michael mcguire, julio a pc, steven findley, harry KKKorslund...it's kinda fun if you wanna leave them there...it's a good outlet to yell at those fucks, and when you ask them to provide examples, facts and credible links, that's when they just look like the tools they are when silence is their 'answer'
Let me guess. “Yes, I could feel sorry for Joe Biden, but my really sympathies are toward the children of Gaza.” Is that the tenor of the bullshit you have been blocking?@
You can feel compassion for both. It doesn’t have to be either or. It isn’t a competition.
Me too
Thank you Jeff from 🇨🇦
It's appalling especially with coked out dipshits like Jr. posting such vile, unsympathetic trash about a very serious cancer diagnosis. This heartless family and their sick cronies will be a big reminder how history does repeat itself.
He violated the warranty on his human soul. But I can say this about OHJB in comparison to Junior. OHJB will be surrounded by people who actually love him, because he's a fundamentally decent person. Junior's asshole father doesn't love him. All the pricktator cares about is the next bit of money and power.
PRICKTATOR!!! OMG what a great new word!!! Love it Seth!!! Thank You!!!
I got it from Stephen Colbert!
Love it love it love it!!
Right on Lisa 🙌🏽
The amazing thing about that coarse, debased family is that you think they can't possibly sink any lower into the filth and then somehow they manage it.
I'm just sending all my love to Joe & Jill and their lovely tabby.
That living plague on the world that is the drumpf crime family are always sinking. It's what they do
They really are a living plague. They're so astonishingly, sordidly awful.
In every conceivable way. They prey on everyone else, directly or indirectly.
Also, big shock that Don Jr doesn't understand that "Dr" does not always mean "medical doctor" and it sure as fuck doesn't always mean "oncologist". What does he even mean, "how did she miss it"?????? Does he think she has x-ray vision?
The fact you make a hateful comment about a man who has just received a terminal illness diagnosis, is about as low as you can go.
Agreed- Junior is just a replicant of his father. That is as low a thing you can say
about someone who just got terrible news. I hop he snorts up some tainted fentanyl and keels over
I assume by "you", you mean Don Jr and not me???
The fact that one makes a hateful comment about a man who has just received a terminal illness diagnosis, is about as low as one can go.
For some reason we killed the indefinite pronoun.
English has some glitches
That’s why we in the south use y’all 😊
I like y'all but it's just too southern. It would be like cultural appropriation for us to use it, as practical as it is.
Well, there’s always ‘youse guys’, a northeastern one I’ve heard.
It's another slam at Jill Biden because she has a Ph.D., not an M.D. so it goes back to their attack that she's not "really" a doctor. And I'm sure there are plenty of MD spouses of men with prostate cancer who didn't immediately intuit that their spouse had cancer. (Also, Joe Biden got top-level care at Walter Reed for four years --- those doctors would have noted it if it wasn't so aggressive.)
Her degree, I believe, is in education and English. Maybe he's suggesting that Jill should have guessed when his onomotopoeia was a little weak.
😆😆😆
Harris has barely said two fucking words about Trump since the election, and yet this blundering blubbermonster is losing his shit over the campaign still? She oughta post a video of herself lip-synching to Obsessed by Mariah Carey.
Why you so obsessed with me?
Boy, I wanna know
Lying that you're sexing me
When everybody knows
It's clear that you're upset with me
Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth, still couldn't hit this
I was wondering if ‘blaming Joe’ actually gives Harris cover on the Dem side… I know she is still polling the highest. This way it’s damage control? Just spitballing
Having Joe Biden as President for 4 years felt like oxygen.
Thank you, Joe.
Your nation holds you. 🙏🏼
👆how ‘Mpls’ of you ;)
JFC, junior, you dropped on your head once too often dunce.
DOCTOR Jill Biden's doctorate is in education, hence her long job history as a TEACHER, you brainless gibbering cockletwat.
I'm a Boomer and Ph.Ds have always been referred to as doctor. We used to call our college professors doctor so and so if they had that degree. It was ridiculous the way Jill was attacked for it. She never tried to pass herself off as an MD. It's just the stupid Trumps trying to appeal to their GED or high school dropout base.
Where did you go to college?
Per my internet search: “ The use of "doctor" to denote someone with a PhD or doctorate stems from the Latin word "docere," which means "to teach" or "a scholar". Historically, the term "doctor" was associated with those licensed to teach at universities, a license called "licentia docendi". This title was initially reserved for those in the Church who taught and interpreted the Bible, and later extended to academics who held the highest level of academic achievement, the doctorate”.
Um, according to the British interpretation, a doctor is a professional person, not a member of the upper class who has furthered his education. Harvard likes (d?) to follow the British standard. Ph.D. stands for Doctor of Philosophy. My father proudly stood by Mr. (Master) which indicated he did not (!) work for a living... My father taught at Rutgers and Berkeley, and he wanted to be addressed and Mr., or in a pinch, Professor. Dr., never. Since my degree is from Berkeley in Classics, I never dreamed of calling my professors Dr. Many of them were English, anyway, so Mr. was perfectly acceptable in the Sixties and Seventies. In my family, Dr. was a deflation/inflation of title, trying to impress ignorant people. Just saying...
In American universities, it is routine in academic settings to refer to people with earned doctorates as Doctor. Some professors are fine being addressed as professor, others as doctor, and others by their first name. Different universities and different departments within them are more or less formal depending on their backgrounds and history. There's nothing rigid about it, but it certainly isn't used as a bragging point to impress ignorant people.
No one with an academic doctorate is hoping they will be mistaken for a medical doctor and certainly would never pretend to be one. British practices are irrelevant to American ones.
Also, in the US, you don't have to be upper class to further your education. (?) Even middle and working class people can climb the ladder of academe as far as they desire and are able.
Dr. Biden has never pretended at all that she has anything other than an earned academic doctorate, she is proud of it, and she has a right to use the title.
Haven't been in California, have you?
In Canada, the use of Doctor is attached to people who’ve earned a PhD, D.Phil or a doctorate. I worked for 30+ years in an organization akin to your Science Foundation and when researchers were invited from other countries to sit on our peer review committees, they were addressed as Dr. I never encountered anyone who insisted that they be called anything else but the term Dr., even in retirement.
I have friends who’ve earned a PhD, D.Phil or doctorate from either the US or the UK and they are addressed as Dr. in a formal setting. They are never referred to by Mr. Ms. or Mrs.
I mean, I think that Swift and Springsteen should give Donny ShitsHisPants a birthday gift. A free concert.
Brother jeff, thank you for everything you do, and all your hard work.

At the free concert we can have DeNiro give the opening address.
To Shitgibbon and all the little Shitgibbons: JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! I've had it with your whining! Just let one MAGAt say something about Joe Biden in earshot of me. Fuck it! A night in jail will be well worth it! Send good thoughts to the Bidens, everybody.
All. Of. This.
Remember when T💩p said we'd get tired of so much "winning"? Clearly, he misspelled 'whining' because I am 100% tired of that sh!t.
DAMN STRAIGHT, CHARLES AUSTIN
“government of the grievance-babies, by the grievance-babies, and for the grievance-babies. what could go wrong?” That’s my new bumper sticker, unless you have a merch shop I don’t know about. And in other news, I feel so bad for the Bidens. They just cannot catch a break. 🥺 jesus h christ…enough already.
People no longer understand that usage of "of": government "of" the people means that the people are the ones being governed ("by" the people: the people are also the ones doing the governing; and "for" the people: the people are the ones in whose interest the governing is done). What we have is government of all the rest of us, by the grievance-babies, for the grievance-babies: it is being done to all of us, by them, for their own interests only.
pathetic douchebag, caligula wannabe.
Trump’s rage tweets at 1am are the political equivalent of throwing mashed potatoes at the wall and calling it governance. Springsteen calls him a tyrant, so now Bruce is part of a deep state cabal funded by Kamala and Beyoncé? Sure, Donny. And Elvis is hiding in Hunter’s laptop.
This isn’t “madman theory.” It’s Grievance Goblin cosplay.
Meanwhile, his treasury guy says “uncertainty” is a strategy. That’s not leadership—it’s economic terrorism in a MAGA hat.
And the media speculating on the “timing” of Biden’s cancer? Hell isn’t hot enough for that take.
Bruce sings truth. Trump screams into the void. One is an artist. The other is a tantrum with subpoenas.
Stay grounded. Stay loud.

If there's anyone who knows about "CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL ways to capitalize on a broken system," it is the Orange Mad King. As usual, his entire riff was another projection about the deepest abyss of his dark soul.
Ludwig’s corpse is resting easier tonight. The “Mad King” crown has passed. Too arcane a reference? Mebbe.
I assume Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria? At least he gave the world a fairy tale castle.
what, you don't think Mar-0-lago measures up?
Hahahahaa
We should differentiate between garish, MAL, and panache.
No it doesn't.
He was ultimately drowned by his handlers. Maybe there is hope?
Something not homicidal. Perhaps departure by cheeseburger? Or, just 8647 by impeachment.
Yup. That’s the dude.
He built great castles, though!
This is true. And not one of them has a golf course.
Not at all.
