But, but, but . . . Teri, she’s NOT a criminal like THOSE OTHER people who have done HEINOUS things and deserve to be locked up.
Talk about white privilege. Because she’s white and a woman with status, whatever SHE does is copacetic. Criminal are Black or Brown, not White. Nine years will give her sometime to reprogram herself.
It would, except Ms. Peters sounds very much like the kind of creature Donnikins is--no ethics, no compassion no empathy and no brains. I doubt she'll find redemption.
My first thought was, "GEE, we can buy up the My Pillows and donate them to prisons," then my second thought was, "Nope, that would be cruel and unusual punishment!
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, not sorry, but this “patriot” deserves every single second of her nine year sentence. I think that is 4.730,400 seconds, but math is not my strong suit. One less Karen on the street.
Saw it IMMEDIATELY, how I love you. "Well you see, Dmitri.... one of our pilots, well, he went a little funny in the head...... Well how do you think I feel?"
Or some raging Christian Nationalist who believed that God told her to commit crimes in His name for His glory, on her way to try to help turn the USA into an Iran-like Theocracy, except a Christian Nationalist Theocracy.
1. I love the Judge in the Peters case. He shot her bullshit down with both barrels.
2. When Agent Orange refused aid to places that actually voted for him, the wake up alarm should have been loud and clear. His voters just hit the snooze button over and over again
I'm so glad my all-blue vote is in the mail. The Peters judge was a human after my own heart. I'd like to see more of these crooks treated as appropriately as this one was.
I mailed mine in. Then, since I was in the courthouse yesterday taking awesome grandkid #1 to register to vote, I strolled into the clerk's office to confirm the got it. That's how anal I was about voting this time. 🌊🌊🌊
I mailed mine from the post office one town over because one of our mail carriers is illiterate and I didn’t want it to land in someone else’s mailbox lol.
I love going to the polls because I’m rural with no lines. As soon as my surgeon scheduled surgery that day..BAM..I requested a mail in ballot. Mailed it the next day.
There is a price to pay for a hissy-fit — especially when her fellow inmates know she comes from a position of “privilege “. She obviously doesn’t seem to be a quick study which is going to make her life extremely more difficult than it has to be. But, fuck her— she made her bed now she can lie in it.
Are you saying her fellow inmates aren't sympathetic to Karens? And didn't she say she was a Child of God and all those other people weren't? I wonder if she'll become familiar with Christian humility during her stay.
...from he who looks like a cub scout compared to the Dear Orange One....Slicky Dicky Tricky Richard. The one I considered the worst. president. ever....until recently.....
All I could think of watching that arrest was when does she get slammed to the ground by several cops followed by a knee on her back? What? That’s not how everyone gets arrested? Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit sure did seem like Freedom Fightin’ Frieda was resisting arrest. It’s almost as if the perpetrator’s skin color matters more than their arrest behavior. Who knew.
The stupid MAGA bastards who keep falling for his bullshit will never learn. The one percent of aid that North Carolina received after that last hurricane should've been a valuable lesson learned. But no, their wicked heartless leader always has their backs and will take care of them. The only antidote for his level of toxicity is keeping his fat ass out of the White House and getting sentenced to life in prison.
I almost threw up when I heard on the news (just now) that Kemp was backing Trump up his lies about "Biden and Harris" having "given away all the FEMA money for immigrants", despite having called him on his previous LIES. Well, that Trump baloney that Harris has "given away" all the FEMA monies for immigration is A DAMNED LIE, as well.
As Vice President, she has nothing to do with distribution of FEMA money. In fact, this accusation from Trump stinks to high heaven of psychological projection...Trump actually DID divert massive amounts of FEMA money to the Department of Immigration and Customs to build detention centers and hearing rooms. Remember that Donny???? Of course not...
I'm originally from Orange County, CA. When I read that the Orange Turd tried to block funds there because he assumed they were all Dems I was gobsmacked. For a brief second I thought OCers finally had seen the light.
Anyone who lives in CA or is running for office nationally knows Orange County is one of the GOP deep red areas for the very wealthy. Politicians go there a lot for million dollar fund raisers.
I wonder if news will get to the newly homeless in NC that the REPUGNICANTS in their State Legislature play a huge role in why they are -- and most will remain -- homeless. (Hoping that they are ABLE to vote.)
Yeah me too. I printed their message postcards to 200 people. I would have done more but I have better cursive writing which would have gone faster. I wonder if anyone will actually get their postcards.
Yes. She got a little over-confident. Any advisers she had who didn't see that Adam Schiff had spent more years than Katie was in office building support in the party for when he made his move should have been fired for incompetence.
Katie Porter beat the anti-abortion conservative Scott Baugh in 2022. Unfortunately, it's not looking so good for Dave Min in this race. Wish Porter would've stayed out of the Senate race since she had a better chance to beat this guy a second time around.
Katie Porter, my favorite congressperson who gave up a Dem seat to make a senatorial run that she had no chance of winning against the Schiff machine (whom I sure hope beats out 1st baseman Steve Garvey). My daughter lives in her district which makes it more painful for me personally.
Considering Reagan was about to be indicted for treason over Irangate, until Barr killed the investigation. HR Bush Iran-Contra( Barr again). The quivering orange jello mold of rotting lab meat’s fuckery has to rank him top dog. Although he was a career criminal from birth!
That stupid brick barricade is the only wall this fuck has built. What was the point? I can only imagine the thoughts going through the worker's minds as they were told to stack up the bricks for dickhead to stand behind.
I honestly don't know what message he was trying to send there. It boggles the imagination that someone could go to a DISASTER SITE and pull workers off their crucial jobs of trying to find the missing and bring supplies to the stranded. He is the most selfish asshole ever put on this sad and sorry earth, and if someone could please invent a time machine and wipe Fred off the map before 1947, I'd shower that person with riches.
The bigger question for me is why wasn't he "helping" with the disaster recovery in his home state of Florida, where entire beach towns were flattened? Perhaps because he thinks GA is a better investment of campaigning effort?
Tina Peters is lucky she's white. Kicking a cop if you're a person of color probably would end differently.
Repubs always want deregulation, regardless of consequences. The public always loses. Don't these GQP idiots pay attention to what happens in other countries without stringent enough building codes?
Apartment collapses, fires, etc. Such stupidity. I hope that story of the NC legislature making housing less safe gets amplified.
tRump is a petty, shallow, vindictive asshole? Gee, who knew
The level of gaslighting is ramping up as FEMA runs out of money and Peewee Johnson says they don't need an emergency session of Congress. Meanwhile I saw a young woman on TikTok do a master class video on how FEMA funds work, while an old man from Wisconsin was squawking about how Biden was so stingy with FEMA and only gave $750. Let's have more of these young people who understand civics doing videos. Thanks Joe, Kamala and Pete for helping to settle the strike.
Some of them. But of course the ones that get their "news" on social media are just getting Russian propaganda, so none of the truth is getting through.
Thanks for your take on TRump being his usual shithead self. All of us with a functioning brain know that TRump is a despicable cretin who should never be allowed within a mile of the Oval Office EVER again. Kamala Harris is going to win and win big, as long as we all get off our duffs and vote for her and every Democrat on the ballots. WE'VE GOT THIS!!
I hope Tina (Trumps ROCK STAR!) is happy she listened to The Pillow Guy and Lauren Boebert and ruined what was left of her life. She deserves to be an example of what happens when you fuck around with our election process. FAFO. She's 79 years old and risked everything for what? Jeezus. I can't wait to not read her book, it should be a revelation.
I wish that the Trump J6 documents would have made it for more than one news cycle as well. WTF
And can someone please tell the MAGA morons that toilet paper is made right here in the good old USA and therefore is not affected by the longshoreman strike? Hoarders at it again. Thankfully that's over.
All the red staters talk about how everyone is leaving California because of the housing costs. Yes, buying a house in California is expensive, and new construction costs a lot more, because California does have a lot of building codes for health, safety, earthquake protection, energy efficiency, etc. But it's kind of like insurance (which apparently a lot of them somehow didn't have.) You're paying for it in hopes you never need it, but when it keeps your house from pancaking during an earthquake, or means your house doesn't slide down a hill or go up in flames from a single spark, then maybe it was a good thing.
People in NC without homeowners' ins? They get hit at least once a year by a hurricane, or remnants of one. Not sure of that frequency. That's like living in CA without wildfire coverage.
ok, I saw a post on Threads that claimed that Tina Peters told the judge she couldn't go to jail because she slept on a 'special mattress.' perfect batshit crazy thing to put in my post, thought I. but I couldn't find one reference to it in any of the six newspaper accounts I read about the sentencing. so I didn't use it, alas
In 1991 a Texas woman tried to kill a teenage girl who was a rival to her daughter making the cheerleading squad. When she was arrested, she asked the cop: “What do they wear in jail?” She wanted to look her best in the jail environment.
Tbh I was recently thinking that perhaps that Texas (cheerleading/mom) incident was the fork in the road …where ‘adulting’ either became optional / distorted?/ or had taken on a whole new meaning…😓😒
I would phrase it this way. It was an indication of the fact that competition and winning had eclipsed all other values in the United States. It was about that time that I read that pages were being torn out of reserved books in college libraries so that other students could not access required readings. Of course, online reading lists have made this manifestation of hyper competitiveness obsolete.
I don't call JD that. I've told Jeff several times I wish he wouldn't do it either. I think we contribute to the national malaise by repeating fabrications.
I can appreciate your opinion, but Jeff has his own style and it is his own Substack. If his style offends you, don’t read it. A whole lot of the people here enjoy his style and don’t care for your idea of changing it. I’m sure you would be much happier over on Dan Rather’s Substack.
BTW, ordinarily Jeff is a total stickler for factuality. He checked on six sites to see whether the crazy Colorado Lady really wanted a magnetic mattress. Jeff cares about factuality more than just about any commenter I know, and that is one of the qualities I really love about him. On the issue of JD the couch molester, jeff replied to me that everyone knows it's a joke. Obviously in this brain deficient country not everyone knows it's a joke.
I love Jeff's substack and read it with joy every day. I often post comments that are as complimentary as I can make them. This is the one issue where he and I part ways
This judge didn't fall for that I'm white I'm special schtick? When the lawsuits claiming election fraud start rolling in, I hope there are more judges like this one.
She’s just appalled. And she has health problems. Oh dear, well that changes everything. Her health problems didn’t interfere with her scheming. Roseann Barr will be happy to play her in the movie.
Yeah, I caught that too. Funny if it wasn’t so sad. I suspect Ms. Peters in her rational life is a decent person who spent too much time on OAN/Newsmax/Fox and not enough time reviewing her oath of office. I think the enormity of her crime is just sinking in.
Her personal form of insanity has a strong religious component. She addressed the judge before sentencing, beginning with the statement: “I'm a child of God, and God doesn't like it when people are mean to his children.” So, she sicced the Almighty on the judge. The judge remarked that he's never seen a defendant with less remorse for her actions. I'm not sure this lady has a rational life. She seems like a person for whom it's 100 percent her way or the highway. So glad she's not a relative of mine.
Tina Peters did herself no favors during sentencing either. She presumed the judge agreed with her that the election had been "stollen" and he shot that shit down. He said she was so un-remorseful and defiant, he had to throw the book at her. (paraphrase). This kind of consequences is SO satisfying. I can only dream of a time when we see it happen to trump.
I HATE him as well, Gina and Deb! And I almost feel remiss if I don't say it loud and clear every single day in every possible situation...I'm not sure whether that's extremely unhealthy or whether I'm just venting, which would make it okay!
President Biden came to our City - Asheville, NC - to let us know that he has our back. He walked the walk and brought calm, confidence, and reassurance with him. He made sure FEMA was here BEFORE Hurricane Helene arrived, on the ground, ready to go. Asheville and the surrounding mountains are decimated. Entire towns are gone, wiped off the map. Our people have died. Roads are gone. Bridges are gone. Infrastructure is gone. It will take decades to recover from this. If Trump gets elected we will NEVER recover because he will NEVER help anyone but himself. We know that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have our backs. FEMA’s efforts and the help from other towns outside of the belt of destruction are moving forward rapidly. This level of help would never happen under Donnyboy. He’s already spent his 3 minutes showing up for his disaster theatre photo op. Shockingly, he didn’t throw rolls of paper towels at anyone. From the City of Asheville and all the mountains of N.C., we say VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT - BECAUSE IT DOES.
Keep the faith Ellen. When tropical storm Irene decimated huge chunks of Vermont 13 years ago, we were thinking decades too. It’s amazing what people of goodwill can accomplish. Patience is a virtue. This will take time.
I don't know, but my kid brother loves stollen so much that every Midwinter (because Fuck the "War on Christmas" Bullshit!) he'd bring it over for Bollywood night*, along with European-style butter.
Incredibly fattening, high in cholesterol, and utterly delicious....
____
* For the better part of a decade while I was still married my then-wife, friends, kid brother and I would all get together to watch Indian films, even though none of us is Southern Asian. They all were fans of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and we'd heard "Bollywood" movies have lots of dancing in it, and originally it was to tide everybody over between seasons, but quickly became its own thing....
It's worth listening to the judge's sentencing comments - absolutely captivating. Having spent a lot of time in & around prisons (an occupational hazard) nearly every woman there is a victim of domestic abuse, broken homes, addiction etc. Princess Tina is in for a wild ride.
bonus points to anyone who spotted the Dr. Strangelove reference
But what about her magnetic mattress?!? How will she ever sleep? Nine years is a long time to go without.
LOL, just wait till Tina finds out the prison pillows are less-than-horrible, not big & fluffy. Prison blankets? OMG Tina's gonna Find Out.
But, but, but . . . Teri, she’s NOT a criminal like THOSE OTHER people who have done HEINOUS things and deserve to be locked up.
Talk about white privilege. Because she’s white and a woman with status, whatever SHE does is copacetic. Criminal are Black or Brown, not White. Nine years will give her sometime to reprogram herself.
It would, except Ms. Peters sounds very much like the kind of creature Donnikins is--no ethics, no compassion no empathy and no brains. I doubt she'll find redemption.
You mean the ones they bought from the MyPillow Guy?
My first thought was, "GEE, we can buy up the My Pillows and donate them to prisons," then my second thought was, "Nope, that would be cruel and unusual punishment!
It would also put money into the pillow guy’s pocket.
LOL, not that much...prices are dropping daily!
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, not sorry, but this “patriot” deserves every single second of her nine year sentence. I think that is 4.730,400 seconds, but math is not my strong suit. One less Karen on the street.
The tryptich of Capone is Rod Steiger playing Capone.
Purity of Essence.
👍👍👍
Saw it IMMEDIATELY, how I love you. "Well you see, Dmitri.... one of our pilots, well, he went a little funny in the head...... Well how do you think I feel?"
Fairy-tail? 🤪
Or some raging Christian Nationalist who believed that God told her to commit crimes in His name for His glory, on her way to try to help turn the USA into an Iran-like Theocracy, except a Christian Nationalist Theocracy.
One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies!
"Hello Dimitri...you know how we've always talked about something going wrong with the bomb..."
Slim Pickens riding that bomb!
I did right away. "Well, one of our wing commanders went a little funny in the head"
Merkin Muffley!
"after listening to Dear Leader drone on one too many times...Tina went a little funny in the head,"
"A little funny in the head".
1. I love the Judge in the Peters case. He shot her bullshit down with both barrels.
2. When Agent Orange refused aid to places that actually voted for him, the wake up alarm should have been loud and clear. His voters just hit the snooze button over and over again
I'm so glad my all-blue vote is in the mail. The Peters judge was a human after my own heart. I'd like to see more of these crooks treated as appropriately as this one was.
That same speech needs to be given to Trump at his sentencing. It will be someday soon.
Yes someday, but not soon I'm afraid.
🙏
I mailed mine in. Then, since I was in the courthouse yesterday taking awesome grandkid #1 to register to vote, I strolled into the clerk's office to confirm the got it. That's how anal I was about voting this time. 🌊🌊🌊
Excellent, not leaving it up to chance that some maga maniac dumped the ballot into a ravine
I mailed mine from the post office one town over because one of our mail carriers is illiterate and I didn’t want it to land in someone else’s mailbox lol.
I love going to the polls because I’m rural with no lines. As soon as my surgeon scheduled surgery that day..BAM..I requested a mail in ballot. Mailed it the next day.
Good for you! Hope the surgery goes well.🫶
Thanks so much. It’s not hugely serious. I JUST saw that our polling place changed. There will probably be lines so I’m glad I did the mail in thing!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.💐
Thank you so much!
good luck with surgery Karla!
Thank you so much! I just want to wake up quickly, come home and watch election coverage lol.
Let’s hope it’s a damn landslide…so you can rest! lol
Harris at the top of the ticket helps. Not that I think Biden wouldn’t be great but I was concerned about his chances of winning.
Especially the ringleader
This Marie!!
🏆🏆🏆 all blue, baby, YES!!!
I hope she stays for all 9 years as a "guest" of Colorado
Considering her insistence that she’s not a crook (should familiar?) and resisted arrest, time off for good behavior isn’t in the cards.
I'll bet she has at least one or two hissy-fits that will end up making her unpopular with her new neighbors!
There is a price to pay for a hissy-fit — especially when her fellow inmates know she comes from a position of “privilege “. She obviously doesn’t seem to be a quick study which is going to make her life extremely more difficult than it has to be. But, fuck her— she made her bed now she can lie in it.
Like
Are you saying her fellow inmates aren't sympathetic to Karens? And didn't she say she was a Child of God and all those other people weren't? I wonder if she'll become familiar with Christian humility during her stay.
That made me laugh. Thank you!
“I’m not a crook”, hmm… where have I heard that before???
...from he who looks like a cub scout compared to the Dear Orange One....Slicky Dicky Tricky Richard. The one I considered the worst. president. ever....until recently.....
AMEN to that!! People need to VOTE!! I need the boyfriend to get his mail in ballot.
Yeah, kicking a cop while resisting arrest -- not cool.
Front page type with an accompanying picture, thanks for the mention Kay-El!!
All I could think of watching that arrest was when does she get slammed to the ground by several cops followed by a knee on her back? What? That’s not how everyone gets arrested? Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit sure did seem like Freedom Fightin’ Frieda was resisting arrest. It’s almost as if the perpetrator’s skin color matters more than their arrest behavior. Who knew.
What if she moved a pot to another burner on the stove? That will get you shot in the head if you’re an old Black lady who called the police for help.
💔😭💔
Wonderful moment and I hope it made lots of maga buttholes pucker
Working in the prison laundry. At her age, 9 years is demographically a likely life sentence. Tough shit, you ignorant bimbo.
Just another gullible, attention seeking, hateful trump stooge that fucked themselves. Badly. Pay your dues, dumbass
Selfish bitch bimbo is more like it.
Since she got nine years, her convicted leader should get life.
Demographically, nine years is life for someone her age.
No doubt!
It would be appropriate for Bimbobert to share a cell!
The stupid MAGA bastards who keep falling for his bullshit will never learn. The one percent of aid that North Carolina received after that last hurricane should've been a valuable lesson learned.

Perfect analogy. His supporters seem to hit the snooze button on a regular basis... Damn them.
Snooze button!
I'm originally from Orange County, CA. When I read that the Orange Turd tried to block funds there because he assumed they were all Dems I was gobsmacked. For a brief second I thought OCers finally had seen the light.
Nope, my family still loves Trump. 🤮
Anyone who lives in CA or is running for office nationally knows Orange County is one of the GOP deep red areas for the very wealthy. Politicians go there a lot for million dollar fund raisers.
Haha, mebbe they should change the name to Orange Hitler County
Well, the OC did elect Katie Porter.
SAD.
I wonder if news will get to the newly homeless in NC that the REPUGNICANTS in their State Legislature play a huge role in why they are -- and most will remain -- homeless. (Hoping that they are ABLE to vote.)
Yeah me too. I printed their message postcards to 200 people. I would have done more but I have better cursive writing which would have gone faster. I wonder if anyone will actually get their postcards.
SO sad to think that no mail is being delivered because so many addresses no longer exist...
They may hear that, but they won’t believe it.
Letting Orangatang County go to hell would be a welcome event to this Californian.
Lol. I thought they were trending purplish. Am I guilty of wishful thinking?
Very lightly. Katie Porter's decision to run for Senate unsuccessfully has her seat going back to red next month.
Damn, I forgot about that. I was afraid it would turn back when she announced. She did great work as a rep. I’ll miss her white board.
Yes. She got a little over-confident. Any advisers she had who didn't see that Adam Schiff had spent more years than Katie was in office building support in the party for when he made his move should have been fired for incompetence.
100%
I hope she gets a cabinet position. Secretary of Commerce would fit her to a T.
That'd be good.
Katie Porter beat the anti-abortion conservative Scott Baugh in 2022. Unfortunately, it's not looking so good for Dave Min in this race. Wish Porter would've stayed out of the Senate race since she had a better chance to beat this guy a second time around.
Yes. Ego definitely got in her way and now she's out of the game right when she's needed.
Katie Porter, my favorite congressperson who gave up a Dem seat to make a senatorial run that she had no chance of winning against the Schiff machine (whom I sure hope beats out 1st baseman Steve Garvey). My daughter lives in her district which makes it more painful for me personally.
His voters just hit the snooze button over and over again. Truth.
He was very vocal about not helping Democratic states when he was prez. Nobody really blinked.
Considering Reagan was about to be indicted for treason over Irangate, until Barr killed the investigation. HR Bush Iran-Contra( Barr again). The quivering orange jello mold of rotting lab meat’s fuckery has to rank him top dog. Although he was a career criminal from birth!
They aren't "Woke" they are in a coma!
That’s a great photo on Jay Kuo’s site from Ron Filipkowski showing Peters on Stevie Three Shirts podcast and noting they’re both now in prison. 😂
That stupid brick barricade is the only wall this fuck has built. What was the point? I can only imagine the thoughts going through the worker's minds as they were told to stack up the bricks for dickhead to stand behind.
How long until he's selling autographed bricks?
I guarantee they're already filming the grift video
MyBrick®?
They're not letting MyCrack™️ Dude anywhere near those gilded blocks.
😅😅
He'll paint them gold and market them as Gold Bricks which matches his work ethic.
That might be EXACTLY why that little wall was built
I honestly don't know what message he was trying to send there. It boggles the imagination that someone could go to a DISASTER SITE and pull workers off their crucial jobs of trying to find the missing and bring supplies to the stranded. He is the most selfish asshole ever put on this sad and sorry earth, and if someone could please invent a time machine and wipe Fred off the map before 1947, I'd shower that person with riches.
The message was “Vote for me, see, I built a great new wall” 🙄🙄🙄
Why couldn’t someone in authority there just say NO! - we’ll give you a podium , but no brick wall. Ya understand?
Is there a reason we're not supposed to see his feet?
Cause they’re small and he wears lifts to look taller.. what a SHMUCK
The bigger question for me is why wasn't he "helping" with the disaster recovery in his home state of Florida, where entire beach towns were flattened? Perhaps because he thinks GA is a better investment of campaigning effort?
I loved the fact that his wall was badly built and was already falling down. Typical Trump construction. Did he walk around collecting donations?
No, that was Steve Bannon, who scammed the maggots into donating money for the wall and then kept the money for himself.
🥳🥳🥳 Sloppy Steve will be released from jail before the election. He does have a NY trial in Judge Merchan's court scheduled soon after! Sad 🥳
His knees were feeling vulnerable?
Can dodge behind it in the next hail of bullets! 👀
I wondered why he needed it too. He’s such a wuss!
Exactly 👍🏽
Tina Peters is lucky she's white. Kicking a cop if you're a person of color probably would end differently.

tRump is a petty, shallow, vindictive asshole? Gee, who knew
I hope in the joint that she is reminded daily about her whiteness and all it brings in the big house
You could add transactional, retributive, disgusting, grifting, treasonous... he is a world-class asshole!
I would put him in a class of his own. Seriously
He is THE WORST HUMAN.
I’d certainly like to put him in a prison cell of his own.
The level of gaslighting is ramping up as FEMA runs out of money and Peewee Johnson says they don't need an emergency session of Congress.

Will that FINALLY resonate with frick’n VOTERS???
Some of them. But of course the ones that get their "news" on social media are just getting Russian propaganda, so none of the truth is getting through.
Thanks for your take on TRump being his usual shithead self. All of us with a functioning brain know that TRump is a despicable cretin who should never be allowed within a mile of the Oval Office EVER again. Kamala Harris is going to win and win big, as long as we all get off our duffs and vote for her and every Democrat on the ballots. WE'VE GOT THIS!!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Yes. We got this 💙.
Thanks Jeff for making us laugh instead of crying.
Hope Americans have learned how important it is to pay attention to politics.
I hope Tina (Trumps ROCK STAR!) is happy she listened to The Pillow Guy and Lauren Boebert and ruined what was left of her life. She deserves to be an example of what happens when you fuck around with our election process. FAFO. She's 79 years old and risked everything for what? Jeezus. I can't wait to not read her book, it should be a revelation.

Happy Friday to all.
She's79? OMG.
“Let go of me! Give me the keys to my car! Give me the keys to my car!!”
I kept waiting for her to say “I want hot cocoa!”
Followed by, "Do you know who I am?!?!"
69 (years old - not intended as a sex reference!)

People in NC without homeowners' ins? They get hit at least once a year by a hurricane, or remnants of one. Not sure of that frequency. That's like living in CA without wildfire coverage.
It's the coast of NC that gets the hurricane hits all the time. The mountainous west of NC, hundreds of miles from the ocean, is not used to this.
That magnetic mattress is essential to receive the secret messages.
ok, I saw a post on Threads that claimed that Tina Peters told the judge she couldn't go to jail because she slept on a 'special mattress.' perfect batshit crazy thing to put in my post, thought I. but I couldn't find one reference to it in any of the six newspaper accounts I read about the sentencing. so I didn't use it, alas
In 1991 a Texas woman tried to kill a teenage girl who was a rival to her daughter making the cheerleading squad. When she was arrested, she asked the cop: “What do they wear in jail?” She wanted to look her best in the jail environment.
And someone made a movie about it: "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom."
Monetized the ‘crazy’… before or after reality shows kicked in…🤔
Tbh I was recently thinking that perhaps that Texas (cheerleading/mom) incident was the fork in the road …where ‘adulting’ either became optional / distorted?/ or had taken on a whole new meaning…😓😒
I would phrase it this way. It was an indication of the fact that competition and winning had eclipsed all other values in the United States. It was about that time that I read that pages were being torn out of reserved books in college libraries so that other students could not access required readings. Of course, online reading lists have made this manifestation of hyper competitiveness obsolete.
I think the ‘winning’ above all else is likely the bigger part of the answer… (ripple effect from the ‘greed is good’ era, sadly)? Idk
“Greed is good” has never gone away. People just don't phrase it that way these days,
‘Wall Street’ movie came out in 1987 ish…?
And the line between generations was blurred… and ppl could cross the line to work out their unresolved stuff?
Why? We call JD the couch fucker even though it was a fabrication...
I don't call JD that. I've told Jeff several times I wish he wouldn't do it either. I think we contribute to the national malaise by repeating fabrications.
I can appreciate your opinion, but Jeff has his own style and it is his own Substack. If his style offends you, don’t read it. A whole lot of the people here enjoy his style and don’t care for your idea of changing it. I’m sure you would be much happier over on Dan Rather’s Substack.
BTW, ordinarily Jeff is a total stickler for factuality. He checked on six sites to see whether the crazy Colorado Lady really wanted a magnetic mattress. Jeff cares about factuality more than just about any commenter I know, and that is one of the qualities I really love about him. On the issue of JD the couch molester, jeff replied to me that everyone knows it's a joke. Obviously in this brain deficient country not everyone knows it's a joke.
I love Jeff's substack and read it with joy every day. I often post comments that are as complimentary as I can make them. This is the one issue where he and I part ways
I remember that. It was shocking at that time, but that was prior to tfg and his permission to his followers to hate others.
Maybe Mike Lindell will send her a MyPillow.
Maybe he'll put magnets in it.
How about a MyFile? In a cake?
🤣🤣
Jesus Howard Christ on a Segway
🤣😂
I saw that too….
shit, I just found the video of her saying it. oh well, it's not too late to add it to the post.

She’s quite an entitled bit*h.
This judge didn't fall for that I'm white I'm special schtick? When the lawsuits claiming election fraud start rolling in, I hope there are more judges like this one.
She’s just appalled. And she has health problems. Oh dear, well that changes everything. Her health problems didn’t interfere with her scheming. Roseann Barr will be happy to play her in the movie.
That would be perfect. A raving lunatic playing a raving lunatic.😂😂
Omfg new low water mark in the maga aquarium of stupid ideas
magnetic mattress? 😒
Maybe as a consolation they could let her use one of Lindell's pillows, assuming that's not cruel and unusual punishment.
Yeah, I caught that too. Funny if it wasn’t so sad. I suspect Ms. Peters in her rational life is a decent person who spent too much time on OAN/Newsmax/Fox and not enough time reviewing her oath of office. I think the enormity of her crime is just sinking in.
I don't think she's a reasonable person Reasonable, unselfish people don't put forward those kinds of arguments after getting caught
But she said she is not a criminal. Surely the judge should take that into consideration. Some criminals just won't stop confessing. Pretty boring.
🎯
oath of office? what the hell is that??? (does the sarcasm come through?)
Never saw that coming 😁👍
Her personal form of insanity has a strong religious component. She addressed the judge before sentencing, beginning with the statement: “I'm a child of God, and God doesn't like it when people are mean to his children.” So, she sicced the Almighty on the judge. The judge remarked that he's never seen a defendant with less remorse for her actions. I'm not sure this lady has a rational life. She seems like a person for whom it's 100 percent her way or the highway. So glad she's not a relative of mine.
You make a point, and I was taken by the phrase when I read it. I know people in GJ. Conservative, yes, but decent people.
😂😂😂
omg!
Tina Peters did herself no favors during sentencing either. She presumed the judge agreed with her that the election had been "stollen" and he shot that shit down. He said she was so un-remorseful and defiant, he had to throw the book at her. (paraphrase). This kind of consequences is SO satisfying. I can only dream of a time when we see it happen to trump.
He sounded like a fed up ADULT 👏👏👏
His face palm was so eloquent. 🤦♂️
Sigh… And the good news is Liz Cheney and Kamala yesterday….
Yes, Tess! And what surprised me is that I don't think that I ever saw Liz Cheney smile so much! I thought they were very good together!
Yes! lol never saw her smile before either!!!!
I voted for Harris-Walz today and it feels so good!! Yay! 🗳️🇺🇸💙
Early voting starts in Ohio on Tuesday. I plan to be one of the first in line.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊🌊🥳🥳
I received my absentee ballot but it's magneted to the refrigerator; I enjoy walking past it and want to savor it a while before mailing it in.
I can't wait for early voting to start in NC (10/17).
Congratulations., Susan....you rock!💙👊💙🥳
Thanks! 👊💙
I hate hating, but I really, really HATE him.
Me too Gina
I HATE him as well, Gina and Deb! And I almost feel remiss if I don't say it loud and clear every single day in every possible situation...I'm not sure whether that's extremely unhealthy or whether I'm just venting, which would make it okay!
It's perfectly okay. Every single day.
President Biden came to our City - Asheville, NC - to let us know that he has our back. He walked the walk and brought calm, confidence, and reassurance with him. He made sure FEMA was here BEFORE Hurricane Helene arrived, on the ground, ready to go. Asheville and the surrounding mountains are decimated. Entire towns are gone, wiped off the map. Our people have died. Roads are gone. Bridges are gone. Infrastructure is gone. It will take decades to recover from this. If Trump gets elected we will NEVER recover because he will NEVER help anyone but himself. We know that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have our backs. FEMA’s efforts and the help from other towns outside of the belt of destruction are moving forward rapidly. This level of help would never happen under Donnyboy. He’s already spent his 3 minutes showing up for his disaster theatre photo op. Shockingly, he didn’t throw rolls of paper towels at anyone. From the City of Asheville and all the mountains of N.C., we say VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT - BECAUSE IT DOES.
VOTE BLUE!!!
Keep the faith Ellen. When tropical storm Irene decimated huge chunks of Vermont 13 years ago, we were thinking decades too. It’s amazing what people of goodwill can accomplish. Patience is a virtue. This will take time.
Cannot imagine what you are going through. Best wishes to you and your neighbors.
::the election was RIGGED and STOLLEN from him::
Mmmmm...I could do with some delicious stollen right about now....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stollen
My mother used to make dozens of them every Christmas. She gave them to her friends as gifts.
Your mother was amazing. I made one once, I was very proud of it, but dang, it's a lot of work.
🤣 Available at Trader Joe’s this December!
Also Wegman's, if that's a supermarket in your area.
Yes…stolen….love stollen!!! lol Or was this another spelling error that Jeff tried to pull on us?!🤣
I don't know, but my kid brother loves stollen so much that every Midwinter (because Fuck the "War on Christmas" Bullshit!) he'd bring it over for Bollywood night*, along with European-style butter.
Incredibly fattening, high in cholesterol, and utterly delicious....
____
* For the better part of a decade while I was still married my then-wife, friends, kid brother and I would all get together to watch Indian films, even though none of us is Southern Asian. They all were fans of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and we'd heard "Bollywood" movies have lots of dancing in it, and originally it was to tide everybody over between seasons, but quickly became its own thing....
Poor Tina also told the judge she can't go to prison bc she's sleeps on a special magnetic mattress...oh the fun her fellow inmates will have w her.
It's worth listening to the judge's sentencing comments - absolutely captivating. Having spent a lot of time in & around prisons (an occupational hazard) nearly every woman there is a victim of domestic abuse, broken homes, addiction etc. Princess Tina is in for a wild ride.
And didn’t he say “did I miss anything?” - and someone said ‘Yes’ - and then he tacked on 6 more months???😬😏
He did! It was great!
Yeah. All kinds of fun.😈😈😂
So does she use a weighted blanket with her magnetic mattress? Prisons sadly don't offer specialty blankets or mattresses.
