You're good Jeff! Meanwhile, JD Vance, likely our next president before 2028, and his guest Stephen Miller did a full song and dance on the "Charlie Kirk" podcast about how nazi they plan to be now and when Jizzy Divan is in charge. The VP of the USA and the Deputy Chief of the White House Staff took a few hours out of their busy schedules to talk about seizing power and money from left wing NGOs and other organizations, and from people who donate anything to the Democratic Party for (checks notes) speaking their opinions about Kirk or anything else they find repellent about the right wing. And they want Pammy Jo Bond Villain to find a crime *after the fact* for which any outspoken left wing activist or citizen can be thrown in jail. One of them was very smug, the other one was practically rabid. I'm sure you can guess which was which.

The fascism is already here, folks. Goodbye First Amendment, unless the six mad ghouls on the SCOTUS want to throw a spanner in their....goodbye First Amendment!!

If his made-up initials actually stood for something, that wouldn't leave people free to make up thier own names for his initials. Might as well have been "BJ."

I predict he will change his name at least once more after the Trump presidency, as will the Trump grandchildren.

Yes, very appropriate! He is so sure that all he has to do is claim to have said the same things that Charlie Kirk said and all of Kirk's followers will immediately turn and worship him! Sorry, JD, you can't suddenly have the 'charm and charisma' just by claiming it ... You don't have tRump's pull and you don't have Kirk's, either.

Yesterday, on MSNBC, Katy Tur had a crowd on to discuss how horrible it was that there were college students who had witnessed Kirk's murder and had to go to classes today 'after that trauma'; there was much tearful speculation about Kirk's kids growing up to see the video of their father's murder online; according to the group, it was just unbearable to think about the widow, the kids, and all those attending the event having to try to "process" and "go on" after the terror and horror of the shooting. I actually watched the whole segment, because I couldn't believe what I was hearing.....

Too bad there wasn't a call-in, because I would love to have asked how those high school kids in Colorado are doing--or maybe we all don't care about them, because they were just part of the growing population of shooting victims and survivors who are the acceptable price to pay for that 2nd Amendment Charlie Kirk loved so very, very much. Those victims and witnesses and families are sacrifices Kirk was more than happy to make.

The best observation I’ve seen yet about anyone viewing the bloody horror of Charlie Kirk’s death comes from Jan6 hero and former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn:

“That violent, gross video we saw of Charlie Kirk losing his life? That’s what’s happening inside of classrooms, inside of schools. The only difference is, it’s not recorded. It’s not on national TV.”

He is not a President. A President "takes care that the laws are faithfully executed": a President does not get to pick and choose which laws he likes, or to make laws by his own whim. A President is our servant: Trump thinks he is our boss, and can never be a public servant of any kind because the concept of "service" is beyond his comprehension. He was not eligible to run after a finding that he was an insurrectionist, unless he appealed that finding to *Congress* not to the Supreme Court which the Constitution does not give any role to, in such a case. The Court, as in Bush v. Gore, was usurping a political power it was not entitled to.

Right? And it's unlikely they will be fired from their job for daring to ask such a "controversial" question of the US president.

I'm scared, Uncle Jeff, hold me.

The Coalition of Reprehensible Flatworms is beginning to fray. John Yoo?!?! What Even The Royal Fuq On A Rose Bowl Parade Float???????????!!!!!!!!!!????????????

"...calls on Capitol Hill to curtail Trump’s military powers...". Yeah, as if. The only congresspersons who would suggest such a thing are Radical Trans Communist Nazis who hate America. Bondi will investigate them immediately. I mean, shit, if the American President, the Most Powerful Individual On The Planet can't summarily murder civilian foreign nationals on a whim, what's it all for anyway?

Sorry Uncle Jeff, I had to do two of them today.

I had to cut two articles today. I felt it was necessary.

1. Trey Reed -- https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-trees-shadow-why-every-hanging (This one is hard....honestly).

2. The Politics of Mass Shooters -- https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-politics-of-a-mass-shooter-they -- This is the world we live in now.

as always, Lkd/Restckd/Qted/Xposted.

Well the Trey Reed thing hit hard Uncle Jeff. With all the extermination and attack on trans, on minority, on progressive, and everything else, a senseless loss of probably a good kid just is down right fucking painful. And in a way that illicits so much fucked up emotion because it is just like a lynching. And the local police just dismiss it as an unaliving event.

It gets me SO FUCKING MAD.

Trump loves the pageantry that goes with being President but doesn’t want to do the job of being President. This stupid ceremony and marching band is just ridiculous. What’s the purpose except to massage his ego. What a disgrace to our country ! ! !

I just keep his sad birthday parade in mind. It never fails to make me smile. That squeeky tank? Chef's kiss.

All 4 of them look like they’re bored out of their fucking mind and are saying when is this going to be over. When he meets with Starner tomorrow he’ll go back to being the bully that he is and will embarrass the US again

Reminds me much of King Julien of the Madagascar movies I've watched with my grandkids.

Just like King Lear, he wants " All the name and addition of the king and none of the responsibility. "

Once again the Brits show that they are saner than us, what with not worshipping and actually having antipathy for a terrible liar who is in all likelihood a sexual predator cohort of Epstein

👏 👏 👏 You outdid yourself today, Jeff! I know you had a ton of material to work with, but even so…. And the part about the Windsor gift shop selling trump/epstein tchotchkes - priceless! Gotta give it to the Brits. By the way, do you think King Charles is just trolling him? I thought they all hated the guy. Why is he even hosting the fat fucktard?

I hope tomorrow’s column includes why Kash Patel proved himself, once again, to be so eminently qualified to be in charge of the FBI….not…

I really can't imagine why he was invited back after the last disaster. It's just too stupid. An earlier post suggested that they are trying to get a deal for Andrew when the files are released. That sort of makes sense.

The king just wanted some weird entertainment. He doesn't get to be around white trash much.

Great observation, that special brand of arrogant assholeness is rather unique, that level of entitlement with zero effort to have any intelligence or grace.

In the US we are led by morons and criminals. How much better it would be to be Led by Donkeys! The scale, the wit, the courage of their anti trump protest is off the charts. Donkeys, you rule. The emperor Caligula is rumored to have brought a donkey to the Roman Senate. He may have had a point.

No, as consul (one of two executives supposedly ruling the Republic, a less meaningful office under the Empire) for one of the upcoming years. Poor Incitatus did not get to be a consul because Caligula was assassinated before his year came up.
