oh, and in other news, Obergruppenführer Greg Bovino has now deleted all of his 'I'm running for president' tweets and is now saying he's not running. so, that was fun while it lasted
Wish someone would come to WI and make a few democrats running for governor DROP OUT SO WE CAN FUND RAISE FOR ONE TO BEAT TIFFANY. If he wins in WI the DEMS will never be able to count on WI for anything because we will be gerrymanders, and interfered with, and voter suppressed for the rest of eternity thanks to THE UIHLEINS who are part of that 2025 bs, gave us Scott Walker, and think Tiffany could be president. Do you think Trump is bad? here is your under-the-radar shitty candidate that NO ONE LEADING THE DNC SEEMS TO THINK IS WORTHY OF THEIR ATTN. WHY? BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A CANDIDATE YET!!! Yes they all have the right to run, but figure out a way to weed them out right now because we cannot survive Tiffany. We only have one white guy in the mix, in a state who has never had anything else as governor. The rest might be stellar candidates. I love Francis Hong and others in the race but can a black man or an Asian woman win in WI???
Tiffany wants the Apostle Islands to be a National Park instead of the more protected National Lakeshore, so he can ruin it with roads, and buildings and trash. Or maybe sell a couple of them off to the Uiheins for some condos and let the CLEARCUT THE SHORELINE LIKE THEY DID IN WISCONSIN. That is not what Gaylord Nelson Instended. Tiffany has been in their pocket and doing their bidding. Someone stop him! He's a lying, opportunist who kisses trump's ass and only votes the gop way. He does not have an original thought other than what Liz Uihlein tells him to think.
The Uihleins actually live in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago. He, Bill “Weather Tech” O’Neil and Ken “Run Away to Florida” Griffin bankrolled a campaign of lies toward a ballot measure to fix IIlinois’ fucked up flat income tax, which in turn is why Illinois has some of the highest property taxes in the country. Before Griffin decamped to DeSantistan, he gave a bunch of cash to the Museum of Science and Industry so his fucking name is on a big, granite sign next to the museum. I’d rather snorkel in my own vomit than call it the “Ken Griffin Museum of Science and Industry.”
I never call The Museum of Science and Industry anything other than that. I live in Chicago and I'm a former member of the MSI. I still get emails from them. I hate it when I see the "Ken Griffin" in the sender box.
Agree. It will always just be Sci & Ind to me. I practically grew up there back when it was free. I once made one of those medallions where you can stamp your name on them there and took the IC back home to the Bryn Mawr (71st and Jeffrey) station where I jumped off the train and put it on the track to be squished. Score!
That should be chiseled off someday too. They also have a compound up in Manitowish Waters, a community I used to like and respect. It is not far from me and I have not been there in years. They have ruined it with all their money and meddling. My dad, a good and decent man, worked for Schlitz after WW2 and would be ashamed of these people.
I went to riding camp in Colorado with a lot of girls from Lake Forest. Many were from the north shore, but we had a two-person south side contingent from South Shore. I remember Terri and I gleefully running down Bennett Avenue in the middle of the night as we waited to be picked up to go to the train station to leave for camp. Interestingly, that was one block from where Michelle Obama was growing up at the time although obviously we didn't know her family.
The Koch Brothers, the Adelsons. That guy who funded Rick Santorum's entire presidential campaign and suggested women should put an aspirin between their knees as birth control. RICHARD MELLON SCAIFE! I had a hard time forgiving Hillary Clinton for sitting down for an interview with his rag the Pittsburgh Tribute P.U. (Review) and sitting next to him while she smugly said she would've left her church if her pastor had said what Obama's pastor had, The Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, had said ("God damn America for the sin of slavery," usually edited to leave off the last party). But after her 2015 announcement speech in which she led with fair elections, my #1 issue, I did, especially after a. Martin O'Malley dropped out and b. Bernie Fucking Sanders annoyed the shit out of me and still does every day.
The Uihleins also interfered in Ohio pouring money unsuccessful into a ballot issue to raise the percent of vote needed to pass a ballot issue to 60% (right ahead of a ballot issue protecting reproductive rights that won by 57%) and successfully defeating Ohio's anti-gerrymander issue based on lies.
Same. Literally ANYONE should be able to beat that maga ass kisser Tiffany but we need a star. It makes me sick that we have to think no one but a white man can beat him, but if we collectively rally behind Francesca Hong, she could beat him. You’re right, he just can’t win. It would be catastrophic for Wisconsin.
Access to this website is so valuable as living in California information about the Uihleins is not well known in our part of the world other than Uline. I've given up trying to cancel their hefty products catalog to no avail so just dump it from the mailbox into the trash. I have been to Apostle Islands and it is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Tiffany also voted for the false electors, so he was OK stripping the vote from his constituents and fellow citizens so they could put the guy they thought should have won into office. Long story short: Traitorous liar.
Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s book is about to make the couch fucker look heroic and saintly, demanding full release of the Epstein files and outing the pedophiles
I’m almost tempted to buy their book to see what they have to say. This is what is sooooo frustrating for sane people. There have been scads of well-sourced books written along with newsletters and editorials over the years that have laid out how rotten trump and co. are and yet, here we are, sitting in rapidly warming water just waiting to be boiled.
Keep Claudia coming Jeff. She’s a breath of fresh air these days.
Haberman, like Bob Woodward, have now completely monetized their insider sources and are profiteering under the guise of keeping democracy alive. I wonder what cut of her book profits her Jewish Nazi bosses at the NY Times, Nepo-publisher AG Sulzberger and Goebbels-wannabe Joe Khan, scrape off the top.
Drumpf supporters don’t read well sourced books - they don’t want to be confronted with the truth. Pile all the facts within those book covers - it’s meaningless to them.
It doesn't matter. GOP voters aren't looking for heroic or saintly. They are looking for a guy who has sold them a fictional idea of a brilliant businessman and powerful masculine figure. JD Vance doesn't have anything like that to sell. He's an awkward, doughy putz. He's toast.
She has won a Pulitzer so she is not devoid of journalistic talent. Her mother worked for Trump, so his pedophile nature probably considers Maggie “forbidden fruit” even to this day.
Considering the antichrists gathered in the situation room trying to shield Orange Hitler from Epstein fallout, the description is purely relativistic. Haberman & Swan are saying that Vance wanted all of the Epstein files released, whereas the other fuckstains Wiles, Rubio, Blondi, and Blanche did not. Think beyond textualism.
That is really something. It reminds me of that Philip Dick.Sci-Fi show Amazon did called "The Man in the High
Castle". I never watched it although it is still on Prime...but it takes place in the US after Germany and Japan have won WWII.
The " Tea-Cup" Nazi for Pres? I don't think so. i said when they fired him, that vicious violent guys like this don't grow to be old. If the shame and embarrassment get to be too much, I can see him shooting himself. Hope it's soon. One major MAGA looney down!
I can't see that Bovino is any worse than Trump and his defective inner circle. Trump is too mercurial, materialistic, and self centered to be ideological, but he has always been a racist. Always. Since Nazi doctrine centers on racial and ethnic hatred, I can't see a difference between Trump and Bovino, except the trench coat. And Trump was happy for Bovino to be a high official in his personal Gestapo- until it benefited him to throw Bovino under the bus.
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
here's a thing our mentally-unwell president shit out of his mouth on live TV one hour and twenty minutes ago:
"Behind the scenes I must tell you Iran can't believe the press they get. They can't even believe it. And they told me. They said, 'It's amazing how well we're doing in the papers. We're not doing so well--' They're negotiating with us to make a deal."
A Christian Fuck PAC paid six figures to forge James Talarico into an AI dress — no disclaimer. He leads indicted AG Ken Paxton by three points.
They can't beat him on policy, so they built a body to mock. So let the GOP fuck around with Talarico and just make his gap ahead of Paxton even bigger and bigger.
Six figures is small beans to roll out a complex media campaign this fast. They figure they will AI their way to great victory, essentially trying to screech so loudly about things that aren't real that people forget what Paxton is. The race is going to be a biter, 3% is well within the margin of error in the face of this much chaos, and chaos is essential if Talarico has a chance of dislodging this monoculture.
Three things should be watched: how purple Texas can really get, how pissed the Tejano Familia is over the rat-fucking they've gotten, and whether Ma and Pa Kettle buy into the slop.
The constant is Talarico focusing on the people with his steady language and humane ideas. He speaks fluent Evangelical and has cred there that won't quit. To do it, he'll need cloning and teleportation because everyone will need to see the real him. The test here will come down to whether Texans will value that over the manufactured rage and hate. That's not my bet, because I know Texans.
I don't see a problem with Talarico as a candidate which is why Republicans are so desperate that they are just humiliating themselves (Does anyone really think that STEPHEN MILLER calling Talarico "trans" is going to influence people? Talk about someone with zero appeal to the public.) Texas' biggest problem is voter discouragement and suppression, and as I said above, I love that Beto O'Rourke's group, Powered by People, is working on exactly that, giving support to Talarico spreading his message.
I've been watching all this and pondering so long that I've started thinking some dark thoughts. The Left's shorthand language for why Things Are Bad are still accepted as gospel and not questioned much. I don't even know what 'suppression' means anymore, for instance. We've seen so much shit over the last year and a half that doesn't exactly align with the conventional wisdom of 'dangerous' actions by a lawless regime which implies that we're helpless in the face of it. Tell that to the Soccer Moms who ran ICE out of Minneapolis with minivans and whistles.
Nothing they try to do to us even surprises us anymore, and there is no lack of focus and comment about it anymore. Rank and file Dem voters are very pissed off with their 'leadership'. The DNC is running Bin Laden-level popularity right now, and their passive, pokey process is about to be blown out of the water.
I agree that the R's are humiliating themselves, but that hardly matters if the voters just take that humiliation as on themselves and vote as a retaliation in their rage. There's no way for Talarico to pick that lock without presenting himself as he really is, and let the Texas citizens decide for themselves. If they're as tribal and stupid as they've been all this time, none of anything will matter.
I don't know who you are referring to as "the Left." I think rank-and-file Democrats such as Talarico or Mary Peltola have a good grasp on what concerns the voters. Voter suppression isn't a mystery; I've worked on this issue for 20 years. It involves both putting out discouraging messages (and you are doing, inadvertently, and the GOP is doing purposefully by claiming elections are "rigged") and making voting harder with arcane ID regulations, inaccessible polling places and voter roll purges, among other things. The latter is what Beto's group is focused on, while Talarico is landing the messaging, double teaming Paxton as it were. I don't see where Talarico isn't presenting himself "as he really is."
The DNC was artificially proclaimed the uber-villain by the Bernie Bros in 2016 but they have very little to do with an of this.
Twenty years? I'm not even in the same conversation as you are.
The politicians are not rank-and-file, the individual voters are. Ken Martin isn't the boss of the Democrats, he's not even a decent office manager. That the DNC has very little to do with any of this is precisely my point. Talarico focusing on the people with his steady language and humane ideas is exactly what he should keep doing. The rest of us, thought, have some ratfucking to do.
I'm fairly informed as to the Republicans' tactics. We talk about them all the time. We "process our feelings" by rolling little balls of shit like that around in our hands. We triple-down on Land Acknowledgements. We screech that any attempt to rationalize the questions around all the Trans-children-athletes ... thing ... is tantamount to personally murdering a Trans teenager. Do we really think we will capture so much power that we will be able to cram all that down the throats of those that viscerally hate it, and then make it stick, forever? And yet at the same time play helpless in the face of the Right's mighty violence? Strength through helplessness?
Nope, you experts will declare victory when and if the Democrats retake the House. Then it'll be business as usual, a mandate will be declared to address all the Kitchen Table(TM) issues and mumble around so as to not have to actually prosecute the criminality that's been going on for a decade. Speaker Jeffries will be vindicated, and all will be right as he calms everyone down with his dulcet tones. Until it's not. Until the Democratic Party is boiled down for parts by the same forces that took apart the GOP.
Yes. I early-voted in our primaries a few weeks back, I checked my online registration last week. But your meaning is clear. The Republicans are desperate to disenfranchise everybody who isn't them, but they're forced to use very blunt instruments to do it. In my online ravings, I blurted out shit. Of course I know what suppression is, and that it's real. I just get irritated by the defeatist wailing about how so very awful all this is. We know exactly what we're looking at, we talk about it constantly, and I won't add to the bonfire by recounting it here.
The biggest problem the Republicans have is one of targeting. It's getting harder for them to tell who's on their side or not, given that their leader is gleefully sliming everyone without exception. So, a blunt-force maneuver to cancel mail-in ballots could net a non-trivial number of their own voters, for instance.
Indeed. I've seen his "Bless Their Little Hearts" in action. Savage.
It could get traction. The Texans I've known could get pretty suspicious if somebody 'protests a little too much'. False Witness and all that carries weight with them
While Talarico is spreading his message, they are working on not just registering but keeping in contact with Texas Democratic voters and have managed to hugely increase the number who turn out. They are also running a voter registration drive to re-register people who have moved who don't realize they get dropped from the voter rolls just for moving across the street. A favorite GOP tactic is purging voters in Democratic areas, and Texas has followed this blueprint.
I wonder how far they can take the "Let's pretend Talarico isn't a real he-man" thing. It's so empty and devoid of connection to voters' lives.
This whole thing Beto O'Rourke is doing right now in Texas is impressive and I wish organizations in other states would do the same, looking at innovative ways to turn out voters. It's frustrated me for years that going around trying to register voters and they are all already registered but then they don't turn out. Beto's group is laser-focused on sticking with the people they register to make sure they get to the polls and on getting Talarico elected. Remember he came within 2 points of beating Cruz so he knows that improving that by 2.5% will flip the seat. I love how he didn't just lick his wounds and cater to his ego, but is absolutely driven to elect Talarico.
Speaking as a ballot clerk from the rurals in Maine...our primary was Tuesday and I have worked every election and every primary since 2020 and I have NEVER seen the turnout that we had this past Tuesday. I never knew there were so many Dems in the area! I swear, except for 2008 when Obama ran, the Dem caucus would turnout oh, maybe 18 or so...we could've caucused in a large wood shed. We had a VERY busy day this past Tuesday.
I've read plenty of negative crap; editorials clutching pearls and bemoaning the lack of "fine" candidates for Maine Senate ("fine" meaning milque-toast candidates who pass a "purity test" but lack any kind of personality or charisma). Well perhaps Graham Platner wouldn't pass a purity test, but he sure has personality and a certain rough charisma and he is a fighter. He has met and spoken with many, many Mainers in a hundred small towns and all of our "cities"--something we haven't seen Susie do in 24 years*. Now she wants a 6th term--I don't think so, Susie. And if we have to choose a gravelly voiced oysterman with PTSD in his past to do...why then, so be it. If he gets out the vote the way he did for the primary...Susie Collins may finally be toast.
* Susie has served 5 terms in the Senate--30 years, and perhaps, when she campaigned the first time she did cross the state and shake hands with us "little people", but she sure as hell hasn't done it since. She lets her admittedly brilliant campaign ad staff handle that stuff and she seems to be running scared because she is putting out real nasty mud-flinging ads this time--although, of course her name is never mentioned...the nasty ads are financed through a PAC that answers to her: Pine Tree Results.
I thought it was hilarious when Trump was complaining about his bad press coverage, and Ainsley told him not to worry about it: “Mr. President, our viewers watch Fox. They don’t read the New York Times.”
Yeah it’s that ‘behind the scenes wheeler-dealer-business thing’ he’s got going… you know: love letters to KJU, gets along great w/vladdy (aka ‘switching sides’)…and 🇺🇸 ppl still seem to be onboard. Go figure
The number may or may not be true (we have to wait for confirmation from the more reliable Iranian reports.....); if it's true.......ummmmmm..........100 million barrels of oil is just about exactly one day's world consumption. So--yippee! One day of oil!!!!!
They're doing well, but they're not doing so well? What the fuck is he even talking about? How many milliseconds of faulty memories of events from the past 50 years did this senile dribbler just fuse into one incoherence?
i certainly hope they'll be handing out graphite rods to attendees of the fascist chud wrastling event with instructions to point them towards the brilliant flashes in the sky.
yes, anus mouth does like inflation....witness merde alotta faces
He fast-tracked everything and is using cement and concrete. So, cheap materials, no-bid laborers that don't know what they are doing, insane work hours, and a result that will mismatch entirely with the aesthetic of everything there. It'll get demolished, either by the newly created Department of Unfucking Everything Up, or We The People.
and by the way, when Joe Biden said his work wasn't finished and the results hadn't been fully realized yet, he didn't leave a physical wrecking yard of half-assed physical "projects" that never should have been started in the first place!
Jeff, Newspapers were fun! And not just the sports pages. When in Chicago riding the El Train you could get any newspaper you wanted all that was missing from everyone of them is the Sports section. That’s the USA when normal and it’s ludicrous.
It really isn’t in human capacity to understand just how demented, how fucking idiotic, how ignorant, how driven by the basest motives only this fucking guy is. How incurious about anything, how driven by fear and weakness and hatred. What a complete bigot, what a complete liar. All that is worst about our species is wrapped up in this rotting lump of dough.
He loves inflation because he thinks that means his stooges will give him two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches instead of one to go with his Big Mac, large fries, and Diet Coke
It's true. You are 100% correct. Trump is the worst of the worst in my lifetime.
I do not think he has dementia. He's 80. There is always going to be some fatigue, some memory lapses, health issues. I know. I'm 71 and I worry about 80s. He will probably claim dementia when we try to put him in prison.
I think he is psychologically broken, a sociopath, all wrapped up in a package of stupid, and an uninformed, dimwit who was passed through school because of daddy's money. He is a loser of epic proportions in every possible way imaginable. He is a serial killer but does not have the balls to do the killing himself; he just likes to watch, like the ICE guys and Greg Abbott. The worst that humanity has to offer at this place in time, and a good portion of his followers fit this category too. They will drop family members and decades long friendships for this vile piece of human garbage. I hate them. The rest are just ignorant morons and we made a mistake in not recognizing how stupid they actually are. I don't think I can forgive anyone for any of this. There is no excuse for Americans to vote for any PERSON, who will be a shit rep, but they would rather have a beer with them over the opponent. Remember that's how we got George W along with some cheating by the GOP. My golden years SUCK! I want them back!
If we ever get out of this mess, I hope someone puts a VOTING and ELECTIONS museum online and physically somewhere maybe on the mall and a traveling exhibit, about the times we have almost lost our country to fascism. About the facts of who increased or decreased deficits, started wars, lied to We the People. Showcase more notable and notorious acts during each admin. Trickle down economics, my ASS!
They can build their own libraries and tout their accomplishments. But let us fact check and expose the ugly facts as well as all the cheating and hanging chads, manipulating stats, and dirty tricks on the campaign trail that were not true and may have swayed an election. Swiftboating for example. Both sides featured and only hard facts. Try to get people educated about their responsibility as a voter to choose wisely based on their own interests, not corporate Americas'.
The 100 million barrels of oil lie should be in there. Why aren't reports coming through about what Iran says, what the middle east is saying, what other countries are observing and reporting while orange Shitler is locking up asylums seekers who are being killed, maimed and tortured in a Louisiana detention center hell-hole. Bombing random boats. Killing school children. MAKE IT STOP. Sorry to rant so long. I don't feel better really but had to do it.
If you fill a glass to overflowing with water chances are the surrounding area will get wet. If you fill a Dumpster to overflowing with white trash chances are you'll get a Washington DC that looks like it does now.
"What's going on?" is so appropriate for this world now. I wonder why we don't have new songs though. It's kind of sad that we used to be so smart and aware but now? Where are the protest songs? Why is everyone hiding?( Although we did have a fabulous Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar....but you can't really sing along with an entire Super Bowl halftime show.)
There are tons of them. (Start with "This is America" a 2018 track by Childish Gambino. In fact, intelligent hip hop is a good place to go.) The problem is that the entire music eco structure is fractured so that it's hard to find anything in the contemporary glut of music (tens of thousands of tracks released each day and no more gatekeepers). I think that's why so many people punt to older music, even younger people listening to music made before they were born. I was just reflecting the other day when I heard "Venus" by Frankie Avalon in the grocery that that track came out in 1959 — 67 years ago! — and how weird it would've been in 1959 if radio played tracks from 1892 — except there were no records and no radio in 1892!
Thanks! I totally forgot about Childish Gambino's song and damn that is a great one. You are right about our current music ecosystem and the mess it is, plus the punts to older tunes. It feels like we are losing something with regard to cultural touchstones and memory.
The What's Going On album is one of my all-time favorites. I still listen to it from time to time. Sadly, it's still very current even though it came out in 1971.
I’m an oldie like you Liz and I applaud your song choice. I wish someone like Weird Al Yankovich would rewrite that song substituting “Trump” for “War”. We need that right now. Maybe Doc and Frosty can collaborate — wink wink nudge nudge
Robert, thank you! That was a blast and I’m sharing. I was not aware of him. I am now flagellating myself for missing out on some fun stuff…after I’m done I will share.
He stood in the Oval Office and said the word love. Not for a person — for the 4.2% inflation rate draining our fucking accounts. A three-year high, and he called it great.The cruelty isn't the bug. It's the engine. And It's the engine he loves.
I don’t know how they calculate the inflation rate. The two things I buy the most, groceries and gasoline, are up more than 20%. Gas in my area is about 40% higher than it was in February.
A gallon of diesel here is running approximately $7.50 in SoCal. A 16 wheeler typically holds up to 300 gallons of fuel and gets about 7 to 9 MPG. So, boys and girls, my lame math skills show a commercial transport truck fueling up at $2,250 at each gas stop. Wonder why the price of eggs is so high?
It's a blended rate of a basket of commodities of which food and fuel are only 2. There are also various measures of inflation. Yes, it's complicated. But the two items you mention are the those that have captured the voters' attention.
Which is better overall - publicize his idiotic comments or ignore them totally? Personally I wish the MSM would ignore him as whatever he talks about is false, uninformed, fear mongering. Democrats need to focus on what they can do to right this ship. Distraction and redirection of any false topic is better than publicizing his nonsense isn't it?
Murc's Law teaches us that all of this is okay. America's Pilonidal Cyst—as he is not a Democrat—is insulated from accountability or attachment to reality. He or any of his droogs says something out of line? Don't worry, by evening there'll be something worse.
He's an unending Gish Gallop, an interminable forced meme who teaches us all about superposition, ontology and time dilation all in one horrible, rotting husk. Every day is filled with existential dread.
So folks, make sure your voter registrations are ACTIVE and you've been voting in the primaries. The only semblance of a check on Maladministration 2.0—and America's Pilonidal Cyst himself—is a Democratic impeachment+removal-sized majority.
We’re moving (same state, different town) in July. The Massachusetts state primary isn’t until Setpember, so we should have time to register for that, and for the general election in November.
The two biggest races and issues for the state (as far as I can tell) are the rent control ballot questuion,(lots of ads against it so far), and the Ed Markey vs Seth Moulton Senate Primary. Markey has been a stalwart liberal in the House and Senate for many years, so many that even one of his contemporaries has recorded ads for Moulton. Moulton doesn’t represent my district (we live in Lori Trahan’s district), so I don’t know much about him.
We need to get ourselves to Town Hall and registered soon after we move.
Put age to the side. Moulton is an overly ambitious, middle-of-the-road Democratic who was one of a group of younger white men whose ambition overtook their qualifications in the 2020 presidential cycle when they decided to (briefly) run for president (Others included such annoying figures as Tim Ryan and Eric Swalwell). The last young gun to do this got his ass handed to him and he was a lot better than Moulton with a very powerful asset: he was Joe Kennedy III and no member of t he family LOOKS more like a Kennedy.*
Ed Markey is reliably one of the very most progressive members of Congress. He and his compatriot Liz Warren have been the top two most progressive senators on Progressive Punch for months on end now. This effort to oust Markey, one of our staunchest fights for progressive legislation, based solely on his age is on my last fucking nerve.
* Kennedy, who was leading the polls by a huge margin early on, got shellacked at the finish line by the determined Markey, and instead of sulking and licking his wounds, stepped back and asked "Now that I quit Congress to run this race and lost, where can I deploy my skills, knowledge and power of my name to do some good?" and he founded The Groundwork Project, which funds existing grassroots groups in blood red, mostly southern, states to do organizing work. It doesn't start the groups or tell them what to do: it finds groups already doing the work, finds out what they need to expand and helps provide it.
If Moulton loses, he'll probably come for the Senate's #1 progressive, the only one with a 100% score on crucial votes in this session, next. She isn't up until 2030, but she will be 80 then. Perhaps she will even retire, although she is clearly in WAY better shape, physically and mentally(and morally), than Trump.
I think more people need to know about him because his reaction to quitting Congress to run in what he probably thought was a sure-thing Senate race, possibly setting himself up to be president, was wholly unlike a lot of what we see from politicians. There was an unusual aspect of humility. His organization does stuff like find a group in Arkansas focused on getting poor Black voters the ID they need to vote and getting them to the polls, and providing them with money to purchase a van and pay for gas and drivers. they don't dictate what the groups do: they figure the groups understand their own communities the best. And they continue their support; these aren't one-and-done grants. I really like their model.
I just looked and Seth Moulton is ranked 158th in the House with a score of just above 90%. That's still pretty progressive but a long way from Ed Markey , #2 in the Senate with scores above 99.5%.
Thank you for this, Anastasia. I live in a Boston suburb and have always been happy with Ed Markey, and my Representative Katherine Clark. I've written frequently to both and always get a response. I don't spend much time on videos, but when I do find myself on YouTube (usually to see Colbert 😪) I check the latest vids from them. My only concern with either of them is that they've taken AIPAC money in the past. They haven't recently, and I have written to them about it, but they aren't specifically promising to reject future donations. So, a concern for the future.
Could I just clarify something about AIPAC? Nobody "takes" AIPAC money — AIPAC just spends it on behalf of candidates they think will be friendlier to Israel. These are independent expenditures so candidates can't legally coordinate with them, though some candidates — mostly Republicans, surprise! — have pushed the boundary. And while some of the more avid "pro-Palestinians" have decided to make AIPAC an all-purpose enemy, it's become pretty toothless due to some of its hanky panky. As a de facto conservative group I don't think it has much influence in Massachusetts.
Katherine Clark is kicks ass! As the #2 person in House Democratic leadership, we should be seeing her kick even more ass as the #2 person in HOUSE leadership once Dems take over. While it seems to be popular in some quarters to knock Democratic leadership because they aren't miraculously overturning everything from the minority, I think we will see good things ahead when we take over the House.
The removal-sized majority is 67 in the Senate. This would require flipping 20 Senate seats from Republican to Democrat (or Independent willing to caucus blue). There are 22 Republican Senators up for re-election, lots of them in states like Idaho or Mississippi. We can only let 2 of them win? That is not a realistic goal.
Jeff, my Dude, I've been praying for flash floods ever since this white trash, MAGGOT supported event was mentioned. I wish HE would be close enough that HE'D get knocked the fuck out by one of the fighters. This is an abomination and embarrassment doesn't cover it for me. Twatwaffle is a worthless motherfucker.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.....great article!
Amazing that he's tanking the economy, bragging about committing war crimes and has access to nuclear codes; and yet the need to invoke the 25th amendment is barely mentioned. It should be front and center every day.
I hope someone is compiling a list of everything he says so his bottom dweller supporters will be reminded how much he doesn’t care about them when it gets closer to the election. Doesn’t care about our financial situation, loves inflation, etc. etc. I listen to some of the young debaters who have maga call in and they literally say if it was their own kid they wouldn’t want an adjudicated rapist for a babysitter, but if it’s a random kid they don’t care. So I guess unless it bankrupts them, they don’t care about any of the horrific things trump has done. Even raping girls. They are all morally bankrupt and in a crazy cult.
No, I was not named after the Grand Duchess Anastasia. No Jewish family whose ancestors were driven out of the shtetl in what's now Belarus would ever name a child after a member of the tsar's family. (It was my Greek father's middle name.)
I'll be convinced God exists if He sends enough serious lightning and wind to scorch that unholy mess into small slivers of shrapnel. The hideous arch "claw" is tall enough to attract ALL the lightning bolts!
Mrs. Spouse looked adorable with short hair. Trump will wear one of his hats if it rains. He will probably wear a Monster Energy hat. I sincerely hope that lightning strikes that ugly mess on our lawn that TAXPAYERS paid for.
Jeff, I want to review what was said in that Secure Room with Vance, Bondi, Blanche and others covering up for their god king and the Epstein files. In particular I want to observe the exact language that was used in the discussion concerning ….nipples.. and why was this the subject of a meeting… I’m no legal expert, but I’ve been around and it just seems as if these folks and the DOJ are acting like a legal defense team attempting to bury evidence so damning it will not see the light of day.. let’s get Mel in on the conversation about her nipples shall we?
Yes…that was a sickening thing to read about….his love of nipples and how they tried to DISTRACT from all that-in the situation room, no less!! OMG…they ALL must GO!
I watched The Romano Report and he related that story of how a victim of sexual abuse by trump said he was obsessed with nipples and caused her pain with his roughness. Preznit Predator must pay!
Of course they are. Trump projected his plan to weaponize the government all throughout his campaign. The second he nominated Bondi there was no question who she intended to work for.
Pamnesia Blondi was already on the Donnie Demento payroll during her stint in Florida: her nomination was her reward for her faithful service to him then.
Yeah, I seem to remember he “donated” to her campaign a large amount of $$$.. Basically buying her loyalty since she knew everything about Epstein since she was Florida AG during Epstein time..
That illegal donation was put through the Trump Foundation and was one of the reasons it had its charter pulled. But it wasn't about Epstein. She had just been asked to investigate Trump University when he made the donation, and promptly closed the investigation.
And it wasn't all that much--Pamnesia's willingness to ~look away~ from Trump University and hang the Floridians who'd been ripped off out to dry only cost $25,000.
Due to my own PTSD following rapes and a sexually traumatic, abusive relationship, my brain refuses to go there. What little that *has* been released, is turning up in my nightmares. Those poor girls! They don't only *deserve* justice, they require it. I understand Virginia Guiffrey's suicide only too well - she gave her life to help *all* survivors everywhere. Victims around the world need this. In fact, I think every person who has any awareness at all about Epstein needs this. Who wouldn't want to see consequences for the Epstein Class? Only the monsters involved.
I haven't seen any updates from the New Mexico investigation into the possibility of bodies buried on the site of the former Epstein ranch. I hope NM is still working on that......
And we should all be celebrating New Mexico congresswoman Melanie Stansbury who is like a dog with a bone on this. Follow her on Instagram. She posts update all the time.
Arne, I’m with you, right away this morning it was nipples this and that, these are morons and Trump’s are probably the biggest and ugliest in the history of nipples which I guarantee you has been around since mammals.
Sniggering about nipples aside, it's clear Trump paid to maul some woman's breasts. His own mother never shared her nipples with him when he was an actual infant because he was Hell's Spawn.
The radical left needs to dial up their Jewish Space Lasers and diabolical weather influencing masheens and create a bomb cyclone for deployment to the WH South Lawn
"...because the family of rabies-infected raccoons that live inside his pumpkin head chose that moment to chew through the wrong wires..." OMG! 🤣😂😅 I had just taken a sip of coffee. Now I have to wipe my screen clear.
I’m not just wishing rain. I’m wishing for those scary thunderstorms we had back in olden days when we lived in northern Virginia. The kind that sent the poor dog scrambling under the bed, with dark skies, lots of lightning bolts. and one time, softball-sized hail stones. Really. Nana went out into the back yard to grab one and stuck it in the freezer. It was there until we moved to Colorado. Which also has good ’n scary thunderstorms, sometimes with tornadoes. So, I’m wishing my brains out.
Great Claudia photos. That cocktail looks really good! Chin-chin! 🍸
oh, and in other news, Obergruppenführer Greg Bovino has now deleted all of his 'I'm running for president' tweets and is now saying he's not running. so, that was fun while it lasted
At least we know that JDV was shitting bricks for awhile.
Repugs shut that down pretty fast.
Wish someone would come to WI and make a few democrats running for governor DROP OUT SO WE CAN FUND RAISE FOR ONE TO BEAT TIFFANY. If he wins in WI the DEMS will never be able to count on WI for anything because we will be gerrymanders, and interfered with, and voter suppressed for the rest of eternity thanks to THE UIHLEINS who are part of that 2025 bs, gave us Scott Walker, and think Tiffany could be president. Do you think Trump is bad? here is your under-the-radar shitty candidate that NO ONE LEADING THE DNC SEEMS TO THINK IS WORTHY OF THEIR ATTN. WHY? BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A CANDIDATE YET!!! Yes they all have the right to run, but figure out a way to weed them out right now because we cannot survive Tiffany. We only have one white guy in the mix, in a state who has never had anything else as governor. The rest might be stellar candidates. I love Francis Hong and others in the race but can a black man or an Asian woman win in WI???
Tiffany wants the Apostle Islands to be a National Park instead of the more protected National Lakeshore, so he can ruin it with roads, and buildings and trash. Or maybe sell a couple of them off to the Uiheins for some condos and let the CLEARCUT THE SHORELINE LIKE THEY DID IN WISCONSIN. That is not what Gaylord Nelson Instended. Tiffany has been in their pocket and doing their bidding. Someone stop him! He's a lying, opportunist who kisses trump's ass and only votes the gop way. He does not have an original thought other than what Liz Uihlein tells him to think.
Boycott Uihlein products. Also ABC Supply. Wisconsin unfortunately has both the Uihleins and Diane Hendricks to fund the nonsense.
The Uihleins actually live in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago. He, Bill “Weather Tech” O’Neil and Ken “Run Away to Florida” Griffin bankrolled a campaign of lies toward a ballot measure to fix IIlinois’ fucked up flat income tax, which in turn is why Illinois has some of the highest property taxes in the country. Before Griffin decamped to DeSantistan, he gave a bunch of cash to the Museum of Science and Industry so his fucking name is on a big, granite sign next to the museum. I’d rather snorkel in my own vomit than call it the “Ken Griffin Museum of Science and Industry.”
I never call The Museum of Science and Industry anything other than that. I live in Chicago and I'm a former member of the MSI. I still get emails from them. I hate it when I see the "Ken Griffin" in the sender box.
Agree. It will always just be Sci & Ind to me. I practically grew up there back when it was free. I once made one of those medallions where you can stamp your name on them there and took the IC back home to the Bryn Mawr (71st and Jeffrey) station where I jumped off the train and put it on the track to be squished. Score!
Yup
That should be chiseled off someday too. They also have a compound up in Manitowish Waters, a community I used to like and respect. It is not far from me and I have not been there in years. They have ruined it with all their money and meddling. My dad, a good and decent man, worked for Schlitz after WW2 and would be ashamed of these people.
I went to riding camp in Colorado with a lot of girls from Lake Forest. Many were from the north shore, but we had a two-person south side contingent from South Shore. I remember Terri and I gleefully running down Bennett Avenue in the middle of the night as we waited to be picked up to go to the train station to leave for camp. Interestingly, that was one block from where Michelle Obama was growing up at the time although obviously we didn't know her family.
The koch bros were instrumental early on too and still one sticks their nose in sometimes, like for federal judges and such.
The partying brother died several years ago. His more reactionary brother still slithers the Earth.
too bad
(Wasn’t it from some carcinogenic Thought I read that in a NYkr article a while back…)
The Koch Brothers, the Adelsons. That guy who funded Rick Santorum's entire presidential campaign and suggested women should put an aspirin between their knees as birth control. RICHARD MELLON SCAIFE! I had a hard time forgiving Hillary Clinton for sitting down for an interview with his rag the Pittsburgh Tribute P.U. (Review) and sitting next to him while she smugly said she would've left her church if her pastor had said what Obama's pastor had, The Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, had said ("God damn America for the sin of slavery," usually edited to leave off the last party). But after her 2015 announcement speech in which she led with fair elections, my #1 issue, I did, especially after a. Martin O'Malley dropped out and b. Bernie Fucking Sanders annoyed the shit out of me and still does every day.
The Mellon family screwed over all the people at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Foster Friess was the aspirin guy.
The Uihleins also interfered in Ohio pouring money unsuccessful into a ballot issue to raise the percent of vote needed to pass a ballot issue to 60% (right ahead of a ballot issue protecting reproductive rights that won by 57%) and successfully defeating Ohio's anti-gerrymander issue based on lies.
Same. Literally ANYONE should be able to beat that maga ass kisser Tiffany but we need a star. It makes me sick that we have to think no one but a white man can beat him, but if we collectively rally behind Francesca Hong, she could beat him. You’re right, he just can’t win. It would be catastrophic for Wisconsin.
If anyone comes across any good, obscure oppo research about his past, send it my way. I'm on a committee and there is a lot of crap.
Access to this website is so valuable as living in California information about the Uihleins is not well known in our part of the world other than Uline. I've given up trying to cancel their hefty products catalog to no avail so just dump it from the mailbox into the trash. I have been to Apostle Islands and it is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
When I see a Uline truck, I give it the finger. I am from Chicago so this is personal, even apart from what he did to Ohio, where I live.
And Tiffany is NOT a conservationist. https://archive.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/tom-tiffany-has-been-a-lightning-rod-on-environmental-issues-b99547320z1-320987941.html/
Tiffany also voted for the false electors, so he was OK stripping the vote from his constituents and fellow citizens so they could put the guy they thought should have won into office. Long story short: Traitorous liar.
Oh yes. Do not trust him. His ads with his gray-haired mama, do not fool me.
California had so many candidates for governor we could have filled a book. We did manage to get a Democrat candidate out of it.
Sing it, sister.
he probably ran to the nearest couch.
Yes. He would have lost the race to the bottom that R supporters so relish.
Damn… really wanted to see that Teacup Nazi get thrown to the wolves outside his fascist echo chamber.
Silly me though, he’s hard to see anyway without a microscope and magnifying glasses.
Damn I was wanting this to last a bit to fuck up the couch fucker
Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s book is about to make the couch fucker look heroic and saintly, demanding full release of the Epstein files and outing the pedophiles
I’m almost tempted to buy their book to see what they have to say. This is what is sooooo frustrating for sane people. There have been scads of well-sourced books written along with newsletters and editorials over the years that have laid out how rotten trump and co. are and yet, here we are, sitting in rapidly warming water just waiting to be boiled.
Keep Claudia coming Jeff. She’s a breath of fresh air these days.
Haberman, like Bob Woodward, have now completely monetized their insider sources and are profiteering under the guise of keeping democracy alive. I wonder what cut of her book profits her Jewish Nazi bosses at the NY Times, Nepo-publisher AG Sulzberger and Goebbels-wannabe Joe Khan, scrape off the top.
Drumpf supporters don’t read well sourced books - they don’t want to be confronted with the truth. Pile all the facts within those book covers - it’s meaningless to them.
It doesn't matter. GOP voters aren't looking for heroic or saintly. They are looking for a guy who has sold them a fictional idea of a brilliant businessman and powerful masculine figure. JD Vance doesn't have anything like that to sell. He's an awkward, doughy putz. He's toast.
Couch Boy exudes insincerity, and even the most deluded MAGAts can smell it. He's too unlikeable to be elected.
Haberman has always been a sycophant. Never been a real journalist. She's a nepo journalist who loves Trump in spite of her sour face.
She has won a Pulitzer so she is not devoid of journalistic talent. Her mother worked for Trump, so his pedophile nature probably considers Maggie “forbidden fruit” even to this day.
JDʻs self-interest is for Trump to go away before the end of his term...so JD can step in. Not exactly saintly or heroic.
Considering the antichrists gathered in the situation room trying to shield Orange Hitler from Epstein fallout, the description is purely relativistic. Haberman & Swan are saying that Vance wanted all of the Epstein files released, whereas the other fuckstains Wiles, Rubio, Blondi, and Blanche did not. Think beyond textualism.
Wait, they didn’t listen to him? He’s VP for heaven’s sake. Huh.
Let's just start a great big story on some conspiracy site that he really IS secretly running and has zillions of dollars already.
He really is secretly running another site probably financed by Thiel his master
I had it bookmarked, but lost it when I changed phones. If I find it again..
Damn…I really wanted an SNL skit for that! :)
They might still use it. It's just too good to pass up. The problem is finding someone short enough.
The actor just needs to kneel. The SS overcoat will help.
😂
Oh greg, the interwebs live forever! You think we're going to forget this?

That is really something. It reminds me of that Philip Dick.Sci-Fi show Amazon did called "The Man in the High
Castle". I never watched it although it is still on Prime...but it takes place in the US after Germany and Japan have won WWII.
The " Tea-Cup" Nazi for Pres? I don't think so. i said when they fired him, that vicious violent guys like this don't grow to be old. If the shame and embarrassment get to be too much, I can see him shooting himself. Hope it's soon. One major MAGA looney down!
I almost wish Greg Bovino would run, if for nothing else than to reveal the gangrenous moral rot of the Republican Party.
I can't see that Bovino is any worse than Trump and his defective inner circle. Trump is too mercurial, materialistic, and self centered to be ideological, but he has always been a racist. Always. Since Nazi doctrine centers on racial and ethnic hatred, I can't see a difference between Trump and Bovino, except the trench coat. And Trump was happy for Bovino to be a high official in his personal Gestapo- until it benefited him to throw Bovino under the bus.
His website looked Gilead inspired
Thank goodness. Now crawl right back under that rock.
That was quick. I guess his exploratory campaign didn’t quite catch on.
Didn't quite get the, er, support he was for some reason expecting
You outed him!
As ‘Firesign Theatre’ put it for a different war “Heil Shikelgruber’ referring to Hitler in his real name.

today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
here's a thing our mentally-unwell president shit out of his mouth on live TV one hour and twenty minutes ago:
"Behind the scenes I must tell you Iran can't believe the press they get. They can't even believe it. And they told me. They said, 'It's amazing how well we're doing in the papers. We're not doing so well--' They're negotiating with us to make a deal."
https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mnzbyfig6k2l
what the fuck?
Jeff, Id like to also point out that
A Christian Fuck PAC paid six figures to forge James Talarico into an AI dress — no disclaimer. He leads indicted AG Ken Paxton by three points.
They can't beat him on policy, so they built a body to mock. So let the GOP fuck around with Talarico and just make his gap ahead of Paxton even bigger and bigger.
Total fuckwads.
Six figures is small beans to roll out a complex media campaign this fast. They figure they will AI their way to great victory, essentially trying to screech so loudly about things that aren't real that people forget what Paxton is. The race is going to be a biter, 3% is well within the margin of error in the face of this much chaos, and chaos is essential if Talarico has a chance of dislodging this monoculture.
Three things should be watched: how purple Texas can really get, how pissed the Tejano Familia is over the rat-fucking they've gotten, and whether Ma and Pa Kettle buy into the slop.
The constant is Talarico focusing on the people with his steady language and humane ideas. He speaks fluent Evangelical and has cred there that won't quit. To do it, he'll need cloning and teleportation because everyone will need to see the real him. The test here will come down to whether Texans will value that over the manufactured rage and hate. That's not my bet, because I know Texans.
I don't see a problem with Talarico as a candidate which is why Republicans are so desperate that they are just humiliating themselves (Does anyone really think that STEPHEN MILLER calling Talarico "trans" is going to influence people? Talk about someone with zero appeal to the public.) Texas' biggest problem is voter discouragement and suppression, and as I said above, I love that Beto O'Rourke's group, Powered by People, is working on exactly that, giving support to Talarico spreading his message.
I've been watching all this and pondering so long that I've started thinking some dark thoughts. The Left's shorthand language for why Things Are Bad are still accepted as gospel and not questioned much. I don't even know what 'suppression' means anymore, for instance. We've seen so much shit over the last year and a half that doesn't exactly align with the conventional wisdom of 'dangerous' actions by a lawless regime which implies that we're helpless in the face of it. Tell that to the Soccer Moms who ran ICE out of Minneapolis with minivans and whistles.
Nothing they try to do to us even surprises us anymore, and there is no lack of focus and comment about it anymore. Rank and file Dem voters are very pissed off with their 'leadership'. The DNC is running Bin Laden-level popularity right now, and their passive, pokey process is about to be blown out of the water.
I agree that the R's are humiliating themselves, but that hardly matters if the voters just take that humiliation as on themselves and vote as a retaliation in their rage. There's no way for Talarico to pick that lock without presenting himself as he really is, and let the Texas citizens decide for themselves. If they're as tribal and stupid as they've been all this time, none of anything will matter.
I don't know who you are referring to as "the Left." I think rank-and-file Democrats such as Talarico or Mary Peltola have a good grasp on what concerns the voters. Voter suppression isn't a mystery; I've worked on this issue for 20 years. It involves both putting out discouraging messages (and you are doing, inadvertently, and the GOP is doing purposefully by claiming elections are "rigged") and making voting harder with arcane ID regulations, inaccessible polling places and voter roll purges, among other things. The latter is what Beto's group is focused on, while Talarico is landing the messaging, double teaming Paxton as it were. I don't see where Talarico isn't presenting himself "as he really is."
The DNC was artificially proclaimed the uber-villain by the Bernie Bros in 2016 but they have very little to do with an of this.
Twenty years? I'm not even in the same conversation as you are.
The politicians are not rank-and-file, the individual voters are. Ken Martin isn't the boss of the Democrats, he's not even a decent office manager. That the DNC has very little to do with any of this is precisely my point. Talarico focusing on the people with his steady language and humane ideas is exactly what he should keep doing. The rest of us, thought, have some ratfucking to do.
I'm fairly informed as to the Republicans' tactics. We talk about them all the time. We "process our feelings" by rolling little balls of shit like that around in our hands. We triple-down on Land Acknowledgements. We screech that any attempt to rationalize the questions around all the Trans-children-athletes ... thing ... is tantamount to personally murdering a Trans teenager. Do we really think we will capture so much power that we will be able to cram all that down the throats of those that viscerally hate it, and then make it stick, forever? And yet at the same time play helpless in the face of the Right's mighty violence? Strength through helplessness?
Nope, you experts will declare victory when and if the Democrats retake the House. Then it'll be business as usual, a mandate will be declared to address all the Kitchen Table(TM) issues and mumble around so as to not have to actually prosecute the criminality that's been going on for a decade. Speaker Jeffries will be vindicated, and all will be right as he calms everyone down with his dulcet tones. Until it's not. Until the Democratic Party is boiled down for parts by the same forces that took apart the GOP.
"I don't even know what 'suppression' means anymore, for instance." Are you still registered to vote in Georgia? Are you sure?
Yes. I early-voted in our primaries a few weeks back, I checked my online registration last week. But your meaning is clear. The Republicans are desperate to disenfranchise everybody who isn't them, but they're forced to use very blunt instruments to do it. In my online ravings, I blurted out shit. Of course I know what suppression is, and that it's real. I just get irritated by the defeatist wailing about how so very awful all this is. We know exactly what we're looking at, we talk about it constantly, and I won't add to the bonfire by recounting it here.
The biggest problem the Republicans have is one of targeting. It's getting harder for them to tell who's on their side or not, given that their leader is gleefully sliming everyone without exception. So, a blunt-force maneuver to cancel mail-in ballots could net a non-trivial number of their own voters, for instance.
He’s excellent at FIRM / CALM PUSHBACK(tm) as well… whatta hybrid
Indeed. I've seen his "Bless Their Little Hearts" in action. Savage.
It could get traction. The Texans I've known could get pretty suspicious if somebody 'protests a little too much'. False Witness and all that carries weight with them
I sent that man a donation and I don't live near Texas. He actually means what he says. And says great things.
Another great place to send a donation to help Talarico is here:
https://poweredxpeople.org
While Talarico is spreading his message, they are working on not just registering but keeping in contact with Texas Democratic voters and have managed to hugely increase the number who turn out. They are also running a voter registration drive to re-register people who have moved who don't realize they get dropped from the voter rolls just for moving across the street. A favorite GOP tactic is purging voters in Democratic areas, and Texas has followed this blueprint.
I don’t have much faith in polling these days.
It's generally pretty accurate though although it can be all over the map sometimes.
I wonder how far they can take the "Let's pretend Talarico isn't a real he-man" thing. It's so empty and devoid of connection to voters' lives.
This whole thing Beto O'Rourke is doing right now in Texas is impressive and I wish organizations in other states would do the same, looking at innovative ways to turn out voters. It's frustrated me for years that going around trying to register voters and they are all already registered but then they don't turn out. Beto's group is laser-focused on sticking with the people they register to make sure they get to the polls and on getting Talarico elected. Remember he came within 2 points of beating Cruz so he knows that improving that by 2.5% will flip the seat. I love how he didn't just lick his wounds and cater to his ego, but is absolutely driven to elect Talarico.
Speaking as a ballot clerk from the rurals in Maine...our primary was Tuesday and I have worked every election and every primary since 2020 and I have NEVER seen the turnout that we had this past Tuesday. I never knew there were so many Dems in the area! I swear, except for 2008 when Obama ran, the Dem caucus would turnout oh, maybe 18 or so...we could've caucused in a large wood shed. We had a VERY busy day this past Tuesday.
I've read plenty of negative crap; editorials clutching pearls and bemoaning the lack of "fine" candidates for Maine Senate ("fine" meaning milque-toast candidates who pass a "purity test" but lack any kind of personality or charisma). Well perhaps Graham Platner wouldn't pass a purity test, but he sure has personality and a certain rough charisma and he is a fighter. He has met and spoken with many, many Mainers in a hundred small towns and all of our "cities"--something we haven't seen Susie do in 24 years*. Now she wants a 6th term--I don't think so, Susie. And if we have to choose a gravelly voiced oysterman with PTSD in his past to do...why then, so be it. If he gets out the vote the way he did for the primary...Susie Collins may finally be toast.
* Susie has served 5 terms in the Senate--30 years, and perhaps, when she campaigned the first time she did cross the state and shake hands with us "little people", but she sure as hell hasn't done it since. She lets her admittedly brilliant campaign ad staff handle that stuff and she seems to be running scared because she is putting out real nasty mud-flinging ads this time--although, of course her name is never mentioned...the nasty ads are financed through a PAC that answers to her: Pine Tree Results.
The democrats need to play dirty.
Or play smart.
wayyyyy more
Sad. To run a country this way.
Ainsley Earhart literally said this today also:
“ICE is now funded through the end of Trumps REIGN.”
yes she used the word Reign. Fuck sake…
She's dating Hannity, so she is being punished
Hannity!!! OH YUCK!!!
Seriously yuck! I just threw up in my mouth.
See? Punishment.
Omg how freaking awful for her, no joke. Imagine living around that all the time
She deserves whatever she gets
The exposure to hair dye alone could shorten her life.
Or do massive damage to her one brain cell!
From March:
To work for Fox News you must
Have the one thing for which you lust
Ill gotten gains
What lying obtains
From betraying the public's trust
JFC hope all the Enablers are PROUD 🥵
Lightning bolt, you only have one job!
I thought it was hilarious when Trump was complaining about his bad press coverage, and Ainsley told him not to worry about it: “Mr. President, our viewers watch Fox. They don’t read the New York Times.”
How about just "They don't read."
Something to be proud of for sure.
He wants us to believe he has friendly collegial chats with Iran about who’s getting “good press”or “bad press”?
He’s off his fucking rocker.
Dr. Strangelove: “How I learned to stop worrying and love The Bomb”
Orange Shitler: “How I learned to stop worrying and love Inflation”
Yeah it’s that ‘behind the scenes wheeler-dealer-business thing’ he’s got going… you know: love letters to KJU, gets along great w/vladdy (aka ‘switching sides’)…and 🇺🇸 ppl still seem to be onboard. Go figure
"I wish we had one of those doomsday inflation machines"
The commander’s name was Jack D. Ripper, what did you think was going to happen.
My mom accidentally landed on OAN while channel surfing and those liars reported the 100 million barrels of oil figure as the truth. Fuuuuuck.
The number may or may not be true (we have to wait for confirmation from the more reliable Iranian reports.....); if it's true.......ummmmmm..........100 million barrels of oil is just about exactly one day's world consumption. So--yippee! One day of oil!!!!!
When a known liar claims a figure I do not give him the benefit of the doubt
But regulating sh*t is SO 20TH century… 😒
*That 787M penalty to 🦊’NEWS’ was the equivalent to a parking ticket… just sayin
Jeff to say he’s Off his head would be Such a fucking understatement of the Century. Fuckwits at it Again! How can Anyone take him Seriously?
Love the Claudia photos. Hope Ye are taking care of yourself.? ☘️
You and Claudia are beautiful people. I'm sorry she had to leave us.
They're doing well, but they're not doing so well? What the fuck is he even talking about? How many milliseconds of faulty memories of events from the past 50 years did this senile dribbler just fuse into one incoherence?
i certainly hope they'll be handing out graphite rods to attendees of the fascist chud wrastling event with instructions to point them towards the brilliant flashes in the sky.
yes, anus mouth does like inflation....witness merde alotta faces
Ah yes, the "Mar-A-Lago Face" full of plumpers giving the women the appearance of Carp.
He’s a fucking moron
and a World Class Distraction Machine… hey credit where credit is DUE 🙉
Don't forget he just put the Arch of Pumpkin Head construction on hyper speed. Be done in a year. They'll be a lot of people pissing on that baby.
He fast-tracked everything and is using cement and concrete. So, cheap materials, no-bid laborers that don't know what they are doing, insane work hours, and a result that will mismatch entirely with the aesthetic of everything there. It'll get demolished, either by the newly created Department of Unfucking Everything Up, or We The People.
I don't think it will ever be finished.
and by the way, when Joe Biden said his work wasn't finished and the results hadn't been fully realized yet, he didn't leave a physical wrecking yard of half-assed physical "projects" that never should have been started in the first place!
How about "accidentally" running into it with a semi-truck? Oopsie!
The Fucking Idiot is at it again. Why hasn’t one of his handlers slapped duct tape over his mouth yet?
Forget it Jeff, it's Clownshoesville.
Groundhog’s Day meets Inception
Jeff, Newspapers were fun! And not just the sports pages. When in Chicago riding the El Train you could get any newspaper you wanted all that was missing from everyone of them is the Sports section. That’s the USA when normal and it’s ludicrous.
Jaysus.
WTAF ❓️ Indeed!!
It really isn’t in human capacity to understand just how demented, how fucking idiotic, how ignorant, how driven by the basest motives only this fucking guy is. How incurious about anything, how driven by fear and weakness and hatred. What a complete bigot, what a complete liar. All that is worst about our species is wrapped up in this rotting lump of dough.

He loves inflation because he thinks that means his stooges will give him two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches instead of one to go with his Big Mac, large fries, and Diet Coke
If only he would choke on his food…..

It's true. You are 100% correct. Trump is the worst of the worst in my lifetime.
I do not think he has dementia. He's 80. There is always going to be some fatigue, some memory lapses, health issues. I know. I'm 71 and I worry about 80s. He will probably claim dementia when we try to put him in prison.
I think he is psychologically broken, a sociopath, all wrapped up in a package of stupid, and an uninformed, dimwit who was passed through school because of daddy's money. He is a loser of epic proportions in every possible way imaginable. He is a serial killer but does not have the balls to do the killing himself; he just likes to watch, like the ICE guys and Greg Abbott. The worst that humanity has to offer at this place in time, and a good portion of his followers fit this category too. They will drop family members and decades long friendships for this vile piece of human garbage. I hate them. The rest are just ignorant morons and we made a mistake in not recognizing how stupid they actually are. I don't think I can forgive anyone for any of this. There is no excuse for Americans to vote for any PERSON, who will be a shit rep, but they would rather have a beer with them over the opponent. Remember that's how we got George W along with some cheating by the GOP. My golden years SUCK! I want them back!
If we ever get out of this mess, I hope someone puts a VOTING and ELECTIONS museum online and physically somewhere maybe on the mall and a traveling exhibit, about the times we have almost lost our country to fascism. About the facts of who increased or decreased deficits, started wars, lied to We the People. Showcase more notable and notorious acts during each admin. Trickle down economics, my ASS!
They can build their own libraries and tout their accomplishments. But let us fact check and expose the ugly facts as well as all the cheating and hanging chads, manipulating stats, and dirty tricks on the campaign trail that were not true and may have swayed an election. Swiftboating for example. Both sides featured and only hard facts. Try to get people educated about their responsibility as a voter to choose wisely based on their own interests, not corporate Americas'.
The 100 million barrels of oil lie should be in there. Why aren't reports coming through about what Iran says, what the middle east is saying, what other countries are observing and reporting while orange Shitler is locking up asylums seekers who are being killed, maimed and tortured in a Louisiana detention center hell-hole. Bombing random boats. Killing school children. MAKE IT STOP. Sorry to rant so long. I don't feel better really but had to do it.
Better to get it out than wake up thinking about it
If you fill a glass to overflowing with water chances are the surrounding area will get wet. If you fill a Dumpster to overflowing with white trash chances are you'll get a Washington DC that looks like it does now.
You’re right Neil. It’s plain to see for anyone who cares to look. It’s a shame that more people don’t care to look.
Of late, many are trying to find affordable groceries, gas etc. rather than the news.
Hear fucking hear. Well said, Good Sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And “incurious” is the BEST insult! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Truly the worst humanity has to offer.
Piss drunk Pete is too young to have been around for Edwin Starr's "War", but us old folks remember. "War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing."

That's about right. What a creepazoid.
I love that song. It tells the whole story in music.
I love that song too…and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?”
We were graced with THE best music, weren’t we?
"What's going on?" is so appropriate for this world now. I wonder why we don't have new songs though. It's kind of sad that we used to be so smart and aware but now? Where are the protest songs? Why is everyone hiding?( Although we did have a fabulous Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar....but you can't really sing along with an entire Super Bowl halftime show.)
There are tons of them. (Start with "This is America" a 2018 track by Childish Gambino. In fact, intelligent hip hop is a good place to go.) The problem is that the entire music eco structure is fractured so that it's hard to find anything in the contemporary glut of music (tens of thousands of tracks released each day and no more gatekeepers). I think that's why so many people punt to older music, even younger people listening to music made before they were born. I was just reflecting the other day when I heard "Venus" by Frankie Avalon in the grocery that that track came out in 1959 — 67 years ago! — and how weird it would've been in 1959 if radio played tracks from 1892 — except there were no records and no radio in 1892!
Thanks! I totally forgot about Childish Gambino's song and damn that is a great one. You are right about our current music ecosystem and the mess it is, plus the punts to older tunes. It feels like we are losing something with regard to cultural touchstones and memory.
Jesse Welles does some good protest songs.
He does indeed! I'd love to hear him get more airplay. Or streaming play. I still listen to regular old broacast radio in my car.
The What's Going On album is one of my all-time favorites. I still listen to it from time to time. Sadly, it's still very current even though it came out in 1971.
I listen to it pretty much every day! It’s so good!
Don’t you dare call the ‘Iran discussion’ a war.

War, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives
Kegger must sit in his Pentagon make up studio and have himself a good giggle over those 167 little girls he killed.
Probably get a woody just thinking bout it.
I’m an oldie like you Liz and I applaud your song choice. I wish someone like Weird Al Yankovich would rewrite that song substituting “Trump” for “War”. We need that right now. Maybe Doc and Frosty can collaborate — wink wink nudge nudge
Randy Rainbow has a new one out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy2L90MMjiQ
Robert, thank you! That was a blast and I’m sharing. I was not aware of him. I am now flagellating myself for missing out on some fun stuff…after I’m done I will share.
Damn Jeff, you beat me to it. As usual.
He stood in the Oval Office and said the word love. Not for a person — for the 4.2% inflation rate draining our fucking accounts. A three-year high, and he called it great.The cruelty isn't the bug. It's the engine. And It's the engine he loves.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-i-love-the-inflation-the-day-the-bastard-said-the-quiet-part-out-loud
It's the textbook definition of how narcissistic abusers roll isn't it?
I don’t know how they calculate the inflation rate. The two things I buy the most, groceries and gasoline, are up more than 20%. Gas in my area is about 40% higher than it was in February.
A gallon of diesel here is running approximately $7.50 in SoCal. A 16 wheeler typically holds up to 300 gallons of fuel and gets about 7 to 9 MPG. So, boys and girls, my lame math skills show a commercial transport truck fueling up at $2,250 at each gas stop. Wonder why the price of eggs is so high?
It's a blended rate of a basket of commodities of which food and fuel are only 2. There are also various measures of inflation. Yes, it's complicated. But the two items you mention are the those that have captured the voters' attention.
Exactly. It makes no sense.
Which is better overall - publicize his idiotic comments or ignore them totally? Personally I wish the MSM would ignore him as whatever he talks about is false, uninformed, fear mongering. Democrats need to focus on what they can do to right this ship. Distraction and redirection of any false topic is better than publicizing his nonsense isn't it?
Murc's Law teaches us that all of this is okay. America's Pilonidal Cyst—as he is not a Democrat—is insulated from accountability or attachment to reality. He or any of his droogs says something out of line? Don't worry, by evening there'll be something worse.
He's an unending Gish Gallop, an interminable forced meme who teaches us all about superposition, ontology and time dilation all in one horrible, rotting husk. Every day is filled with existential dread.
So folks, make sure your voter registrations are ACTIVE and you've been voting in the primaries. The only semblance of a check on Maladministration 2.0—and America's Pilonidal Cyst himself—is a Democratic impeachment+removal-sized majority.
♥️ "droogs"!
From A Clockwork Orange, right?
Right, now bugger off. ‘Very few will get the reference so don’t worry’.
We’re moving (same state, different town) in July. The Massachusetts state primary isn’t until Setpember, so we should have time to register for that, and for the general election in November.
The two biggest races and issues for the state (as far as I can tell) are the rent control ballot questuion,(lots of ads against it so far), and the Ed Markey vs Seth Moulton Senate Primary. Markey has been a stalwart liberal in the House and Senate for many years, so many that even one of his contemporaries has recorded ads for Moulton. Moulton doesn’t represent my district (we live in Lori Trahan’s district), so I don’t know much about him.
We need to get ourselves to Town Hall and registered soon after we move.
Put age to the side. Moulton is an overly ambitious, middle-of-the-road Democratic who was one of a group of younger white men whose ambition overtook their qualifications in the 2020 presidential cycle when they decided to (briefly) run for president (Others included such annoying figures as Tim Ryan and Eric Swalwell). The last young gun to do this got his ass handed to him and he was a lot better than Moulton with a very powerful asset: he was Joe Kennedy III and no member of t he family LOOKS more like a Kennedy.*
Ed Markey is reliably one of the very most progressive members of Congress. He and his compatriot Liz Warren have been the top two most progressive senators on Progressive Punch for months on end now. This effort to oust Markey, one of our staunchest fights for progressive legislation, based solely on his age is on my last fucking nerve.
* Kennedy, who was leading the polls by a huge margin early on, got shellacked at the finish line by the determined Markey, and instead of sulking and licking his wounds, stepped back and asked "Now that I quit Congress to run this race and lost, where can I deploy my skills, knowledge and power of my name to do some good?" and he founded The Groundwork Project, which funds existing grassroots groups in blood red, mostly southern, states to do organizing work. It doesn't start the groups or tell them what to do: it finds groups already doing the work, finds out what they need to expand and helps provide it.
https://groundworkproject.com/about-us/
One of my favorite groups next to Beto's Powered by People which is focused right now on turning out voters for Talarico.
Thanks for the analysis. I don’t pay as much attention to local politics as I probably should.
I was going to vote for Markey anyway (instead of becoming more conservative in my old age, I’m becoming more Socialist). This clinches it.
If Moulton loses, he'll probably come for the Senate's #1 progressive, the only one with a 100% score on crucial votes in this session, next. She isn't up until 2030, but she will be 80 then. Perhaps she will even retire, although she is clearly in WAY better shape, physically and mentally(and morally), than Trump.
I didn’t know that about Joe Kennedy III! That’s actually really awesome and I am glad he knows what the assignment is.
I think more people need to know about him because his reaction to quitting Congress to run in what he probably thought was a sure-thing Senate race, possibly setting himself up to be president, was wholly unlike a lot of what we see from politicians. There was an unusual aspect of humility. His organization does stuff like find a group in Arkansas focused on getting poor Black voters the ID they need to vote and getting them to the polls, and providing them with money to purchase a van and pay for gas and drivers. they don't dictate what the groups do: they figure the groups understand their own communities the best. And they continue their support; these aren't one-and-done grants. I really like their model.
I am liking it too from what you describe.
Well I say Good Job, Joe!
I just looked and Seth Moulton is ranked 158th in the House with a score of just above 90%. That's still pretty progressive but a long way from Ed Markey , #2 in the Senate with scores above 99.5%.
Thank you for this, Anastasia. I live in a Boston suburb and have always been happy with Ed Markey, and my Representative Katherine Clark. I've written frequently to both and always get a response. I don't spend much time on videos, but when I do find myself on YouTube (usually to see Colbert 😪) I check the latest vids from them. My only concern with either of them is that they've taken AIPAC money in the past. They haven't recently, and I have written to them about it, but they aren't specifically promising to reject future donations. So, a concern for the future.
Could I just clarify something about AIPAC? Nobody "takes" AIPAC money — AIPAC just spends it on behalf of candidates they think will be friendlier to Israel. These are independent expenditures so candidates can't legally coordinate with them, though some candidates — mostly Republicans, surprise! — have pushed the boundary. And while some of the more avid "pro-Palestinians" have decided to make AIPAC an all-purpose enemy, it's become pretty toothless due to some of its hanky panky. As a de facto conservative group I don't think it has much influence in Massachusetts.
Katherine Clark is kicks ass! As the #2 person in House Democratic leadership, we should be seeing her kick even more ass as the #2 person in HOUSE leadership once Dems take over. While it seems to be popular in some quarters to knock Democratic leadership because they aren't miraculously overturning everything from the minority, I think we will see good things ahead when we take over the House.
Also not every 80-year-old is losing their marbles. Just one conspicuous individual!
The removal-sized majority is 67 in the Senate. This would require flipping 20 Senate seats from Republican to Democrat (or Independent willing to caucus blue). There are 22 Republican Senators up for re-election, lots of them in states like Idaho or Mississippi. We can only let 2 of them win? That is not a realistic goal.
Well that's why I say it's a semblance of a check. But that's the only way out of this really.
Jeff, my Dude, I've been praying for flash floods ever since this white trash, MAGGOT supported event was mentioned. I wish HE would be close enough that HE'D get knocked the fuck out by one of the fighters. This is an abomination and embarrassment doesn't cover it for me. Twatwaffle is a worthless motherfucker.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.....great article!
I don't want just rain: I want frog-strangling deluges, accompanied by high winds of 50-60 mph, plus cloud to ground lightning strikes.
Girl, I love your comment and agree 100%!! Let it rain....Didn't Clapton say that?? Lolol
A little hail would be nice too.
Hail to the Thief
Already started my rain dance.
Let's do it Lynne...my Father was 1/2 Chicasaw....I got this Rain Dance shit *DOWN*....
I'm imagining lightning causing a mass electrocution event.
Amazing that he's tanking the economy, bragging about committing war crimes and has access to nuclear codes; and yet the need to invoke the 25th amendment is barely mentioned. It should be front and center every day.
From our press? That would get them in trouble with the bosses.
I hope someone is compiling a list of everything he says so his bottom dweller supporters will be reminded how much he doesn’t care about them when it gets closer to the election. Doesn’t care about our financial situation, loves inflation, etc. etc. I listen to some of the young debaters who have maga call in and they literally say if it was their own kid they wouldn’t want an adjudicated rapist for a babysitter, but if it’s a random kid they don’t care. So I guess unless it bankrupts them, they don’t care about any of the horrific things trump has done. Even raping girls. They are all morally bankrupt and in a crazy cult.
If the DNC doesn't do a full court press on inflation it's malpractice.
The more I read this the more I think of the Romanovs and their untimely fate.
Let’s not forget the Bourbons (the French royals, not the corn liquor) in the late 18th century.
Didn’t they die of natural causes?
I was thinking Louis the whatever, and Marie Antoinette are Bourbons. I could very easily be mistaken.
Louis XIII, XIV, XV, and XVI were Bourbon, Antoinette was a Hapsburg by birth but Bourbon by marriage
No, I was not named after the Grand Duchess Anastasia. No Jewish family whose ancestors were driven out of the shtetl in what's now Belarus would ever name a child after a member of the tsar's family. (It was my Greek father's middle name.)
Ever watch ‘Peeky Blinders’? They did a few episodes including the Romanovs it was great, I learned a few things along the way.
It means "the resurrection": also a very un-Jewish choice of name.
My father was Greek. It was his middle name.
Fingers crossed for rain, but mostly for LIGHTNING.
Lightning like no one has ever seen before!
Lightning with tears in its eyes, "Sir! Sir!"
YUGE lightning!
And hail. Hail is good.
Not deadly enough.
Yesssss! Ferocious lightning.
I'll be convinced God exists if He sends enough serious lightning and wind to scorch that unholy mess into small slivers of shrapnel. The hideous arch "claw" is tall enough to attract ALL the lightning bolts!
It *IS* hurricane season!
Mrs. Spouse looked adorable with short hair. Trump will wear one of his hats if it rains. He will probably wear a Monster Energy hat. I sincerely hope that lightning strikes that ugly mess on our lawn that TAXPAYERS paid for.
I hope a tornado goes right through the middle of it.
The reason Fuckwit Furher loves inflation is because it’s the largest transfer of wealth from we the people to the billionaire oligarchs.
So for once fuckface is telling the truth.
Jeff, I want to review what was said in that Secure Room with Vance, Bondi, Blanche and others covering up for their god king and the Epstein files. In particular I want to observe the exact language that was used in the discussion concerning ….nipples.. and why was this the subject of a meeting… I’m no legal expert, but I’ve been around and it just seems as if these folks and the DOJ are acting like a legal defense team attempting to bury evidence so damning it will not see the light of day.. let’s get Mel in on the conversation about her nipples shall we?
Yes…that was a sickening thing to read about….his love of nipples and how they tried to DISTRACT from all that-in the situation room, no less!! OMG…they ALL must GO!
I watched The Romano Report and he related that story of how a victim of sexual abuse by trump said he was obsessed with nipples and caused her pain with his roughness. Preznit Predator must pay!
Of course they are. Trump projected his plan to weaponize the government all throughout his campaign. The second he nominated Bondi there was no question who she intended to work for.
Pamnesia Blondi was already on the Donnie Demento payroll during her stint in Florida: her nomination was her reward for her faithful service to him then.
Yeah, I seem to remember he “donated” to her campaign a large amount of $$$.. Basically buying her loyalty since she knew everything about Epstein since she was Florida AG during Epstein time..
That illegal donation was put through the Trump Foundation and was one of the reasons it had its charter pulled. But it wasn't about Epstein. She had just been asked to investigate Trump University when he made the donation, and promptly closed the investigation.
And it wasn't all that much--Pamnesia's willingness to ~look away~ from Trump University and hang the Floridians who'd been ripped off out to dry only cost $25,000.
Still, she put out the "for sale" sign, didn't she?
And yet, do any of them seem happy? He has assembled not only the most incompetent administration but the most joyless. Working for him must suck.
"Pamnesia." I love it.
Huh?
Arne, I read this morning that trump likes to hurt girls nipples. Goddamn him.
Wow, he is a disgusting person. I can't imagine what are in the Epstein files. Oh, wait! I think he probably murdered some girl.
Due to my own PTSD following rapes and a sexually traumatic, abusive relationship, my brain refuses to go there. What little that *has* been released, is turning up in my nightmares. Those poor girls! They don't only *deserve* justice, they require it. I understand Virginia Guiffrey's suicide only too well - she gave her life to help *all* survivors everywhere. Victims around the world need this. In fact, I think every person who has any awareness at all about Epstein needs this. Who wouldn't want to see consequences for the Epstein Class? Only the monsters involved.
Sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you. I'm just saying that there must be some truly awful stuff in there that they are desperate to suppress.
I haven't seen any updates from the New Mexico investigation into the possibility of bodies buried on the site of the former Epstein ranch. I hope NM is still working on that......
They are.
And we should all be celebrating New Mexico congresswoman Melanie Stansbury who is like a dog with a bone on this. Follow her on Instagram. She posts update all the time.
He should be sent to CECOT where all the men suck really hard on all his openings until he turns inside out.
This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen posted here. But, ok.
Sick fuck
Arne, I’m with you, right away this morning it was nipples this and that, these are morons and Trump’s are probably the biggest and ugliest in the history of nipples which I guarantee you has been around since mammals.
Sniggering about nipples aside, it's clear Trump paid to maul some woman's breasts. His own mother never shared her nipples with him when he was an actual infant because he was Hell's Spawn.
I hope it rains like hell Sunday....the desecration of the White House makes me sick.
"I love the inflation" FUCK HIM! Delirious old coot. I remain convinced that the racism he
espouses is how we got here.
That short hair on Claudia looks sharp! A beautiful woman. ❤️
The radical left needs to dial up their Jewish Space Lasers and diabolical weather influencing masheens and create a bomb cyclone for deployment to the WH South Lawn
Yeah, they need to get on that. Extra lightning, please.
"...because the family of rabies-infected raccoons that live inside his pumpkin head chose that moment to chew through the wrong wires..." OMG! 🤣😂😅 I had just taken a sip of coffee. Now I have to wipe my screen clear.
Rule number 1 for preparing to read Jeff:
Put down your beverages and swallow anything you may have in your mouth.
I’m not just wishing rain. I’m wishing for those scary thunderstorms we had back in olden days when we lived in northern Virginia. The kind that sent the poor dog scrambling under the bed, with dark skies, lots of lightning bolts. and one time, softball-sized hail stones. Really. Nana went out into the back yard to grab one and stuck it in the freezer. It was there until we moved to Colorado. Which also has good ’n scary thunderstorms, sometimes with tornadoes. So, I’m wishing my brains out.
Great Claudia photos. That cocktail looks really good! Chin-chin! 🍸
FYI next Thursday, June 19th, in addition to being Juneteenth, is also National Martini Day. 🍸🍸
How about a tornado?
