Ms Spouse points out that Donny always calls Bill Clinton by his first name and never insults him — as if they were friends. which makes you wonder what kind of shit they've gotten up to together
Whoa! Thats a really good observation!! And makes a lot of sense.
The files released are all so incredibly damning—and I guarantee Dumb Donnie hasn’t read any of them, because he doesn’t read. So he thinks he can just throw others under the bus like he always does and have nothing stick to him. But god damn, these files are like tar and feathers for that fucker.
The SZ has taken to seriously trolling the Orange Turd in their editorial cartoons. Saturday's showed a line of people queued up outside a movie theater with "Melania" on the marquee. They all have both arms raised and expressions of fear on their faces. The guy at the head of the line says (transliterating) "Since I must, blocked view seat, pease". In the foreground facing toward them, is Orange Turd, wielding a machine gun. Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humor?
ha! yeah, 36,000 times (maybe more) and that's an awful lot of times for someone who has never been anywhere close to E- Island ! my God, the insanity from this orange Bozo.
Because nobody, apparently, in his entire sorry life has told him to just sit down and shut his filthy lying mouth. Which I would love to be the one to do. I'm so freaking sick of this sorry despicable excuse for a human.
Not really. It's very unlikely Clinton was involved in the nefarious activities, given what we know publicly about his tastes. And he doesn't act like a guilty person — he's urged the release of the full files, and hasn't objected to anything or tried to justify himself.
100%! Orange monster has an almost instinctual sense of detecting strength in someone that he knows he can't bully. I think bullies are that way so they do not mess with one who can out do them.
Exactly—Noah adding Bill to the mix for his dig to rump is a classic bullshit “both sides” thing that gets us nowhere. Never been a fan of Noah’s from the jump, not sure why, but something always bothered me about him.
If he pushes Clinton too far, he'll be forced into depositions and revealing testimony and evidence, money trails, etc., in court. He'll leave Clinton alone. But if Clinton is innocent, shouldn't he be pushing the case to go forward for a release of evidence? He may be the only one powerful enough to make things happen.
I literally was just saying a moment ago to my spouse that if our country and world DID NOT allow billionaires to exist NONE OF THIS would EVER happen.
The earliest dates on this depravity in the files is like late 80s~1991.
Now look at this fact: In 1982 only thirteen billionaires existed.
By the year 2000 there was a total of 470 billionaires worldwide.
These files show so much depravity between that time frame.
BILLIONAIRES SHOULD NOT EXIST.
If they don’t exist, there is no money to fund their depravity and evil deeds.
And those 470 billionaires - without even losing much of their money - could solve world hunger, cure some deadly diseases and educate a whole, whole, whole lot of people. But no. They'd rather hoard it for...what? The hereafter? Right.
I truly wonder where the thirst for mo' mo' mo' money comes from. I know it is greed, but once you have the biggest car, yacht, mansion etc., and the lifestyle those provide, what more can you want?
I saw this reported yesterday and wondered, "is this true"? Also hearing that his administration is full of people in the files and that makes sense as the cover up is far and wide. What a shit hole country we live in. We need to wipe its ass come November.
The more that gets dripped out the dumber they look, and I do mean drip. Drip a little here and then do some crazy thing over there to distract from the drip. These people are evil, very evil.
No statute of limitations for murder, so consequences? Leach's victim might have been one of many girls who were snuffed out within the Epstein world, some for threatening they would file complaints or bear witness. Also, didn't Lewandowski brag to a woman he was sexually harassing at a fundraiser that he had killed people? I think Michael Cohen knows more than he's telling.
I gotta wonder about Michael Cohen, period. He knows EVERYTHING because he was in all of it up to his eyeballs. And maybe still is. He's a lying sack of sxxt.
There was a threatening file, where Trump used the threat of murder in a signed statement by the victim. Surely not the only girl to receive such a message. Sharon.
I wonder if there's any (accurate) record of the number of girls murdered, "lost" or disappeared during all those years. I can't imagine any of those inhuman creatures having even one iota of compassion in its soulless being.
Oh, finding out that ANYBODY who is now well and truly dead is in them is on ALL my bingo cards.
Who else who is long dead are they going to reveal - because they think it will keep MAGA happy?
You can bet your sweet little boots no one who is still alive will be named as a definite perpetrator - to much risk that they'll talk. They couldn't avoid jailing Ghislaine - but they've made damn sure she's not going to say one word. And do you honestly think she couldn't?
Oh she definitely could. I just read yesterday that after the FBI arrested Epstein for the final time, they didn’t bother to lock down the NYC house & post an officer there to prevent destruction of evidence!!!! We know damned well that would have been done if it was any regular person accused of operating a sex trafficking ring. So Ghislaine was able to go in there & remove all of the computer hard drives & other evidence. The FBI never even searched Zorro Ranch in NM.
The ghastly incompetence or even purposeful dereliction of duty is astounding & highly suspicious. It makes me so enraged. Some poor Black kid in the same city can spend 3 yrs on Riker’s Island for just being accused of stealing a damned backpack; while these disgusting pieces of slime are allowed to steal evidence. We know Ghislaine has all those hard drives with video evidence of horrific crimes, & she’s using that to blackmail DT & likely many others; Bill Barr for instance.
I meant to say, it's ALL abuse of course, but to admit there is violence and *death*! on those videos...I was dumbstruck. I wouldn't care if it was my own father, I'd want him in the slammer.
Murder is not beyond them - for the right price, right? Pay enough and they can have snuff sex. OMFG.
I read a rumor that they killed puppies to show what would happen if the victims talked and I thought, "Oh please. That's taking it a bit far" but now maybe not so much.
Robin Leach? Well that makes sense. "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and dead. Whoever he paid is an accomplice though, right? Wonder who that might be. /s
Even though Bill is a horndog, I do not see him stooping to the depths of raping underaged trafficked kids that apparently many others have. But who the hell knows anything anymore.
And if, on the off chance there is probable cause, prosecute him for it. Easy-peasy. The difference between your average Democrat and the average trumpie is we don't cultivate blind loyalty.
This is something I've also noted--his tastes seem to run to fucking around with adult women (though in a subordinate position in many cases). And not even "childlike" adult women, or "barely legal" (ew).
Ms Spouse has excellent intuition! Bill has had a zipper stuck in the “open” position for his entire adult life. Of course those two were “enjoying” life à la Epstein
Not likely, given what we've seen of Clinton's tastes in women. They weren't tastes Epstein was serving. I'm scratching my head at why people on the left are almost drooling to find Clinton guilty. Is it virtual signaling or what? I'm baffled. But I think you folks will ultimately be disappointed.
Ms. Spouse better be right about Clinton. Otherwise, you will definitely lose me as a contributor. Comb the files and release the names and deeds of everyone - not just innuendos about Clinton. Both Clintons were invited to Trump parties. There are pictures. Print FACTS, not your FEELINGS about Clinton.
When you realise there are people aged around 30 who have NEVER HEARD OF BILL CLINTON!
You think I'm joking? Between TikTok and the American education system, the country is swarming with ignoramuses.
Saddest part of all is, they're not ignorant because they're stupid - they just don't get the chance to learn anything. And the biggest thing they don't get to learn is - how to learn.
I asked AI how Chocolate Hole got its name, and here's what it says:
Chocolate Hole got its name because the bay’s water can turn a deep, chocolate‑brown color—especially after heavy rain—due to sediment runoff from the surrounding hills. This distinctive appearance led locals to name the area “Chocolate Hole,” and the name stuck.
I hoped it was because they follow you around with a box of great dark chocolates and keep sticking them in your MOUTH HOLE whenever it gets empty.
Thanks Jeff -and I renew my question while the criminal elect threatens anyone who is mean to him with a civil suit:
If the Office of Legal Counsel provides an opinion that a sitting President should not be subjected to a criminal trial - because there are remedies in terms of impeachment, and because otherwise a President would spend all of their time responding to various criminal indictments and trials -why is a sitting President allowed to pursue civil lawsuits?
It seems the OLC should state if this President can be plaintiff in civil actions they have given up their right to be insulated from criminal proceedings.
So who all saw the confirmation that Tulsi Gabbard is an actual Bond Villain this morning?
WSJ got this out today:
“U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.”
I can't get past her threatening Hillary Clinton after Clinton said she thought the ONE of the women running for president as a Democrat was a Russian asset and Tulsi jumped up and said "I'M SUING." Interestingly, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris and even Marianne Williamson did not feel the need to publicly deny this and threaten to sue. (Six women were running at one point.) Hmmmmm.... hit dog?
Start with the 7 GOP congresspeople Putin ordered to celebrate the Fourth of July 2018 in Moscow, who then came home and told us Russia didn't interfere in the election. Most, including senator, Ron Johnson, were associated with Russian spy and future member of the Duma Maria Buttina.
I am glad Martha has brought this up. I was wondering why Republican Congressmen spent the 2018 Fourth of July in Moscow. That Putin ordered it makes more sense than whatever reason they gave at the time.
Maybe Putin’s schedule was full except for American Independence Day, who knows?
The madness never ends. The release of the files has really pushed him over the edge. And when I read some of it, I about went over the edge. The thing that really is upsetting are the Republicans who STILL support this heap of smelly trash.
That heap of smelly trash is the only thing they found floating after their ship went down, so they cling to it. Because they couldn't rouse themselves to stop him, he's now all they have left. And some are heading to the exits.
Every single day plentiful reasons to push him out of power and yet those who can will not. I believe that in the four years of the Biden presidency, they were all meeting in cult like fashion, swearing an oath to Project 2025 that nothing, nothing would stop them from allowing it to continue. Even though they would find much of it repulsive to their constituents, they must keep to the oath. I also believe that most of the Democratic Party finds itself in the same position. There are only a handful of Democrats speaking out publicly. We are living in an unending episode of Black Mirror meets The Twilight Zone meets The Sopranos.
Sports betters are saying he'll get his next stroke or a heart attack on Feb. 17th, but I can't get too excited because it makes me feel like one of the Rapture crowd who are always disappointed.
He will never sue Trevor Noah, because in order to sue for slander, you have to prove the person was lying—and the discovery alone will deter him from going anywhere near that shit.
This isn’t related to today’s commentary but I found it hilarious this morning when I read that dickwad is shutting down the Kennedy center because it’s in such bad shape that he will take two years to fix up! Bwahahahahaha! How to try to save face when absolutely no one will perform at your shitty behest. It gave me such happiness. That idiot will let that building just sit until his time is up or hopefully he expires before it. Then his shitty name will be removed and people will come right back to the exact same building that is suddenly just falling to pieces. He is such a transparent tool and there are so many of his cultists that are so stupid they believe it, but this old bat knew right away what a load of shit that was.
That was my first thought, that no one of any substance will perform there. Also, I believe the venue underwent a complete renovation a couple of years ago.
I've learned the hard way that my cat needs to be in another room when I read my daily dose of JT.
I'm still practicing self-care by not spending as much time on Substack, but I have been reading my favorites - just not the comments sections. This will be my only comment today, I couldn't resist! Thank you, Jeff! And Mrs. Spouse - who's right, as usual!
You are wise to practice self-care. I am also cutting down, although I support several Substacks financially because they deserve support. I will never give up on Jeff, though.
I, too am doin the self-care thing. My nerves were gettin to me BAD. I'm so scared we won't make it 3 more years. Hell, I'm not even sure about making it to midterms. Seriously. He should have already been removed. Real-talk
Don the Con, the consummate grifter. Our coffers will be completely empty by the time that disgusting predator is done pilfering everything. Geezus. Can he just die? The world would rejoice. Ugh.
He STEALS! Say it! Let's make certain that everyone understands clearly what he is doing...including children. Even Donald understands that word. He is taking what doesn't belong to him and putting it in his piggy bank. That makes him a thief.
Don, the consummate criminal. That was the original family scam, "influence" in housing/real estate regulation, diverting funding..."waste, FRAUD, & abuse". He's just being "transparent" now, asserting everything is his. We're just another casino to ruin while he profits. This is the only "business" he knows.
Great job by Joaquin Castro on the rescue! I hope that family will remain safe.
And does Trevor Noah have corporate bosses? I imagine there's going to be some sort of settlement or suspension to curry favor. Remember, you are free to trample on the First Amendment if you serve the unreconstructed.
You don't see Bill Clinton making threats to sue like this. Seems like people are plenty free to diss him and he takes his medicine like an adult it seems.
But yeah, audacity to be a mantoddler is part of the base model package when you serve the unreconstructed.
I'm still scratching my head about how Trumpsters can look at this man and see STRENGTH and MANLINESS. I actually talked to one at a party who is a cousin of a friend of mine and she told me that while she didn't agree with him on every issue, she saw him as strong, and determined, and focused, and powerful. My glasses must be dirty, because all I see is profound weakness and cowering fear.
Donald has gotten away with threatening nuisance lawsuits plenty, but let’s support Trevor Noah in not settling. This one has everything, a 1st amendment challenge&think of all of the Epstein discovery. I’m not exactly defending Bill Clinton, but Clinton says release all of the files&Trump says no.
Ms Spouse points out that Donny always calls Bill Clinton by his first name and never insults him — as if they were friends. which makes you wonder what kind of shit they've gotten up to together
Whoa! Thats a really good observation!! And makes a lot of sense.

He’s mentioned 36,000 times in the files.
More like a gazillion times...Michael de Adder has a great toon out today about Melania movie and root canals. I told him he's A VERY BAD BOY!!
https://x.com/deAdder/status/2018327367496737068/photo/1
In Key West, root canals are available only on alternate Tuesdays. Everyone would still line up rather than watch “Vanity Fuhrer.”
The SZ has taken to seriously trolling the Orange Turd in their editorial cartoons. Saturday's showed a line of people queued up outside a movie theater with "Melania" on the marquee. They all have both arms raised and expressions of fear on their faces. The guy at the head of the line says (transliterating) "Since I must, blocked view seat, pease". In the foreground facing toward them, is Orange Turd, wielding a machine gun. Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humor?
You’re right Chris, it’s magnificent!
ha! yeah, 36,000 times (maybe more) and that's an awful lot of times for someone who has never been anywhere close to E- Island ! my God, the insanity from this orange Bozo.
EXACTLY!! You who isn’t in the Epstein files 36,000+ times? You, me, and anyone reading this.
See how easy that is???
And he’s still president. And in no danger of losing the presidency. No wonder the rest of the world looks at us and just laughs.
Because nobody, apparently, in his entire sorry life has told him to just sit down and shut his filthy lying mouth. Which I would love to be the one to do. I'm so freaking sick of this sorry despicable excuse for a human.
Also may explain why he hates Hillary so much.
I mean, if you read the epstein files deeply enough you find.....well you know what you find.
Finding out that Robin Leach strangled a girl to death was NOT on my bingo card for 2026.
Not really. It's very unlikely Clinton was involved in the nefarious activities, given what we know publicly about his tastes. And he doesn't act like a guilty person — he's urged the release of the full files, and hasn't objected to anything or tried to justify himself.
100%! Orange monster has an almost instinctual sense of detecting strength in someone that he knows he can't bully. I think bullies are that way so they do not mess with one who can out do them.
Exactly—Noah adding Bill to the mix for his dig to rump is a classic bullshit “both sides” thing that gets us nowhere. Never been a fan of Noah’s from the jump, not sure why, but something always bothered me about him.
Yet Bill is not threatening to sue, because only one person is a thin-skinned bawling little baby who just soiled his diaper.
Bingo!
Oh I love Trevor - he is funny and socks it to everyone...
If he pushes Clinton too far, he'll be forced into depositions and revealing testimony and evidence, money trails, etc., in court. He'll leave Clinton alone. But if Clinton is innocent, shouldn't he be pushing the case to go forward for a release of evidence? He may be the only one powerful enough to make things happen.
Good grief. Vile. Repulsive. Being rich is a horrible disease of the mind and soul.
It just seems to bring out the very worst in people, doesn't it?
I literally was just saying a moment ago to my spouse that if our country and world DID NOT allow billionaires to exist NONE OF THIS would EVER happen.

They at simply hoarders. They hoard money.
And those 470 billionaires - without even losing much of their money - could solve world hunger, cure some deadly diseases and educate a whole, whole, whole lot of people. But no. They'd rather hoard it for...what? The hereafter? Right.
Yes, "trickle- down" economics has worked out exactly as planned.
True dat Dana, likely why they’ve declared war on we the serfs’
I truly wonder where the thirst for mo' mo' mo' money comes from. I know it is greed, but once you have the biggest car, yacht, mansion etc., and the lifestyle those provide, what more can you want?
That's why they're so miserable - they found out money couldn't buy happiness.
I saw this reported yesterday and wondered, "is this true"? Also hearing that his administration is full of people in the files and that makes sense as the cover up is far and wide. What a shit hole country we live in. We need to wipe its ass come November.
The nude young girl pictures, and those of the victims, along with their birthdates, is a curious way of redactions!
They are just being hateful. Shameful.
The more that gets dripped out the dumber they look, and I do mean drip. Drip a little here and then do some crazy thing over there to distract from the drip. These people are evil, very evil.

Yep, Barr's name comes up in the Epstein files as a client. Not surprised he "visited" Epstein in his cell two days before his staged suicide.
So horrible, and he will pardon her as he leaves office. Hopefully he dies first but who knows?
I caught my breath when I read that the DOJ wasn't going to release the videos containing violence, abuse and death. What?!
Yeah, it’s abuse, if not violence and death(!) that is what was being investigated.
I meant to say, it's ALL abuse of course, but to admit there is violence and *death*! on those videos...I was dumbstruck. I wouldn't care if it was my own father, I'd want him in the slammer.
Murder is not beyond them - for the right price, right? Pay enough and they can have snuff sex. OMFG.
I read a rumor that they killed puppies to show what would happen if the victims talked and I thought, "Oh please. That's taking it a bit far" but now maybe not so much.
Allegedly 🙄
Sarcastic Admission is a power, Tim. :)
Then I might just be a super hero 😉
Robin Leach? Well that makes sense. "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and dead. Whoever he paid is an accomplice though, right? Wonder who that might be. /s
I remember ads for some mindless drivel, on the tube years ago, yet can’t recall anything else about this tosspot Wendy.
Even though Bill is a horndog, I do not see him stooping to the depths of raping underaged trafficked kids that apparently many others have. But who the hell knows anything anymore.
And if, on the off chance there is probable cause, prosecute him for it. Easy-peasy. The difference between your average Democrat and the average trumpie is we don't cultivate blind loyalty.
This is something I've also noted--his tastes seem to run to fucking around with adult women (though in a subordinate position in many cases). And not even "childlike" adult women, or "barely legal" (ew).
Exactly. Monica was the youngest we know of at 21, and she was a zaftig womanly type.
I think Bill would screw anything that didn’t screw him first.
Now you're talking. Say it with me, yes mistress. I do want your huge strap on.
Why Babe, you used a four letter word
I know--it's not like me, and I honestly always feel a little bad about it, but we are where we are!
Trump has made the world a coarser place. ‘The fish rots from the head down’ has never been more apt an observation.
It's true.
Fuck yeah
I was writing that EXACT same comment! Like, even the word horndog!!! Kismet! 🤣🤣🤣
Bill likes them zaftig, for the most part. He just goes with those most available to him.
I can’t recall Arne, was Lewinsky more full figured?
She was.
I think he knows stuff about Trump that Trump would rather not get out, and that's why Trump is hands-off with him.
That’s very astute of Mrs. Spouse, and I think there may be something to it.
I do hope that Hillz takes time out every day to smack Bill with a shoe.
Ms Spouse has excellent intuition! Bill has had a zipper stuck in the “open” position for his entire adult life. Of course those two were “enjoying” life à la Epstein
Hillary called him “a hard dog to keep on the porch”.
Really? HAHAHAHAHA!!
Not likely, given what we've seen of Clinton's tastes in women. They weren't tastes Epstein was serving. I'm scratching my head at why people on the left are almost drooling to find Clinton guilty. Is it virtual signaling or what? I'm baffled. But I think you folks will ultimately be disappointed.
Here's a story that made me think of you, Jeff; a Cuban man is facing deportation notwithstanding having Trump's face tattooed on his neck.
https://www.facebook.com/calltoactivism/photos/karma-fan-with-trump-neck-tattoo-faces-deportationhe-put-donald-trumps-face-on-h/1407495744755132/
Such a great joke...https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hg97RRCUxkM

Both Clintons were invited to Trump parties. There are pictures. Print FACTS, not your FEELINGS about Clinton.
Clinton was president in the last century so it's not really relevant is it? ancient history these days
When you realise there are people aged around 30 who have NEVER HEARD OF BILL CLINTON!
You think I'm joking? Between TikTok and the American education system, the country is swarming with ignoramuses.
Saddest part of all is, they're not ignorant because they're stupid - they just don't get the chance to learn anything. And the biggest thing they don't get to learn is - how to learn.
Lady E, you said it better than anyone I ever heard. I might add, they don’t want to learn anything that might not have come from TikTok, etc.
So true (retired educator).
Why is it “irrelevant”? Is there a statute of limitations on child rape?
Actually, yes. Varies from state to state. Not sure about the Virgin Islands, though.
Generally between 15 and 50 years stateside.
Ancient history was stuff that happened more than two weeks ago, seems to me.
Ask Hillary
Oh, come on. Don't go there. The way he has stalked and slandered Hillary Clinton is an insult also to Bill Clinton, and everyone who loves her.
Andy, it doesn’t make me wonder at all. She has you, so why would she be interested in anyone else??.!? Silly you.
Ms Spouse is very smart. I’d listen to her if I were you, Jeff!
Wasn't it Bill who talked him into running as a Republican so Hillary would win?
THAT sure worked out!
He did this with Nancy Pelosi for a long time..never calling her names. But we all know that changed.
by the way — RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM ALERT — there's a Margaritaville Resort in Chocolate Hole. so now you know
I asked AI how Chocolate Hole got its name, and here's what it says:
Chocolate Hole got its name because the bay’s water can turn a deep, chocolate‑brown color—especially after heavy rain—due to sediment runoff from the surrounding hills. This distinctive appearance led locals to name the area “Chocolate Hole,” and the name stuck.
I hoped it was because they follow you around with a box of great dark chocolates and keep sticking them in your MOUTH HOLE whenever it gets empty.
Yeah - I was thinking of maybe booking a holiday there - I fancy swimming in chocolate.
Not so sure I fancy swimming in rust. . .
My Diabeetus has become unsettled.
Does Peter Thiel or Scott Bessent own Chocolate Hole? Or am I confusing CH with Hershey Highway?
Thanks Jeff -and I renew my question while the criminal elect threatens anyone who is mean to him with a civil suit:
If the Office of Legal Counsel provides an opinion that a sitting President should not be subjected to a criminal trial - because there are remedies in terms of impeachment, and because otherwise a President would spend all of their time responding to various criminal indictments and trials -why is a sitting President allowed to pursue civil lawsuits?
It seems the OLC should state if this President can be plaintiff in civil actions they have given up their right to be insulated from criminal proceedings.
Hear hear!!! Sound argument.
I’ve been wondering this myself!
oh come on - rules, common sense, fairness, anything faintly reminiscent of decency - all of no relevance these days
Especially since the face of Scientology is running the DOJ
Haven’t heard this one yet.
wut - extra unneeded madness
Poignant, George!
So who all saw the confirmation that Tulsi Gabbard is an actual Bond Villain this morning?

(Six women were running at one point.) Hmmmmm.... hit dog?
I’m not sure Hillary even mentioned the gender of the Russian asset. But Tulsi was sure quick to complain it was about her.
Hit dogs will holler, and all that b
She actually did say it was a woman. But with six women in the race, there was no reason for Tulsi to raise her hand. (Unless she was guilty!)
Fair enough. I couldn’t recall specifically.
I saw that...and holy crap. Theres so much fuckery it's hard to keep track of it all. 🤦♀️
Yes, we have forgotten just how bad Tulsi Gabbard is because the clown car of incompetents is so full, even she has been obscured by the others.
That's the point.
National Intelligence? Oxymoron!
Isn't she known as a Russian tool? Like her boss?
Someday, probably many years into the future, America will find out just who WAS a Russian asset in this administration.
I don't think Trump and Gabbard are the whole of it.
With what is being semi-revealed in the Epstein files, NOTHING would surprise me.
Start with the 7 GOP congresspeople Putin ordered to celebrate the Fourth of July 2018 in Moscow, who then came home and told us Russia didn't interfere in the election. Most, including senator, Ron Johnson, were associated with Russian spy and future member of the Duma Maria Buttina.

Maybe Putin’s schedule was full except for American Independence Day, who knows?
Missed it Unity, thanks!
No problem! And you are welcome my friend!
"FIFA Music Award for Most Melodious Farts," LOL!
The madness never ends. The release of the files has really pushed him over the edge. And when I read some of it, I about went over the edge. The thing that really is upsetting are the Republicans who STILL support this heap of smelly trash.
When can we please be rid of him?????
We need a Federal Circuit to label him a vexatious litigant and force the 6 MAGA Supremes to say otherwise.
Just for starters.
My district did it quite often.
That heap of smelly trash is the only thing they found floating after their ship went down, so they cling to it. Because they couldn't rouse themselves to stop him, he's now all they have left. And some are heading to the exits.
Every single day plentiful reasons to push him out of power and yet those who can will not. I believe that in the four years of the Biden presidency, they were all meeting in cult like fashion, swearing an oath to Project 2025 that nothing, nothing would stop them from allowing it to continue. Even though they would find much of it repulsive to their constituents, they must keep to the oath. I also believe that most of the Democratic Party finds itself in the same position. There are only a handful of Democrats speaking out publicly. We are living in an unending episode of Black Mirror meets The Twilight Zone meets The Sopranos.
How about this afternoon at 3:00?
How about now? 🤷🏼♀️
Sports betters are saying he'll get his next stroke or a heart attack on Feb. 17th, but I can't get too excited because it makes me feel like one of the Rapture crowd who are always disappointed.
HA! Right!!
Yesterday would have been MAVELOUS🤡‼️
Or die? I’m all for that although my husband says that then he’s some kind of martyr for MAGA
When is trash day, again? Is it on Monday or Friday?
😂😂
We’ve gotta wait until Friday 😢
He will never sue Trevor Noah, because in order to sue for slander, you have to prove the person was lying—and the discovery alone will deter him from going anywhere near that shit.
That’s what I was thinking. Bring it!
Yeah, discovery is a bitch.
Ooops, Stephanie, I just tried to post about that, but I don't know shit about it, so it's kinda garbled. I wasn't tryin to copy off you. 🤦♂️🤷♂️👍
This isn’t related to today’s commentary but I found it hilarious this morning when I read that dickwad is shutting down the Kennedy center because it’s in such bad shape that he will take two years to fix up! Bwahahahahaha! How to try to save face when absolutely no one will perform at your shitty behest. It gave me such happiness. That idiot will let that building just sit until his time is up or hopefully he expires before it. Then his shitty name will be removed and people will come right back to the exact same building that is suddenly just falling to pieces. He is such a transparent tool and there are so many of his cultists that are so stupid they believe it, but this old bat knew right away what a load of shit that was.
That was my first thought, that no one of any substance will perform there. Also, I believe the venue underwent a complete renovation a couple of years ago.
That and, I think I read in the Guardian, ticket sales are down 47%!
"...Donny’s only contribution to that field is the pungent aroma of ass music he creates every time he falls asleep in public."
Literally spit my coffee right at my cat. She's now in hiding.
I've learned the hard way that my cat needs to be in another room when I read my daily dose of JT.
I'm still practicing self-care by not spending as much time on Substack, but I have been reading my favorites - just not the comments sections. This will be my only comment today, I couldn't resist! Thank you, Jeff! And Mrs. Spouse - who's right, as usual!
You are wise to practice self-care. I am also cutting down, although I support several Substacks financially because they deserve support. I will never give up on Jeff, though.
I, too am doin the self-care thing. My nerves were gettin to me BAD. I'm so scared we won't make it 3 more years. Hell, I'm not even sure about making it to midterms. Seriously. He should have already been removed. Real-talk
Don the Con, the consummate grifter. Our coffers will be completely empty by the time that disgusting predator is done pilfering everything. Geezus. Can he just die? The world would rejoice. Ugh.
YES! Can he please die? God knows he’s rotting away…
He STEALS! Say it! Let's make certain that everyone understands clearly what he is doing...including children. Even Donald understands that word. He is taking what doesn't belong to him and putting it in his piggy bank. That makes him a thief.
A LIAR and a THIEF. A national treasure! Thanks, 77 million American morons!
And, thanks to the 90 million people who sat on their butts and didn't even bother to vote! It still infuriates me! Grrrr.
Piggy is correct
( my daily prayer)
Don, the consummate criminal. That was the original family scam, "influence" in housing/real estate regulation, diverting funding..."waste, FRAUD, & abuse". He's just being "transparent" now, asserting everything is his. We're just another casino to ruin while he profits. This is the only "business" he knows.
"I'm going to have some fun with you"
Does Cankles think Trevor is a 13-yr-old girl?
Gross.... his last breaths will be playing the part of a mob boss....and badly. God, I despise him.
Most disturbing part of the whole thing.
Yes.
Sounds like something out of "Silence of the Lambs. . ."
Ewww
🤮🤮
The Orange pustule doesn't write this stuff. He might dictate it but I think his minions embellish it for him.
I think it might be Grok doing the writing "in the style of Trump".
And corrects grammar. There is no way that he knew that M.C. required “an” in front of it instead of “a”.
Great job by Joaquin Castro on the rescue! I hope that family will remain safe.
And does Trevor Noah have corporate bosses? I imagine there's going to be some sort of settlement or suspension to curry favor. Remember, you are free to trample on the First Amendment if you serve the unreconstructed.
You don't see Bill Clinton making threats to sue like this. Seems like people are plenty free to diss him and he takes his medicine like an adult it seems.
But yeah, audacity to be a mantoddler is part of the base model package when you serve the unreconstructed.
I wonder if Bill Clinton gives a rat's ass anymore.
Stinkbutt wants his Grammy. Have a younger staffer show him how to use Garage Band and record your cover of “My Way.”
Maybe he could do his own personal version of "YMCA."
Umm, he can't spell.
LOL!!
😂😂😂
No, have him record YMCA. It's a perennial favorite.
Joaquin Castro gets extra points for carrying their stuff so that Adrian can carry his son Liam.
Yes, that was a very classy and knowledgeable move by Castro
I'm still scratching my head about how Trumpsters can look at this man and see STRENGTH and MANLINESS. I actually talked to one at a party who is a cousin of a friend of mine and she told me that while she didn't agree with him on every issue, she saw him as strong, and determined, and focused, and powerful. My glasses must be dirty, because all I see is profound weakness and cowering fear.
like mr ed said ... a cult is a cult of course of course
Donald has gotten away with threatening nuisance lawsuits plenty, but let’s support Trevor Noah in not settling. This one has everything, a 1st amendment challenge&think of all of the Epstein discovery. I’m not exactly defending Bill Clinton, but Clinton says release all of the files&Trump says no.
Can't wait for Discovery.
It’ll be fun when an actual lawyer tells Poundfoolish the Dancing Clown about discovery and what that means.
"He was mean to me and hurt my fee fees" won't stand up in court.
Won't be long till he has his own Discovery Channel.
