so we didn't get a Supreme Court ruling on Donny's immunity today. I hate it when I'm having to refresh twitter every five minutes while I'm in the middle of writing something, in case I have to tear it up because of breaking news.

Jeff, you'd be forgiven if something else happens after you post! You're not a breaking news site, you're an awesome columnist. We can go to Google News or CNN for superficial updates throughout the day, your role is to put the crazy in perspective and make sense of it all .

Expand full comment

or... if there's no sense to be had, to put the crazy up on display so we can laugh our asses off at it all!

Expand full comment

Exactly, because Jeff uses the superficial shit for headlines and then goes into the deeper shit anyway, which takes time.

The most chilling part is that, even though 40% of this country can recognize the evil in this man, they still want him to be President.

Expand full comment

No, the most chilling part is that they want him to be President BECAUSE of the evil in this man. It reflects their own evil, and calls it "patriotism."

M M, you nailed it...the horror of horrors.

Right wing media keeps saying that Cheeto boy is getting the black vote-I keep thinking “why would they vote for him? He’s never done anything for black people & has no plan to do anything, that I’m aware of, for black people”. In fact I think Tim Scott & Byron Donalds are making fools out of themselves-even more than white MAGAts

Expand full comment

Yup. They’re all romantic about it.

Expand full comment

WTF, why ?

Expand full comment

They seem like they are absolutely doing anything they can to get in his good graces & I think he relishes it-I think Cheeto enjoys these guys sucking up to him even more than the cult members

Expand full comment

Clearly, they're waging lawfare on Jeff! Time for pitchforks!

Count me in. I can't carry a pitchfork, but I swing a MEAN walker!

I use the pitchfork as a cane, myself—but I loves me some multitasking.

LOL! My first thought was, "MY GOD, was I married to him at one point?"

Expand full comment

😉 Probably not—I was married and am in the middle of The Divorce that Never Ends, but I'd think we'd recognize each other if we'd been married at any time.

Thankfully, mine was fairly quick, and easy. Crossing my fingers for you!

I had CNN on when I was folding laundry yesterday (can't change the channel) and they flashed a huge BREAKING NEWS red banner. I was thinking maybe it was to announce another shoddy SC judgement but no. It was about Justin Bieber getting a DWI. OMG I laughed so hard. I gotta get my priorities straightened out, I guess.....

Marcie,

I almost said something about this earlier after I saw a five-minute stint on MSNBC this morning about Justin. So many more important things to be discussing in the news beside a guy that can afford a lawyer to defend him from a DUI. I don't give a shit who gets a DUI and I certainly don't think it's information I need from national news networks. Especially since we have a crazy orange lunatic running for president.

I'm trying to figure out why ABC News has a 'near miss' story about planes every night...

Fear and anger are emotions that drive up readership. Let us refuse to be manipulated thusly.

Wait! I'm trying to process your Breaking News. Laundry is supposed to be folded??

Some folks actually put their sheets in a closet and do not immediately put them back on the bed. Not saying how I swing on that issue.

I guess the honeymoon's over for the Biebers.

Expand full comment

The question is, do we really believe that SCOTUS will have a decision tomorrow? I say no, what say you?

Expand full comment

Absolutely not. They will wait until the very last moment, just as they are closing the door for the summer and shutting off the lights at the SC, jetting out of town to their luxury fishing trips or summer beach house or jetting to Corfu. They know better than to hang out where the CITIZENS might get a chance to voice their opinion within their earshot.

Remember what they did the day they released Dobbs?

Expand full comment

I don't remember what they did after the Dobbs decision, but I am assuming that they shot out of there very quickly.

I also think that they are waiting until after November 5th to see if Sir Shitshimself wins or not.

Expand full comment

As I recalled, it was the very last day of the term, and the Dobbs announcement was made right AFTER they had already left the building for the summer.

Oooooh, can they actually put it off and wait until after the election to announce a decision? I'm not sure. I guess we will find out in the next couple weeks.

Maybe in a helicopter like GW Bush during the Obama inauguration?

If they do ,it will be the most convoluted,bizzare,uncomprehendable line of fucken tripe ever written in the history of distorted propaganda ,that affirms Trump is indeed immune,but he’s the only one ,because he’s the sanest ,greatest human being to hold the Presidency,oh! And the election was stolen so he’s the legitimate president not Biden ! So! Take a hike Joe ! The immaculate sack of shit 💩 is Back for some retribution ! Aaaahhhhhhh!😬🫣😳😱🤯!!

Expand full comment

Whew! Well said .... now that that's done, it's a good time to calm down and relax!

Most people think it will be the very last day of the term, and the term might be extended a day or two. Definitely do not hold your breath.

JOEL, you have written what I carry around in my 86 yo brain every day, and have since '15 when the escalator event happened, and I've been hanging on to life since. I WILL make it to Nov 5th to vote AGAIN for Joe & Kamala, and ALL DEMS I CAN VOTE FOR...LEGALLY

THANKS FOR EVERY AMERICAN WHO CAN/WILL READ

But they do!! Seemingly "normal" people I've known my entire life!! It's insanity. And they say I'm the crazy one for perpetuating this Fascism "BS". Omfg. They're out to lunch!!!!

Thank you Jeff for always making me laugh and giving me a break from the rigors of my Political Advocacy!! You're the BEST!!!!

Thanks. I felt that from the fake gold escalator moment several years ago.

Me too. It was stunning, but not surprising, at all, that he PAID actors $50 bucks a piece to be at Fraud Trump Tower for that moment. Liar Scumbag Trump is the ULTIMATE FRAUD.

I’m hoping there will just be an asterisk in place of his name and picture when future publications of our presidents are made.

Well, Nancy, I'm hoping that, if and when his name and picture appear in future publications of any sort, the "picture" will be a shot of (excuse my language) a large asshole with Trump's hair on top and that the caption below will read "Liar Fraud Con Felon Trump. America's Presidential Accident and Disgrace"

That’s even better!

I hope he has a mug shot they can use

Expand full comment

Is that all? 😂

Expand full comment

My brain can't understand why he can even run, let alone be tied in the polls with Biden. I'm in my 70s and for the first time in my life, I am afraid for my country. This should not be happening. How did we get to this place?

Expand full comment

Bc we had the audacity to elect a Black man for President for starters and enact some Progressive reforms. Trump was the backlash.

Another big lesson I've learned through all of this is that Democracies have to be nourished and protected. Many were asleep at the wheel. Including me!!

Expand full comment

It’s also toxic or “end stage” capitalism

When all of the wealth gets concentrated into too few hands & those in the bottom half of the population lose hope of ever catching a break, they get really angry & desperate, & they will find a scapegoat or several to point their anger toward.

They will also hate the govt for allowing it to get so bad. I’m angry too! Our Democratic govt was asleep at the wheel, allowing shit to happen & not fighting back. Not listening to some of us who were screaming at them about Roe, guns, jobs, wealth gap, etc.

Sorry not sorry? 😂

Nah, she was trying to stir up shit. Racist thinks by using that term she can edge close to the n-word without using the n-word.

Expand full comment

Could be. I mean, “wretched” doesn’t make all that much more sense in context either, but it’s what I heard.

Expand full comment

Yes. Exactly.

Expand full comment

No, she was trying to be cool, ripping off the culture whose people she hates. Like all those white, suburban, boys who grew up with rap, that are mad because they aren't supposed to say the "N" word. They also use the words wrong because now Fox (so-called) News, tells them the words mean the opposite of what they mean.

I actually found this as an alternative definition for ratchet, but I find it hard to believe that her vocabulary is that nuanced.

“2. A situation or process that is perceived to be changing in a series of irreversible steps.

‘a one-way ratchet of expanding entitlements’”
