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 .
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."
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
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
😉 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.
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.....
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.
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?
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.
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!😬🫣😳😱🤯!!
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
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!!!!
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.
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"
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?
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!!
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.
Right wing media falsely claimed that Biden crapped his pants during the G7 summit cause… you know they accuse Biden of doing all the crappy things that Cheeto boy does-projection!
Some kinda mangled shit she misspoke at her loco NRA MEETING,local not loco 😝 Load em up mamma plenty of targets out there ,just aim and shoot ,you’ll hit something!
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.
You caused me to spit my coffee! Perhaps we can trigger them by tanning one ball only? I don’t hate many things; I hate racist fuckwads, MAGAs ever more so because they’re Trump-apologist fuckwads.
Is that always the small one for males? Because women's tit's (there's that word again...) depend in the female, so asking for me and my uninformed friends.
I still say actual journalists should explain "Adult Diaper baby fetish" to them, and congratulate them for coming out publically with their kink. I guarantee they won't do it again.
Mike, I do feel sorry for the few remaining wonderful white men, my husband and son, thankfully are both in that category, but it can’t be easy for the good ones, right now. But you are out there, and I thank you!
Exactly. I will be able to vote in Missouri this election...I sure wont be endorsing her-OR ANY-of the shitty Repubs there. And to think it used to be so blue. Claire McCaskill, we miss you!!
Republicans piss and moan about EVERYTHING! Yet…what do they do??? Not a fucking thing! Excuse me White Boy Summer assholes? Who the hell do you think you are??? GOD I HATE SOME PEOPLE!!! (I’m getting pissy in my old age!)
Tess, you and me both! Like Jeff says, they are a grievance machine! Making our country sound like it’s heading for the dung pile,when in reality we are rocking it, thank you President Joe!
Let's all pray for a boring day today, then. I'm looking forward to what Jeff has to say about dragging (pushing?) Christianity into American schools covered by the First Amendment's non-establishment clause.
They could't make me say, it I just stayed silent. It felt too much like indoctrination to me, being forced to chant something in unison. That was the pledge only, Madelyn Murray OHair was doing her much needed work shuting that other nonsense down.
BATON ROUGE (The Borowitz Report)—The Republican governor of Louisiana signed a new law on Wednesday requiring every classroom in the state to display a poster listing all Ten Commandments that Donald J. Trump has broken.
Pretty damn stupid. Someone told me yesterday that he was much better off when Trump was in office. Pretty bizarre and funny shit considering my bank account suggests otherwise.
Plus they refuse to believe Trump ordered the Saudis to cut oil production or lose their defense funding. Perhaps that 11th Commandment Mel Brooks referred to was thou shalt not extort.
A lot of his supporters are psychologically broken rather than stupid. Like him, they've never learned how to cope with *any* uncomfortable feeling and instead turn all of them into rage. Their lives are consumed by rage, and they want to hurt anyone they (rightly or wrongly) think has harmed them. Hence their love of someone who promises to inflict the pain they can't.
That said, tens of millions of Americans (myself among them) are rightly enraged about how we've been screwed financially over the past 40 years; it has cost us jobs, professions, a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging, our health, the finan.+psych. security of owning a home (renting leads to perpetual anxiety in this era of price-gouging landlords), and lots of other bad stuff. I, the child of two FDR Dems, would never in a thousand yrs vote for a GOP, but I'm angry / anxious / depressed almost all the time, and I fully understand why so many people who've been broken by this country are dealing with their unhappiness in a different way. I don't condone it, but I get it.
I think we'll start devising solutions after we grasp that his supporters are motivated more by their psychological wounds than by their modest intellect or insufficient education.
And all of those symptoms are directly connected to Reagan screwing over the poor, and defunding public education, and otherwise stacking the deck, to give the rich more wealth, and blaming black people as to why the poor acould not get ahead. And yet they merrily continued to vote for the very assholes keeping them down.
I really was responding to Trump saying in the video “who believes this crap” about whatever imagined grievance. I do understand what you’re saying, though and I don’t disagree. I’m fed up too and they aren’t the only ones suffering, but there are plenty of people who don’t take their anger out in bigoted, racist ways. That’s where ignorance comes in.
I thoroughly agree. Our elected representatives have allowed a lot of this mess to happen, either intentionally, or just by not being assertive enough, not fighting back enough for the people they are supposed to represent. We also must share the blame for not paying attention & staying as highly engaged as we are now that things have gone to hell.
When Reagan was elected I renewed my German passport, which I had taken for granted. What I did not take for granted is my knowledge of people fleeing when they do no longer feel safe in their own country. So, since I technically have 2 countries I have made sure to have options. Still, I regularly write to my US reps, and have written some German ones as well. I am engaged and I do not deserve this, neither do any of the people that I am reading here, who all seem engaged. Now we are also old enough to know better too. I do not know what to do to put a bee in the Democratic party's bonnet so that they get livelier campaigns, and take on the issues that they are supposedly standing for. It certainly won a mom in a southern state, which I cannot remember a seat when she took on abortion as her platform.
Thinking of setting up a giant flat screen monitor on our front patio and playing that video over and over and over and over again so that all of our neighbors can see and hear it!
June 18th: I went to work. June 19th: I went to work. June 20th: I'm at work. Except for National Free Donut Day affecting my waist line, I don't understand the hub-bub over our chosen holidays. Holidays are a chance to reflect positively on events and people.
I'd like to see those who are of privilege run out of daddy's $ and have to get a job working for someone else. My choice a teacher assistant in public school, first grade with 30 kids. 20 lunch break, bathroom when kids at recess when you don't have recess duty, 20 minute break without kids for the entire day. Pay=minimum wage and don't complain, you do it because you like kids.
"Don't be weak and gay"??? For one thing, Valentina, I've seen some gay men who look like bodybuilding competition champions. Also, sure seems weak to me to be that terrified of anyone who is even the slightest bit different from you.
It is such a tone-deaf shirt I had to get closer to the screen to make sure I was reading it right. Yep. Bigotry is now a source of pride, as the irony boat sinks of its own weight.
They constantly rip off the culture they envy. Mostly because they know they are dweebs, and like to pretend they are cool. But they have no creativity thus must rip off those with imagination.
Bodybuilders build for other men, regardless of their sexual preference. I lived with a (straight) body builder and everytime we would walk by another buff male, he would puff up like a blowfish, until that male had passed by. And we knew a ton of gay male bodybuilders on the circuit!
Incidentally, I was just in Juneau, and one of the taverns there was going to have a Juneteenth show. The woke has spread! Save yourselves! Republicans amaze me: go after nice things like holidays and Dolly Parton, defend nasty things, such as Donald Trump
Oh, Lordy! I feel ya. I'm exhausted but I wait faithfully in front of my computer for Jeff's outrage of the day. Can't help myself. I'm going shopping now...
Tip to save $ + energy: When I had AC, I set it at 78F and used oscillating fans to move the air around. Made the room feel much cooler (about 72F), and my bills were lower. Best wishes.
Adding moisture helps too. A humidifier, or put a wet towel near your a/c, fan, where you and your family hang out. Tweet towel at night. You can buy a cheap humidity meter too.
Much as I love it, Thanksgiving is sort of the original white person holiday.
There are several more holidays that need to be "made up", like perhaps a "sorry about the broken treaties and genocide but thanks for the cool feather headdresses" holiday for the Injuns, and some others too, for the Messicans & Chinee that essentially built the West. That would be a good thing.
Hi Jeff, continuing my episodes in MAGA land, after golf. Lunchtime with MAGA.. that should be reality show… this time after taking jabs on the course we settle in… All are in the tank for Donald… I bring up the inconvenient reality that their hero was convicted of 34 felonies, as such Donald is unable to own a firearm, must report to probation officer, unable to associate with convicted criminals and take a pee test… Boy, these guys were pissed that their Dear Leader must comply..I brought up the convictions no less than 5 times.. one said these convictions would be reversed on appeal… well, the NY Appellate Court just rejected Donald’s appeal on the gag order, and I fully expect the same over these convictions… Man these guys were pissed…made my day.. and took their money from the golf game… have a great day Jeff and fellow travelers.🤠
Grown white ass men waving pink White Boy Summer flags sends a message I don’t think that they think that far ahead or they’re just showing their passions out loud.
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 .
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!
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.
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
Yup. They’re all romantic about it.
WTF, why ?
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
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?"
😉 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.
Justin Timberlake, whoever he is ...
I get down on my knees every day and thank God that I do not belong to the generation that had to think highly of Justin Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake
Same response here when I saw it…🤦🏻♀️
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.
The question is, do we really believe that SCOTUS will have a decision tomorrow? I say no, what say you?
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?
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.
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!😬🫣😳😱🤯!!
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.
They are still consulting the kindergarten classes of America for their answer.
WHY I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP.
Trump is a serial liar.
Trump is a con.
Trump is a fraud.
Trump is a convicted felon.
Trump surrounds himself with criminals.
Trump is a scumbag sex-abuser.
Trump demeans women and wants to control their healthcare choices.
Trump is a racist.
Trump is Vladimir Putin’s Puppet.
Trump is a fascist and a wanna-be dictator.
Trump loves Nazi’s.
Trump is hell bent on taking away our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Trump is a terrible businessperson.
Trump is mentally imbalanced.
Trump was America’s Presidential Accident and is America’s Disgrace
Trump is out of control and filled with rage.
Trump was America’s Presidential Accident and is America’s Disgrace.
I read lots of American history. The Orange Turd is the: worst. president. ever.
Steve, it is incredibly hard to believe that any American would vote for scumbag, piece-of-shit Trump!
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.
He hates the same people they hate.
Worst person ever
He’s also an asshole.
Eva....😅🤣
TRUTH, and I love it, Eva.
There is that:-)
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
Is that all? 😂
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?
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!!
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.
You're exactly right!!
You might add I am not insane !😵💫
And 💩 in his pants stinking his surroundings 🤮
Right wing media falsely claimed that Biden crapped his pants during the G7 summit cause… you know they accuse Biden of doing all the crappy things that Cheeto boy does-projection!
He's also an asshole.
Pretty sure she meant “wretched” but then wingnut is not my first language.
nor mine
I think racist was the word Ma Barker was reaching for ! How you say app pro what ever the fuck it is !
"Wingnut is not my first language." 😂😂😂😂
Some kinda mangled shit she misspoke at her loco NRA MEETING,local not loco 😝 Load em up mamma plenty of targets out there ,just aim and shoot ,you’ll hit something!
😂😂😂😂
OMG, I made it through Jeff’s article without snorting my oatmeal because I was being careful. This caught me by surprise on my last bite! 🤣
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.
Could be. I mean, “wretched” doesn’t make all that much more sense in context either, but it’s what I heard.
Yes. Exactly.
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.
Balentina's accent taint gonna go down well with The Base:-)
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’”
I think ratched is a youth speak. Not sure what choir she was preaching to.
Maybe a Freudian slip ,wrenched racist bitch !
😂😂
She did mean wretched.
Tucker Carlson said to tan your balls if you want to be a real man. It’s really confusing to be white anymore.
You caused me to spit my coffee! Perhaps we can trigger them by tanning one ball only? I don’t hate many things; I hate racist fuckwads, MAGAs ever more so because they’re Trump-apologist fuckwads.
The left one only! 🤣
Is that always the small one for males? Because women's tit's (there's that word again...) depend in the female, so asking for me and my uninformed friends.
All we can say, is that it depends:-)
When there’s an organ with bilateral representation one side will always be smaller than the other. That’s what Siri told me. ;)
😂😂
😂😂
And that other crazy-ass group says to be a real man, one must wear diapers, hahaha, I still can't get over those lunatics 😂
I still say actual journalists should explain "Adult Diaper baby fetish" to them, and congratulate them for coming out publically with their kink. I guarantee they won't do it again.
That might actually work!
Mike, I do feel sorry for the few remaining wonderful white men, my husband and son, thankfully are both in that category, but it can’t be easy for the good ones, right now. But you are out there, and I thank you!
Tucker has balls?
😂
Hope he gets a 3rd degree sunburn!
No it aint…unless you’re listening to people like that
Racism is the most disgusting element in America, fueled by the hateful GOP. Has Ms Gomez looked in the mirror? Whatta bitch.
That was my first thought. Doesn't she know she's a minority?
Exactly. I will be able to vote in Missouri this election...I sure wont be endorsing her-OR ANY-of the shitty Repubs there. And to think it used to be so blue. Claire McCaskill, we miss you!!
Because she is a minority, she had to go out of her way to show white Republicans what side she's on.
Exactly!
Not old enough to remember West side Story ! When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way! She doesn’t know she’s not a Jet ! Shark bait !
Her and Candace Owen’s both.
Lol, speaking of self-hatred.
Lol, I didn’t know you wrote this until I read, “whatta bitch, then I looked and said, of course, it’s Susan! 😂🫶
You can always count own me, Joanne! 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
😆😆😆
She went full Karen.
And Ramaswamy is going to wear a White Boy Summer hat. 🙄
A total moron. He needs to look in the mirror, too.
All he sees is the money he conned out of investors. Fucking crook!!
And as soon as she opens her stupid mouth, the game's over.
Can you say self-loathing? Sure. I knew you could.😆😆
Lol!!
She needs to burn. 🔥
Republicans piss and moan about EVERYTHING! Yet…what do they do??? Not a fucking thing! Excuse me White Boy Summer assholes? Who the hell do you think you are??? GOD I HATE SOME PEOPLE!!! (I’m getting pissy in my old age!)
Tess, you and me both! Like Jeff says, they are a grievance machine! Making our country sound like it’s heading for the dung pile,when in reality we are rocking it, thank you President Joe!
Yeah, they is snowflakes:-)
Don't miss this really good Lincoln Project video on Trump breaking 8 out of 10 of the Ten Commandments.
https://action.lincolnproject.us/commandment_ad
unless something more newsworthy happens today, I'll be writing about Louisiana's ten commandments law tomorrow
How many times have religious nuts tried this, only to fail? It’s just virtue signaling to the gullible.
Alas, this time, I can see a 5-4 decision upholding this as a good thing, with Robert joining the sane three
I hope not, but you could very well be right.
Let's all pray for a boring day today, then. I'm looking forward to what Jeff has to say about dragging (pushing?) Christianity into American schools covered by the First Amendment's non-establishment clause.
I remember as a kid in Elementary school reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and after that the Lord's Prayer. Yuk.
Even as a Catholic school kid in the 1960s, I would always say, "... one nation under gawd.... with liberty and justice for some."
I just left out the “under god” part.
They could't make me say, it I just stayed silent. It felt too much like indoctrination to me, being forced to chant something in unison. That was the pledge only, Madelyn Murray OHair was doing her much needed work shuting that other nonsense down.
Those kids really gotta quit adulterating.
Can’t wait! Make up what they REALLY think are the 10 Commandments! hahahaha
They need to focus first on providing quality education.
This nonsense is to virtue signal, because that's the last thing they want to do, education helps children see through lies.
True-MAGA wants an uninformed electorate-better than that, they would prefer only wealthy white men have the right to vote
Shall not Lie should be one of them,
I believe 'bear false witness' covers that one.
That is so, but I honestly don't think the average MAGA nut or Christian fundamentalst realizes that's what it means.
BATON ROUGE (The Borowitz Report)—The Republican governor of Louisiana signed a new law on Wednesday requiring every classroom in the state to display a poster listing all Ten Commandments that Donald J. Trump has broken.
Seriously, how stupid are the people in this country to believe Trump’s crap?
Pretty damn stupid. Someone told me yesterday that he was much better off when Trump was in office. Pretty bizarre and funny shit considering my bank account suggests otherwise.
I’ve had the same convos with idiots too. Cheap gas prices! because collective amnesia that we were in a pandemic
At the end of Shitler's Reign of Terror we were using refrigerator trucks as morgues and wiping our asses with coffee filters. Good times!!
At least in 🇨🇦 we could use facial tissue when we couldn’t find TP. 😉
Clogs the sewer lines 😂
Plus they refuse to believe Trump ordered the Saudis to cut oil production or lose their defense funding. Perhaps that 11th Commandment Mel Brooks referred to was thou shalt not extort.
A lot of his supporters are psychologically broken rather than stupid. Like him, they've never learned how to cope with *any* uncomfortable feeling and instead turn all of them into rage. Their lives are consumed by rage, and they want to hurt anyone they (rightly or wrongly) think has harmed them. Hence their love of someone who promises to inflict the pain they can't.
That said, tens of millions of Americans (myself among them) are rightly enraged about how we've been screwed financially over the past 40 years; it has cost us jobs, professions, a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging, our health, the finan.+psych. security of owning a home (renting leads to perpetual anxiety in this era of price-gouging landlords), and lots of other bad stuff. I, the child of two FDR Dems, would never in a thousand yrs vote for a GOP, but I'm angry / anxious / depressed almost all the time, and I fully understand why so many people who've been broken by this country are dealing with their unhappiness in a different way. I don't condone it, but I get it.
I think we'll start devising solutions after we grasp that his supporters are motivated more by their psychological wounds than by their modest intellect or insufficient education.
And all of those symptoms are directly connected to Reagan screwing over the poor, and defunding public education, and otherwise stacking the deck, to give the rich more wealth, and blaming black people as to why the poor acould not get ahead. And yet they merrily continued to vote for the very assholes keeping them down.
I really was responding to Trump saying in the video “who believes this crap” about whatever imagined grievance. I do understand what you’re saying, though and I don’t disagree. I’m fed up too and they aren’t the only ones suffering, but there are plenty of people who don’t take their anger out in bigoted, racist ways. That’s where ignorance comes in.
I thoroughly agree. Our elected representatives have allowed a lot of this mess to happen, either intentionally, or just by not being assertive enough, not fighting back enough for the people they are supposed to represent. We also must share the blame for not paying attention & staying as highly engaged as we are now that things have gone to hell.
When Reagan was elected I renewed my German passport, which I had taken for granted. What I did not take for granted is my knowledge of people fleeing when they do no longer feel safe in their own country. So, since I technically have 2 countries I have made sure to have options. Still, I regularly write to my US reps, and have written some German ones as well. I am engaged and I do not deserve this, neither do any of the people that I am reading here, who all seem engaged. Now we are also old enough to know better too. I do not know what to do to put a bee in the Democratic party's bonnet so that they get livelier campaigns, and take on the issues that they are supposedly standing for. It certainly won a mom in a southern state, which I cannot remember a seat when she took on abortion as her platform.
How much time you got:-)
Sufficiently.
Thank you for a link to the video!
Thinking of setting up a giant flat screen monitor on our front patio and playing that video over and over and over and over again so that all of our neighbors can see and hear it!
That's a good idea.
According to Mel Brooks there were 11 commandments before Moses dropped one.

GREAT spot!
June 18th: I went to work. June 19th: I went to work. June 20th: I'm at work. Except for National Free Donut Day affecting my waist line, I don't understand the hub-bub over our chosen holidays. Holidays are a chance to reflect positively on events and people.
Juneteenth is probably CRT because it might suggest to some white people that slaves weren't necessarily happy being in bondage.
That's right, it's not like most of us have contracts or there is labor law that enforces time off much.
I'd like to see those who are of privilege run out of daddy's $ and have to get a job working for someone else. My choice a teacher assistant in public school, first grade with 30 kids. 20 lunch break, bathroom when kids at recess when you don't have recess duty, 20 minute break without kids for the entire day. Pay=minimum wage and don't complain, you do it because you like kids.
"Don't be weak and gay"??? For one thing, Valentina, I've seen some gay men who look like bodybuilding competition champions. Also, sure seems weak to me to be that terrified of anyone who is even the slightest bit different from you.
It is such a tone-deaf shirt I had to get closer to the screen to make sure I was reading it right. Yep. Bigotry is now a source of pride, as the irony boat sinks of its own weight.
Same!! I was like...wait, does it really say that??? These people are frigging ridiculous.
They constantly rip off the culture they envy. Mostly because they know they are dweebs, and like to pretend they are cool. But they have no creativity thus must rip off those with imagination.
Bodybuilders build for other men, regardless of their sexual preference. I lived with a (straight) body builder and everytime we would walk by another buff male, he would puff up like a blowfish, until that male had passed by. And we knew a ton of gay male bodybuilders on the circuit!
Incidentally, I was just in Juneau, and one of the taverns there was going to have a Juneteenth show. The woke has spread! Save yourselves! Republicans amaze me: go after nice things like holidays and Dolly Parton, defend nasty things, such as Donald Trump
Life has turned into the Batman TV show.
They should have told us, no, Batman isn’t real. But when you grow up, you’ll live in Gotham City
Damn, I am just so tired of this shit.
Oh, Lordy! I feel ya. I'm exhausted but I wait faithfully in front of my computer for Jeff's outrage of the day. Can't help myself. I'm going shopping now...
Me too. I'm going out to get some fruit and then flopping in front of the AC.
Tip to save $ + energy: When I had AC, I set it at 78F and used oscillating fans to move the air around. Made the room feel much cooler (about 72F), and my bills were lower. Best wishes.
I do the same and it really works well.
Yes. Very good of them to share that tip.
Adding moisture helps too. A humidifier, or put a wet towel near your a/c, fan, where you and your family hang out. Tweet towel at night. You can buy a cheap humidity meter too.

Much as I love it, Thanksgiving is sort of the original white person holiday.
There are several more holidays that need to be "made up", like perhaps a "sorry about the broken treaties and genocide but thanks for the cool feather headdresses" holiday for the Injuns, and some others too, for the Messicans & Chinee that essentially built the West. That would be a good thing.
Like Linda, I am so very tired of this shit
This shite angries up my blood, Homes. So keep it coming.
Hi Jeff, continuing my episodes in MAGA land, after golf. Lunchtime with MAGA.. that should be reality show… this time after taking jabs on the course we settle in… All are in the tank for Donald… I bring up the inconvenient reality that their hero was convicted of 34 felonies, as such Donald is unable to own a firearm, must report to probation officer, unable to associate with convicted criminals and take a pee test… Boy, these guys were pissed that their Dear Leader must comply..I brought up the convictions no less than 5 times.. one said these convictions would be reversed on appeal… well, the NY Appellate Court just rejected Donald’s appeal on the gag order, and I fully expect the same over these convictions… Man these guys were pissed…made my day.. and took their money from the golf game… have a great day Jeff and fellow travelers.🤠
I love expropriation of MAGAt funds through golf.😆😆
Prob last time they invite you to golf with them!
It’s complicated
Wow, we get a brand new fucking clown show every day. Thanks Republican dipshits!!
Is their white boy summer flag pink????
oh no, it's Gay Boy Summer — don't tell them
Grown white ass men waving pink White Boy Summer flags sends a message I don’t think that they think that far ahead or they’re just showing their passions out loud.
Angry, Closeted White Boy Summer get's my vote.
🤣
