there was a whole side-drama that I chose not to get into in today's post. Republicans (and Katy Tur) are mad at Jill Biden for calling Hunter her son, when he is technically her step-son. the GOP is treating this as a major crime, because who the fuck knows why
For the record: Hunter was 7 years and 4 months old when Jill and his father married, after meeting two or two-plus years earlier. So he was probably 6, possibly 5, when his father integrated Jill into family activities -- in other words, when she became a mother figure to Hunter (and to Beau, who was about a year older).
But, hey, the party of family values is opposed to a traumatized, motherless boy taking comfort from calling the woman who stepped into that role "Mom", and from her viewing herself as his mother for the past 47 or so years. (Katy Tur can go straight to hell for joining their hateful chorus.)
Hunter was just a child when Jill married Joe. She has been Hunter’s mother for 46 years. Jill is supportive of her son. If that’s the way they feel how is it anyone’s business?
Because a rage machine can only rage. I have stepchildren. Many families have step children; Katy Tur is revealing something important, BIAS. She should claim it in her intro to the story. She has a family doesn’t she?
Her father is allegedly estranged living as a transgender woman who posted nude post op pics on the internet. I heard that’s why they don’t talk. She needed a Jill.
Yeah, she’s revealing she’s looking for ways to undermine the Biden’s. She chose the least worthy thing to say in this moment. Jill has been flying back CD and forth from France and to be with counter and still do her duty as First Lady. If Katy grows up to be half the woman Jill Biden has been over her long life she will have accomplished a lot. Shame on you, Katy.
Your Mom is the one that raised you. Hunter & Beau were young traumatized children who’d just lost their Mother and sister and almost lost their own lives in a car crash. Jill became Mom - married Joe a few years later- and raised them as her own. How many natural born parents did so well ? They are a family.
In this whole great big world, there's only one person whose opinion of whether or not Jill Biden is "Mom" or not, and that's Hunter.
Everyone else can fuck straight off with their opinions.
If he calls her "Mom", I give a flying shit at a rolling donut what ANYONE else calls her, especially not the cow turds pretending to be Republicans and especially MAGA "conservatives".
I know why. Because they’re soulless assholes, filled with hate and contempt for literally everything and everyone. How draining and demoralizing their lives must be. One feral scream of hate and rage after another. Over literally anything. Fuck these people. How can anyone ANYONE want them in charge of ANYTHING? On Thursday, Blob McConnell will crawl into a meeting with Donald Trump and collapse at his feet. They’re all corrupted. It’s like they’re zombies or pod people. God help us.
Oh FFS!! There is absolutely NOTHING that these assholes won’t bitch about. And their hypocrisy over guns and everything else is epic. God I hate them!
okey donkey, so the boys lost their mother, and Jill became their step- mom—an the only maternal presence in their lives. maybe she even adopted them. she’s their mother-in- fact. Calling her step-mother would unfairly mis-state her role and constantly remind an emphasize their loss to those poor young boys. and there’s no ambiguity or competitonn
im a stepmother myself. when my step-sons’ mother was living i would NEVER have called myself their “mother.” she has been gone a while, and i still say stepmom; my stepsons call be by my first name.
Why do Republicans object to Jill? Because their definition of “family” is overly legalistic and repressive. Remind you of any of their other positions. Because “hate”and division are their preferred postures.
Perhaps they should ponder the contrast between the support in court the Biden family gave hunter to the support Trump’s family gave him.
Because Jill is a genuine successful First Lady who earned her degrees and is successful in her career and is totally the opposite of the phony piece of work whose only interest was how many new designer clothes she could traipse around while she really didn’t fn care about a damn thing.
Because maybe she has been around him almost his whole life and functioned as his defacto mother? Didn't his real mother die in an automobile accident when he was a little guy? (edit: changed 'ream' to 'real'. F****** spellcheck!
Katy Tur should go home and consider why she is nit picking at Jill Biden who is the only mother Hunter has known and has memory of. He was three when his mother died.
BRAVO! Call it, Jeff. 👏👏👏 The Rethuglicans engage in political theater constantly. Such BS. Possibly the most beautiful thing was Joe changing his schedule and flying to Delaware to be with his son and family. I dont give a damn if Joe is a hundred and eighty one years old. The man has compassion and decency. And.... "rancid shitnozzles"? 😂😂😂 I'l laugh at that all day. 💙
Well said! Pray for me; about to go to a week-long family gathering that includes no fewer than 4 Magas, probably more. Sharing a house with the ring leader. Bringiulotsa vodka for me, wine for my wife.
it will be impossible to avoid at times. i pick and choose when to engage plus I’ve promised my MIL I’d stay outta the fray. It’s pointless to press them on any MAGA-related talking point because there is nothing I can say to change their mind.
My mother-in-law, whom I adore, wants to hang out with my wife and me and discuss history and the state of affairs; therefore, I agreed to go. I know how to the in-law Trumpies; but it can be exhausting. These are not unintelligent or uneducated people; just delusional and ignorant. c’est l’vie
I do love your creative name calling. I giggle and feel better. My family is Italian and everyone got a cynical name. Some arguments were a hoot to behold. Verbal artwork. Thank you
It's no secret that MAGA world was rooting for Biden's acquittal so they could scream "Rigged system!" Now they're screwed even by their own logic, so they pretzel their heads up their butts and complain that the left has blocked out the sun. I think Biden deserves a little compassion, not that MAGAs do compassion, but I hope his sentence is light.
I think probation with maybe some community service would make sense. Someone needs to drug test Donny junior. If he isn’t on drugs, he needs psychiatric help. Either one of which would preclude him from having guns.
I always think they look red-rimmed too. I think assumption that he’s on coke comes from how hyper he seems and how fast he talks, plus of course, his hare-brained thoughts.
“Everyone is equal except some people are more equal than others” said the Trumpkins in support of the Mango Assiolini. The Combover Caligula can’t fire (his now illegal) gun because his hands are too tiny.
“Rancid shitnozzles”for the win! Stephen Miller-nice bash! Grassley-WTF! and “Chuck his ass the fuck in prison!” Damn-can we be more disgusted with these idiots? Um…YES, YES WE CAN! Well done! Guns need to be MONITORED!!!!!
Which brings us to Jeff's photo of the nose-packing, rail-riding dipshit multiple gun owner, Don Jr. Since the GOP is losing their shit about Hunter Biden, imagine if the same set of rules would ever apply to the orange turd's coked-out, genetically-damaged offspring? We can only hope but their hypocrisy will continue to support the ongoing blatant two-tier justice system.
"Chuck Grassley, the 143-year-old senator from Iowa," made me laugh aloud -- thanks for that.
And, in case anyone missed it: I encourage you to read "Stephen Miller is an Immigration Hypocrite," written by one of his uncles and published in Politico in 2018. Not relevant to his recent ridiculous comments, but useful to know.
Yes, I cracked up at that Grassley comment too!😂 Miller, who looks like Adolf Eichmann, is an embarrASSment to us Jews. He along with the turncoat, Elise Stefanik, have not done us any favors. A pox on them!
I've never forgotten what a great psych professor said to our class c. 1991: "There's no hatred as potent as the self-hatred of the outsider."
So there's that, plus the reality that the turns-on-my-group person can rise very high within the hierarchy established by the dominant, hates-Others group. ................ If you haven't seen Zac Cheney-Rice's article about Mark Robinson, who has some of this self-hatred but is better known for his searing Others-hatred, I recommend it -- NY Mag / Intelligencer website.
Hi Jeff, I was with my MAGA golf group when the Biden verdict came down.. oh Boy they were so happy. Asked what I thought… I said it’s a good thing he’s not running for Prez. cause you don’t want a convicted felon to hold office. They STFU until the stock market reflected a loss, they cheered as the market went down. WTF?
Merrick Garland should feel really satisfied now that the case of Hunter Biden and the Hand Gun finally went to trial, convicted and now possible prison time.
Meanwhile the fucking Orange Menace runs afoul of another felony, in possession of a hand gun as a convicted felon that he transported from NY to Florida..
So many things to do so little time, isn’t that right Merrick?
Oh, wait. You DO have it both ways: with guns with the 2-tiered justice system, with control over our bodies, with the Supreme Court and their payoffs, etc., etc.,etc. every fucking day.

Katy Tur is as much a twatwaffle as Laura Ingra Ham or Kathleen Parker
Yup straight to Hades where she came from.
Bravo!
Hunter was just a child when Jill married Joe. She has been Hunter’s mother for 46 years. Jill is supportive of her son. If that’s the way they feel how is it anyone’s business?
I have an adopted 54-year-old daughter whom I've known since she was 5. Both she and I consider her to be my daughter.
Because a rage machine can only rage. I have stepchildren. Many families have step children; Katy Tur is revealing something important, BIAS. She should claim it in her intro to the story. She has a family doesn’t she?
Her father is allegedly estranged living as a transgender woman who posted nude post op pics on the internet. I heard that’s why they don’t talk. She needed a Jill.

If Katy grows up to be half the woman Jill Biden has been over her long life she will have accomplished a lot. Shame on you, Katy.
but she doesn't know what love is....
She does but for some reason has decided to go to the Dark Side.
Your Mom is the one that raised you. Hunter & Beau were young traumatized children who’d just lost their Mother and sister and almost lost their own lives in a car crash. Jill became Mom - married Joe a few years later- and raised them as her own. How many natural born parents did so well ? They are a family.

Maga: always plumbing ever deeper depths.

They seem to always need something that is none of their business to bitch aboue family t.
If Jill Biden and the family consider her Mom it's none of their fucking business.
I tossed Katy under the media's bus in 2015 when she said on air,
"The Trump supporters I met are some of the COOLEST people I know!"
Oh FFS!! There is absolutely NOTHING that these assholes won’t bitch about. And their hypocrisy over guns and everything else is epic. God I hate them!
We knew nothing will satisfy them no matter what happened.
Smdh! She raised him from a very young age & he IS her son. He’s lucky she feels this way
These assholes need to just STFU! I am so very tired of all the bullshit!
okey donkey, so the boys lost their mother, and Jill became their step- mom—an the only maternal presence in their lives. maybe she even adopted them. she’s their mother-in- fact.

Sounds like an offal vacation, JR. Sorry.
I have thought for a while now, that if tRump makes it back into the WH, a certain space would become The Offal Office.
Terse and spot-on = brilliant 👏🏼
I wouldn't be able to do it.
Bring some brass knuckles, bloody maga teeth look good on the floor.
😂😂
😆😆😆
* bringing lotsa
Don't 'should' on yourself. Give yourself permission to leave if you feel like it.
Do not speak politics. Get the hell outta there if they do. They need to keep their private parts to themselves. (hehehe)
it will be impossible to avoid at times. i pick and choose when to engage plus I’ve promised my MIL I’d stay outta the fray. It’s pointless to press them on any MAGA-related talking point because there is nothing I can say to change their mind.
That doesn’t sound like a vacation!! Would it be rude to bring ear plugs? Good luck!

Don’t forget some koolade(sp?)
You will need a double portion.
Oh jeez! Sounds more like “taking out the stinky garbage”chore than a vacay. Poor thing.
Got a gun you can visibly strap on? I fucking would.
Hell! Walk in with a 12 gauge!
slung over your shoulder.

I would be outgunned heavily

His eyes usually are so glassy he looks like he’s about to cry or has been crying.
I always think they look red-rimmed too. I think assumption that he’s on coke comes from how hyper he seems and how fast he talks, plus of course, his hare-brained thoughts.
Jeff’s term for LDFF,Jr.—- Cokey McSniffles
I agree Ann!
He should get a fine and probation. If that happens, the two Jimmies heads will explode in unison.
That would be something to see! 🤣🤣
Think "Scanners".
"pretzel their heads up their butts"! Too funny Ann.
So well described I can visualize this
I’m so glad we are now safe from Hunter Biden.
That last tropical storm was my gigantic sigh of relief!
He's certainly lost my vote!
I tweeted that if Hunter's last name was Smith, MAGAts would be screaming for justice for him instead of jail
Trumpocrite Republicans are ALWAYS the problem. FUCKING ALWAYS
Always
Do what the law commands unless it’s one of us -GOP. The gaslights last gleaming.
'The gaslights last gleaming' for the win!♥
Excellent Kay-El!
😆😆

Mark Robinson is a case study, is he not? He belongs in an insane asylum but so should the rest of them. I’d like to see that happen.
And that hair?! Wtf..is it sprayed on and a bad toupee together? Whatever it is it ain’t working bro. 🤦🏻♀️
He was rejected from hair club for men.
🤣.
Can we reject him permanently from the political system please.
😂😂
I’d forgotten about Eichman too for the moment. Goebbels, Nosferatu, Eichmann, Miller. Any more Doppelgängers to add?
If you look at pics, they are frightfully similar. Others have said Goebbels but I don’t think so.
A pox on parts that don’t show preferably.
Hell, they can show!
I think of Heidrich.
Gym-sexual abuse enabler-Jordan.

Hypocrisy is their truest form of bullshit. On every single issue in this country.
Neither Leo Durocher nor Casey Stengel could devise adequate profanities to convey my own thoughts. Thanks for doing your part to fill in the gap, JT.
Maybe Leo Durocher, Casey Stengel, Vince Lombardi, and Jeff in a barbershop bleep bleep bleep quartet?
I’m gonna have to knock Lombardi off the list. I just never liked the guy. Maybe Lewis Black.
Kathleen, I'd buy that album. HAHAHAH!!!
Don't forget Earl Weaver.
True
Republicans, you can’t have it both ways!
Oh, wait. You DO have it both ways: with guns with the 2-tiered justice system, with control over our bodies, with the Supreme Court and their payoffs, etc., etc.,etc. every fucking day.
Fuck straight off.
