Back in 1995 I was working as a Circuit Administrator in South Dakota - rural, God's country, etc. - and after the Oklahoma City Bombing all the usual guys were hanging out at the courthouse, talking about it. One of the "militia" types said that the government had it coming, and "War has been declared". When I asked what about the kids in the day care, etc., he looked at me and explained, very seriously, "War has been declared. There are no innocent victims."

Our "well-regulated militia" has been wanting to shoot United States citizens with impunity for almost 30 years. They can taste the blood.

I hope Rittenhouse turns up in a ditch with his little balls stuffed in his mouth.

But I will have to take solace in knowing that he will never have a job, nor will he be able to get the time of day from anyone once his fifteen minutes run out.

When the British tabloids take notice of you, you know you've arrived. 😉😘

Couldn’t read the Rittenhose redux. His name alone makes me throw up in my mouth. It’s disgusting that Neely will know no Justice.

He'll end up in prison eventually. People with his mindset usually do. He thinks because he got away with it once with huge support from RWNJs, he can do pretty much what he wants. That's a mistake he's probably too stupid to avoid. Of course, I could be totally wrong. Maybe he'll live the test of his life within the confines of the law. What am I saying? His Mommy never taught him it's wrong to point a gun at a person, pull the trigger, and kill another human being just because you don't like people different to you. Why do people live with such hatred and anger in their hearts? Hard way to go through life.

Which brings us to the current state of affairs where assholes are shooting kids who accidentally ring the wrong doorbell or pull into the wrong driveway in some dark rural neighborhood.

That Daily Mail photograph of you is certainly something. I'm impressed.

Next time I’m in London, I’m bragging that I subscribe to Jeff Tiedrich’s substack! Glad they picked up on you.

yep, confirmed again the biggest reason I'm here is we despise the same things and the same despicable people who do them. This pathetic boy-who-will-never-be-a-man and will eventually wind up abandoned by this bunch when a new mush of everything dumb shows up and does something else heinous the MAGA base loves is likely to just look like an old, sagging, beer-gutted, neck-bearded, overall wearing schlub out protesting with their misspelled signs and a life that amounted to nothing more than he murdered someone and thinks that was okay. They can sit around on barrels talking about the "old days." Glad we won't have to see it.

Wouldn’t it be fun if it turned out Kyle was trans?

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the Cheeto Jesus’ deposition in the E. Jean trial. Her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, asked him about his comments on the Access Hollywood tape: He didn’t repudiate it, he said pussy grabbing is a historical fact, that for “a million years,” stars could get away with assaulting women. Kaplan asked him if he was a star and OF COURSE he is! He went on to say that he wouldn’t have raped E. Jean because she wasn’t his *type,* despite looking at a photograph of her and mistaking her for Marla Maples. (Maybe they should’ve shown him a picture of her vajayjay since that’s the only part he’s interested in.)

He went on to say that Kaplan wasn’t his type either. Since she’s a lesbian, his insult didn’t land. Since she’s not a fucking asshole, HE wouldn’t be HER type. But he went on and things went from worse to ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?! First he said that E. Jean WANTED to be raped, that she said it was *sexy*. As most intelligent people know, rape is an act of domination and violence, not sex. Ask the dozens of other women who have accused him of assault if they think being fucked without their consent is sexy. Just a guess, but they’d probably say no. (Full disclosure: I was raped in college, a thousand years ago. And it wasn’t sexy.)

If I had written a script of the worst things C. Jesus could say during a deposition, I couldn’t have created a better script to fuck him up. I don’t always get what I want, but the deposition is an early Mother’s Day present.

You think it’s easy to be a superhero and a victim at the same time? But C. Jesus can do it. Probably because he has a big brain.

Note: I’ll choose a backofeifengesicht later today because I know you’re waiting with bated breath (look it up) and tingling with anticipation to see whose face needs a punch.

Apparently former child star Ricky Schroeder also bankrolled Kyle Rittenhouse to pay for his legal bills and bail him out. He is clearly White Supremacist Ricky Schroeder, whose name should properly be spelled Ricky Schröder.

In any case, I spit on any of his movies that I watched in high school, when I was not thinking whether the people in the movies I saw were White Supremies, as I call them at home much to my teenage daughter's annoyance. I call this behavior out as often as Ron DeSatan incorrectly uses WOKE, and get tired of saying the full word, but it is just ick to her. According to the book, Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America by Professor Kathleen Belew, a must read for anyone who wants to truly understand what is going on politically, this letting White Supremacists off is nothing unusual or new. Look at the US history of lynchings. Look at every cop that killed someone Black, or Latinx, or Native American, or Asian or White. They get off. Our cops have the least and worst training of the wealthy world, and it shows. Others focus on deescalation tactics, ours on weapons training. All over the USA people can "defend" their turf. My mom felt that Kyle should not be tried as an adult because in Germany, where she comes from, kids don't get tried as an adult. I felt he should be put into a psychiatric treatment program for the criminally insane. In other words, as long as he is into guns and filled with racist hatred, he needs treatment. I am grateful that some other White Supremies are not being let off so easily. The more our justice department makes White Supremacist like The Proud Boys, actions and incitement of actions against women, LGBTQ+, and so called "non-White" punishable by arrest, trial and if indicted prison time, the less appealing it will be. Then people like Kyle will be anti-heros. I think that he should be class action sued by the decent citizens of Wisconsin for threatening their well being. All of the people harmed by him should take him to civil court and sue him for every penny he will ever possibly earn.

The Daily Mail article has some CRAZY comments! Jeff...some of them say your outspoken wokeness comes from your long hair. Is this true? LMFAO! I also have been thinking what I consider "normal people thoughts" about the insane gun totin' lunatics but I may need to cut my hair before I can accept that my own theories are rational. I love this one... The following whiner turns the term "keyboard warriors" into an excuse for a haircut and to all yous whose hair touches your collar...YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL!

" I hate hippies like this guy. Back when they first popped up in Pittsburgh in the early 1970s when i lived there I would grab them by their long-hair and explain to them that they are not welcome in Pittsburgh. As they looked into my eyes they knew they were dealing with a man who didn't play. Most of the time they would slink off to the nearest barbershop and get a George Jones flat-top. Some of the time they just headed to Canada. That's what cowardly traitors do. They go to Canada. When I am appointed by President Trump as ambassador to Canada I will detain as many as I can find. They are coming back to America. The long-haired traitors will be sent to Leavenworth where they will be formally inducted into the military and simultaneously sentenced to life with hard labor. Does that work for you long-haired cowards? Go to hell!!!" ........ I wonder if he owns a barber shop.

One thing the article didn't mention were views and likes from the counter arguements because there were none.

Rittenhouse is so unimportant I barely remember the name.

When millions of people live inside a cult of ignorance and gullibility this is what happens. Should the inmates that are running the red state asylums (Legislatures) across the country actually figure out how to steal the presidency and then Congress random shootings of people that disagree with them will rise dramatically increase. Stealing elections is the only hope of the right-wing extremists to gain and maintain power and to restore their dictator Donny to the presidency to rule, not govern, until death or he appoints his successor.
