I chose not to write about the fuckface who sprayed some noxious liquid on Ilhan Omar. try as I might, there's just no humor to be mined from that fuckery

Unity In Defiance's avatar

What I think was amazing out of that fuckery was that Omar was ready to square up and put a whooping on that guy!!

And she said, “I’m ok. I’ve been to war, that was nothing.”

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I know, right? and for that, I *almost* made her today's Hero of the Day

Steve in SoCal's avatar

I sent her a $25 campaign contribution instead

Jean Jacoby's avatar

I didn't know much about her before, but wow, a real class act.

Kristy Kanen's avatar

And she's so beautiful, as well.

Angie Longenecker's avatar

And she didn’t need an army of plastic surgeons touching her up daily.

Jan Moon's avatar

She is so cool and unflappable under pressure. Guess that guy will think twice before trying a piss prank again.

Chris Hierholzer's avatar

Too bad she didn't have time to use that can of Whoop Ass that she keeps in her purse.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

I loved that. She was like, You wanna fuck with me, bitch? Bring it, motherfucker.

Babe Paley's avatar

I would agree with you, and am glad it seemed to just ("just") get on her top...but, BUT--I'm assuming at this point it was the dude's pee (not saying that's okay) based on people who saw and smelled it, and that the guy was seen in the bathroom beforehand (bragging about how he's white). So I guess the only humor I can take from it is imagining that guy (who appeared drunk-ish at minimum) trying to get a bunch of his drunk pee into a syringe. So that's pretty funny.

And of course, it's totally awesome that Omar showed no fear. She shouldn't have to be in that position (put there by the president and his people), but I am proud of her.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Ilhan Omar spent the first 12 or so years of her life in Mogadishu. She has seen and endured much more than being sprayed with pee by a racist asshole.

arne link's avatar

OMG! Can someone please make a video of that? It would be hilarious. Did you see his booking photo. The guy was obviously stoned out of his mind. I suppose that will be his defense. Sigh.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

Amber colored per media, so he either was dehydrated or just rotting from the inside out

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Too bad she wasn’t legally packing heat to blow that fuck to kingdom come

HI2thDoc's avatar

Haha, "Stand yer ground" in action!

George in Atlanta's avatar

Oh, it was *white* pee! That's ok, then, white pee is far less noxious than anybody else's.

Bob Bowden's avatar

So let’s go back to something that *IS* humorous: Sundowning Orange Shitler / IQ47 wearing a single glove on his rotting hand. Yes, Michael Jackson wore it better, but then again so did OJ

Richard Von Busack's avatar

It doesn't fit, but we can't acquit!

Bob Bowden's avatar

Neither can a jury reviewing facts, which is why he can never allow his cases to reach trial. When they do, he’s found Guilty

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Like Trump’s dick — EVERYTHING is too big for it

Bob Bowden's avatar

He even has a grudge with paper straws

Jane's avatar

When I read “who wore it better?” about the glove, I was cracking up!😆

Kay-El's avatar

The only humor to be found is that asshat is in jail - ha, ha, ha

For the bonus match, Alex, I choose the category "US Presidents who died in prison."

Linda Laz's avatar

Thank you for covering the events of the month—what, you say it was only a day??—OMG!

Nevertheless, thank you for your reporting. Ah…someone who sees it the same as me. It was a real crackup that Nosferatu is blaming the Noem botox murder doll and vice versa. You bring light to my day, Jeff!

steve robertshaw's avatar

Wow, something just clicked for me when you described the Noem botox murder doll. She looks like a possible prototype for whatever sort of humanoid sex doll someone is probably working on right now at some secret lab somewhere in Asia.

DuduLovesBubu's avatar

The Noem botox murder sex doll. It will put a death squeeze on your johnson that doesn't end until you bleed out. Hey, what a great way to get rid of some MAGAS!

Yarnartist's avatar

Megan? She looks like Megan. I think it was Steven Colbert who did a comedy bit with Megan as Krusty. I haven’t been able to un-see it, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s how Krusty really dances.

Molly Blue Dawn's avatar

Um, I think you'll that you have accidentally posted a photo of Erika Kirk.

steve robertshaw's avatar

I got more of a Lyin' Leavitt vibe from that one

George in Atlanta's avatar

Yeah, I can see that. I know! Pokemon - Mara Lago Look Edition! Collect 'em all!

Megan Ross's avatar

I loved it when after being attacked by the guy, Omar stood tall and said "We will continue. These mother fuckers are not going to get away with it." Kudos to Omar! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Could there be a clear example of stochastic violence, with Donnie the perpetrator? He has spent weeks, months, demonizing her, calling her "garbage" and lying about her while she has behaved with dignity and grace.

Stephen Brady's avatar

I agree 100%! Thank you for the belly laughs today! Much appreciated!

George in Atlanta's avatar

That's where some crack investigative journalism would come in. Let's find out everything there is to know about Fuckface McSpraybottle and get it up on the wrap-screen at Times Square. There is certainly some hilarity to be had. His former job and former employer. His former wife. Friends to come forward and drawl, "whah, hay-ell, ol' Bobby-Ray wuz always a good ol' boy... but he did change a bit after that meth incident."

George in Atlanta's avatar

Addendum to the Fuckface files: his momma reported that he's got depression and Parkinson's Disease. She assert's that he's a 'good guy' and 'very sensitive'.

My dad, who died years ago, had depression and Parkinson's Disease. It never occurred to him to spray piss on a sitting congresswoman. Maybe it's because old Pops wasn't all that sensitive.

Molly Blue Dawn's avatar

I was so impressed by her courage and determination, stepping forward to confront the criminal instead of running to safety. It was also apparent that she is very well loved and respected in her constituency, where people actually know who she is and what she does for their community.

Meanwhile, how many Republican "Representatives" are afraid to even hold Town Halls, because they know that their constituents are disappointed and angry with them?

Abigail Norling's avatar

The only thing vaguely humorous about it (and only because she is okay) is the orange king's total projection as he admits that his miracle ear "assassination attempt" was a total fake!

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

yeah, this one's all over the map. but as the Dude says, 'we're dealing with a lot of shit here.'

Michael Johnson's avatar

Yes. We are.

ICE must be abolished. Perhaps reinvented at some point, but this organization exists as this admin's private army, with voter suppression as its ultimate goal.

The murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti must be held accountable, along with noem and bovino - and especially s. miller. Until that time, we will continue to go further into fascism, the tyrannical, authoritarian nightmare. If and when sanity returns, I feel 100% certain there will be Nuremberg style tribunals for all these mad fuckers. We cannot rest in our resistance until that accountability happens.

US Blues's avatar

There’s no need for this bullshit “Homeland Security” dept that was made up by Bush W to spy on Americans. That dept has always been and is now the very Orwellian opposite of its title.

steve robertshaw's avatar

At the very least it was always an extra layer of bureaucracy with the ever present excessive government spending that always involves.

Keith's avatar

we cannot ever rest in our resistance. the evil ways of fascism are embedded in MAGA.

it will continue to fester coming to incite for many years(?) decades (?).

all the while elevating the diktator into martyrdom upon his awaited death.

a festering cancer!

arne link's avatar

When he is lying in state, will we be able to get near enough to piss on the casket? I doubt that it will be open due to his state of decay.

Cathy McCarthy's avatar

or the smell that will defy all embalming fluid. When my drunkard uncle died. His ally buddies threw beer caps into his open coffin. He was a veteran so they did a ceremony. A couple of them keeled over.

He and my father were identical twins, and I mean IDENTICAL! He never bothered telling that to his buddies. So when they came to the funeral home and were greeted by my father, one of them barfed, a couple more passed out. His kids and us just stood on the sidelines taking bets on who would buy it. Even the priest lost his shit.

arne link's avatar

OMG! That is a story for the ages. Thanks for sharing this family treasure.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

I for one ain’t goin’ anywhere near that mess.

Steve in SoCal's avatar

It would be a waste of good piss

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Before advocating “reinventing” ICE later, ponder that Tom CRO MAGNON Homan was a creation in the Obama Administration’s Dr. Frankenstein laboratory

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

today in "Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—

on CNN, ICE Barbie doubled down on her insistence that she was only following orders.

https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mdieilmlxs2u

"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

Kay-El's avatar

“Everything I’ve done at the request of President Stephen” I fixed that for her.

kdsherpa's avatar

Don't matter, honey. Even though we all know that Nosferatu told you to do it.

As Google says pithily: As Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem is required to adhere to strict federal ethics guidelines, including the DHS Memorandum on Ethical Behavior, which mandates honesty, integrity, and avoidance of conflicts of interest. She is also subject to the Hatch Act, prohibiting the use of government resources for partisan political purposes.

Sorry, honey.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

Yeah this is latest reporting I saw…

New reporting on how the propaganda went down.

The man behind the “massacre” Evil Stephen Nosferatu Miller:

• The officers directly involved in the shooting "all shut up and got lawyers real quick so there wasn't a lot of information," one of the sources briefed on the statement said.

• Under Miller's direction, DHS officials began assembling a statement based on information from other officers on scene who noted that Pretti had a firearm.

• "Stephen heard'gun' and knew what the narrative would be: Pretti came to 'massacre' cops," a source briefed on the process of assembling the press statement said.

Richard Von Busack's avatar

By the way, what happened to the severed finger? Did a dog eat it?

Will's avatar

Hopefully this foreshadows the back-and-forth that occurs around the time of Nuremberg Trials 2.0.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

Judgement At Nuremberg aired on TCM yesterday afternoon. I thought that was an interesting choice, given current events

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Good film focusing on the later trials. The recent "Nuremberg" -- which was criminally overlooked in the Oscar nominations -- is about the first trial of the Nazi high command.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

Holocaust remembrance day😢

Lin Talbot-Koehl's avatar

Yes, I watched it - for about the ELEVENTY-MILLIONTH TIME. It's THAT IMPORTANT. Interestingly, it was followed by the 2021 documentary "Filmmakers for the Prosecution" - which showed how investigators PAINSTAKINGLY DUG UP VIDEO EVIDENCE PROVING THE GUILT OF THOSE ON TRIAL.

In the *MID-1940s*.

Today, we have VIDEO EVIDENCE against these shitclowns - ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WHITE HOUSE - proving their GUILT, THEIR LIES, & THEIR COVER-UPS - literally COMING OUT OF OUR ASSES. Nobody has to PAINSTAKINGLY DIG IT UP....it's literally ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR EVERYONE TO SEE, EVERY DAMNED DAY.

I've said it HERE before, & I'll KEEP saying it:

The people who PUBLICLY MURDERED RENEE GOOD & ALEX PRETTI need to be CHARGED W/ MURDER....& EVERYONE in the "food chain" - STRAIGHT UP TO #Bumblefuck - need to be CHARGED AS ACCESSORIES TO MURDER....for ALLOWING , LYING ABOUT, & COVERING UP THE PERPETRATION OF THESE COLD-BLOODED MURDERS!

Arrest Noem. Shave her head. Tar and feather Miller’s pate with her locks. Put them in cages!

I like the way you think.

evidence for future trials

Mingo's avatar

So now it's confirmed that Ice Barbie does not possess critical thinking skills. That's a good little girl, now go and do as you're told. Jeff, you're right that she's the fucking head of DHS and outranks a deputy chief of staff. Chatty Ice Barbie, just pull her string and watch her talk.

Lauralite's avatar

Nuremberg, the new vowel. "Nuremberg every one of them".

Jean Jacoby's avatar

"I was just following orders," Said almost every Nazi at the Nuremberg trials, and of course Adolph Eichmann, when he was tracked down in Argentina.

Oooooh! The girls are fighting!

Doesn't Cory make any demands of her? Just askin'.

Eileen's avatar

Noem is trying to drag S. Miller into the firing squad gravel pit with her.

Don’t you just love our government? Every day, important matters are handled by the HVAC repair man screaming that the manicurist told him to do it.

Stephen Brady's avatar

That worked well at Nuremberg…

Alison Parker's avatar

I would actually love to see Noem and Miller go at it in a ring, because she would probably kick the shit out of him, which would be glorious, but he would also probably manage to yank out some of her hair extensions and knock her fillers out of place, which would also be glorious. Lose-lose for them is a win-win for us!

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

totally agree. there's no way Miller isn't a complete coward

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Just like his boss. Most bullies usually are.

Annabelle's avatar

I'll bet he screams like a little girl

Lisa K. Obrien's avatar

My 5 yr old granddaughter has a battle shriek that’ll make your blood run cold. Nah, Miller squeals like a frightened guinea pig.

Annabelle's avatar

Ive never heard a guinea pig squeal, but I'll take your word for it. I guarantee whatever he sounds like, definitely doesn't sound "manly"! LMFAO!

Lise Buranen's avatar

He'd probably send his wife.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

IIRC, he was so freaked out by the mean chalk writings on the sidewalk at his home that he sold his house and moved away. Real tough alpha male, right there.

Harold Miller's avatar

I just have to say; Rep. Ilhan Omar is a bad-ass!

If you watch the video, she doesn’t back down.

In fact she goes after the guy!

That moron is lucky that her security grabbed him, cause Omar was gonna kick his ass!

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

She is a badass! Yet, nothing stopped her from delivering her speech. She displayed such resolve, such courage. My heroine!!

Susan Niemann's avatar

I saw some video of that guy before she started speaking..and he looked hammered.

SethTriggs's avatar

Even with Bovino gone they can rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic all they like. But it's always going to be doomed to go awfully because the whole predicate for the attack is bad. The racism is "the reason for the season" here; Minnesota is being attacked because there's a lot of Somali-American immigrants here (who are of course Black people).

A large portion of the 77 million voting for the pricktator wanted the ethnic and racial cleansing he promised, and that's what this operation is in support of. One should also connect this with the hideous attack against Rep. Ilhan Omar by a stochastic terrorist. So no matter who they replace, the operating principle will remain the same. It's not about immigration; it's about terrorizing the racial and ethnic minorities that the unreconstructed hate.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

The abject silence of so-called, alleged “men of faith” and faux Christians is the crushing, demoralizing, debilitating part. We knew all of these grifting fucks getting paid by our tax dollars were evil incarnate 10+ years ago.

But the U.S. Catholic bishops and all of these Protestant Christo-Fascist antichrists sitting still and silent is what rots the lining of my stomach.

We heard Dietrich Bonhoeffer 70+ years ago on silence and it still pervades those commissioned to preach the gospel.

And I still wear my shirt that says: “JESUS IS COMING AND BOY IS HE PISSED.”

Easterncedar's avatar

What a curiously uplifting post. Things are awful and grim and there's no clear escape from all this fuckery, but the way the gas(bag) is blowing back in their faces, figuratively and otherwise, is a respite. Pointing and laughing helps. Also, too, I just read that people are slapping wet newspapers onto the windshields of gestapo cars. Hell to scrape off in a Minnesota winter.

Through my tears and near death causing despair, I still hope because we have some real heroes leading the way to bringing down the demon cabal. Let it be soon and let it be fast.

Shitler's Brown Shirt invasion of Italy during the Olympics stinks of a Steven Miller wetdream. Right out of "Mein Kampf." The Olympics Committee should ban the U.S. entirely from the winter games.

Jeff,

"The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be."

— Martin Luther King Jr.

Life Survival: On Choosing Your Extremism

King wrote this from Birmingham jail knowing moderates were more dangerous than the Klan because moderates demanded patience while people died. Right now you're watching federal agents murder citizens, climate agreements crumble, and institutions bend. The middle ground is gone—destroyed by people who think "both sides" is a viable position when one side is actively killing people. So the question isn't whether to be extreme. You're already living in extremity. The question is what kind. Will you be extremely patient while democracy dies, or extremely committed to defending it? Extremely polite while trans kids lose healthcare, or extremely loud about protecting them? Extremely reasonable while the planet burns, or extremely determined to save it? The moderates will call you radical either way. Might as well earn it by doing something that matters.
