Ms Spouse used to proofread these things before I posted them — and if she laughed out loud, I knew that I'd done my job. now it just feels like I'm flying blind. ugh, it's just one more reminder of what I've lost.
You talk about Ms. Spouse all you want, for as long as you want, because it keeps her spirit alive for you and your readers. I’d actually love to hear more unless it causes you too much pain.
Please don't. Through your writing about her, I had a connection to Ms. Spouse; your writing makes me laugh aloud about this ghastly current timeline--and your tales of Ms. Spouse were (and should remain) part of the brightness. You are experiencing an unbelievably terrible loss....But her memory is a blessing.
Jeff, Claudia was part of your life for 40+ years. Your grief is palpable, normal and understandable. The 40some years that you spent together are a testament to your deep love and affection. There’s no timeline when it comes to grieving the loss of a loved one. Take it one day at a time and let your mind relive the beautiful moments that you spent together.
Jeff is the hockey player who gets two teeth knocked out, bleeds onto the ice, goes into the locker for stitches for five minutes, and comes back onto the ice to score two sharp goals and an assist
Jeff, you don't ever have to shut up about Ms Spouse's passing or the many ways she enriched your life. Many of us here have experienced loss. Claudia died so suddenly and unexpectedly that it's going to take time to even begin to incorporate that into your emotional being. We are totally here for you!
Dear Jeff, never shut up. We’re so glad you’re back, and we never want to forget Ms Spouse. Keep her name and spirit alive always. My heart lifts when I see you in my inbox.
Please know that as I read your post each day, I wonder how you have the strength to get up and compose in your grief. I hope you know that this community you have created cares deeply for you and sympathizes with your loss.
Talk on about Ms Spouse as much as you want brother. We won’t tire of it. But we can guarantee that you make us laugh daily and it is appreciated more than you can know!
JFC bc of course. Wonder if Epstein was the one that taught him how to boof?
It’d be a wonderful world if we could shove all these rapists, pedos, sick fucks and billionaires into Bezo’s stupid cock rocket and shoot them on a one way trip to space.
Only if there was a way that it would be guaranteed that they would land a planet populated by cannibals and that their landing made sure that we had delayed being invaded by them for another million years.
That movie deserved much more attention than it received. Maybe it will have a resurgence now that we are living what the movie satirized. So much stupid with so much power.
Jeffry, 😂 Excellent suggestion. Perhaps we spray them in the faces with bear spray and close the door on the rocket-ship. They should experience everything ICE did to innocent people!
Well, you would have to shoot two of them as a start and it would be nice to have those chucklenuts bear sprayed so they could have the full 1/6 DC cop experience.
F*ck all those people who gave Kavanaugh a pass to the Supreme Court. Apart from the grifters and misogynists, everybody else knew he was a drunk and a rapist. What is it about the GOP enabling and elevating wholly unqualified pervs to public office? I'm thinking Roy Moore, Clarence Thomas, Cory Mills, Matt Gaetz…
Notice a pattern here? Dems are embarrassed enough to step down for the good of the party and/or the country. Reps deny the evidence and go on the attack.
And let's not forget how Al Franken threw himself on his sword for making a (gasp!) tasteless joke - as a comedian and resigned from the Senate. Grounds for resignation? Nope.
Which Dem presidential candidate got kicked out because his wife was an alcoholic, but Betty Ford has a rehab named after her? Can't remember, but still.
Objection, yer honor! It is grossly unfair that the Gentlelady is permitted such vulgarities but I, being the male paragon that I am, am constrained from such by social convention and Leftist Cancellation Practice!
But, well-done nonetheless. Your kung-fu is superior.
Just to let you know, I spit my coffee all over my phone laughing at the old man growing out of the rock! Lol! I laugh out loud every morning because of you, Jeff! Thank you so much!💗
I want to just start using the word rather than the silliness surrounding it all. The U.S. says cutsie little things: "See You Next Tuesday" and "Starts with C and rhymes with punt". The best we can do is puns and just calling, e.g., Pam Bondi the "C" that she so clearly is. Men can be C's too btw. We've all either known one or married him. Somehow calling a man a dickhead just doesn't it justice.
I want to go full Monty with the word but it appears too few care what I want. Sad.
But I like your typo and misogyny does indeed run deep.
I remember watching those hearings and thinking oh my god, this drunken idiot is toast! No way they’ll confirm this guy to the Supreme Court! Little did we know how appalling everything was soon to become.
I was listening to Kavenaugh's vetting responses on my car radio and had to pull over to control the impulse to projectile vomit when he started blubbering like Kyle Rittenhouse about being persecuted. His unfitness to sit on the bench was firmly established then and there. But the slide continued.
Thomas appointment began my wrath at SCOTUS, with Biden acting as head of the judicial committee…the whole Anita Hill testimony was equally painful to witness Mz!
And unfortunately, we also have three branches of government, which in a Venn diagram, fit into one perfect circle. So there’s not a fucking thing anyone can do about it.
Last night AOC spoke at the Technical University of Berlin to an audience of over 1000 students and some other people too. She was a hit. She was coming off of the Munich Security Conference were European politicians were eager to talk with her, because after hearing Marco Rubio she and others were a breath of fresh USA air.
Here is a piece I did on her conversation at the TU, which includes a video of her talking. I know that many Germans would like to see her as our next President, so would many Americans too.
AOC is giving us some Happy Presidents Day Stuff and she ends up saying that Pam Bondi should resign or be impeached. I am all for either one. She also makes a clear connection to the Pedo ring and the Power brokers in Trump's circle.
I love AOC but we cannot, CANNOT run another woman. We all know how that goes. It ain't right but it's a fact. I do not want to see this outstanding woman sacrificed for nothing.
Everyone remember that Susan Collins was instrumental in getting kavanaugh onto the court. She is up for reelection in Maine. She also voted for the SAVE act. Mainiacs remember. Hopefully enough.
According to the Guardian piece, Epstein was emailing during the hearing about Kavanaugh with Kenneth Starr. JE criticized Kavanaugh’s defense team and suggested questions they should have asked Christine Blasey Ford.
Kavanaugh had worked with Kenneth Starr on prosecutions of Bill Clinton. Starr and Epstein were close friends. Venn diagram, for sure.
OMG The Smut and the Corrupt. BFF: Best friends forever. I’m sure when the guy now in the black robes heard about the demise of his BFF he shed some of those crocodile tears he’s famous for.
To be clear, from the article: “There is no evidence in the files that Kavanaugh knew or met Epstein.”
Epstein was messaging other people - including Ken Starr (ew) - about the confirmation hearings and sympathized with Kavanaugh, because gross. But there is no direct link between the two.
Yes, Kavanaugh worked for Starr on the Bill Clinton investigation, and later Starr represented Epstein. I just wanted to correct the notion that Epstein was communicating directly with Kavanaugh.
There are loads of reasons I think Kavanaugh has no business being on SCOTUS, but direct ties to Epstein isn’t one of them, and we should always be careful about sticking to the facts.
Every day brings a new revelation about who Epstein's tentacles touched, whether it was financially or via his island of trafficking and pedophilia, or via espionage and international manipulations. At this point, it looks as if dozens of influential men on at least two continents had ties to him.
Chuck Schumer is rapidly becoming the new Susan. Collins. Pretty soon he’ll be telling us that he believes Trump has learned his lesson. Hey Chuck, the last thing we need is a new fucking Susan Collins. We still haven’t kicked the old one to the curb.
I'm old and these fossils need to go. Chuck "Strongly Worded Memo" Schumer and the rest of them who imagine we are still fighting "Republicans" We are fighting Fascists
AOC , Frost ,Omar and anybody willing to call out Goosestepping Nazi's when they see them
What gripes me is that for every one of Chuck's "common sense" remarks and strongly worded memos, there are a thousand Dem apologists defending him on these various forums. All one has to do is say the Dems are falling short somewhere, and the "How DARE you!"s rain down. Not a good sign.
Dying on the hill of "common sense" is no way to win a war against fascists. Schumer thinks he's entitled to entrench himself in the Senate until, like Feinstein, he keels over. I'm with David Hogg -- primary these relics O.U.T.
Thank you Stephanie. Schumer is a fool and blithering ass-kisser. Floating in his own universe. He is so conciliatory he feels like a traitor. And that smarmy smile. Someone please pull him off the stage.
Dems are losing support among previously loyal voters… true to form, they are clueless and cling to the geezers and appeasers
Your heirs will post pictures of them on the world wide web asking if anyone knows the provenance or purpose of these second skin-looking items, and the overwhelming response will be that they are the souls you stole and hid some time before the industrial revolution.
Me too, but I'm that one weirdo who liked them. Wearing heels with bare feet is just plain uncomfortable, and ugly, IMO. Even as a stripper, I opted for boots so I could wear socks on my feet. Judging by what my co-workers' beleaguered tootsies looked like, I'm pretty sure I made the right choice. 😝
My mother used to make catnip toys for my cats (her "grand kitties") out of old hosiery. I don't think she realized how perfect that was --- catnip + old foot smell = kitty ecstasy 😻
Yes. I know because recently I was shopping for socks, and ran across the pantyhose display aisle. I do not own any, though. Can't remember the last time I wore a dress.....
So it’s interesting to see Newsom & AOC types proceeding as if it’s business as usual as far as 2026/28… unless they really don’t have many options. Interesting af…
I don't see them doing the business as usual thing. Some are, for sure. Schumer - don't even get me started. They have to follow the law or we get back into the "how" part. I'm for a new "how".
It might not be Jesus who is being baptized by Trump. 1) The guy is not blond. 2) He is wearing a t-shirt with what I see as a faded camouflage pattern.
No wonder Trump’s suits look so rumpled if he wears them into rivers!
Anyway, it has taken our attention from Trump’s deeds in real life.
LOL, that's fine, but I'm still just enjoying the image of Jesus holding T under the water. That'll keep me going all day. Well, maybe with a "cofefe" whatever or whomever that is.
There is no East Wing anymore, so there is no Modernization Project. There is a plan to put what looks like an airplane hangar, inexplicably plastered with faux gold, next to the White House. It's an abomination, which is not surprising, considering the source of the plan. If this project must go through--forced upon us without our consent, which is also not surprising from this source--it needs to be reduced to a quarter of the current design, as we have no need to park Boeing 777s in there; the rest of the devastated area should be turned into a a beautiful garden in memory of the Rose Garden that the source also destroyed.
The $300 million or so pledged by corporate sycophants will probably vaporize as soon as Trunt dies (and I suspect he will before a spade is turned on that site). I agree with your recommendation to re-build as it was. A "wing" is an adjunct structure, not the primary building as Fuckface envisions.
The dopes in the white house are saying "50,000 dollars" because Pam Bondi started to say fifty thousand Dol--then caught herself and shouted, "I don't know why you're laughing," or some such crap.
HFS that’s Liz Truss - the former British Prime Minister who crashed the UK economy faster than a rotting lettuce - sucking up to Trump in the photo. If he takes any tips off her you’re all in deep 💩
When will voters learn? Conservatives suck at economics, foreign policy, domestic policy, everything. Dumbassed ideologues whose philosophy never works in the real world.
They are experts, though, at whipping up conservative’s fear. Those fearful voters will then employ magical thinking to believe everything will be better…as long as their fear (of people of color, a language other than English, women having the same rights as men, etc) is assuaged.
Since crashing our economy she's gone full on nutcase. Touring the US, trying to get on maga shows. This is what she's aiming at, total fangirling - he probably thinks she's a carer.
Epstein has reached into Canada. Conrad Black is apparently in the Files. Or I mean...maybe it's Britain. Because Conrad had a big mad and renounced his citizenship and fucked off. And we all cheered.
Tiny observation on Donald's appearance. Noticed a little while ago he had a(nother) facelift, and that he seemed to be slimming down. Ozempic, I thought, or somethinglikethat. Well, today I'm thinking maybe it isn't Ozempic.
He's pulling his facial skin up with tape. He wears a girdle under his suits, and shoe lifts. He has his suits padded at the shoulder and around the back and neck to make him look like he's standing up straight. The spray tan covers his age spots.
I would bet he's on some GLP-1 and I'm hoping that drug will work so well that he just disappears completely. Biodegrade in every sense of the word, which shouldn't be hard since he is degraded already.
One of the side effects? There is no information either on the long term effects of peptide use. There a quite a few overweight people where I work all on Ozempic or Toujeo for weight loss. After losing all that weight and the GLP-1 is stopped, I would think the weight would come back on if no lifestyle changes are made.
I don't know why I torture myself watching the Sunday morning news shows. I'm yelling at the moderators to ask the common sense follow up questions. But, they just let the lies and fallacies hang there without rebuttal.
Homan defended masking and hiding ICE agents identities because of increased threats and attacks against them. Ummm, maybe address the reason why. Couldn't possibly be because of their blatant disregard of the rule of law. Criminals hide their faces. Ergo sequitur, Mr Homan.
Ms Spouse used to proofread these things before I posted them — and if she laughed out loud, I knew that I'd done my job. now it just feels like I'm flying blind. ugh, it's just one more reminder of what I've lost.
I promise I'll shut up about this eventually
You don’t need to shut up about this ever. There are no rules. There is no time limit.
You talk about Ms. Spouse all you want, for as long as you want, because it keeps her spirit alive for you and your readers. I’d actually love to hear more unless it causes you too much pain.
That's right, Pauline.
Lois is absolutely correct!
Nope
Exactly! We are ALL in this together
What Lois said. We love you.
Stated perfectly, Lois. Thank you.
What they said about what Lois said.
Right on, Lois!
Lois is correct. I too have recently lost my other half and there is nothing linear about it. Keep writing about her. We’re listening.
Truer words were never spoken, Lois. Seriously, I hope Jeff takes this to heart.
Please don't. Through your writing about her, I had a connection to Ms. Spouse; your writing makes me laugh aloud about this ghastly current timeline--and your tales of Ms. Spouse were (and should remain) part of the brightness. You are experiencing an unbelievably terrible loss....But her memory is a blessing.
Beautifully said 👏 ❤️
Please don't. We gotta hope their spirits are somewhere watching over us. Or shaking their heads because we just never learn.
You don't need to, ever. Not if it helps. 💔
Never shut up about Ms. Spouse. We loved hearing of her and we miss her stories. Hugs, friend.
You don't ever have to shut up about losing her. Full stop.
Don’t you dare! There is no time limit. You do what you want, when you want. And hell, if you need time off, take it. We’ll all be waiting patiently.
As a member of this sorry club for almost a year, no you won’t and no you can’t, and no you shouldn’t. 💔
What she said.
Maybe we can record our laughter and send it to you! believe me, we are laughing out loud!
Ohmygoodness, wouldn’t that be marvelous? 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Keep talking. Those good memories help.
I like that you talk about her. It keeps her close to us.
Never
You do not need to shut up. There is no time line for grief, especially the complicated grief from the traumatic event you went through.
It’s too soon, Brother.
Jeff, Claudia was part of your life for 40+ years. Your grief is palpable, normal and understandable. The 40some years that you spent together are a testament to your deep love and affection. There’s no timeline when it comes to grieving the loss of a loved one. Take it one day at a time and let your mind relive the beautiful moments that you spent together.
No problemo. It's fine.
Please talk about Ms. Spouse as much as you like.
I'm sorry for your loss, but I can assure you that you haven't lost your edge.
I think Ms Spouse’s spirit is with us and is actually sharpening Jeff’s edge even more.
Jeff is the hockey player who gets two teeth knocked out, bleeds onto the ice, goes into the locker for stitches for five minutes, and comes back onto the ice to score two sharp goals and an assist
Well played.
She is definitely looking over his shoulder!
I laugh out loud.
Projectile stupidity. Laughed out loud!
Projectile stupidity is brilliant! I think I’ll use it. Notice how all the people in the AI SLOP are white? I’m sure Jesus is proud.
You’re grieving, dear Jeff. We’re all here for you. If sharing it with us helps ease the pain, I’m grateful to be of assistance.
I can only imagine the profound sense of loss. We continue to send all the loving energy your way and that it may be of some small comfort.
And can anyone please tell me why, with all the ill gotten gains Dumpy has, that he STILL cannot color match his hand makeup? Eeeyuck.
Please continue to take gentle care of yourself. You are so appreciated.
His facial make-up has improved, though. Not that I care. The only makeup that I want to see is what the undertaker applies
Bravo, arne!
😉😉
baby shit brown seems appropriate
Yes!
I agree with you 100%!
We can't replace Ms Spouse, but please rest assured you make your readers laugh out loud every single day. Take good care, Jeff.
💯
Jeff, you don't ever have to shut up about Ms Spouse's passing or the many ways she enriched your life. Many of us here have experienced loss. Claudia died so suddenly and unexpectedly that it's going to take time to even begin to incorporate that into your emotional being. We are totally here for you!
Dear Jeff, never shut up. We’re so glad you’re back, and we never want to forget Ms Spouse. Keep her name and spirit alive always. My heart lifts when I see you in my inbox.
So many things we take for granted pop up after they are gone. I am sorry, Jeff.
Please know that as I read your post each day, I wonder how you have the strength to get up and compose in your grief. I hope you know that this community you have created cares deeply for you and sympathizes with your loss.
❤️💔🫂
Three good chuckles, a guffaw and a snort ..... I'd say well done today !! :-)
Still thinking of you; each moment is a reminder - as one hopes, a reminder of the gloriousness of what you had together.
As others have said, there is no time limit; keep remembering, keep reminding yourself - all the more necessary in these bizarro times.
Talk on about Ms Spouse as much as you want brother. We won’t tire of it. But we can guarantee that you make us laugh daily and it is appreciated more than you can know!
It’s so very hard right now. I lost my first husband while I was 5 months pregnant
It’s been years
But it does get better ❤️🩹
Oh, God, Jeff. You have to take care of yourself. I hope you have kids and friends to help you. We will be here. 💕👹
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/16/jeffrey-epstein-brett-kavanaugh-supreme-court
apparently Jeffrey Epstein was emailing with Blackout Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
my god, it's like the Venn diagram of 'evil fuckwads' and 'people who knew Epstein' is just one perfect circle
JFC bc of course. Wonder if Epstein was the one that taught him how to boof?
It’d be a wonderful world if we could shove all these rapists, pedos, sick fucks and billionaires into Bezo’s stupid cock rocket and shoot them on a one way trip to space.
Only if there was a way that it would be guaranteed that they would land a planet populated by cannibals and that their landing made sure that we had delayed being invaded by them for another million years.
The movie “Don’t Look Up” is starting to look more and more like a documentary… only thing missing is an asteroid and the Epstein files…
That movie deserved much more attention than it received. Maybe it will have a resurgence now that we are living what the movie satirized. So much stupid with so much power.
Jeffry, 😂 Excellent suggestion. Perhaps we spray them in the faces with bear spray and close the door on the rocket-ship. They should experience everything ICE did to innocent people!
Well, you would have to shoot two of them as a start and it would be nice to have those chucklenuts bear sprayed so they could have the full 1/6 DC cop experience.
Shoot 9 for 2026 alone. Then add in 2025 numbers. All for it.
They'd get food poisoning and say "if that's what they've got, we don't want any more" and stay away.
Oh what happy thoughts!!
If the Kavanaugh stop meant pick up dudes that look like pedophiles and adjacents we’d hear some real whining.
Stop teasing us.
Unity, Something for us to make happen and bring joy to the U.S & international allies! 😄👍🏼
Or, shove them into muskrat’s SpaceX rocket, rendezvous with his cherry red Tesla that he jettisoned into space, and drive to Mars🤓🖖🏻
＼(￣▽￣)／
Perfect!
Hear fucking hear!!! Great idea. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
F*ck all those people who gave Kavanaugh a pass to the Supreme Court. Apart from the grifters and misogynists, everybody else knew he was a drunk and a rapist. What is it about the GOP enabling and elevating wholly unqualified pervs to public office? I'm thinking Roy Moore, Clarence Thomas, Cory Mills, Matt Gaetz…
I’m old enough to remember when being a drunk rapist disqualified you from managing a Dairy Queen.
Right? Gary Hart’s presidential campaign was torpedoed by a photo of him on a sailboat with a woman who wasn’t his wife.
And they made Al Franken resign for a picture of him PRETENDING to feel up a woman, back when he was a comedian.
Notice a pattern here? Dems are embarrassed enough to step down for the good of the party and/or the country. Reps deny the evidence and go on the attack.
He should not have caved. That was stupid.
You beat me to it.
And let's not forget how Al Franken threw himself on his sword for making a (gasp!) tasteless joke - as a comedian and resigned from the Senate. Grounds for resignation? Nope.
Which Dem presidential candidate got kicked out because his wife was an alcoholic, but Betty Ford has a rehab named after her? Can't remember, but still.
Ed Muskie
Misogyny runs deep in this cuntry (oops, a typo).
Especially in the Offal Orifice (not a typo).
Objection, yer honor! It is grossly unfair that the Gentlelady is permitted such vulgarities but I, being the male paragon that I am, am constrained from such by social convention and Leftist Cancellation Practice!
But, well-done nonetheless. Your kung-fu is superior.
Oh, BS, George in Atlanta. You have my permission to let it fly. As long as we can add this one:
"Yer Honor, he needed killin'" as a serious legal defense.
Go for it, George. Come on over to the dark side.
Why, thank you. I'll reserve it for a special occasion.
Just to let you know, I spit my coffee all over my phone laughing at the old man growing out of the rock! Lol! I laugh out loud every morning because of you, Jeff! Thank you so much!💗
LOL!!!!
I want to just start using the word rather than the silliness surrounding it all. The U.S. says cutsie little things: "See You Next Tuesday" and "Starts with C and rhymes with punt". The best we can do is puns and just calling, e.g., Pam Bondi the "C" that she so clearly is. Men can be C's too btw. We've all either known one or married him.

Thomas appointment began my wrath at SCOTUS, with Biden acting as head of the judicial committee…the whole Anita Hill testimony was equally painful to witness Mz!
Oh yes, I remember that well. I still hold a grudge against Ol’ Handsome Joe for that clusterfuck.
Don't forget Leslie Wexner. His name is all over buildings here in Columbus. But that is going to change in the VERY near future.
Colour me unsurprised Charles, they’re probably waiting for him to be measured for the dirt nap though…
11 Democrats voted to confirm Clarence Thomas,seems Congress has a long history of not believing women.
Fascists do rotten things…always.
Toss the Federalist Society members in there as well Suzanne…
What the repugs heard when Anita Hill and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford spoke at the confirmation hearings: ‘blah, blah, blah, blah’.🤬🤬🤬🤬
I’m thinkin’ unqualified pervs are the only choice they’ve got. It’s a big class.
The repugs
They could promise servitude to dear leader, but fear not he is still the stupidest, clueless pedo of all.
“If the Dow was $50,000, you could put it in a bag and give it to Homan.” 👏👏👏
Right? I loved that one too!
He wouldn’t say, “No.”
Homan is a modern day Nazi - simple as that.
And unfortunately, we also have three branches of government, which in a Venn diagram, fit into one perfect circle. So there’s not a fucking thing anyone can do about it.
Let me fix that for you: "...which in a Venn diagram, fit into one perfect circle 𝕛𝕖𝕣𝕜."
Touché Dana!
I’m sure epstein is the one that made frat boy brett’s debts disappear…
That makes a lot of sense.
I was thinking Leo Leonard
Wasn't Brett Kavanaugh accused of rape ? Did he visit Epstein 's island before or after?
Yes I think he was. Who could ever forget that insane round of Confirmation Hearing Follies? “I LIKE BEER!!”
Yes, he was, by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
I KNEW the SC was involved. There's more of them, too. Alito and Thomas, and then Keebler Elf Mike Johnson of the House are up next.
Mike Johnson may have been too busy on Grindr to be involved but who knows.
Only thing about the unreleased Epstein files that bothers me is that the really good/bad ones have prolly been disappeared.
Of course.
Last night AOC spoke at the Technical University of Berlin to an audience of over 1000 students and some other people too. She was a hit. She was coming off of the Munich Security Conference were European politicians were eager to talk with her, because after hearing Marco Rubio she and others were a breath of fresh USA air.
Here is a piece I did on her conversation at the TU, which includes a video of her talking. I know that many Germans would like to see her as our next President, so would many Americans too.

AOC is giving us some Happy Presidents Day Stuff and she ends up saying that Pam Bondi should resign or be impeached. I am all for either one. She also makes a clear connection to the Pedo ring and the Power brokers in Trump's circle.
I love AOC but we cannot, CANNOT run another woman. We all know how that goes. It ain't right but it's a fact. I do not want to see this outstanding woman sacrificed for nothing.
Amen! Two intelligent qualified women losing to the stupidest candidate ever shows you how much misogyny is in the US
Everyone remember that Susan Collins was instrumental in getting kavanaugh onto the court. She is up for reelection in Maine. She also voted for the SAVE act. Mainiacs remember. Hopefully enough.
I was wondering when old KavaNO would show up in the files. All of his other beer chugging, rapey fratbros are in there.
'Things that don't surprise me' for $500 Alex.
According to the Guardian piece, Epstein was emailing during the hearing about Kavanaugh with Kenneth Starr. JE criticized Kavanaugh’s defense team and suggested questions they should have asked Christine Blasey Ford.

Every day brings a new revelation about who Epstein's tentacles touched, whether it was financially or via his island of trafficking and pedophilia, or via espionage and international manipulations. At this point, it looks as if dozens of influential men on at least two continents had ties to him.
Happy Presidents’ Day to all the presidents that don’t rape kids.
The ones that do can fuck off to eternal hellfire
Chuck Schumer is rapidly becoming the new Susan. Collins. Pretty soon he’ll be telling us that he believes Trump has learned his lesson. Hey Chuck, the last thing we need is a new fucking Susan Collins. We still haven’t kicked the old one to the curb.
I'm old and these fossils need to go. Chuck "Strongly Worded Memo" Schumer and the rest of them who imagine we are still fighting "Republicans" We are fighting Fascists
AOC , Frost ,Omar and anybody willing to call out Goosestepping Nazi's when they see them
What gripes me is that for every one of Chuck's "common sense" remarks and strongly worded memos, there are a thousand Dem apologists defending him on these various forums. All one has to do is say the Dems are falling short somewhere, and the "How DARE you!"s rain down. Not a good sign.
Dying on the hill of "common sense" is no way to win a war against fascists. Schumer thinks he's entitled to entrench himself in the Senate until, like Feinstein, he keels over. I'm with David Hogg -- primary these relics O.U.T.
Time to "chuck" Schumer, and in the meantime, I'm going to send him a string of pearls to clutch.
1975?? Old Chuck was probably in favor of pardoning Nixon.
He might have been , but Tricky Dick was gone August 9, 1974
Thank you Stephanie. Schumer is a fool and blithering ass-kisser. Floating in his own universe. He is so conciliatory he feels like a traitor. And that smarmy smile. Someone please pull him off the stage.
Dems are losing support among previously loyal voters… true to form, they are clueless and cling to the geezers and appeasers
My thoughts exactly.
Apropos of nothing, at my first job in the securities industry, when the Dow broke 1200, the whole room stood up and clapped.
For context, they were all wearing ties and I was wearing pantyhose so that should give you an idea of how long ago it was.
😆 I’m old enough to remember pantyhose.
Me, too. Never. Ever. Again.
I hate those fucking strangulation devices!
A comedian once said, "If men want to know what wearing pantyhose is like, they should wear a condom for 12 hours."
I see a new marketing strategy here. Not "Leggs", but "Neckks"
I'm pretty sure I still have a few pairs in a box in the attic. I wonder where they'll end up after I'm gone?🚮
Your heirs will post pictures of them on the world wide web asking if anyone knows the provenance or purpose of these second skin-looking items, and the overwhelming response will be that they are the souls you stole and hid some time before the industrial revolution.
🤣🤣🤣
We used to braid the (laundered) ones with runs in them for tug-of-war toys for the dogs. Anyway, it's an idea!!
They were a revolutionary improvement over “stockings” and garters!!
God yes!!!!
Me too, but I'm that one weirdo who liked them. Wearing heels with bare feet is just plain uncomfortable, and ugly, IMO. Even as a stripper, I opted for boots so I could wear socks on my feet. Judging by what my co-workers' beleaguered tootsies looked like, I'm pretty sure I made the right choice. 😝
I remember wearing heels.
I'm with you -- I wear tights a LOT as well as longer skirts. None of my coworkers have seen my bare legs. 😱
Now you are bragging! 😂
Damn straight. No qualms, no regrets, some of the best years of my life, still have friends from the dayz. Booyah!!
😘
They're great for storing onions and fruit if you can find them at the store.
I think I may still have a pair or two in their little plastic eggs rolling around in an old dresser drawer somewhere.
My mother used to make catnip toys for my cats (her "grand kitties") out of old hosiery. I don't think she realized how perfect that was --- catnip + old foot smell = kitty ecstasy 😻
Cut into strips, they can tie plants to a stick in the garden 🪴👹
You can also use them for chemicals, like pH, ammonia neutralizers in a pond. Cut and tie the ends.
😆
Me, too, MzNicky; and I remember well my liberation day from pantyhose hell!
I remember those little eggs...damn you marketing wienies!!
Oh, I'm old enough to remember UnderAlls. 😂
Were you or any of your coworkers sent home to change clothes because they showed up with bare legs? LOL
I remember the hoopla for breaking 1000. omg - need room for another digit!
Like the Y2K problem -- whaddya mean years have 4 digits?
I remember betting that it could not hit 1000.
Can you even buy pantyhose anymore?
Criminals still find them somewhere...
🤣
Grandpa insists silk pantyhose and 3 chocolate bars still work for Grandma.
Yes. I know because recently I was shopping for socks, and ran across the pantyhose display aisle. I do not own any, though. Can't remember the last time I wore a dress.....
Yes
Were you treated somewhat respectfully in that stereotypically patriarchal career?
A little of this, a little of that. It's never been easy for men to condescend to me, I can outsnark anyone lol.
Snark is a priceless gift!!
Let’s see the dollar vs $dow because the buck has stopped has dropped to the Costa Rica Colone!
Now the women wear ties and some men wear pantyhose
Pantyhose is good for circulation! Like compression socks
Trump is running this country exactly the way Putin runs Russia.
They do whatever they want, however they want to, then lie about it.
Exactly like Putin.
It makes me sick to my stomach that good people with power haven’t stopped this yet.
- @cupatee.bsky.social
That'll be us. NOBODY is coming to save us.
Yeah. ‘Controlled Opposition’ it’s called… I think :/
He’s running this country for Putin.
Putin is the Chairman of the Rethuglican party.
Can't say this enough. Too bad too many aren't listening.
We wonder why “good people with power” have stood along the sidelines and mumbled, at best. What IS going on?!?
Far less outrage from the ppl I thought would ‘care’…?
It's just in the "how", Sunny.
So it’s interesting to see Newsom & AOC types proceeding as if it’s business as usual as far as 2026/28… unless they really don’t have many options. Interesting af…
I don't see them doing the business as usual thing. Some are, for sure. Schumer - don't even get me started. They have to follow the law or we get back into the "how" part. I'm for a new "how".
I'm surprised they didn't make one of Jesus handing him the Nobel.
Um, I'm not expert but isn't that picture blasphemous?
It might not be Jesus who is being baptized by Trump. 1) The guy is not blond. 2) He is wearing a t-shirt with what I see as a faded camouflage pattern.
No wonder Trump’s suits look so rumpled if he wears them into rivers!
Anyway, it has taken our attention from Trump’s deeds in real life.
I think so
Yes.
It's evangelical jerkoff material, which is bound to turn on Mike Johnson.
😆
It's almost a guarantee that is out there somewhere🤪
As always, great post. The picture is, what can I say. Jesus should be holding T under the water- with a shark approaching!
You had me at "...holding T under the water....". That was good enough for me. lol.
With batteries!
LOL, that's fine, but I'm still just enjoying the image of Jesus holding T under the water. That'll keep me going all day. Well, maybe with a "cofefe" whatever or whomever that is.
...pulling an elecric battery-powered boat.
😂
Here's an opportunity to comment on Trump's demolition of the White House that Jeff's readers may be interested in:
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has opened public comments on the proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition to the White House.
Written comments are due March 4 at Noon ET.
Leave a comment: https://savingplaces.org/public-comment-period-white-house-ballroom?utm_medium=email&utm_source=update
The White House is a National Historic Landmark and National Park, owned by the American people and stewarded by the National Park Service.
Public input should occur before construction makes the outcome irreversible.
As National Trust President and CEO Carol Quillen has stated: “The American people deserve an opportunity to provide comment and shape the project.”
Commissioners need to hear directly from the public.
Thank you for that link. My comment:
There is no East Wing anymore, so there is no Modernization Project. There is a plan to put what looks like an airplane hangar, inexplicably plastered with faux gold, next to the White House. It's an abomination, which is not surprising, considering the source of the plan. If this project must go through--forced upon us without our consent, which is also not surprising from this source--it needs to be reduced to a quarter of the current design, as we have no need to park Boeing 777s in there; the rest of the devastated area should be turned into a a beautiful garden in memory of the Rose Garden that the source also destroyed.
Donny should be forced to rebuild the East Wing exactly as it was and pay for it his own self.
The $300 million or so pledged by corporate sycophants will probably vaporize as soon as Trunt dies (and I suspect he will before a spade is turned on that site). I agree with your recommendation to re-build as it was. A "wing" is an adjunct structure, not the primary building as Fuckface envisions.
I heard a report that the $400 million is gone,if it ever existed at all.
That is what I keep saying!!! Sick of his stupid posturing.
Sent my comment.
Shitwit, Nitwit, Fuckwit
A regime of the most unfit
To their great elation
They're destroying our nation
While being happy and proud of it
Babbling Idiot Cult.
Doc to the rescue! Saving our sanity with poetry /limericks!
Sorry that this one wasn’t humorous or calling anyone an obscene name
The dopes in the white house are saying "50,000 dollars" because Pam Bondi started to say fifty thousand Dol--then caught herself and shouted, "I don't know why you're laughing," or some such crap.
Good lord. I still haven't dared to watch that gong show yet, I'm afraid whatever device I used to torture myself with it won't survive the adventure.
The bit KP Johnson refers to is worth it. She said something like You’re quite the stock trader, Raskin, after he started to laugh.
Donald J. Trump & Co...The Quicker Fuckeruppers! Cue the hail of paper towels...
T💩p paper towels -- now more self-absorbent than ever!
LOL!!!
😂😂😂
Ask any puerto rican!
HFS that’s Liz Truss - the former British Prime Minister who crashed the UK economy faster than a rotting lettuce - sucking up to Trump in the photo. If he takes any tips off her you’re all in deep 💩
When will voters learn? Conservatives suck at economics, foreign policy, domestic policy, everything. Dumbassed ideologues whose philosophy never works in the real world.
That "philosophy" works very well in the real world ... for THEM.
They are experts, though, at whipping up conservative’s fear. Those fearful voters will then employ magical thinking to believe everything will be better…as long as their fear (of people of color, a language other than English, women having the same rights as men, etc) is assuaged.
Crikey! I thought it was her. WTH is Liz doing at MAL? And Why?
Since crashing our economy she's gone full on nutcase. Touring the US, trying to get on maga shows. This is what she's aiming at, total fangirling - he probably thinks she's a carer.
Yuck. 🤢 Pathetic.
Maybe she's attending the annual rat races
Yep, it is!!!
Epstein has reached into Canada. Conrad Black is apparently in the Files. Or I mean...maybe it's Britain. Because Conrad had a big mad and renounced his citizenship and fucked off. And we all cheered.
Of course Conrad Black is in the files- because..of course. The fragrant "Lady" Barbara was probably besties with Maxwell as well.
Tiny observation on Donald's appearance. Noticed a little while ago he had a(nother) facelift, and that he seemed to be slimming down. Ozempic, I thought, or somethinglikethat. Well, today I'm thinking maybe it isn't Ozempic.
He's pulling his facial skin up with tape. He wears a girdle under his suits, and shoe lifts. He has his suits padded at the shoulder and around the back and neck to make him look like he's standing up straight. The spray tan covers his age spots.
Then we see him in his golf attire.
He was watching the Super Bowl in a suit,who does that?? I barely put on pants for my get-together.
I would bet he's on some GLP-1 and I'm hoping that drug will work so well that he just disappears completely. Biodegrade in every sense of the word, which shouldn't be hard since he is degraded already.
IMHO he has something terminal and that it causing the weight loss. Congestive heart failure, renal failure, cancer, anything like that would do it.
Brain plague.
Whatever it is, bring it on.
Hope the bowel obstruction gods are listening if he's on Ozempic or any of those drugs.
'oooo oooo that smell...oooo oooo that smell....the smell of death surrounds you'
Lynyrd Skynyrd
One of the side effects? There is no information either on the long term effects of peptide use. There a quite a few overweight people where I work all on Ozempic or Toujeo for weight loss. After losing all that weight and the GLP-1 is stopped, I would think the weight would come back on if no lifestyle changes are made.
I hope you are right. Please, Lord hear our prayer.
Noticed that too.
I don't know why I torture myself watching the Sunday morning news shows. I'm yelling at the moderators to ask the common sense follow up questions. But, they just let the lies and fallacies hang there without rebuttal.
Homan defended masking and hiding ICE agents identities because of increased threats and attacks against them. Ummm, maybe address the reason why. Couldn't possibly be because of their blatant disregard of the rule of law. Criminals hide their faces. Ergo sequitur, Mr Homan.
I wish he would hide his. Maybe in a chip bag?
