I realized after this was already finished that I kind of buried the lede, which is: why is a possible Russian asset the White House chief of staff? oh well, too late to pull the post apart and re-work it
The point wasn't lost, Wiles could well be a ringleader hiding in plain sight as a mild spoken one...& a woman at that! A perfect disguise that should have been questioned more. Whenever sewer clowns use a reasonable tone it's suspicious. It absolutely fits with Sporky & others playing dumb as political strategy & avoiding personal accountability, along with the obvious moves to just straight up seize assets & control in an apocalyptic game of world domination. What a fucked up time-line to be in when we humans have such magnificent things to be doing, not being held hostage in shitty games.
AND isn't she 'supposed to be' goebbels'miller's Boss? He's only supposed to be the 'deputy' to her full-on Chief. So exactly how does THAT work with his vomiting out all of HIS vile spew lo these many years? Isn't she supposed to ride herd on her underlings? Aren't THEY supposed to report to her? Does this mean she approves of every one of his actions/pronouncements OR is he acting on HER orders? The plot dos certainly thicken - because I noticed that HIS name was omitted from her dissection of the others. Was that deliberate? I first thought: ooooh, she's pissed that miller has exceeed his 'authority'. Now? I'm befuddled and bewildered by exactly WHAT in the FUCK their kowtowing to her means?
She is a political guru here in FL, and part of why we are in such bad shape. She has got some of the worst politicians here elected, and it is worth mentioning she was on DeathSantis' abortion of a political campaign for president, only DeathSantis' Disney-princess cosplaying wife, decided Susie wasn't loyal enough, (didn't kiss Casey's ass) and that she could run his campaign better because he was "told by God" to run.
MTG is not voting on the discharge petition for a stand alone bill to extend the healthcare credits after all the talk about her poor consitituents premiums going up either.
I think most people don't realize. I'm always reading, but I have friends that are smart, but don't search the internet for news. They are not really informed about the details behind every news story.
When you work full time you don’t have time to follow this sh*t… def not knocking hard working Americans worried abt their healthcare. THIS DIY NEWS ENVIRONMENT IS A FK’N FULL- TIME JOB - ‼️
I'm a born&bred United States Citizen and *I* don't get it!
Isn't Russia The Enemy? Like, The Evil Empire and all that shit Reagan spewed out of his own senile piehole? And isn't Vladimir Putin like a former high-up in the KGB?
I looked him up for a novel I'm writing (which I'm serializing on my own Substack - https://drdarkeny.substack.com/p/model-behavior-a-kinky-kills-novel ): He was heading up the KGB's First Chief Directorate in Dresden during the waning days of the Cold War. While he didn't get to see the Berlin Wall fall personally, he saw crowds of angry Germans trying to storm Stasi HQ in Dresden, and went out to tell them if they didn't disperse he'd ordered the guards to shoot them—which he didn't have the authority to do without confirming orders from Moscow! Of course, they didn't know that so he got away with it....
How quickly the American Right turned into Russia's biggest buddies astonishes and worries me. Is it just Right Wingers' love of so-called "tough guys", or is there more to it than that?
It was not buried too deep. I guess we still have 2 days before the war starts. It is hard to believe that Trump thinks war is like playing a video game. Can we please give him some consequences?
What worked for Bush may not work for Trump. This whole lie-us-into-war stuff was awful with Bush, and will be no better under Trump. What is he doing shooting people in boats in the South Pacific.
George H.W. Bush could at least claim to be a War Hero (you know, those people Trump call "suckers" and "losers"?)—even Shrub (allegedly) served in the Texas Air Guard, mostly so they'd let him fly airplanes like Daddy got to. (No, I don't Miss Him Yet in the slightest!)
Aren't those Venezuelan boats in the South Atlantic? Venezuela has no direct water route to the Pacific that I can see—
My idea of a hero is not George HW Bush at all! Liar is more like it.
I see that these people are saying Pacific, so on the other side of the continent. They are saying Eastern Pacific, but this is still Southern East Pacific. Here is the discussion of hitting 3 boats in the Pacific. So, maybe they came from Colombia.
Plus he is poking the Chinese bear. So, where is that going to lead? Will we be engaging in military conflict in both the South Pacific and the South Atlantic. Is this a southern strategy? In any case, it is not safe for our military to have such a leader in Trump or Hegseth.
Iʻm wondering if the regime thinks if it huffs and puffs and sends military to threaten Venezuela that there will be popular uprising against Maduro? Thatʻs his goal. I hope the Venezuelans donʻt play into his hands.
I find it highly disconcerting that they gave a Nobel prize to the trump loving opposition leader in VZ. The woman is not wrapped too tight, she has said she is going to give her prize to Donnie boy who really deserves it.
"It is hard to believe that Trump thinks war is like playing a video game. Can we please give him some consequences?"
I think it's more he's so desperate for that file of him giving Slick Willie (or whoever "Bubba" is really supposed to be!) a hummer to Just Go Away that he'll do anything he can to prevent it. If even THIS Joint Chiefs didn't have some plan not to let him launch nukes, he'd probably go for that—but attacking Venezuela for its oil (I mean, DRUGS! Of course, drugs!)? That's a fine way to stage a Short, Victorious War, yes?

My list of supervillains are Anthony Comstock (who used "Interstate Transport of Obscene Materials" to crush both female autonomy and gay rights!), Joseph Ignatius Breen (who headed up the Production Code Administration of the Motion Picture Association of America), "Dr." Fredric Wertham (those book about comics leading to juvenile delinquency and "deviant sex" led to the Comics Code), Joe Lie-Berman (for threatening to censor videogames, and causing the industry ratings), and Tipper Gore (who went off her meds and decided censoring the Music Industry was a FINE idea!). The truest evil is Censorship and its attendant hypocrisy.
Oh, and Ratzi the Nazi, who opposed gay rights while covering for Pedo Priests....
Ok Jeff. Brendan Carr literally JUST said he has the right as the FCC chair to control whatever free speech, and whatever BIAS he wants. He has the right to control Parody and Satire accounts.
There's always "Ferkers""Iceholes" and "Bastidges".
Most of whom seem to be in the current admin. . .
Incidentally, one I found in a dictionary of archaic slang - "ferkytoodling." Which I use often -it refers to the activity you enjoy just before a ferk. . .as in "We ferkytoodled for a bit, then went at it like rabbits. . ."
You're very welcome. Archaic slang has some real goodies - although another of my favorites -"cockwombling" is more modern. Cockwombling refers to the habbit men have of self ferkytoodling with their hands in their pockets. . .
Most MAGA are gobmouches, trump obviously is a fustilugs, and Kegsbreath is a gongoozler (someone who stares at boats. . .) Noem is a driggle-draggle, Tuberville is a fopdoodle. Rubio, of course is a mandrake mymmerkin. John not-the-good-one Kennedy always reminds me of a mumblecrust, and Boebert must be a puterelle. Which just leaves Johnson as a wandought.
I could go on but I'm a bit of a scobberlotcher, and you'll have had enough of my whiffle-whaffle. . .
Thank you so much. That made me laugh out loud. I'm still smiling. I'm afraid that if I try to use the word it will come out as "turkeyfoodling". Still laughing.
Simply because the entire Trump campaign and before that the Trump organization has been working hand in hand with Russian oligarchs and by extension Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. My source is Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom.
I've read Tim Snyder's books and glad you mentioned him. Especially The Road to Unfreedom. Heavy intellectual history and analysis. Jeff's substack is a two-edged sword filled with gravitas and inspired levity. How else would get us through the shitstorm of these fascists? Thank you...
She has been involved in politics since Reagan I think. The article seems to have been released strategically probably distraction from the EF, Venezuela, and all the people under fire like Kegger and puppy killer. The timing just seems fishy and the information she vomited too obvious.
I actually believe (and maybe this is just my own made up conspiracy theory) that when the Project 2025 people were setting trump up to run they told him to hire her, and then also told him that she would be his chief of staff and he had no choice but to go along with it. Because they are his bosses. Right? I know - I sound crazy, but I've come by it legitimately.
The plot thickens and just maybe Wiles was given the green light by Pooty to trash Dear leader & colleagues to make way for the next phase. Impeachment of the top of the Executive branch for a hand picked replacement. Conspiracies abound.
These maga-idiots (marge, James Woods, Erick Erickson etc) with a case of the sadz over Cankle's vile comments on Reiner should eat a big bowl of STFU. They've been on board with the cruel words and acts directed at women and non-whites. The Reiner comments are way down the list of disgusting things this fascist has done. A little late to be distancing yourself from him.
First, RIP Rob and Michele Reiner. My heart goes out to your children, including the one you probably worried about the most. It is tragic and beyond unfair.
2nd. Fuck you, Trump.
3rd. Like most republicans they only cry when it affects them directly.
I have come up with a new theory about why Trump made those comments about Rob Reiner. He actually honestly believes it is, or should be, a crime to disagree with him. What he says about a person absolutely depends on whether that person has said nice things about him. He can't bring himself to say something nice about anyone who has even mildly criticized him. He cannot accept that not everyone agrees with his views and that people should be investigated, if not outright jailed, for disagreeing with him. He obviously did not think that should apply to him when he spent 8 years disparaging Obama and 4 years screaming about Biden. I wish one of our erstwhile journalists would ask him about that.
I shall confess that I fell in love with Dick Van Dyke in 1964 and have carried a torch for him ever since (I was about 5 or 6 when I saw Mary Poppins....). For over 60 years, I have fervently hoped he was as good a person as he seemed to be.
I fell in love with him when he appeared on The Dick Van Dyke Show with Mary Tyler Moore. He always reminds me of my dad - tall and thin, kind, with crinkly eyes when he smiles, funny, and seems so sweet! Gentle and kind. I can't imagine him yelling at anyone. He's the best, as was my dad. <3
At one point some idiotic asshole told me James Fucking Woods had a chemical engineering degree, which would have been triply or quadruply insulting to my chosen profession. Thank god the MAGA fuckwad who claimed that was as stupid as James Wood and the rest of them.
“The actor James Woods does not have a chemical engineering degree. He was a brilliant student who attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on a full scholarship, where he majored in political science. “
I consider his comment on the Reiners’ slaying the most vile thing he’s posted. But what he says is one thing. You’re on point that it isn’t what he says; it’s what he does, what he enables and what he doesn’t do. Roy Cohn created another McCarthy.
Trump’s father and Cohn had mob ties that should have prevented his ever getting a gaming license New Jersey. Nevada might have denied him because his hotel in Vegas has no casino. The mob stuff also led Pete Roselle to tell Trump that as long as Roselle and his family had anything to do with the NFL, he’d never get a team.
Yeah well, Miss Susie’s a Wiley shit-connections with Russia. Of course she has. I enjoyed seeing KKKarolines pinholes on her lips from her filler tho. They’re all such trash. Ugh.
Just FYI — They likely had no idea, which makes it funnier.
I was a professional photographer for 20+ years — and for an array of magazines and publications in the DC area — and when you go do a job like that, you get a space and a short amount of time to pose and get what you need with the subject.
You usually are shooting with a long lens like a 70-200 for efficiency, but you might bring one portrait lens or one wide angle lens for group shots.
I guarantee he used the 70-200mm and was standing about 10-12 feet away, but zoomed up close like.
I applaud him because that means he went in with a plan, knowing he wanted to capture them looking as horrible as possible — and he succeeded!
1. The Warmonger in Chief will not be getting his Peace Prize now. I guess this is part of his retribution tour. Headline: Doesn’t get a prize, declares war
2. Some good news: a discharge petition will force a vote on extending ACA subsidies for three years. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Especially since he has a lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Group. I am waiting for him to disclose his tax returns and medical records, they (Pulitzer) have requested to show how he has been "harmed" in his defamation lawsuit.
Stephen King's IT sewer clowns are lethal and so are Trump's. Sloppy mass killers but willing to shed blood for his edification and MAGA's, nonetheless. Every single one of them has caused the death of innocents in some way.
Well one things for damn sure…trumpy is NOT stealth! He definitely wants to be noticed and he thinks he is intelligent…well “bing bing” this buddy-you are pathetic, ignorant, self-absorbed, egotistical, misogynistic……….yada yada yada…..BING BING!
Gavin Newsom opened that spigot (I think it's in or under Mexico; it might have to do with the border tunnels), instead of the Canadian water one, and then trained sharks to carry barrels down to Venezuela. The sharks use stealth invisibility technology. No batteries.
That's my question too. IF we had ever 'owned land and oil fields' - and that's a big 'if' - then Venezuela had every right to reclaim it. Maybe we had legal leases? Even then, they had the right to terminate them. Meanwhile, tRumPutin thinks he has the right to take whatever he wants, anywhere in the world. How is he different than Putin?
Wow, you are correct. Chavez restricted US oil companies access to Venezuela's oil reserves and brought most of the oil under government control. I hadn't thought of that.
They are acting like a crime family that is protecting their turf..or trying to expand it by knocking off rival's Godfather & steal their customer base
Jeff, the most important statement in yet another fantastic piece is, “he’s fucking insane.” He is. And there can be no doubt about it unless you’re a card-carrying cult member or a sniveling spineless sycophant. He is totally, clinically, terminally insane, and we’d better fucking do something about it, because three more years of this shit isn’t survivable.
That's the horrible truth. And still, not one g*ddamn Democratic lawmakers has had the balls to LOOK INTO THE CAMERA and say that this man is clinically insane and is trying to get us into a land war - to distract us from the Epstein garbage and all the other crimes he's committing even as we speak. Because of the cowardice of the United States Congress, are we about to start seeing our young men coming home in coffins?
What do you want the Democrats to do? They lost both houses and the Presidency. They couldn't force ACA extensions. And now everyone will pay more for healthcare. The Republicans don't care because Trump said I can do health care better than Obama so he is getting rid of his signature program. He doesn't care about people. He has no idea what it means to not be able to afford health care.
The Democrats have been saying it loudly and often and guess what? No corporate media thinks it's worth reporting on, or worse yet, they're cowards, afraid of making their orange overlord mad at them.
It absolutely is, and the idiot Democrats have done NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. Schumer should have been ousted months ago, and Jeffries just isn't cutting it. WTF are we supposed to do? Sit and wait for the orange sonofabitch to start the war he DESPERATELY WANTS? So he can broker.a peace deal and get that Nobel? How many dead American soldiers will fall because of this deranged maniac???
I understand the procedural limitations due to the power dynamics in Congress. But there needs to be a strong, coordinated, vociferous, daily resistance under the minority leaderships’ direction to rally every single American to push for regime change. For instance, the critical ACA credits millions of Americans rely on to be able to barely afford our broken system of health care will expire in 2 weeks. They should be holding demonstrations on the Capitol steps every single day calling out the Republicans’ abandonment of their constituents to poverty, destitution, disease, and death. It’s called LEADERSHIP for a reason. They need to lead.
The only thing more insane than his stealth bomber word salad was his 6 minute rant during the Christmas gathering at the White House a couple of nights ago about Viper snakes killing
28,000 !!!! people every year in Peru (in fact there have been 10 deaths in the last 15 fucking years). Obamas WH doctor told him this story about the Obama children wanting to go for a hike when he visited Peru and it turned into the greatest WEAVE in history.
His mind is GONE.
"Our land that Venezuela stole" - what the fuck is he talking about?
He is going downhill and becoming more dangerous every day. 2547 NOW
OMG that hair. I'm 68 (as apparently is Ms. Wiles, why does she look like a really old lady), and only girls about 5 years older than I had the Dick Tracy "Moon Maid" look (you youngsters can look it up). They were generally jerks/mean girls -- Hey, Mrs. Gingrich #3 has that hairstyle also. Now I know that Wiles, Mrs. Gingrich #3, and Trump share hair care tips.
I am 78 again this year. I say women, old or young, should have their hair in a style that flatters their features. Why are we making fun of people who do not conform to the latest trends in hairstyles? There are so many other reasons to ridicule them.
However, I think it’s only fair to notice particular hairstyles serving as an indicator of assholery, or worse. The same for Mar-a-Lago face.
Cheryl, You really nailed it, you do think it’s real? Her wig belonged to her grandmother it has to be, more than 5 years too it came after the ‘beehive’ I would say.
Ms. Wiles, Mrs. Gingrich #3, and Trump must account for over 50% of Acquanet use in the US. I bet Trump's "body man" has a can already available. Mirror also.
Dumb story about dumb people but I used to contract wallpaper hangers so once in a while we’d get a call “what’s happening with that wallpaper YOU put in my bathroom. Well I will be right over one look later, it was Aquanet overspray! That is varnish you know and a mess.
Chris Wipple said that ALL the individuals mentioned as having defects.....already agree....Vance has said he "repeats 'conspiracy theories' but they are true." Ketamine Elon has already taken shots by the regime. And D 'agrees' with Wiles that the interview was unfair. All this shit is another distraction....these guys are proud of what they are. Meanwhile, we aren't getting double tap video, Epstein info or healthcare...but we ARE getting another war
Susie Wiles is a wiley SOB. Whatever Trump does trumps all else in the news. The regime is full of liars who will never be held to account for their duplicity. Meanwhile, WWIII is upon us because of the regime’s incompetence, greed, and hunger for power.
As Trump is expected to give a speech tonight about his accomplishments, each on is not so much an accomplishment but at best a misunderstanding of statistics and, at worst and most likely, a deliberate attempt to undermine the accomplishments of the previous administration.
Alcohol is a drug. Specifically, a central nervous system depressant. So, I agree TL that drumph’s adderall addiction definitely makes up for his non-use of alcohol.
Actually he's put many of them out of business because of the tariffs. Canada refuses now to buy any of our alcohol and we are not exporting nearly what we used to.
There are no funny clown shows. This is definitely not funny, but there are no funny clown shows. Clowns are the most fucking terrifying creatures in the world. And this stupid administration and all these pictures of clowns not diminishing my absolute terror of clowns.
I think the worst experience I had wasn’t with actual clowns, but we were visiting someone and spending the weekend and they showed us to the guestroom. And on three of the four walls there were double shelves all of them with different clown figurines. I just had to say I cannot sleep in here. Is it okay if I sleep on your couch? I don’t think it’s because of the Stephen King book either because I felt this earlier.
In Palm Beach, a dedicated mom & wife was murdered as she opened the door to a 'person' dressed as a Clown with flowers. Marlene Warren was shot.....it took years to determine perpetrater was the paramour of her husband who married her years after murder. And then, there's John Wayne Gacy who ruined the image for clowns for generations. And me...i effing hate Ronald McDonald.
My parents made the gigantic mistake of getting me a front row seat on the Bozo show, which was shown live. I was fine until Bozo approached me to pull me into the center ring for something or other, as he leaned over me to take my hand I started screaming my little 5 year old head off. Until that moment, I had never shown fear - let alone terror - to anything. I am not sure anything else since has made me scream like that!
I have always hated clowns and have only been to one circus, and that was when I was carried out crying hysterically because a clown got in my face and wouldn’t back away even though my mother swatted at him. Another clown pulled him away.
I realized after this was already finished that I kind of buried the lede, which is: why is a possible Russian asset the White House chief of staff? oh well, too late to pull the post apart and re-work it
The point wasn't lost, Wiles could well be a ringleader hiding in plain sight as a mild spoken one...& a woman at that! A perfect disguise that should have been questioned more. Whenever sewer clowns use a reasonable tone it's suspicious. It absolutely fits with Sporky & others playing dumb as political strategy & avoiding personal accountability, along with the obvious moves to just straight up seize assets & control in an apocalyptic game of world domination. What a fucked up time-line to be in when we humans have such magnificent things to be doing, not being held hostage in shitty games.
She definitely doesnʻt fit the physical profile of the typical female Trump staffer.
AND isn't she 'supposed to be' goebbels'miller's Boss? He's only supposed to be the 'deputy' to her full-on Chief. So exactly how does THAT work with his vomiting out all of HIS vile spew lo these many years? Isn't she supposed to ride herd on her underlings? Aren't THEY supposed to report to her? Does this mean she approves of every one of his actions/pronouncements OR is he acting on HER orders? The plot dos certainly thicken - because I noticed that HIS name was omitted from her dissection of the others. Was that deliberate? I first thought: ooooh, she's pissed that miller has exceeed his 'authority'. Now? I'm befuddled and bewildered by exactly WHAT in the FUCK their kowtowing to her means?
They don't respect women on Team Nazi.
She is a political guru here in FL, and part of why we are in such bad shape. She has got some of the worst politicians here elected, and it is worth mentioning she was on DeathSantis' abortion of a political campaign for president, only DeathSantis' Disney-princess cosplaying wife, decided Susie wasn't loyal enough, (didn't kiss Casey's ass) and that she could run his campaign better because he was "told by God" to run.
Which is a telling point, Wahine.
Indeed,she doesn't look like Ivanka.
Within a White House of Russian assets, including the President (Manchurian Candidate), is anyone surprised of Wiles ties?
She's the Angela Landsbury character in the original Manchurian Candidate.
This comment is so true!

Hey! Hi! I'm following you. Good stuff, kudos!
Maybe Susie just has ‘well-connected ruzzian lobbyist’ ties… and MTG is the female John Kennedy (R-La) of fake morons…
Americans are EXTREMELY chill abt both ruzzia AND Murdoch imo… literally don’t get it srry
It infuriates me that people are okay with Putin being our actual president and Fox being our state news media. It's insanity!
And they think that's Murikkka First!
Billionaires are running this shit show Megan, no one said foreign actors couldn’t participate!
Only the stupid ones, most simply aren't paying attention.
And it drives me crazy with impotent anger Megan!🤬🤬🤬
MTG is not voting on the discharge petition for a stand alone bill to extend the healthcare credits after all the talk about her poor consitituents premiums going up either.
JFC.
Plus ‘her kids’ premiums spiked’ out of reach too. Yeah but she’s worth 24M now… 👀 SURELY she can help the kids out…😒🙄
She's a Republican. Don't start spouting Socialist propaganda to HER!
Didn't John the Baptist say "Let him who has two tunics, hold on to them both - you never know if it's going to turn cold in Judea"?
He also purportedly said, all that time standing in the river has made me water-logged
Excellent. That was some funny snark!
Fuck Sporky
Not enough Fireball. On the planet.
Her "sweet district"....
Was wondering. Thanks.
I think most people don't realize. I'm always reading, but I have friends that are smart, but don't search the internet for news. They are not really informed about the details behind every news story.
Thank god for late night TV hosts, especially Jimmy K and Colbert that most likely inform more people than MSM these days.
It was true during Reagan and Bush Jr as well, Comedians tell the hard truths they are like the jesters of yore.
yes ! I remember watching Jon Stewart for " the facts" ...
When you work full time you don’t have time to follow this sh*t… def not knocking hard working Americans worried abt their healthcare. THIS DIY NEWS ENVIRONMENT IS A FK’N FULL- TIME JOB - ‼️

Isn't Russia The Enemy? Like, The Evil Empire and all that shit Reagan spewed out of his own senile piehole? And isn't Vladimir Putin like a former high-up in the KGB?
I looked him up for a novel I'm writing (which I'm serializing on my own Substack - https://drdarkeny.substack.com/p/model-behavior-a-kinky-kills-novel ): He was heading up the KGB's First Chief Directorate in Dresden during the waning days of the Cold War. While he didn't get to see the Berlin Wall fall personally, he saw crowds of angry Germans trying to storm Stasi HQ in Dresden, and went out to tell them if they didn't disperse he'd ordered the guards to shoot them—which he didn't have the authority to do without confirming orders from Moscow! Of course, they didn't know that so he got away with it....
How quickly the American Right turned into Russia's biggest buddies astonishes and worries me. Is it just Right Wingers' love of so-called "tough guys", or is there more to it than that?
Good f’n question :/
It’s the money. Follow the money.
It’s truly fascinating isn’t it Sunny, being armed with knowledge, things might be different!!
It was not buried too deep. I guess we still have 2 days before the war starts. It is hard to believe that Trump thinks war is like playing a video game. Can we please give him some consequences?
He thinks people will stop going on about Epstein and love Trump as a war president.
He is most certainly wrong. When the first body bags come home, he is done. A million people will storm what is left of the White House.
Did you notice how many times the word "oil" was used in his post?
We can hope. We need to be reminded of the women of Iceland making huge change in their country by standing together in 1975.

I see that these people are saying Pacific, so on the other side of the continent. They are saying Eastern Pacific, but this is still Southern East Pacific. Here is the discussion of hitting 3 boats in the Pacific. So, maybe they came from Colombia.

you beat me to it, lol. does he think Venezuela is an island ??
And beside, nobody would be buying the cod piece dump is wearing as he claims mission accomplished.
Plus he is poking the Chinese bear. So, where is that going to lead? Will we be engaging in military conflict in both the South Pacific and the South Atlantic. Is this a southern strategy? In any case, it is not safe for our military to have such a leader in Trump or Hegseth.
Iʻm wondering if the regime thinks if it huffs and puffs and sends military to threaten Venezuela that there will be popular uprising against Maduro? Thatʻs his goal. I hope the Venezuelans donʻt play into his hands.

What a Flake!!
Trump’s a self-fellating chode, his bone spurs con kept him from seeing war up close and personal Linda.. you’re absolutely correct!
Sociopathic, or psychopathic. The symptoms we see overlap the two diagnoses, and who is to say he is not both.
Both, and so much more Linda!
"It is hard to believe that Trump thinks war is like playing a video game. Can we please give him some consequences?"
I think it's more he's so desperate for that file of him giving Slick Willie (or whoever "Bubba" is really supposed to be!) a hummer to Just Go Away that he'll do anything he can to prevent it.

My list of supervillains are Anthony Comstock (who used "Interstate Transport of Obscene Materials" to crush both female autonomy and gay rights!), Joseph Ignatius Breen (who headed up the Production Code Administration of the Motion Picture Association of America), "Dr." Fredric Wertham (those book about comics leading to juvenile delinquency and "deviant sex" led to the Comics Code), Joe Lie-Berman (for threatening to censor videogames, and causing the industry ratings), and Tipper Gore (who went off her meds and decided censoring the Music Industry was a FINE idea!).

Any and all apply here.
Unrelated question: I only just noticed the numbers at the bottom of your posts. What do they signify?
number of consecutive days I have posted / number of total posts since I started this thing
Do you ever give yourself a day off?
not since May of 2023. maybe when I get to a thousand consecutive days, I dunno
Thank you for your attention to this matter. You're the best!
Everyone needs to take time off, Jeff, in order to avoid burnout. Please take care of yourself
I had pretty serious withdrawal that day.
Ahh okay, thanks!
Oh, every time I see Suzy Wiles, I think "Manchurian Candidate!"
I think of "helmet hair" since I saw someone use that description recently.
kind of " 60s with Aquanet ! lol
Ok Jeff. Brendan Carr literally JUST said he has the right as the FCC chair to control whatever free speech, and whatever BIAS he wants. He has the right to control Parody and Satire accounts.

That means they will be coming after me and you, and anyone else who uses the word FUCK creatively to describe the administration.
No probs.
There's always "Ferkers""Iceholes" and "Bastidges".
Most of whom seem to be in the current admin. . .
Incidentally, one I found in a dictionary of archaic slang - "ferkytoodling." Which I use often -it refers to the activity you enjoy just before a ferk. . .as in "We ferkytoodled for a bit, then went at it like rabbits. . ."
Oh, Im USING the shit outta that tomorrow, Lady E.
FerkyToodling.
You're very welcome. Archaic slang has some real goodies - although another of my favorites -"cockwombling" is more modern. Cockwombling refers to the habbit men have of self ferkytoodling with their hands in their pockets. . .
Most MAGA are gobmouches, trump obviously is a fustilugs, and Kegsbreath is a gongoozler (someone who stares at boats. . .) Noem is a driggle-draggle, Tuberville is a fopdoodle. Rubio, of course is a mandrake mymmerkin. John not-the-good-one Kennedy always reminds me of a mumblecrust, and Boebert must be a puterelle. Which just leaves Johnson as a wandought.
I could go on but I'm a bit of a scobberlotcher, and you'll have had enough of my whiffle-whaffle. . .
Added to tomorrow's post at 10am on https://thistleandmoss.com (our publication).
Title: Trump Is Ferkytoodling Because Of His Chief Of Staff Using Her HoozyWaddle
Thank you so much. That made me laugh out loud. I'm still smiling. I'm afraid that if I try to use the word it will come out as "turkeyfoodling". Still laughing.
Only time I've heard of someone worried that if he says the word wrong it will sound not obscene
Well, you wouldn't be TOO far off the mark - remember, "turkey foodling", like "ferkytoodling" is something a lot of people only get once a year. . .
You mean "Fargin' Eyesoles!"?
And "Corksoakers!"?

Simply because the entire Trump campaign and before that the Trump organization has been working hand in hand with Russian oligarchs and by extension Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. My source is Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom.
Read it, if you have a strong stomach.
I've read Tim Snyder's books and glad you mentioned him. Especially The Road to Unfreedom. Heavy intellectual history and analysis. Jeff's substack is a two-edged sword filled with gravitas and inspired levity. How else would get us through the shitstorm of these fascists? Thank you...
Susie is there because Vlad told Donnie to hire her. She ain’t goin nowhere!
Answer: Because Putin wants it that way.
There's always tomorrow!
She has been involved in politics since Reagan I think. The article seems to have been released strategically probably distraction from the EF, Venezuela, and all the people under fire like Kegger and puppy killer. The timing just seems fishy and the information she vomited too obvious.
Michael Sellers Substack would have been a good reference as to what Trump’s psychobabble about land and oil are about:
https://open.substack.com/pub/michaeldsellers/p/trumps-venezuela-blockade-a-deeper?r=qvheo&utm_medium=ios
Well, why not? The “president” could well be a Russian asset. Would he act any differently if he were?
I actually believe (and maybe this is just my own made up conspiracy theory) that when the Project 2025 people were setting trump up to run they told him to hire her, and then also told him that she would be his chief of staff and he had no choice but to go along with it. Because they are his bosses. Right? I know - I sound crazy, but I've come by it legitimately.
The plot thickens and just maybe Wiles was given the green light by Pooty to trash Dear leader & colleagues to make way for the next phase. Impeachment of the top of the Executive branch for a hand picked replacement. Conspiracies abound.
Trump has acted like an alcoholic ever since he’s been drunk with power.
He's reputedly a drug addict…just a different seat on the same Titanic…
Exactly Sher, his cocaine use was well known in younger days, Adderall took its place years ago, as Noel Casler has written about extensively!
Yes. I read Noel a lot....He has really shown a light on who and what we are dealing with. And..Trump has never tried to sue him. Noel has receipts.
Adderall and benzodiazepines I hear.
And Sudafed.
These maga-idiots (marge, James Woods, Erick Erickson etc) with a case of the sadz over Cankle's vile comments on Reiner should eat a big bowl of STFU. They've been on board with the cruel words and acts directed at women and non-whites. The Reiner comments are way down the list of disgusting things this fascist has done. A little late to be distancing yourself from him.
First, RIP Rob and Michele Reiner. My heart goes out to your children, including the one you probably worried about the most. It is tragic and beyond unfair.
2nd. Fuck you, Trump.
3rd. Like most republicans they only cry when it affects them directly.
I have come up with a new theory about why Trump made those comments about Rob Reiner. He actually honestly believes it is, or should be, a crime to disagree with him. What he says about a person absolutely depends on whether that person has said nice things about him. He can't bring himself to say something nice about anyone who has even mildly criticized him. He cannot accept that not everyone agrees with his views and that people should be investigated, if not outright jailed, for disagreeing with him. He obviously did not think that should apply to him when he spent 8 years disparaging Obama and 4 years screaming about Biden. I wish one of our erstwhile journalists would ask him about that.
He does not understand that other people are real. He thinks we are all puppet characters in a show that is all about him.
Or as I heard someone say about somebody else, he thinks we're all just background characters in the movie of his life that plays in his head.
Three excellent points Eva!
Not for nothing did Woods "retire" a few years back. PR-speak for my phone don't ring no mo.
Yeah--contrast Dick Van Dyke, who was hired for an acting gig at (I believe) 98 (!!!!!). A combination of having actual talent and a personality.
Dick Van Dyke was my boss. I worked in post-production sound on Diagnosis Murder. He's exactly what he seems.
I shall confess that I fell in love with Dick Van Dyke in 1964 and have carried a torch for him ever since (I was about 5 or 6 when I saw Mary Poppins....). For over 60 years, I have fervently hoped he was as good a person as he seemed to be.
I fell in love with him when he appeared on The Dick Van Dyke Show with Mary Tyler Moore. He always reminds me of my dad - tall and thin, kind, with crinkly eyes when he smiles, funny, and seems so sweet! Gentle and kind. I can't imagine him yelling at anyone. He's the best, as was my dad. <3
Oh, that's good to hear. So often the public persona is nothing like the private. Of course there is James Woods...
Rob Reiner and Fred Rogers were two others who were exactly the same in person.
At one point some idiotic asshole told me James Fucking Woods had a chemical engineering degree, which would have been triply or quadruply insulting to my chosen profession. Thank god the MAGA fuckwad who claimed that was as stupid as James Wood and the rest of them.
“The actor James Woods does not have a chemical engineering degree. He was a brilliant student who attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on a full scholarship, where he majored in political science. “
I consider his comment on the Reiners’ slaying the most vile thing he’s posted. But what he says is one thing. You’re on point that it isn’t what he says; it’s what he does, what he enables and what he doesn’t do. Roy Cohn created another McCarthy.
Considering Cohn’s work with McCarthy, the espionage death sentence for the Rosenbergs, your point is valid Bob!
Trump’s father and Cohn had mob ties that should have prevented his ever getting a gaming license New Jersey. Nevada might have denied him because his hotel in Vegas has no casino. The mob stuff also led Pete Roselle to tell Trump that as long as Roselle and his family had anything to do with the NFL, he’d never get a team.
He could not get a casino project approved in Sydney, Australia because of his Mafia connections.
In a couple more news cycles - it’s a distant memory…
I literally took a week off and when I turned the news back on I thought I was having a heart attack. I'm still slurring my words.
Bingo
This⬆️
Yeah well, Miss Susie’s a Wiley shit-connections with Russia. Of course she has. I enjoyed seeing KKKarolines pinholes on her lips from her filler tho. They’re all such trash. Ugh.
That Rubio portrait tho
Liddle Marco wears lifts in his clown shoes.
They are donny's cast-offs!
👆That’s the name for his next reality show… ( kinda a twist on Gillian’s Island castaways…)
He definitely does. 😂😂
Hah, on your game Kristy!
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
In black and white, no less.
What’s funny is that is that photographers well known personal style… the unflinching close ups/peering into the soul… and they STILL agreed to it😸😹⁉️
Just FYI — They likely had no idea, which makes it funnier.
I was a professional photographer for 20+ years — and for an array of magazines and publications in the DC area — and when you go do a job like that, you get a space and a short amount of time to pose and get what you need with the subject.
You usually are shooting with a long lens like a 70-200 for efficiency, but you might bring one portrait lens or one wide angle lens for group shots.
I guarantee he used the 70-200mm and was standing about 10-12 feet away, but zoomed up close like.
I applaud him because that means he went in with a plan, knowing he wanted to capture them looking as horrible as possible — and he succeeded!
🤣
Who's the other short, bald guy who's trying to look menacing?
She needs to pick a different shade to hide those tracks. Maybe KKKristi can give her tips.
So that is what that was. 🙃
1. The Warmonger in Chief will not be getting his Peace Prize now. I guess this is part of his retribution tour. Headline: Doesn’t get a prize, declares war
2. Some good news: a discharge petition will force a vote on extending ACA subsidies for three years. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Especially since he has a lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Group. I am waiting for him to disclose his tax returns and medical records, they (Pulitzer) have requested to show how he has been "harmed" in his defamation lawsuit.
Most of Orange Fuckwit’s defamation lawsuits go by the wayside when people don’t capitulate. Discovery is Donny’s worst enemy.
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
He is never getting one, I promise if Hitler gets one first then maybe. Like I said never!
The sewer clown motif is perfect.
Stephen King's IT sewer clowns are lethal and so are Trump's. Sloppy mass killers but willing to shed blood for his edification and MAGA's, nonetheless. Every single one of them has caused the death of innocents in some way.
yeah - a quick glance and it’s ’just a clown’ amirite… GEEZus America
Yes, I was glad to see an early reference to it because I knew it had been around a long time & it is very fitting.
It is very spooky I admit every time I see it I think it’s freaky!
Well one things for damn sure…trumpy is NOT stealth! He definitely wants to be noticed and he thinks he is intelligent…well “bing bing” this buddy-you are pathetic, ignorant, self-absorbed, egotistical, misogynistic……….yada yada yada…..BING BING!
Can someone please explain how OUR OIL got under their land?
THE FUCKING STUPID! IT BURNS...
Gavin Newsom opened that spigot (I think it's in or under Mexico; it might have to do with the border tunnels), instead of the Canadian water one, and then trained sharks to carry barrels down to Venezuela. The sharks use stealth invisibility technology. No batteries.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Wow. That is obviously how it happened.
🤭🤣🤣🤣
Well, that’s better. Now I understand everything. Thanks loads, Joyce. 👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣
Forgot to mention that it was all Biden's plan. That Obama told him.
Right right right right right! That’s what was missing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
I knew it!
That's my question too. IF we had ever 'owned land and oil fields' - and that's a big 'if' - then Venezuela had every right to reclaim it. Maybe we had legal leases? Even then, they had the right to terminate them. Meanwhile, tRumPutin thinks he has the right to take whatever he wants, anywhere in the world. How is he different than Putin?
Wow, you are correct. Chavez restricted US oil companies access to Venezuela's oil reserves and brought most of the oil under government control. I hadn't thought of that.
They are acting like a crime family that is protecting their turf..or trying to expand it by knocking off rival's Godfather & steal their customer base
They ARE a crime family!
Chris somebody had to say it. WTF was he yammering about, he is not the salesman he once was and he’s not even the liar he once was.
This whole freaking thing makes me sad
The incompetence that's to be had!
I can't really take it
Because they can't fake it
WE KNEW IT WOULD BE THIS DAMN BAD!
Those of us with functioning brains knew this was going to happen if TRump was elected again. 😞
Tell me about it.
about 70+ million of us
You don't remember the massive amounts of tears shed after he CHEATED to win the first time ?
Of course I do! I edited it...
Frosty at it again! Well done!
Thank you, Mr. Drell!
Brilliant, once again.
Jeff, the most important statement in yet another fantastic piece is, “he’s fucking insane.” He is. And there can be no doubt about it unless you’re a card-carrying cult member or a sniveling spineless sycophant. He is totally, clinically, terminally insane, and we’d better fucking do something about it, because three more years of this shit isn’t survivable.
That's the horrible truth. And still, not one g*ddamn Democratic lawmakers has had the balls to LOOK INTO THE CAMERA and say that this man is clinically insane and is trying to get us into a land war - to distract us from the Epstein garbage and all the other crimes he's committing even as we speak. Because of the cowardice of the United States Congress, are we about to start seeing our young men coming home in coffins?
The failure of Democratic leadership is part and parcel of this ongoing tragedy that is the failure of the 250 year old American democracy project.
What do you want the Democrats to do? They lost both houses and the Presidency. They couldn't force ACA extensions. And now everyone will pay more for healthcare. The Republicans don't care because Trump said I can do health care better than Obama so he is getting rid of his signature program. He doesn't care about people. He has no idea what it means to not be able to afford health care.
The Democrats have been saying it loudly and often and guess what? No corporate media thinks it's worth reporting on, or worse yet, they're cowards, afraid of making their orange overlord mad at them.
Won't make any difference if he starts a war and gets us all killed.
It absolutely is, and the idiot Democrats have done NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. Schumer should have been ousted months ago, and Jeffries just isn't cutting it. WTF are we supposed to do? Sit and wait for the orange sonofabitch to start the war he DESPERATELY WANTS? So he can broker.a peace deal and get that Nobel? How many dead American soldiers will fall because of this deranged maniac???
I understand the procedural limitations due to the power dynamics in Congress. But there needs to be a strong, coordinated, vociferous, daily resistance under the minority leaderships’ direction to rally every single American to push for regime change. For instance, the critical ACA credits millions of Americans rely on to be able to barely afford our broken system of health care will expire in 2 weeks. They should be holding demonstrations on the Capitol steps every single day calling out the Republicans’ abandonment of their constituents to poverty, destitution, disease, and death. It’s called LEADERSHIP for a reason. They need to lead.
...or a fellow Russian asset, perhaps one of his handlers.
The only thing more insane than his stealth bomber word salad was his 6 minute rant during the Christmas gathering at the White House a couple of nights ago about Viper snakes killing
28,000 !!!! people every year in Peru (in fact there have been 10 deaths in the last 15 fucking years). Obamas WH doctor told him this story about the Obama children wanting to go for a hike when he visited Peru and it turned into the greatest WEAVE in history.
His mind is GONE.
"Our land that Venezuela stole" - what the fuck is he talking about?
He is going downhill and becoming more dangerous every day. 2547 NOW
2547 is done by his CABINET!!!
OMG that hair. I'm 68 (as apparently is Ms. Wiles, why does she look like a really old lady), and only girls about 5 years older than I had the Dick Tracy "Moon Maid" look (you youngsters can look it up). They were generally jerks/mean girls -- Hey, Mrs. Gingrich #3 has that hairstyle also. Now I know that Wiles, Mrs. Gingrich #3, and Trump share hair care tips.
I suspect it's Wiles' camouflage: oh, she's just a sweet little old lady. Kind of like the bunny in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
By the way--is that her real name, or just a lucky coincidence?
I imagine that she was pretty when she was young.
Someone said she looks like Professor
Umbrage sans pink suit. ( Harry Potter character)
I'll have to look that up.
Yes. Yes, she does. With apologies to the wondrous Imelda Staunton who embodies Professor Delores Umbridge with such perfection.
Umbridge. I looked, she looks sweet but is nasty.
I am 78 again this year. I say women, old or young, should have their hair in a style that flatters their features. Why are we making fun of people who do not conform to the latest trends in hairstyles? There are so many other reasons to ridicule them.
However, I think it’s only fair to notice particular hairstyles serving as an indicator of assholery, or worse. The same for Mar-a-Lago face.
Melanias hair is ridiculous.
Too long & stringy.
Even with her extensions, it looks stringy and inappropriate.
I looked it up (l’m 73, but didn’t follow Dick Tracey). Hilarious! 🤣😂🤣
Cheryl, You really nailed it, you do think it’s real? Her wig belonged to her grandmother it has to be, more than 5 years too it came after the ‘beehive’ I would say.
Wigs by Zsa Zsa Gabor
Kristy, yes Zsa Zsa Gabor the greatest politician ever. That’s why Johnny Carson quit!
I met Zsa Zsa & the " Prince "
under interesting circumstances.
Ms. Wiles, Mrs. Gingrich #3, and Trump must account for over 50% of Acquanet use in the US. I bet Trump's "body man" has a can already available. Mirror also.
Dumb story about dumb people but I used to contract wallpaper hangers so once in a while we’d get a call “what’s happening with that wallpaper YOU put in my bathroom. Well I will be right over one look later, it was Aquanet overspray! That is varnish you know and a mess.
Yep, I was wondering about that, too. I’m a little older than you and we called that look “Helmet Head.”
Chris Wipple said that ALL the individuals mentioned as having defects.....already agree....Vance has said he "repeats 'conspiracy theories' but they are true." Ketamine Elon has already taken shots by the regime. And D 'agrees' with Wiles that the interview was unfair. All this shit is another distraction....these guys are proud of what they are. Meanwhile, we aren't getting double tap video, Epstein info or healthcare...but we ARE getting another war
We are not getting Jack Smith’s testimony in public, either. Let’s hope there are leakers to tell us what he was asked and what he said.
Susie Wiles is a wiley SOB. Whatever Trump does trumps all else in the news. The regime is full of liars who will never be held to account for their duplicity. Meanwhile, WWIII is upon us because of the regime’s incompetence, greed, and hunger for power.
As Trump is expected to give a speech tonight about his accomplishments, each on is not so much an accomplishment but at best a misunderstanding of statistics and, at worst and most likely, a deliberate attempt to undermine the accomplishments of the previous administration.
A speech from rump …. Gag. I will be sure to keep the tv off.
I think he's going to announce a possible land war and spend 2 hours justifying it. Sick f5ck.
"“I’m fortunate I’m not a drinker,” Trump told the New York Post."
SO ARE THE REST OF US, DONNY. His sole positive trait.
You forget Allison about all the Cocaine and Adderall he has abused over the years. That is AS bad.
So he really is an Adderall user. This is not a joke. Explains his late night tweets.
I think the Adderall addiction makes up for not drinking alcohol. Just sayin'.
Alcohol is a drug. Specifically, a central nervous system depressant. So, I agree TL that drumph’s adderall addiction definitely makes up for his non-use of alcohol.
the disease of addiction doesn't care if you are drinking alcohol or using drugs (even if prescribed) ; donny 2dolls is a "dry drunk" . (imho)
HA
He certainly has made the rest of us drinkers.
Truly, the alcohol and wine industry owes him a big, big bribe. He really improved their bottom lines.
Actually he's put many of them out of business because of the tariffs. Canada refuses now to buy any of our alcohol and we are not exporting nearly what we used to.
Nah. If he were a drinker, he’d probably already be dead. That would have been a plus.
I dunno, it might be better...
Maybe he would do less damage if he were a blackout drunk? IDK.
He's got one of those in his Department of War. The Nutcracker who keeps murdering Venezuelan crews on fishing boats...
Maybe it’d be better if he was? Like maybe it’d turn him into a nice person?
One can only wonder I suppose…
There are no funny clown shows. This is definitely not funny, but there are no funny clown shows. Clowns are the most fucking terrifying creatures in the world. And this stupid administration and all these pictures of clowns not diminishing my absolute terror of clowns.
Anthony Bordain often stated his great fear of clowns
I think the worst experience I had wasn’t with actual clowns, but we were visiting someone and spending the weekend and they showed us to the guestroom. And on three of the four walls there were double shelves all of them with different clown figurines. I just had to say I cannot sleep in here. Is it okay if I sleep on your couch? I don’t think it’s because of the Stephen King book either because I felt this earlier.
EEWWWWWWW
Since John Wayne Gacy was POGO the clown, the fear is warrented.
My sister feared clowns & Nuns.
Nuns are way more scary than clowns. Way more.
DEFINITELY !
Legit fear. I have it. I cant go to a "circus", too much fear.
In Palm Beach, a dedicated mom & wife was murdered as she opened the door to a 'person' dressed as a Clown with flowers. Marlene Warren was shot.....it took years to determine perpetrater was the paramour of her husband who married her years after murder. And then, there's John Wayne Gacy who ruined the image for clowns for generations. And me...i effing hate Ronald McDonald.
If a clown showed up at my door, I would call 911.
I think I saw that 'clown with flowers' murder on Dateline or 20/20 or something! That was a good episode - sad, but an interesting episode.
I believe there's been more than one " clown " murder. In the one you're referring to a woman was the killer clown.
My parents made the gigantic mistake of getting me a front row seat on the Bozo show, which was shown live. I was fine until Bozo approached me to pull me into the center ring for something or other, as he leaned over me to take my hand I started screaming my little 5 year old head off. Until that moment, I had never shown fear - let alone terror - to anything. I am not sure anything else since has made me scream like that!
OMG! The Bozo song is now running through my head. Make it stop!
I'm so sorry! I've blocked it out.
My first TV appearance was on a kids show in Minnesota.
The T.N. Tatters Show, a clown.
I was asked my name , I wasn't afraid & said " I'm Kristy Lou ! "
So precocious & obnoxious .
You were a very brave little girl, I’m from MN but that might be over. It is over for at least 3 years more.
Agreed. They are malevolent.
A coincidence that serial killer John Wayne Gacy dressed up as a clown when he rented himself out to entertain for children's parties?
He also went to Pediatric Hospitals.
Wow. Sick shit.
I have always hated clowns and have only been to one circus, and that was when I was carried out crying hysterically because a clown got in my face and wouldn’t back away even though my mother swatted at him. Another clown pulled him away.
