Don't miss this jaw-dropping history of Trump's decades-long service as a Russian laundromat, and at least click on it for the incredible and hilarious graphic at the start. And holy smokes, just the first three paragraphs tell the whole tale:
His ties with Russians go back to the ‘70s when he took Ivana over to start scouting for real estate. Not sure that marriage and that of Melanie(sic)isn’t one of Russian convenience. His whole story now in retrospect smells like one of his blown out diapers. He’s been an asset all along and no doubt gave rise to the foothold the Russian mob got in NY/Miami. Remember the stories that came out over a decade or more now about all the Russian mothers coming over, camping out in his fleabag hotel and having their babies here so they would have dual citizenship?
All these decades it was known that Trump at the very least was a corrupt liar! Why didn’t law enforcement do anything about his criminal behavior? This makes me sicker than I already felt!!
This is the real source of his money, laundering for the Russian Oligarchs, he and Epstein had a falling out over a piece of real estate in Palm Beach, that trump won the bid on. He sold it to a Russian oligarch and made 60 million over what he paid. Who overpays like that? Someone laundering their dirty rubles.
"In 2008, Donald Trump sold a Palm Beach mansion to Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev for the record price of $95 million.the Trump-Rybolovlev sale is getting added scrutiny, given it is one of the few financial links to Russia that Trump has acknowledged.
On May 15, 2008, the day the Palm Beach Post revealed the property was under contract for $100 million, Trump bragged about the deal on CNBC's Squawk Box. ..
Then in 2016, Trump told reporters assembled at a press conference in Miami: "What do I have to do with Russia? You know the closest I came to Russia, I bought a house a number of years ago in Palm Beach ... for $40 million, and I sold it to a Russian for $100 million."
Here's hoping we all ignore the mainstream press' coverage of Biden's speech. We know that Trump won't dare to debate him when the general election rolls around.
I don't know—it feels off to compare a career White Male Politician to anything related to "She's Too Black", especially one who's pulled that stunt himself. (Anita Hill—how soon they forget.)
The far more valid comparison is "He's too old" to "He's virtually the same age and clearly in deep cognitive decline—but he's NOT too old???"
Just because I agree Joe Biden is better than Donald Trump doesn't mean that I've forgotten Biden has his own significant failings, and to pretend otherwise is a big part of why he hasn't galloped so far ahead of Donnie Diaperstain that he's lapped him in the polls.
All true, but I don't see how the only party that could prevent Trump 2.0 from taking over the country again had any other REALISTIC alternative. Any splitting up the ticket for a different v.p. would alienate black voters , as it should; in today's celebrity, name-recognition-is -everything electorate, trying to familiarize the mass public (that doesn't follow politics or current events like the readers here do) with a new face would probably lead to a lower turnout - it would have had to start almost immediately after Joe's election! - , and an incumbent ALWAYS has a huge built-in advantage in fundraising for ad dollars.
All true. To start, as a new candidate a year in would have been a no confidence vote for the sitting president and we most certainly could skip all the positive legislation Biden did achieve. Personally, I do not see any "decline" that people like the one above has put forth. Biden has always talked like this. For the 100th time he is old. And so are a bunch of active professionals in many different fields and no one is telling them to quit making movies, writing books, or continue to occupy offices in the Senate or boardrooms. Apparently, Grassley is still old. Old enough to commit back stabbing acts while being Senator of Iowa for, what seems like 50 years but only about 43 years since 1980. Yep, he IS old but not too old to lie his way to self congratulations on GOP schemes at his 90 years.
Biden was Mister Malaprop when he was a Young Senator, and part of the way Obama used him was as comic relief! From what I gathered through official sources Biden not only didn't mind, he liked being Costello to Obama's Abbott—probably because Obama liked playing the straight man, and when shit got real he relied on Ole Uncle Joe to watch his back.
For myself? My Paternal Grandfather lived into his late Nineties as did my Maternal Grandmother, and both were in full possession of their faculties until the last few years of their lives. My Best Friend's Mother only recently died in her late Nineties and only begun declining in the last year of her life, and her Grandfather died in HIS late Nineties coming home from running a business! While he'd sit with my then-wife and talk about The Spanish Civil War a lot (he published an anti-Fascist newspaper and barely got out with his life), that was because she was genuinely interested in the topic and he was delighted to find a new and receptive audience....
Most of the older people I knew lived to be at least a decade older than Biden will be when he leaves office. The point is where it counts Joe Biden IS on top of things, certainly more than Donald Trump is these days!
I couldn't agree more in spite of the MSM constantly pointing look over there, or worse acting like the race between Biden & Trump is just another Democratic president vs a"regular" GOP. If anything like regular GOP" existed today - now there's a story!! But back to reality, you know, where Trump is a great businessman except the " business " experience is running Russian Voy Laundromats and in-between times running up debt and claiming bankruptcy. And why DON'T they talk about that?
Maybe because the " business community " and I use the word "community" mainly in jest, maybe they want to profiteer and buy up all the places on the Monopoly board with impunity, so nope, no factual news if at all possible. Because, meanwhile the VC are buying up the single family homes in markets like Atlanta and out bidding private buyers. This is being repeated across the country in many markets. Or Private Equity buying up hospitals, physicians groups and other health networks ( made easier as those markets consolidated 15+ years ago) and not to save us the users money, that is for certain. So while there is a whole sale "guilded age" of billionaires taking advantage in all of these markets the last thing the media owning billionaires want is for any reporting that might upset the equation. Oh, to be sure it is not 100% propaganda but news reporting is getting more allergic to facts and most definitely interested in " opinion". So, we get the comic book version of the presidential race and let it be a distraction. Safer than allowing more daylight on the entire enterprise.
There is still real journalism from ProPublica, PBS,NPR and the Guardian and others like we can read here but the MSM telling you it is raining, when they are actually...yeah, not so much.
Unless Senator Biden said something specific about Anita Hill’s race during her testimony that I don’t remember, I’m going to disagree that it had anything to do with her skin color. Since Anita was accusing a black man of the sexual harassment, it is more connected to blatant misogyny & men’s gut reaction to protect other men & rather believe that women are liars, out to get men & destroy their reputations & careers.
One has to walk on water to be a clearly exempt from critics if you are a progressive/ Democrat candidate or office holder. And even than the NYT will find fault.
I was only able to read the 1st 2 articles since I don’t have a subscription. He was more unfair than I knew at the time, & the entire thing was horribly misogynistic. I sure am more angry with him after reading them, however I still don’t see the blatant racism, other than as the one article pointed out, Joe & perhaps others were very determined to appoint a Black man & didn’t want him discredited; even by a Black woman.
I wasn’t taking up for Biden in my original comment to you, I was just saying I thought it was way more misogyny, than racism.
Hoyt, I LOVE your post. IMHO, Joe Biden is the most impressive and consequential president of my life going back to LBJ. I mean that. He inherited a nightmare - Trumpistan. So, it's a testament to President Biden's faith in this country, his experience, and determination to set us back on course that we are experiencing the positive trajectory in key metrics of economic and social stability.
That's the TRUTH, Hoyt. Well said and exactly right. The truth backed up by facts, is much more powerful and helpful to saving our Democracy, than attempts to misguide others with false equivalencies.
About 99.999 percent! The rest is, we don't have any other means of covering a President where we cannot focus on all the bad stuff he is doing, so we only talk about who he is, and that has been rolled into, his age. What else could be a problem? Even Hunter is not really indicative of Joe as a bad person, so what else do they have. They are somehow allowed to be ageist, but if they kept saying he has a Black female as vice president, and if she has a chance to take over we will have our first woman president be a Black woman. How anyone in their right mind could find Trump preferable to Harris I don't know, but apparently the age old adage of being White and male trumps being smart and competent and Black and Female to those who support the Republican party and our mainstream press. They don't even cover her.
Give the state of the union address from behind the Resolute desk and kick the R’s hard. And when he’s done, Biden should look straight into the camera, put on a sunglasses, and say “I’m dark Brandon and I approve of this message”
And a sucker who probably runs like a fully loaded beer truck, which would be comparable to fit as a fiddle Don's speed. Same folks who bought those ridiculous cards are falling for this latest bullshit grift. Stay tuned for his next shyster maneuver since it appears his cash will be gone quicker than all of that laundered Russian money.
“What in the jewel encrusted fuck…”! 😂😂😂 let the party of Putin try to shut down the SOTU. I’d like to see Biden delivering his speech in the Oval Office. It would be even better there! God they are a weak minded bunch. And is anyone going to investigate Holy Mike’s Russian ties?????
No, no, no, Susan. How would Margie Sporkfoot scream at him like a howler monkey if he was in the Oval Office? Nevermind; he could hear her if he was on the moon! Have a good one!🫶🏼
That's what I am NOT looking forward to in the SOTU address. MTG or others screaming out "liar" or whatever their "cue word" is for the day. I don't understand why the Sergeant at Arms doesn't immediately remove a member of Congress who is disrupting the SOTU, but so far, hasn't happened. I also like the idea of him giving it from the resolute desk especially if they try to disinvite him. The Constitution states he must give the SOTU to Congress and it was reduced to once/year. But couldn't he be on a screen from the Oval Office?
No, it was a calculated move meant to show how disrespectful Republicans had become. Remember that one R who shouted "Liar!" at Obama? He apologized the next day for his lack of decorum.
I made the same comment and it would highlight the dysfunctional trumpublican led House if Johnson doesn’t stop getting his johnson jerked at every turn.
Alternately, he could do it from any venue on capitol property where the GOP could be conspicuous in their absense for not giving a shit about the actual state of the union, but the howler monkeys like MTG would show up to proudly broadcast their ignorance.
The House Republicans act like an unruly bunch of middle school children!! If they don’t invite Biden to speak in the House do they think he won’t give the speech??
I just recently watched "The Reagans," a four-part series from Showtime of a few years ago, and Reagan wore tan suits ALL. THE. TIME. But we don't hear about that!
I loved President Biden at the SOTU last year and he will make the MAGAt GOP look like fools again this year. Can’t wait!
I think that the only reason that Cannon changed her mind is that she knew that the 11th Circuit was going to change her mind for her and possibly throw her off the case.
Oh, I'm sure that's the ONLY reason she did! She's starting to see that her once-promising Federal Judicial Career was about to hit a brick wall named "Jack Smith", and having no legitimate reason to not support his motion, she finally chose to do so.
Great idea. Biden made the Republicans look like idiots last year, so it’s no surprise that they don’t want face him again this year. They hate that he’s smarter than them.
It isn't so much that he's smarter than them (which I'll give you in a heartbeat), it's that he's been in politics longer than most of them have been alive. And he's waaaay better at it than they are, they know it, and they despise him for it.
What bill! They can’t prevent President Biden from giving the SOTU. It’s in the constitution! It doesn’t even say that he has to be invited by the Speaker. It says he can convene both houses when he chooses.
I'm looking forward to President Biden's SOTU address and watching him obliterate the Rethuglican party in real time. I fully expect him to come out swinging. And by the way, Mr Tiedrich, I CAN and DO look away every time I see TRump's ugly mug. TRump literally makes me nauseous. I just can't...
Seriously, how do imbeciles like Clown James Comer and Clown Gym Whordan get elected to our House of Representatives?
On another matter......
Biden is old.
Trump is old…….and Trump is a liar, a fraud, a con, a scumbag, a racist, a fascist, a traitor, a sex abuser, a serial defamer, a coward, an arrogant imbecile, Putin’s puppet, America's Presidential Accident and Disgrace, and an all-around piece-of-shit.
I'm old too but I am smarter, wiser and braver than I have ever been in my life. And the little things I forget, aren't fucking worth remembering anyway. So, knock off the "old" shit.
Thank you for saying this, it is true. So sick of ageism getting a pass. Older people are more experienced people. Younger does not mean smarter or better, and one can be an amoral profane criminal at any age. Just look at clips of the orange rapist from the 80s.
75 here, and better than I’ve ever been. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, compassionate/wise, able to synthesize and process lots more than when younger. Seriously.
When are you going to start writing a Substack Lorraine? I just clicked on your profile and realized you had moved to San Miguel. I have questions about that for one thing in case my wife and I need to parachute in. And I hit the subscribe button so I’m apparently subscribed. In someways it’s nice to be a subscriber to something that isn’t going to send me anything that I have to read. 😵💫👍😂
Hey Willim! I wrote three Substack newsletters then realized I needed to really buckle down and get my book, Miles to San Miguel finished, and I did! It's on Amazon. I have ideas for more letters but I'm starting my second book next week. I love Jeff's newsletter so much why write one myself right now? Glad to tell you about Mexico and San Miguel. I love this country and its people. I'll see if I can get your email off my Substack list.
There’s some real dodge-ball going on in what’s left of the RepubliKKKan party right now. They might find out soon, but not soon enough, that this kind of gaslighting is not the do-all go-all it was just 6-7 short years ago. I hope they lose so bigly in November that the whole party is dissolved.
Rethuglicans are essentially neutered in California -- and you know the old saying, "As California goes, so goes the Nation." Make these fkers go the way of their predecessors, the Whigs.
I thought it was slang for penis? My husband tells me there was a commercial, for Colt-45 malt liquor, that was aimed at black guys, that claimed "It makes your Jimmy thicker".
Trump's winning gets smaller and smaller. He should have been put in a place for the criminally insane years ago. The Republican Party as a whole will follow him all the way down the drain.
Biden is old but he is a public servant. Trump serves only himself, or maybe Putin.
"a washing machine where you could be in the middle of the greatest waterfall."
if Joe Biden said that, it would be on the front page of the Washington Post
A washing machine for money laundering
a tremendous washing machine, like no one has ever seen wash before, from the standpoint of washing. 😮💨

Well said😂
I believe the orange turd was talking about a different waterfall.
🤣 🤣 🤣
He would have to remove the diaper first and then there might be a shit slide along with the golden shower.
I am almost positive that he has plenty of his disciples that would roll in it.
Donna has done it again! Get this woman an HBO comedy special.
👍😂
At the very least the House Republicans would stand in line for a roll!!
🤣 🤣 🤣
I know Scump is still worried about the”pee tape”.
Here's hoping we all ignore the mainstream press' coverage of Biden's speech. We know that Trump won't dare to debate him when the general election rolls around.
Front,back and middle too!!
Yes it would have
All of it, Hoyt. All of it.
That’s certainly how I read it.
That’s a lot of it and it needs to be exposed.
His base is too stupid to appreciate much of anything.
I don't know—it feels off to compare a career White Male Politician to anything related to "She's Too Black", especially one who's pulled that stunt himself. (Anita Hill—how soon they forget.)
The far more valid comparison is "He's too old" to "He's virtually the same age and clearly in deep cognitive decline—but he's NOT too old???"

All true, but I don't see how the only party that could prevent Trump 2.0 from taking over the country again had any other REALISTIC alternative. Any splitting up the ticket for a different v.p. would alienate black voters , as it should; in today's celebrity, name-recognition-is -everything electorate, trying to familiarize the mass public (that doesn't follow politics or current events like the readers here do) with a new face would probably lead to a lower turnout - it would have had to start almost immediately after Joe's election! - , and an incumbent ALWAYS has a huge built-in advantage in fundraising for ad dollars.
Not arguing that point, because you're right. Just saying, let's not fall into the same Trump – I mean "trap" the Right has fallen into.
All true. To start, as a new candidate a year in would have been a no confidence vote for the sitting president and we most certainly could skip all the positive legislation Biden did achieve. Personally, I do not see any "decline" that people like the one above has put forth. Biden has always talked like this. For the 100th time he is old.

Yes, RV maxima—all of this.
Biden was Mister Malaprop when he was a Young Senator, and part of the way Obama used him was as comic relief! From what I gathered through official sources Biden not only didn't mind, he liked being Costello to Obama's Abbott—probably because Obama liked playing the straight man, and when shit got real he relied on Ole Uncle Joe to watch his back.
For myself? My Paternal Grandfather lived into his late Nineties as did my Maternal Grandmother, and both were in full possession of their faculties until the last few years of their lives.

As I said, Trump is so awful that despite all this? I'm voting for Joe Biden anyway.
One has to walk on water to be a clearly exempt from critics if you are a progressive/ Democrat candidate or office holder. And even than the NYT will find fault.
Oh, & yes, there are many things that I don’t like about Biden:
1) He’s an admitted Zionist
2) I hate his support of Netanyahu &
that he won’t shut off the weapons
3) I want him to stop using the phrase
abortion on demand as if that’s bad
4) He’s not being as forceful as he
needs to be calling out the crap
that’s in Project 2025
And that Project 2025 is SO BAD & completely terrifying that I’d vote for Joe even if he was semi-comatose
I was only able to read the 1st 2 articles since I don’t have a subscription. He was more unfair than I knew at the time, & the entire thing was horribly misogynistic.

Biden and his team have accomplished all this despite the Republican morons in Congress trying to block any progress!!
That's the TRUTH, Hoyt. Well said and exactly right. The truth backed up by facts, is much more powerful and helpful to saving our Democracy, than attempts to misguide others with false equivalencies.
I hope you don’t mind that I copied your great list for future reference.
Well said!! Thank you!!
Gee, Hoyt! Sure you didn't strain yourself remembering that the First Amendment exists for people besides you and Donald Trump?
I don't LIKE Joe Biden—I am allowed to do that and even express it. That I'm voting for him anyway shows just how dangerous I consider Trumpism.
If you treat others more on the fence than I in this manner, you are doing Donnie Assface's work for him by driving them to stay home.
Exactly! She’s too woman, too black, AND too Asian. So scaaaaary!
Yes.
About 99.999 percent! The rest is, we don't have any other means of covering a President where we cannot focus on all the bad stuff he is doing, so we only talk about who he is, and that has been rolled into, his age. What else could be a problem? Even Hunter is not really indicative of Joe as a bad person, so what else do they have.

Give the state of the union address from behind the Resolute desk and kick the R’s hard. And when he’s done, Biden should look straight into the camera, put on a sunglasses, and say “I’m dark Brandon and I approve of this message”
That is a terrific idea.
YES
😂😂😂Love it!!
Fucking brilliant !!!! Way to smart and perfect for Biden’s comms team to do
I can picture that and I love it!!
You’ll never GET your trump sneakers OR your money back so you’re a broke, barefoot fool 🤣
And a sucker who probably runs like a fully loaded beer truck, which would be comparable to fit as a fiddle Don's speed. Same folks who bought those ridiculous cards are falling for this latest bullshit grift. Stay tuned for his next shyster maneuver since it appears his cash will be gone quicker than all of that laundered Russian money.
“What in the jewel encrusted fuck…”! 😂😂😂 let the party of Putin try to shut down the SOTU. I’d like to see Biden delivering his speech in the Oval Office. It would be even better there! God they are a weak minded bunch. And is anyone going to investigate Holy Mike’s Russian ties?????
No, no, no, Susan. How would Margie Sporkfoot scream at him like a howler monkey if he was in the Oval Office? Nevermind; he could hear her if he was on the moon! Have a good one!🫶🏼
That's what I am NOT looking forward to in the SOTU address. MTG or others screaming out "liar" or whatever their "cue word" is for the day.

I think the Sargent at Arms works at the direction of the Speaker.
Well, that would be why. 🤦♂️
Hmmmm... So Speaker Pelosi could have had them removed in 2022... and didn't. Maybe if she had, the heckling would have stopped?
No, it was a calculated move meant to show how disrespectful Republicans had become. Remember that one R who shouted "Liar!" at Obama? He apologized the next day for his lack of decorum.
Didn't think of that. Great response. TY.
Right! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Oval office speech would be great. No monkeys throwing shit.....
I made the same comment and it would highlight the dysfunctional trumpublican led House if Johnson doesn’t stop getting his johnson jerked at every turn.
Is Covenant eyes keeping track of all that wanking?
Oh dear!!
If they pull that fuckery, that's exactly what he should do. The FBI should be investigating Holy Mike.
Alternately, he could do it from any venue on capitol property where the GOP could be conspicuous in their absense for not giving a shit about the actual state of the union, but the howler monkeys like MTG would show up to proudly broadcast their ignorance.
One can hope! I don’t see anything in the works yet, though. I’m so pissed at Johnson for not funding Ukraine I could spit!
I lmao when I read that part. He comes up with some dosies! At least there's humor to lighten up all of that doom and gloom.
Honestly, so would I—and if the Republicans pull that stunt? I think he should.
The House Republicans act like an unruly bunch of middle school children!! If they don’t invite Biden to speak in the House do they think he won’t give the speech??
Touché!
That's a good one!
if biden really wants to mess with the repuglicans, he ought to invite taylor and travis to be his guests at the sotu.
Oooohhhh… that’s a great idea! 🤔😄
Damn right!😃😃
And wear a tan suit.
I just recently watched "The Reagans," a four-part series from Showtime of a few years ago, and Reagan wore tan suits ALL. THE. TIME. But we don't hear about that!
Well he's got the white to wear whatever he wants.
Nearly ever president has worn a tan suit, there is a meme showing that.
But only one of them has to keep their pants on to avoid knee injuries.
Well, he was a white, tightly-whitey man that’s why.
I would prefer a statement suit of a neon blue with a pink shirt and a paisley tie. Or a purple suit with the same shirt and tie. 😁
A DARK BRANDON suit!
Blue and Yellow for Ukaraine.
It’s give the news media another shiny object to chase around the room!
Yes! Brilliant!
You win:-) Their heads would be spinning faster than in The Exorcist.
Omg. That’s brilliant!! And then Biden can just drop by the Swifty event and say a few words.
right. it becomes “swift of the union”!
I'm sizzling like an isotope,
at the very idea !
you made me laugh!😂
Damn!
Those 2 can go fuck themselves. No invite!
I do hope you mean Margie Troll Greene and her twin, howler monkey Boobs Boebert.
Of course
😉
Tell us how you really feel Herr Hierholzer. I’m certain they don’t need your insignificant permission to do whatever they wish.
It's classified....
Maybe he's old & jealous 🤔
I loved President Biden at the SOTU last year and he will make the MAGAt GOP look like fools again this year. Can’t wait!
I think that the only reason that Cannon changed her mind is that she knew that the 11th Circuit was going to change her mind for her and possibly throw her off the case.
Oh, I'm sure that's the ONLY reason she did! She's starting to see that her once-promising Federal Judicial Career was about to hit a brick wall named "Jack Smith", and having no legitimate reason to not support his motion, she finally chose to do so.
Ya..done from fear, not judicial correctness
Exactly.
Great idea. Biden made the Republicans look like idiots last year, so it’s no surprise that they don’t want face him again this year. They hate that he’s smarter than them.
It isn't so much that he's smarter than them (which I'll give you in a heartbeat), it's that he's been in politics longer than most of them have been alive. And he's waaaay better at it than they are, they know it, and they despise him for it.
True.
No doubt and they will look like idiots to the rest of the country.
Howler monkeys must howl, annd throw feces.
Do as I have Done! Cancel your NYT subscription. EveryBody!
And why isn't the NYT writing on Johnson's Oligarch Funding!
You know which team they are rooting for.
Already done! And if you are still a subscriber, you may want to cancel your subscription immediately.
I can't cancel my NY TIMES subscription!
I haven't had a NY TIMES subscription in over thirty years....
Well done! You are ahead of the curve, you trend-setter, you!😉
The New Pravda Times.
Did so 2 weeks ago
Already cancelled months ago
I’m now a former subscriber.
I’ve never subscribed
My favorite morning activity - checking the FU45 live debt counter - As of 8:57 AM Pacific time it's $465,194,150.48 and growing over $2 per second.

I do the same. Check it in the morning, grab a screenshot. Check it again at night, repeat screenshot then post the two.
What bill! They can’t prevent President Biden from giving the SOTU. It’s in the constitution! It doesn’t even say that he has to be invited by the Speaker. It says he can convene both houses when he chooses.
thanks for posting, i was worried.
You're right. That bill is more informative bullshit.
I think you mean "Performative" bullshit, which it is.
Predictive Text still has a long way to go....
That's exactly what I meant. Thank you.
I thought informative worked - as in "informative bullshit" meaning informing us of more misinformation and propaganda!! 😄
That also works.
😃
Thanks for clarifying that! 👍🏻
As if they have a clue, about that, or anything else, really.
I'm looking forward to President Biden's SOTU address and watching him obliterate the Rethuglican party in real time. I fully expect him to come out swinging. And by the way, Mr Tiedrich, I CAN and DO look away every time I see TRump's ugly mug. TRump literally makes me nauseous. I just can't...
I can’t look at him either. Ugh!
Seriously, how do imbeciles like Clown James Comer and Clown Gym Whordan get elected to our House of Representatives?
On another matter......
Biden is old.
Trump is old…….and Trump is a liar, a fraud, a con, a scumbag, a racist, a fascist, a traitor, a sex abuser, a serial defamer, a coward, an arrogant imbecile, Putin’s puppet, America's Presidential Accident and Disgrace, and an all-around piece-of-shit.
Not a hard choice! 😂🤣😂
I'm old too but I am smarter, wiser and braver than I have ever been in my life. And the little things I forget, aren't fucking worth remembering anyway. So, knock off the "old" shit.
Thank you for saying this, it is true. So sick of ageism getting a pass. Older people are more experienced people. Younger does not mean smarter or better, and one can be an amoral profane criminal at any age. Just look at clips of the orange rapist from the 80s.
75 here, and better than I’ve ever been. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, compassionate/wise, able to synthesize and process lots more than when younger. Seriously.
I agree with you! In a lot of ways I'm happier too.
No offense intended, Lorraine! I, too, am old!
congratulations! everyone should be so lucky!
When are you going to start writing a Substack Lorraine? I just clicked on your profile and realized you had moved to San Miguel. I have questions about that for one thing in case my wife and I need to parachute in. And I hit the subscribe button so I’m apparently subscribed. In someways it’s nice to be a subscriber to something that isn’t going to send me anything that I have to read. 😵💫👍😂
Hey Willim! I wrote three Substack newsletters then realized I needed to really buckle down and get my book, Miles to San Miguel finished, and I did! It's on Amazon. I have ideas for more letters but I'm starting my second book next week. I love Jeff's newsletter so much why write one myself right now? Glad to tell you about Mexico and San Miguel. I love this country and its people. I'll see if I can get your email off my Substack list.
AND if Biden were to have a medical incident we have a more than capable VP to step in.
That’s why the racists are so scared. Can’t you just see their heads blow off over having another smart Black woman in the White House?
🎯🎯🎯
Jeez wotta buncha weakassed treasonous mugs.
There’s some real dodge-ball going on in what’s left of the RepubliKKKan party right now. They might find out soon, but not soon enough, that this kind of gaslighting is not the do-all go-all it was just 6-7 short years ago. I hope they lose so bigly in November that the whole party is dissolved.
Rethuglicans are essentially neutered in California -- and you know the old saying, "As California goes, so goes the Nation." Make these fkers go the way of their predecessors, the Whigs.
"Universe, make it so!"
Loose Cannon must have received the signal loud and clear to actually apply the law instead of using the cheerleading manual.
Two Jimmies is slang for one brain cell.
One brain cell connected by two spirochetes.
😂😂
I thought it was slang for penis? My husband tells me there was a commercial, for Colt-45 malt liquor, that was aimed at black guys, that claimed "It makes your Jimmy thicker".
It very well could be. I made that up, because they’re such idiots, lol
I just love a good penis joke.
Trump's winning gets smaller and smaller. He should have been put in a place for the criminally insane years ago. The Republican Party as a whole will follow him all the way down the drain.
Biden is old but he is a public servant. Trump serves only himself, or maybe Putin.
I personally can’t wait to bust the FOX “News” bubble about how Joe tried to fix the border and Trump ordered the House to kill the bill.
And here I am scheduled to attended another round of meetings about a shut down...again.
