could someone who knows someone in the Army Corps of Engineers please pass on my idea to call them 'the fightin' spigoteers' — I really think they'd appreciate it
I’ll mention it to a person I know that is familiar with the Corps. I may even buy him a T-shirt .
But to the larger matter, we have all been very critical of the mainstream/corporate media. But it occurs to me that maybe they just don’t know how to ask questions or follow ups. Perhaps we subcribers could offer the people of the NTY, WAPO and others some appropriate follow up questions. I’d think the follow up questions to these lies, should be “why is it necessary for Mr. Trump to lie about things like routine maintenance on water systems, or reframing a scheduled flight to the ISS as some sort of impromptu rescue mission?
Karoline Leavitt, with her cross prominently displayed is another one of the anti-Christ Christian Nationalists where lying comes second nature. The ten commandments do not exist to them. Do not expect her to speak the "truth," unless truth now means "lies." It is a combination of 1984 and the Twilight Zone.
Easy for me to say, but I would go out swinging knowing I'd be fired: "You still haven't answered my question.....let me rephrase the question so you will understand....here is my question once again, do you understand what I'm asking?...WHY ARE YOU SUCH A FUCKING LIAR?!?!?!?!?!?"--as I'm being dragged out. Maybe I would make the news.
Itʻs very clubby. The reporters crave "access." They know if they push back they will lose their credentials. To use the term Jeff used in a different context, itʻs Kabuki theater.
They don’t want to lose their precious credentials. That Press pass makes them ‘special’ somehow. I follow Jesse Dollemore on You Tube and he’s always giving someone in this stupid administration hell. Anyway, he lives in DC and in one of his videos today, he said he had applied for press credentials since the press room has now been opened to bloggers and all other forms of what Leavitt described as new media. I’m staying tuned to see if this new press set-up will allow for his approval.
I know someone who had WH press credentials. At the start of trump 1.0, during an early press conference (with one of the early liars), he stood up and walked out. IF EVERYONE WOULD DO THAT, THE CULTURE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE.
Re: Propaganda Barbie…she makes me feel like an evil 7 year old who wants to give her a hack haircut and draw all over her face with a permanent marker. 😈I bet that would feel very satisfying.
Doesn’t she have any bigger shiny crucifixes she could wear? Seems like she ain’t even trying to go full Christofascist. We expect more from these juvenile hypocrites.
FWIW, both Snopes and the Sinclair Lewis Society say the quotation is mis-attributed---he didn't say or write it, although it's commonly credited to him. In fact, quote checking apps say there's no known source for the quotation as most often framed. Nit-picky lit major here.
It's not cosplay, it's entirely in line with historical Christianity. Today's prominent evangelicals are willfully ignorant jackasses and unrepentant sadists, but that's been Christianity's standard operating procedure for the two millennia it's blighted this planet.
Its a sorry cry to remember the Inquisition and the Crusades. Not to mention the Pope who didn't rail against Hitler and allowed religious persecution and exploitation or destruction of the most vulnerable populations. Christian works show that the sign is the word in deed...and the multiplying of kindness feeds the masses, and some left over. Full Cup running over giving stuff while these posers, thieves, and abusers of the truth for ego power literally race towards destruction.
It's a required accessory now. Think of Mike Lindell, who now SELLS replicas of the one he wears. Or that woman who gave State of the Union rebuttal a few years ago. These people are on board with the Nazz and want everyone to know it.
No posers on the train with the Nazz...you have to walk in the light and admit defects and stop deviant behavior....(in Maga Apostate Land there's magical forgiveness as you lie in your White Xian Magic Kingdom counting your clicks and thinking with your d....Ks)
While enduring my seven-year sentence at a Catholic grade school in the 1960s, I was convinced that the nuns' boobs were surgically removed when they joined the convent because my nun teachers were all very flat in front. I was also sure that they had shaved heads under their headdress, until one day when I was riding my bike around the school grounds and happened to see a nun wearing curlers in her hair, which freaked me out.
I will say that I received a good education from the nuns, who even taught me critical thinking, which they didn't appreciate when I started asking hard questions about God. Their standard answer was, "There are things you're not supposed to understand."
I loved my Catholic education. I even went to a Jesuit college for undergrad. My 9th grade Western Civ teacher/nun discussed the fall of the Soviet Union back in 1985! She predicted it and discussed the reasons for its collapse. I still remember how correct she was, and it had nothing to do with Reagan.
She should play "My Guy" by Mary Wells over some speakers as she dances into the press room with a life-sized figure of Jesus on a platform with little squeaky wheels. Yes, I know it's been done in film already, although I think that beauty contestant in the film "Drop Dead Gorgeous" was dancing with a giant cross, but my suggestion still stands. These false christians are so blatantly evilly incompetent. We should refer to KKKaroline as the Mouth of Sauron. I picked a bad week to quit drinking
The last pic of Elonia with a flag draped around him makes me want to vomit. Maybe what makes me sicker is the fact there are people who BELIEVE this crap. America is killing itself with stupidity. 🤦♀️
That's why Republicans h Ave been cutting back educational funds and content, they want the people to be as dumb as tRump. Critical thinking is the stake in their soulless hearts.
The fact that they haven't been able to return those astronauts is all on Elmo. He failed to deliver a working crew module when he was supposed to. This fucker can't handle the job.
Social media is being FLOODED with pro-Elon propaganda now, at his own expense. He needs AI slop images of himself to counter the actual videos of him looking like the hyperactive, spectrum-challenged skipping Nazi narcissist with the cum sock face that he is.
If, as Leavitt said, the mainstream press is increasingly irrelevant, it's because they aren't prepared to call her on her lies, won't, or can't, follow up on what she says, and are too afraid of losing access to challenge her. Maybe it's just as well if they are squeezed out for right-wing podcasters, as Leavitt and her friends can then spin their fantasies, and the rest of us can ignore the whole thing, knowing reality has left the building.
Thanks you guys. It has to be a Netflix day for me.
I agree with JoJo from Jerz.
“Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m just a glass half full kinda gal, but I am finding it really fucking hard to understand how all of you “he wants to be a dictator” Dems had months to figure out what to do if Mr. “I’m going to terminate the Constitution” came in and actually started terminating the motherfucking Constitution, and now it’s happening and the BEST you got is a “strongly worded letter”???
A fucking letter?”
Dems are getting close to collaborators these days.
1. The RWNJs were always asking us if we believed everything we were told when Biden was President, but have no trouble hanging on to every bizarre word two jackasses bray.
2. ACE job, engineers! We salute you
3. The astronauts may want to think twice about coming home in a cyberjunk vehicle.
We facetiously noticed a bigly increase in water pressure here in SoCal since the military turned on that ginormous spigot that saved the day. Also, it's such a relief that dear leader's Press Secretary Leavitt's debut was based on opening that big spigot of fantasy land bullshit and lies. It's deja vu all over again.
Don’t you love how all these MAGA women wear life-sized crucifixes (probably purchased from Mike Lindell’s rhinestone encrusted “No More Crack” collection”)? Nothing says faux Christian like wearing a cross big enough to crucify yourself.
My husband listens to the news (I don’t, I feel like my head will explode when I do). He said Leavitt sounds like she’s 12 and wasn’t at all impressive. But sure, NYT. “steely”. Fuck that noise
I was watching the movie Soylent Green last night - a truly terrible movie on a lot of fronts - and there was a scene with a blonde that looked exactly like this blonde Vapidula. In the movie, they called her "furniture". That's exactly what this administration looks for, something that looks nice and has no problem with a whole lot of assholes sitting on them.
Perfect description of dear leader: a reckless moron with the impulse control of a coked-up squirrel...So, the guy that put one of his crappy cars in space in 2018 is taking control of getting our astronauts back? Can't wait to see the outcome of that. I feel badly for the astronauts...
I’ll never understand why Biden didn’t pull those contracts, especially after elon’s starlink was found on Russian drones & he violated campaign finance laws.
True, but unfortunately this "optics" and "procedural" paralysis has afflicted too many of the Democratic Party leaders. The only time I hear their muted, peeved little voices is when they want a donation. And their texted appeals for cash read like a poli-sci master's thesis. Great strategizing.
Absolutely. The president of — was it Romania? — redid the election because of exactly what Russia did to us. Trump & his co-prez are a national security threat, & trump vowed to undermine the Constitution (& had a track record of doing just that) — and Biden ignored the part of his oath of office about protecting us from “enemies foreign & domestic.” So yes, I am not pleased — actually, I’m fucking furious — about that.
If you ever get the chance, if you haven’t already, to research the history of how SpaceX won the NASA bid and $$$, along with all the IP of their more experienced competition, you won’t be surprised but even less of a fan.
Well, it was a Boeing rocket that malfunctioned and stuck them there. Not like we can shop around a lot for a ride home.
BTW: the reason SpaceX is so slow getting up there is that their rocket ship is so small, meant to carry only 2 people, so they have to modify the seating arrangement. There's also a matter of connections not being compatible with the ISS. I'm not sure of the details on that. A lot of work is being done. I doubt if any of it is thanks to Elon's leadership, though.
It’s only week 2 and, let’s face it, we’ve gone from chuckling about how he farts in the golf cart to him wanting to release the ENTIRE federal workforce. We’re fucked.
NYT (and the rest of corporate media) have decided that they must placate the Mango MAGA Moron Mussolini because if they don’t he might threaten them. Talk about an utter failure of responsibility.
Seems like "diverting the water" is a great diversion for the real objective of the moment: diverting federal funds into a dumpster with the hopes that America as we've known it will soon follow.
could someone who knows someone in the Army Corps of Engineers please pass on my idea to call them 'the fightin' spigoteers' — I really think they'd appreciate it
Hegseth will soon have a new name for these mighty warrior wrench-handlers. And special uniforms. With plumbers’ buttcrack as their shoulder patch.
Plumber’s crack would be a great logo.
It’s also my favorite drug.
Sheeee-it! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would make a nice shoulder patch. Cheeky!
And punny too.
I wonder how many of the 37,000 USACE civilians will be fired and replaced with Dump loyalists?
Brilliant.
👍👍😂
🤣🤣🤣

Unanswered questions should be followed up by asking, "Why don't you answer his/her/my/their question?" Ad nauseam.
Karoline Leavitt, with her cross prominently displayed is another one of the anti-Christ Christian Nationalists where lying comes second nature. The ten commandments do not exist to them. Do not expect her to speak the "truth," unless truth now means "lies." It is a combination of 1984 and the Twilight Zone.
I saw that cross and immediately dismissed anything she says.
Exactly! I don't think she's worn it in past pictures...just for her new job--that's a prerequisite.
It's the mandatory con cosplay cross! The proportion reflect the size of the lies.
Or Animal Farm and The Outer Limits....
I'm always saying that!! Why don't they just keep repeating and asking why they didn't answer?
I think they are afraid of getting Das boot 👢 from shitlers media thugs.
Easy for me to say, but I would go out swinging knowing I'd be fired: "You still haven't answered my question.....let me rephrase the question so you will understand....here is my question once again, do you understand what I'm asking?...WHY ARE YOU SUCH A FUCKING LIAR?!?!?!?!?!?"--as I'm being dragged out.

Congress itself says that the most. I mean bloviation instead of answers.

If they can’t think of follow up questions, they shouldn’t be “journalists “
If they cannot research and analyze their journalism is not worth the space it is printed in.
‼️
Its a great name and needs a logo. I’d buy that tshirt. 😂
They should have combat medals … or at least commemorative tee shirts.
And hazardous duty pay if they are anywhere near shitler.
Somebody needs to come up with a Fightin' Spigoteers patch. You, sort of like the Fighting Seabees in WWII.
or like the one Jeff posted for the Jewish space laser troops!
Will do
It’s now ‘The Bigot Spigot’
Love that.
Will Do, Jeff 👍 !
😂😂😂
Re: Propaganda Barbie…she makes me feel like an evil 7 year old who wants to give her a hack haircut and draw all over her face with a permanent marker. 😈I bet that would feel very satisfying.
Doesn’t she have any bigger shiny crucifixes she could wear? Seems like she ain’t even trying to go full Christofascist. We expect more from these juvenile hypocrites.
Dana Milbank had a great line in his column about that crucifix. he said it was of the size "usually used to ward off vampires."
I'm completely fucking jealous that I didn't think of it first
In the interest of truth, it is a cross she wears, a crucifix has Christ’s body hanging on the cross.
Finally! Somebody who knows the difference besides me.
Delicious!
😂🤣😂
No shit. I saw that and wanted to vomit. Next thing she’ll be carrying it on her shoulders. I hate Christian cos play.
I forgot who said this years ago: “When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.”
Sinclair Lewis
FWIW, both Snopes and the Sinclair Lewis Society say the quotation is mis-attributed---he didn't say or write it, although it's commonly credited to him. In fact, quote checking apps say there's no known source for the quotation as most often framed. Nit-picky lit major here.
I believe it was Barry Goldwater of all people.
Sinclair Lewis.
Soupy Sales?
I found this poem as I was searching for the original source:
How Fascism Will Come
by Terry Ehret
https://poetryflash.org/poems/?p=EHRET-How_Fascism_Will_Come
I think Upton Sinclair said that. We are witnessing it right now.
Or it has been attributed to Sinclair Lewis. Can't find the definitive attribution but, there you are.
To the person who saw fit to roundly criticize me due to a lack of attribution for the above quote, get a life.
Maybe she can borrow Nacy Mace's giant crucifix earrings. Truly, if you see a Republican wearing a cross, the best advice is to Run!!!
I'm sure she will be dragging one behind her before the end.
It's not cosplay, it's entirely in line with historical Christianity. Today's prominent evangelicals are willfully ignorant jackasses and unrepentant sadists, but that's been Christianity's standard operating procedure for the two millennia it's blighted this planet.

Full Cup running over giving stuff while these posers, thieves, and abusers of the truth for ego power literally race towards destruction.
The crusades, inquisition, and the pope tacitly going along with Hitler ARE Christian works.
You don't get to dismiss the evil Christianity has done and only count the comparatively miniscule good.
"martyrbation" in public is so gross!
Can you imagine if someone stood up there with a Magen David? The maggots would be screaming!
U are correct.. that’s why I wear it everyday, to piss off Magas and prop cross people.
Makes me want to wear my Satan necklace.
Yup
And where were her matching earrings? Maybe next time.
And a lovely broach
It's a required accessory now. Think of Mike Lindell, who now SELLS replicas of the one he wears. Or that woman who gave State of the Union rebuttal a few years ago. These people are on board with the Nazz and want everyone to know it.
That moronic child-voiced lying hillbilly who gave the rebuttal was waaaay crazy (except in a party that has so MANY crazy women serving in office).
No posers on the train with the Nazz...you have to walk in the light and admit defects and stop deviant behavior....(in Maga Apostate Land there's magical forgiveness as you lie in your White Xian Magic Kingdom counting your clicks and thinking with your d....Ks)
Maybe they’ll hang her on a cross for her press conferences. That might be the visual they’re looking for.
I think a three-crook tableau with Dumpty, Elbow, and JV would be nice.
Garlic works better to ward off vampires. 🧄
That is a known fact among vampire hunters.
When I was a kid only the nuns wore them on the outside. Now we've got a gazillion nuns running around with heavy steel rulers.
While enduring my seven-year sentence at a Catholic grade school in the 1960s, I was convinced that the nuns' boobs were surgically removed when they joined the convent because my nun teachers were all very flat in front. I was also sure that they had shaved heads under their headdress, until one day when I was riding my bike around the school grounds and happened to see a nun wearing curlers in her hair, which freaked me out.

She predicted it and discussed the reasons for its collapse. I still remember how correct she was, and it had nothing to do with Reagan.
Jesuits are pretty cool.
As a first grader in Catholic School I asked one of the nuns if she were a man. Her response was less than amused.
They were to me another human species. Mysterious. They liked me because I was nuts and intrigued them.
Maybe they're wearing the crosses to ward off Trump's grabby fingers.
That was my question! Crosses must be a uniform requirement because they have all had them.
She should play "My Guy" by Mary Wells over some speakers as she dances into the press room with a life-sized figure of Jesus on a platform with little squeaky wheels. Yes, I know it's been done in film already, although I think that beauty contestant in the film "Drop Dead Gorgeous" was dancing with a giant cross, but my suggestion still stands.

Easier to control the masses when they are dumber than a bag of hammers
See: "Idiocracy".
Mike Judge's masterpiece.

The fact that they haven't been able to return those astronauts is all on Elmo. He failed to deliver a working crew module when he was supposed to. This fucker can't handle the job.
Elmo,mentally, is a “space cadet.” Take your rockets and go back where you came from.
Social media is being FLOODED with pro-Elon propaganda now, at his own expense. He needs AI slop images of himself to counter the actual videos of him looking like the hyperactive, spectrum-challenged skipping Nazi narcissist with the cum sock face that he is.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m barely hanging on even though my news consumption is down by 95%.
That 5% is really painful.
Damn straight Claudia, resistance to the oleaginous sewage that pours from their mouths is necessary, hang in there!!
I've reduced down to reading only, no TV news or political pods. I don't know that its down 95%, but what's left is still fucking brutal.
HP, me, too!!
If, as Leavitt said, the mainstream press is increasingly irrelevant, it's because they aren't prepared to call her on her lies, won't, or can't, follow up on what she says, and are too afraid of losing access to challenge her.

Kay-El, Rocket Man seems to have explosion problems. Wonder how astronauts feel about his recent "unscheduled disassembly".
Lol. Crash and burn is the reality. Just like Orange Fuckwit, everything Elump touches, dies
explosion problems call it what its is he's a premature ejaculotor
That's what I wonder.

Indeed it is. Has anyone played her yet on SNL?
That's coming!
I don't know if they can equal the spoof they did of Sean Spicer, which I am convinced had much to do with the shortness of his tenure.
Melissa McCarthy as Spicy was great.
And the segway podium!
How many Scaramucci's in a Spicer?
Well played Kay-EI!!
💯
Don’t you love how all these MAGA women wear life-sized crucifixes (probably purchased from Mike Lindell’s rhinestone encrusted “No More Crack” collection”)? Nothing says faux Christian like wearing a cross big enough to crucify yourself.
As Betty Bowers said, if they didn't wear those gaudy crosses, you'd never know they were Christians.
Excellent comment.
Yeah, but this one is better looking than Trowel Face Huckster Sanders. I couldn't look at that Fugly woman.
I love me some Mike Lyndel bashing, so he sells crap jewelry? Not that it surprises me.

Bravo Lisa!!
Lisa, your last sentence is marvelous ✨️ 😆
Now we can’t call him Pillow Guy anymore?
My husband listens to the news (I don’t, I feel like my head will explode when I do). He said Leavitt sounds like she’s 12 and wasn’t at all impressive. But sure, NYT. “steely”. Fuck that noise
Unlike Spicer, Leavitt lies like a North Korean propagandist and never breaks character. I think that's what qualifies as "steely."
Bless your husband for taking one for the team. He's a keeper.
Condoms and Gaza. Makes me want to play in traffic.
LOL Seriously…😂😂
Nice Mike, perhaps a few of us might like to join you!!
I'm in! Get enough of us playing in traffic, and we'll have an honest-to-gawd protest!
😂😂
You can just imagine the brainstorming to come up with this propaganda:
Maga #1 "Who do we hate?"
Maga #2:"Brown, not christians."
Maga 1: "Okay, but what do we say they are doing?
Maga #3: Don't they just have sex all day long?
Maga #2 Got it, we say Biden was sending them Birth control, which we also hate."
Maga #1: So he was sending millions of dollars worth of condoms to... where's a brown people country?
Maga #2 Gaza!"
Amazing that you could follow the breadcrumbs, or whatever
Award Karoline the Sean Spicer F*ck The Truth medallion.
From this day forth, I shall refer to her as Vapidula. Like dracula, but vapid MAGA blonde.
She got her job because she's Ivanka 2.0.
I was watching the movie Soylent Green last night - a truly terrible movie on a lot of fronts - and there was a scene with a blonde that looked exactly like this blonde Vapidula. In the movie, they called her "furniture". That's exactly what this administration looks for, something that looks nice and has no problem with a whole lot of assholes sitting on them.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎯There's going to be heavy competition for that title in this admin. Even the guys like hogsbreath qualify!
Never thought I'd miss the good old days of Kaylee McEnanny!
I always referred to her as Kaylee McNinny.
I always referred to her by her real name "Kay-LIE McEnany."
Or Kayleigh Whack-a-ninny.
"She's-a-ninny"
Fun fact: when you are given the SSFTT, the award presenter is dressed as a giant bunny.

SpaceX has been NASA's default delivery service for years. it's maddening
I’ll never understand why Biden didn’t pull those contracts, especially after elon’s starlink was found on Russian drones & he violated campaign finance laws.
Why? cause Biden didn’t do crap when it meant stirring up the pot.
True, but unfortunately this "optics" and "procedural" paralysis has afflicted too many of the Democratic Party leaders. The only time I hear their muted, peeved little voices is when they want a donation. And their texted appeals for cash read like a poli-sci master's thesis. Great strategizing.
They are out there every single day making noise. You have to look for them, because it's not covered. They are fighting back.
Yup the corporate media won't cover it, because they want us to have a circular firing squad! Don't fucking help them.
Absolutely. The president of — was it Romania? — redid the election because of exactly what Russia did to us. Trump & his co-prez are a national security threat, & trump vowed to undermine the Constitution (& had a track record of doing just that) — and Biden ignored the part of his oath of office about protecting us from “enemies foreign & domestic.” So yes, I am not pleased — actually, I’m fucking furious — about that.
If you ever get the chance, if you haven’t already, to research the history of how SpaceX won the NASA bid and $$$, along with all the IP of their more experienced competition, you won’t be surprised but even less of a fan.
It's going to get astronauts killed.
Maddening is the cost of his meddling in our government Jeff!
Well, it was a Boeing rocket that malfunctioned and stuck them there. Not like we can shop around a lot for a ride home.
BTW: the reason SpaceX is so slow getting up there is that their rocket ship is so small, meant to carry only 2 people, so they have to modify the seating arrangement. There's also a matter of connections not being compatible with the ISS. I'm not sure of the details on that. A lot of work is being done. I doubt if any of it is thanks to Elon's leadership, though.
RZ, wonder how much political news astronauts have been getting. They might not want to come back!
True dat Teri!!
It’s only week 2 and, let’s face it, we’ve gone from chuckling about how he farts in the golf cart to him wanting to release the ENTIRE federal workforce. We’re fucked.
Thank you, Jeff Tiedrich, for making my day (again) -- you're all the news I need 💕
💯💯💯
The august NYTs has become a GOP-MAGA propaganda vessel. The moniker should change "all the 1984' news that's fit to print"
NYT (and the rest of corporate media) have decided that they must placate the Mango MAGA Moron Mussolini because if they don’t he might threaten them. Talk about an utter failure of responsibility.
PABs are afraid of a PAB. (PAB = pussy-assed bitch, a term coined by philosopher Chrissy Teigen).
When SpaceX goes up to the space station again., can we send Elon on a one-way trip?
I think they should send him home in one of his Swastikars. Make him drive home.
Or to Mars?!?!
He should be the first, to plant the flag, or even whatever he was wearing in that picture today.
Don't forget that Gnewt Gingrich called dibs on being Governor of the Moon. For realz -- https://baronmind.livejournal.com/588951.html
I have an excellent alcoholic beverage set by, awaiting the evil POS's demise.
Mary, is Newt dead yet?
Alas, no.
The sun.
His rocket ride will be heading to Mars, where he can be king , as in Wernher von Brauns book: The Mars Project, his namesake Donna!!
Seems like "diverting the water" is a great diversion for the real objective of the moment: diverting federal funds into a dumpster with the hopes that America as we've known it will soon follow.
What satchels of dumbfuckage voted for this?
Hard to believe, but true Jon!!
That’s a bingo Jon!
I'm so fuckin tired
