And thank you for telling it like it is re NYT. I used to have a subscription and was a faithful reader but they’ve just gone off the rails. And the internet is now an enormous competitor.
That’s exactly what I did. One too many NYT-Sienna polls and the usual. I didn’t quite understand until today why NYT was routinely dragging the Biden administration and the President himself. I thought they just wanted to keep the race close out because of their profit motive. Keep those campaign add $$ coming in. But to see our nation jeopardized by Sulzberger’s sheer pettiness? Perhaps NYT aspires to compete with NewsCorp as the TASS of a future Trump administration.
I cancelled NYT a few months into Biden's inauguration. Totally disgusted that Peter Baker was whining on TV like a spoiled child about POTUS not accepting interview requests. Can anyone else imagine what Joe Biden walked into on Day One, Day 30, etc? We the public will probably never know what crises (plural) dfg left behind.
I remember that the Covid-19 pandemic was in full swing after having killed over a million Americans due to Shitler's lies, the economy was in freefall, and everyone hated us.
Unfortunately, I also remember that. I also remember very nearly having a nervous breakdown requiring a trip to the Nervous Hospital for the four years prior to Joe Biden's inauguration.
My online subscription was only $4 weekly but I canceled a while back and get the Associated Press free every day all day for any “real” news sans opinions.
Jeff, then my million dollar question is why the fuck doesn’t Biden take an interview with the New York Times in the first place? Why the fuck answer me this? If he had done it from the beginning this wouldn’t be a, excuse me using your favorite lexicon, a FUCKEN deal. This is why Biden is so up his own ass. He will risk losing this because of his own stupid fucken stupid out of touch personality. Let me include and cross pollinate a piece I wrote yesterday from my own blog.
You Know Something Is Happening Here But You Don’t Know What it Is, Do You, Mr. Jones
The title is taken from an old Bob Dylan song. And it reflects the protests taking place mostly on college campuses that have spread across the nation in reaction to the massive slaughter of Arabs in Gaza by the Israeli army.
The world has reacted in a very predictable fashion. First Hamas invades Israel and slaughters 1,200 people while taking a large quantity of prisoners. The bombardment ensues killing tens of thousands. The brutal brilliance of Hamas leadership correctly predicted what is now taking place on the world stage, making Israel an international pariah. They were and are willing to sacrifice their own as collateral damage to further the cause of a Palestinian statehood. One might extrapolate that this extreme is a reaction to countless decades of what has amounted to ethnic cleansing by migrants from other lands who were themselves ethnically cleansed. It’s a vicious cycle of historic human behavior that can be found anywhere humans have migrated including the Americas.
Events have fostered a new anti-war movement unseen since the Vietnam War period. From the Berkeley Free Speech Movement which spread east across the nation now has its modern corollary at Columbia University which has spread west and south.
This social movement will not end until major issues are resolved in the Middle East and there is no prospect for this happening under the current regime in Israel. And because 2024 is an election year, there will no doubt be massive protests on the streets of Chicago during the democratic convention. Have we been here before? Yes we have. In 1968, the culmination of the growing anti-war movement took its greatest manifestation on the streets which turned into riots and abusive police response. It tore apart any meaningful messaging democratic leadership attempted under LBJ, whose leadership the war was blamed. Ironically, Lyndon Johnson was the most progressive president in the latter half of the 20th century but by 1968, he was cornered by his own post WWII anti communist mentality. The times had changed and he suffered the consequences with a withdrawal of candidacy and a defeat at the polls which ushered in a corrupt administration under Nixon.
There is no comparing Nixon to Donald Trump. As unlikable and ultimately paranoid as Nixon became, Trump is a deal breaker of immense proportion. He will destroy whatever remains good in this nation. Everything negative has already been said of this monster. Indeed, my book reveals it all in, “Donald’s Vanity Tantrums,” in which my latest story addition explains his behavior when in the 1970s and early 1980s, his mentor, Roy Cohen, coached Trump to never admit guilt; to never admit defeat and to always counter attack all charges. This epitomizes Trump today.
Is this Deja vu all over again? I think there is a growing chance that massive protests will break out on the streets of Chicago. Joe Biden is being rightfully cast as the ‘Mr. Jones’ of this commentary for not reading the tea leaves and for giving Israel any armaments it requests to continue the slaughter of innocent people who only have wanted a place to live unhindered.
I was 15 years old in 1968 and even as a young person, I ruminated why the anti-war movement was destroying the very political party that contributed so much to civil rights legislation and related causes. Is Joe Biden our modern Lyndon Baines Johnson? Perhaps you should ask yourself this question.
But you know, in politics you need to put bruising aside for the greater good of the program. Oh, so since they did that, I’m gonna do this shit to get back at them. That’s sure bet for a pending loss. I get what you said but still stupid. And we are not just talking about just another important we can’t lose this one election. No, WE CANT LOST THIS FUCKEN ELECTION DO YOU UNDERSTAND. WE CANT LOSE THIS FUCKEN ELECTION. And little Joey Biden doesn’t want to talky to the Times because of… shit fuck “I’m mad at this I’ll get them back even if it means losing my election. Watch how satisfying it will be to lose knowing I fucked with the great New York Times.”
Now Senior Jeff, you should hire me to write when you are under the weather. Ha… ha…
Billy, you need to learn how to spell, use apostrophes, and what the difference is between “Señor” and “Senior”. I can’t believe you actually publish material that you expect people to take seriously. Ha … ha … not. 🙄
But… but… I don’t want you to take it seriously. Seriously. It’s no longer my fault it’s Apple’s Fault and it’s AI. I absolve myself. And if you are a teacher, do give me a flunking grade. And btw, during grade school days, the spelling teams never wanted me on their teams but the last choice was usually me. Senorita.
That’s why we are all full of opinions. I was never a cheerleader and don’t intend to be one now. I call it like I see it. And, in general not directed at you, it’s too bad more folks don’t get it.
Do you really think an interview with Biden will help him? The Times will ask questions about his age, Hunter, alleged payments from China and Ukraine, Afghanistan, Gaza? Do you think the Times will make it flattering? Will they enumerate his many accomplishments? No. So why should he give them the opportunity to denigrate him? They just want to show Biden as an inept person who has done nothing for the country. No way should he do an interview.
Taking a beat, I recommend everyone listen to Michelle Wolf's 2018 White House Correspondence Dinner performance. 19 minutes of bravery and brilliance.
Net: EVERYONE knew in 2018 exactly what Trump, the Republicans (ruthless) the Democrats (not ruthless enough) and the media had going on.
As for the NYT, appreciate that, as Michelle Wolf pointed out: "The media love Trump. He's made you a lot of money."
Could it be that NYT knows that a second term of Biden is an end of Trump news? That we will have coverage of his criminal trials, but the minutiae of back and forth bartering dates, times, places and conditions of these trials will be so drawn out as to cease to draw the crowds an angry and potent Trump does? Hmmm?
And that crap is despicable. As the mother of a son who had addiction problems, who eventually died of a heroin overdose in 2008, I understand the heartache of seeing your child fall down that hole, & trying everything you can to throw him a lifeline.
It’s just so lowlife of the nyt & the republicans to drag his son into their torment of Biden. Shame on them all
Superior people like the NYT like to disparage people just to show who's in charge. Unless I knew and trusted the reporter, I would not give an interview to the NYT.
Maybe Sulzberger wouldn't let him. That would be letting Biden control the narrative. The interview would have to be somewhat critical to show that the NYT is so very independent.
Maybe maybe not. We forget that these well, all news companies are for-profit. And without a doubt, the Times wants to increase its base. And you don’t do it by being a Fox company. They make no pretense to being objective. Except they do toss into some shit a few intelligent writers just to give some semblance to legitimacy. That’s the way things work, I’m afraid. Our side doesn’t own the Times. I wasn’t aware of this mess. I do suscribe and I will now let them know my opinion and the desire to end subscription after it ends.
Why should Biden be at the beck and call of the NYT's oligarchic head, when he does not even have a decent paper? Should Biden also be at Elon Musk's beck and call? Moscow Times? TASS? Putin is buddies with Hamas. Putin is buddies with Netanyahu! Putin is buddies with Iran. Do you see the people that are getting an edge on this? Not the people of any of their countries and it certainly has distracted everyone from Ukraine. Or, so Putin thought. Here is a YouTube recording of Katie Couric and Anne Applebaum's discussion organized by Big Tent. https://youtu.be/TjAXwkKJ3Fk?si=QIIQO-CojmYbveu5
Ms. Applebaum rightfully points out the role that Biden is playing in the Middle East is more nuanced than outsiders can see.
Linda I was just thinking about what you wrote before I read it. Sulzberger is ready to grease the slide of fascism because of the pity party he is having for himself. Doesn’t respect have to be earned? Or be a two way street?
Sulzberger thinks like a spoiled rich boy, which is unrealistic. Let him call Howard Stern and ask how he got a Biden interview. I am no longer suffering from his temper-tantrum because I no longer read his rag!
I don’t subscribe to that. If my business is chosen to be a vendor, I’ll be attending the democratic convention. I’ll observe from the inside. If the protests materialize on the streets of Chicago, then Biden could only hope for something real be happening caused by the loss of Roe.
I was 13 in 1968. Democrats lost the election for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the tendency of American voters to favor "tough talk" over thoughtful discourse.
Student protesters in the 1960s wanted the war to end because they didn't want to kill or be killed. They were not calling for the extermination of Vietnam.
If Trump even has a place on the ballot in November, it won't be because President Biden didn't play nice with the Times, but because too many of us are too stupid to get out of our own way.
I also used to have a NYT subscription, but this election it has turned my stomach like one of Treacherous-treasonous-traitor-Trump's speeches, which I also tune out unless they are fed to me by Jeff with his totally hilarious take on them when it can be mustered up. I no longer support the oligarchic-treacherous-tantruming-traitor Sulzberger's paper.
I canceled my news subscription a few years ago bc of their b.s. I thought my little Games and Cooking subscriptions were insignificant, and now I feel naive as I'm hearing how much those subscriptions support the company. Canceled, all of them!
The absolute truth. In all my life, I NEVER thought we would witness our society being this fucked up. 😂 Humor definitely helps with a like minded group as Jeff has assembled here.
no — you folks assembled yourselves, and that's awesome. when I started this thing, I figured that a few people might enjoy reading it, but I never suspected it would attract a community. what a happy accident!
Here here to happy accidents!!! May this happy accident result in a happy election result for this wonderful community! Putting those vibes out there for the universe to absorb and make happen.
Well, I am one of huge numbers of people who enjoyed your tweets as they were forwarded for my enjoyment. (I never got on twitter and now I'm glad I never did.) I figured your substack would be worth my time and I'm delighted I found this to be true. We NEED points of view like yours, Jeff. Sometimes the only way to cope with the pain of this time is through humor. Please keep up the good work.
As a history professor, my mind is completely boggled; has this fucking world not learned one gd thing? No! We fucking haven’t! My gaaaaaaaaawwwwwwd! Anyway, hope Philly is nice Susan!🫶🏼
It's where I head after deleting all the rest of the news, and I now make sure I pass on the nyt junk mail first. Then I smile when I see Jeff's name...and I keep smiling while I read all of my fellow followers of the SAGE OF OUR TIME! Thanks, JT!
Jeff, I really didn't believe the Sulzberger pile of **** when I first read about it, but you have the receipts. Thanks for researching this story for all of us!
BTW, you are not allowed to slow down, get old, or sober up. At least not before the election.
When Biden wins, I want us to fund a trip for you and Ms. Spouse to your dream destination. You just have to send us a lot of postcards. A few pictures of you drunk on a beach would also be appreciated.
Jeff, Your blog is the only place where the gloves are off. The preposterous "let's all pretend we live in normal times and Trump is a valid candidate" is obliterated by you daily with a ferocious clarion call to stop with the craven niceties and ensure we are not going to sit by sipping our tea while the orange ogre and his minions violate our world. No, sir. From informative to hilariously cathartic, your blog rocks my world. Thank you!!!
Dude, we are not just hanging out here with you, this is much needed for many of us every morning… So thank YOU for doing this every day, of all the money I spend in my life, this is money well spent for me!
I cancelled my subscription to NYT the day after the 2016 election. I'll be damned if I will give money to a paper dedicated to giving free publicity to the Mango MAGAt.
They gave him millions of dollars in free coverage, and slammed Hillary constantly over Benghazi hearings, when even Kevin McCarthgy admitted was just to ding her political aspirations! And that horseshit "Clinton Cash" easily disproved (probably Russian) propaganda they published was a moment of shame for them. I weill never forgive them for those tabloid moves.
Thank you Jeff for providing us with daily updates about Republicans and their agenda.
For making it hysterical and giving us video evidence of their actions. I look forward to every morning reading your column and being able to start my day with a smile and a laugh.
You’re one of the the best columnists I have read!
Not a problem. You keep things (sorta)light while delivering killer messages. As long as you can hang in Jeff, your grateful readers will hang right there with you.
The NYT....UGH. They have slid into the shitter, no doubt. I love that Biden decided to have a chat with Howard Stern...a nice "Fuck you" to the Times. Glad I canceled that rag. The dog killer news is everywhere and at least people on both sides can agree this is a heinous act of a sociopath. Whatta crazy bitch...she's done now (I hope). And Good Riddance.
Serious question, term limits aside, do you think this behavior will help get Noem re-elected?
Let’s not forget, Republicans are pet lovers too. My Republican neighbors (both sides) have pets. We hang out and tell funny pet stories, talk about stuff. We never talk politics and I know this kind of thing would make them physically ill.
A person has to have psychopathic issues to cruelly slaughter animals for no reason than to fluff their egos. The entire trump mob family are empty, egotistical, unqualified for any job, violent terrorists.
That is so gross. I have been fortunate enough to go to South Africa to a safari camp, got to see a huge herd of elephants up really close. They are magnificent. When we drove out to find the lions, 2 females with 3 cubs, & just before dusk they walked right past the jeep; I just cried. I just couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to kill them.
Well aware of Catturd. You could knock me over with a feather that Catturd is upset. Too bad the outrage is absent when human beings are beaten to death.
Let's hope the puppy killing VP wannabe is done although not much seems to phase the MAGA loving asswipes. The NYT should be putting disturbing news like this front and center but they could give two shits about all of the non-stop GOP wrongdoings of their cash cow. Just like CNN reporting that 55% saw Emperor Diaperload's presidency as favorable even after 1/6 and he is still in the lead among voters. How the hell is that even possible?
That's what I think too. I don't believe it, %55 is way way off. More like %15 I would say. Average normal reasonable people who think of themselves as Republican DO NOT support trumpf anymore. Maybe in 2016 but not after Jan6. Even if they voted for him in 2020 his behavior after he lost appalled them. And I believe most of them are normal average people. It's just that the yahoos being the loudest and most visible make tfg's support seem magnified. His rally audiences have been shrinking, 2 pathetic protesters at his criminal trial, even FOX disparages him. CNN is full of bullshit or they're just plain idiot "journalist" poll takers. I'll show them my pole, which they can shove straight up their poll's ass.
IDK, tonight, Sunday, I watched CNN “The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper” It was the reporter with the Scottish accent reporting on misinformation, Trumpism, & Christian Nationalism. He started with a few Evangelical pastors who are trying to get their flock back to the real teachings of Jesus.
As you said, they are louder, but he profiled the J6 rioter who served time & is now running for the House & he’s downright scary!!
He went to a maga gathering in Las Vegas & talked to a few supporters, & man, those people are just unreachable & super committed.
I hope you’re correct that there aren’t that many of them, but they are fucking terrifying.
There’s just no end to the violence that can be committed by religious zealots who firmly believe they are the army of god. I’m definitely worried.
Rick-It isn’t possible. That’s why right wingers have purchased virtually every source of major media. This is as big of a concern as trump himself. There aren’t enough REscumliCons ro get 50-50 with Democrats. So they print the lies for people to hear often enough that they start buying into it. Never repeat their BS, their BS polls etc. It’s put out there to support their big loser, orange shit-stain.
I couldn’t sleep last night with that mentally disturbed person’s actions swirling around my brain. I cannot even fathom the depths of depravity it requires to do such an unconscionable act.
They don’t care that you cancelled. Story time. In my town of Hartford, our daily once began to do unsolicited drops of advertising pages. Much of this sat in front of our houses for days. It became litter. I called the circulation department and asked them to stop. Of course they ignored me. I then called the publisher with the same request. Again, they ignored me. My last letter hard copy to the publisher of The Hartford Courant indicated that if they didn’t cease, I would collect this trash and bring it to their front doors and toss it, take a video stream for social media, and call a press conference in front of the building. Guess what happened? They ended the litter being tossed on our properties. That’s the only way you can motivate them. I was banned from comments on the WaPo years ago for stating that I would crap on the steps of the Capital when Trump was laid in state. What can I say.im emotional and expressive just like I’ve been here.
I joke about starting a tour bus to go around to Scalia, and rushbo's graves once I get everyone to drink a keg of beer for ammunition! Dancing is optional.
"“Dog owners know our furry friends can be a lot to keep up with. But when those tough moments come, you have options. Shooting your dog in the face should not be one of them. And if you do happen to shoot your dog in the face, please, don’t write about it in your autobiography.”
This short video pseudo PSA from the Lincoln Project is tidy. I wish they had been more explicit that Noem was the inspiration.
nailed it…she is definitely a non-human…being! GROSS BEHAVIOR… and I know FARM life…it’s about survival and HELPING our fellow animals. She is NOTHING but a pos, just like her drump leader.
Saw a short Howard Stern clip. He was wearing a suit. Gutsy move for Biden. HS didn't ever off into his misogenistic juvenile idiocy. Biden reached million of people.
I still need to check out his interview with Biden and will look for his interview with Hillary Clinton. I do love his response to people criticizing him for being woke:
“By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m woke. I’ll tell you how I feel about it. To me the opposite of woke is being asleep. And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you fucking want. I’m not for stupidity, you know. I ran out Friday morning. I was over at CVS. Thank you, CVS. I went over there 9 a.m. and got myself that new vaccine for COVID. Fucking science. This fucking country is so great… I am woke, motherfucker, and I love it. I want to be awake. I want to read legitimate news sources. Here’s how woke I am. I believe the election was not rigged. I am woke. I think that’s a compliment.”
Read his last book ",Howard Stern comes Again" is a book of his best interviews over the years, it is a good read. He tells of the years of therapy he had, to realize why he was such a jerk. Now he interviews people with respect.
“I don’t want to talk about it. the details are out there if you need to know.
I just want to highlight how insane it is that one political party has sunk so low that it now believes it’s a good thing to brag about being a dog murderer.”
You don’t want to know. I can’t get it out of my head.
With all the other crap going on, especially the treatment of women by the christofascist MAGAt Party formally known as the GOP, this puppy murdering bitch bragging about shooting her puppy in the face because she “hates that dog” is the last straw. Or at least it should be.
And the goat. Don’t forget that she also murdered a goat in the same fashion because it was smelly.
She is a serial murderer!
She will fit right in as Herr Dictator LDFF’s henchman.
Vote blue for god and country and puppies everywhere!
These people would take the nickels off their dead mother's eyes. Then kick a 3 legged dog and blame the dog. In her case, just shoot the fucking dog. That woman has more plastic in her face than a 3M plant.
And evidently, she is showing no remorse, rather she doubled down to defend her vile behavior by saying they killed three horses on their farm because.... it had to be done. Where is PETA in all this?
"Noem responded by doubling down. “We love animals,” she said, “but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down three horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.” The governor also promised “more real, honest and politically incorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping”.
Hoping she’s executed….can’t think of a more appropriate reciprocation. These nut cases are deadly monsters who threaten everyone who is not in their club. Time to exercise punishments!
Yes, her 8 year old daughter (at the time) asked where the goat was when she came home from school. I assume she got them the goat as a small, cute, pet.
I saw a comment on Twitter put up by one of the sane Republicans; he said Noem probably calls Trump Old Yeller. I thought that was hilarious! 😂 And if you take that theme just a little further, she’s not kind to stinky old goats either. He should be very afraid of her. 😁
Kristi Noem slaughtered a puppy. she fucking bragged about it in a book. Her admission of this confirms that there is no bottom to her profound ignorance.
That's what all maga would like to do to problematic mishandled things like the homeless, old people, etc just shoot them in the face in a ditch. Truly.
Yes. The reason we think that is because over and over that's what they've told us they want to do and are planning on how to do it.
Suggested reading: Miles Taylor's "Blowback"* on this topic. Miles is the author formerly known as "ANONYMOUS," who wrote "A Warning" in 2019, a year which seems like it happened decades ago.
(*Not to be confused with Chalmers Johnson's 2000 work, "Blowback", part of his Empire trilogy.)
Her ignorance and pathology. That dog and goat gunning down episode does not suggest a stable mind. Anger management must have failed for Kristi the puppy killer.
What’s she going to do when Dumbass farts up a storm when they’re discussing the 2024 Repugnant presidential campaign? (Blam!!!) “Ha, ha, ha! Now I’m the Repugnant presidential candidate!”
They seem to love it. When it is said that TFG brings out the worst in people by being their avatar, there are no guard rails- and there will be none if the American people sleepwalk into giving him a lifetime appointment to dictatorship.
Gosh, my kids were untrainable. Never occurred to me to take them out to the dump and shoot them for ruining my day. They refused to march around cleaning up their messes, refused to do homework they thought was stupid (I was a teacher, I know stupid, the kids were right), refused to salute me when I came in the door, and would not hunt for slugs in the garden (even at 5 cents bounty apiece.). Here’s to my life: dogs, kids, spouses, grandkids, cousins, kids’ friends still swoop in, are untrained, and make messes and a racket and are hilarious.
I even rescued a German short haired hunting dog. Fletcher was gun shy and headed for the pound; a friend called, I took the dog. I found him a wonderful home with a bowhunter and mountain bike rider father-and-son team. Noem is a sissy. A sissy with a gun. And a fucking asshole.
I am canceling my NYT subscription immediately. That only leaves me with the Washington Post, as I do not follow news on TV, which is full of commentary and fluff.
Canceled my NYT and happy to see so many people doing the same! I would encourage people to rethink supporting the Washington Post. Except for those in the highest income/wealth brackets, I don't think Jeff Bezos has our best interests at heart. I agree about TV news. I've found channels on YouTube that are much more informative and credible, like Meidas Touch, Brian Tyler Cohen and his frequent guests Glenn Kirschner and Marc Elias, Pod Save America, Robert Reich, The Bulwark, Mary Trump, Heather Cox Richardson, and more that you'll find if you look into these.
My wife had never watched one of these dinners. She picked a pretty good one. Loved the Obama clip with his riff on Celebrity Apprentice. Reminded me that Busey is more mentally stable than the Republican mainstream voter. And much less damaged as a human than their frontrunner.
Friday on Threads, I saw everyone's dog pictures, literally. People I follow and then some. Read stories about their pups lives and passings. I had to log off early because a heart can only take so much.
I did suggest that the dog owners of South Dakota take all of their dog shit and dump it on Noem's porch every day. It's also worth noting that she admitted to killing a goat too. GOAT'S LIVES MATTER!
Jeff, I too canceled my subscription to the NYT, I’d much rather give $$$ to you. Second point is about Governor Noem..it seems in todays GQP it’s all about the crime because that gives you street cred within the party, so I must assume that is the reason why her editors did not remove the dog story from her book… These people are suffering from mass psychosis or in other words…they are fucking crazy…
The NY Times Pitchbot is better reading than the NYT. Imagine being a grown man having a meltdown because the neighbor guy is busy running the country and didn’t have time to be hounded into having a beer.
hey, happy birthday-and-a-half to us. it was 18 months ago, on October 28, 2022, that I started this thing. thank you all for hanging out here with me
And thank you for telling it like it is re NYT. I used to have a subscription and was a faithful reader but they’ve just gone off the rails. And the internet is now an enormous competitor.
I canceled my subscription a while back and use that money to support Jeff and others on Substack.
That’s exactly what I did. One too many NYT-Sienna polls and the usual. I didn’t quite understand until today why NYT was routinely dragging the Biden administration and the President himself. I thought they just wanted to keep the race close out because of their profit motive. Keep those campaign add $$ coming in. But to see our nation jeopardized by Sulzberger’s sheer pettiness? Perhaps NYT aspires to compete with NewsCorp as the TASS of a future Trump administration.
I wonder if Putin funds them, or some other right-wing dipshit?
I cancelled NYT a few months into Biden's inauguration. Totally disgusted that Peter Baker was whining on TV like a spoiled child about POTUS not accepting interview requests. Can anyone else imagine what Joe Biden walked into on Day One, Day 30, etc? We the public will probably never know what crises (plural) dfg left behind.
I remember that the Covid-19 pandemic was in full swing after having killed over a million Americans due to Shitler's lies, the economy was in freefall, and everyone hated us.
Unfortunately, I also remember that. I also remember very nearly having a nervous breakdown requiring a trip to the Nervous Hospital for the four years prior to Joe Biden's inauguration.
Me, too--yesterday, after reading the Politico story (that made it all make sense). Gave it as my reason for cancelling, too.
Also!
Agreed!
Me, too!
I canceled too. I found it to downplay outrageous and anti democratic Behavior. I hope the paper js boycotted. they surely deserve it.
I jumped in & cancelled my subscription to the NYT this afternoon.
My online subscription was only $4 weekly but I canceled a while back and get the Associated Press free every day all day for any “real” news sans opinions.
Me too, and WaPo who has followed the no investigative reporting trend, the Times set.
I can't even remember why I cancelled. It wasn't any one thing; I think it was a cumulative disaffection. WAPO, too.
Yep. I canceled mine too.
This is directed at Jeff.
Jeff, then my million dollar question is why the fuck doesn’t Biden take an interview with the New York Times in the first place? Why the fuck answer me this? If he had done it from the beginning this wouldn’t be a, excuse me using your favorite lexicon, a FUCKEN deal. This is why Biden is so up his own ass. He will risk losing this because of his own stupid fucken stupid out of touch personality. Let me include and cross pollinate a piece I wrote yesterday from my own blog.

Is this Deja vu all over again? I think there is a growing chance that massive protests will break out on the streets of Chicago. Joe Biden is being rightfully cast as the ‘Mr. Jones’ of this commentary for not reading the tea leaves and for giving Israel any armaments it requests to continue the slaughter of innocent people who only have wanted a place to live unhindered.
I was 15 years old in 1968 and even as a young person, I ruminated why the anti-war movement was destroying the very political party that contributed so much to civil rights legislation and related causes. Is Joe Biden our modern Lyndon Baines Johnson? Perhaps you should ask yourself this question.
according to the mediaite.com story I linked to, Joe Biden is annoyed at the Times' reporting on Hunter Biden
Plus, the Times is a piece of shit now. That’s good enough for me.
But you know, in politics you need to put bruising aside for the greater good of the program. Oh, so since they did that, I’m gonna do this shit to get back at them. That’s sure bet for a pending loss. I get what you said but still stupid. And we are not just talking about just another important we can’t lose this one election. No, WE CANT LOST THIS FUCKEN ELECTION DO YOU UNDERSTAND. WE CANT LOSE THIS FUCKEN ELECTION. And little Joey Biden doesn’t want to talky to the Times because of… shit fuck “I’m mad at this I’ll get them back even if it means losing my election. Watch how satisfying it will be to lose knowing I fucked with the great New York Times.”
Now Senior Jeff, you should hire me to write when you are under the weather. Ha… ha…
Billy, you need to learn how to spell, use apostrophes, and what the difference is between “Señor” and “Senior”. I can’t believe you actually publish material that you expect people to take seriously. Ha … ha … not. 🙄
But… but… I don’t want you to take it seriously. Seriously. It’s no longer my fault it’s Apple’s Fault and it’s AI. I absolve myself. And if you are a teacher, do give me a flunking grade. And btw, during grade school days, the spelling teams never wanted me on their teams but the last choice was usually me. Senorita.
With all due respect Bill, I’d just stay with your own blog. 🙄
That’s why we are all full of opinions. I was never a cheerleader and don’t intend to be one now. I call it like I see it. And, in general not directed at you, it’s too bad more folks don’t get it.
I agree. We MUST win this election, and more, but you lost me when you descended into useless humorless insults.
I only wish you could understand how… well, my title says it all, Mr Jones.
Didn't even read it all. #NotYourBlog
Do you really think an interview with Biden will help him? The Times will ask questions about his age, Hunter, alleged payments from China and Ukraine, Afghanistan, Gaza? Do you think the Times will make it flattering? Will they enumerate his many accomplishments? No. So why should he give them the opportunity to denigrate him? They just want to show Biden as an inept person who has done nothing for the country. No way should he do an interview.
I agree! There are plenty of other places Biden can speak with.
As he should, but isn't.
He just did a live interview with Howard Stern, it's the shitty treatment and the entitlement of the Times.
An interview would have more impact in the last two months of the campaign than it would now.
Taking a beat, I recommend everyone listen to Michelle Wolf's 2018 White House Correspondence Dinner performance. 19 minutes of bravery and brilliance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDbx1uArVOM
Net: EVERYONE knew in 2018 exactly what Trump, the Republicans (ruthless) the Democrats (not ruthless enough) and the media had going on.
As for the NYT, appreciate that, as Michelle Wolf pointed out: "The media love Trump. He's made you a lot of money."
Could it be that NYT knows that a second term of Biden is an end of Trump news? That we will have coverage of his criminal trials, but the minutiae of back and forth bartering dates, times, places and conditions of these trials will be so drawn out as to cease to draw the crowds an angry and potent Trump does? Hmmm?
🎯They have taken every opportunity to screw him over, publishing every breathless republican lie about his son.
And that crap is despicable. As the mother of a son who had addiction problems, who eventually died of a heroin overdose in 2008, I understand the heartache of seeing your child fall down that hole, & trying everything you can to throw him a lifeline.
It’s just so lowlife of the nyt & the republicans to drag his son into their torment of Biden. Shame on them all
Lamorindalinda,
I’m with you 🎯
Superior people like the NYT like to disparage people just to show who's in charge. Unless I knew and trusted the reporter, I would not give an interview to the NYT.
Not to mention Maga Maggie Haberman. Journalists should be neutral. If not, reassign them to the obituaries.
She's made a career (even though she's a legacy because her dad Clyde was well respected there.) out of her mom being connected to trump's spox.
🎯🎯🎯❤️They never forgave the Clintons for being self-made, and from Arkansas. They made all thost trust-fund babies feel lazy.
But he could always choose someone to his liking instead of making enemies where they shouldn’t be.
Maybe Sulzberger wouldn't let him. That would be letting Biden control the narrative. The interview would have to be somewhat critical to show that the NYT is so very independent.
🎯
Maybe maybe not. We forget that these well, all news companies are for-profit. And without a doubt, the Times wants to increase its base. And you don’t do it by being a Fox company. They make no pretense to being objective. Except they do toss into some shit a few intelligent writers just to give some semblance to legitimacy. That’s the way things work, I’m afraid. Our side doesn’t own the Times. I wasn’t aware of this mess. I do suscribe and I will now let them know my opinion and the desire to end subscription after it ends.
Also, busy actually being a President and mot just golfing and crying in front of cameras.
Apparently running a country is time consuming?
Also the NYT has been trash for 150 years. They used to report the whole Hitler thing would blow over.
Won't give them the satisfaction and gravitas their pouting publisher so obviously craves.
Good.
Why should Biden be at the beck and call of the NYT's oligarchic head, when he does not even have a decent paper? Should Biden also be at Elon Musk's beck and call? Moscow Times? TASS? Putin is buddies with Hamas. Putin is buddies with Netanyahu! Putin is buddies with Iran. Do you see the people that are getting an edge on this? Not the people of any of their countries and it certainly has distracted everyone from Ukraine. Or, so Putin thought. Here is a YouTube recording of Katie Couric and Anne Applebaum's discussion organized by Big Tent. https://youtu.be/TjAXwkKJ3Fk?si=QIIQO-CojmYbveu5
Ms. Applebaum rightfully points out the role that Biden is playing in the Middle East is more nuanced than outsiders can see.
Linda I was just thinking about what you wrote before I read it. Sulzberger is ready to grease the slide of fascism because of the pity party he is having for himself. Doesn’t respect have to be earned? Or be a two way street?
He thinks his money will insulate him from the fall-out, he is contributing to.
Sulzberger thinks like a spoiled rich boy, which is unrealistic. Let him call Howard Stern and ask how he got a Biden interview. I am no longer suffering from his temper-tantrum because I no longer read his rag!
Bill, why do you think that’s a million dollar question? The NYT is right wing crap. There’s your million dollar answer.
I don’t subscribe to that. If my business is chosen to be a vendor, I’ll be attending the democratic convention. I’ll observe from the inside. If the protests materialize on the streets of Chicago, then Biden could only hope for something real be happening caused by the loss of Roe.
Don’t subscribe to what? Re-read what you wrote. Makes no sense.
I could fix it but I’m too busy with other stuff. Thanks for pointing out.
I was 13 in 1968. Democrats lost the election for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the tendency of American voters to favor "tough talk" over thoughtful discourse.
Student protesters in the 1960s wanted the war to end because they didn't want to kill or be killed. They were not calling for the extermination of Vietnam.
If Trump even has a place on the ballot in November, it won't be because President Biden didn't play nice with the Times, but because too many of us are too stupid to get out of our own way.
The story about Sulzberger explained everything. That apple didn't fall far from the tree.
I also used to have a NYT subscription, but this election it has turned my stomach like one of Treacherous-treasonous-traitor-Trump's speeches, which I also tune out unless they are fed to me by Jeff with his totally hilarious take on them when it can be mustered up. I no longer support the oligarchic-treacherous-tantruming-traitor Sulzberger's paper.
I canceled my news subscription a few years ago bc of their b.s. I thought my little Games and Cooking subscriptions were insignificant, and now I feel naive as I'm hearing how much those subscriptions support the company. Canceled, all of them!
18 months...gosh, I think I've read them all. Thank you for uplifting essays that make us think...and especially laugh!
I think I have too! Jeff’s column is the only way to start the day in order to get through this shit show! 🫶🏼
The absolute truth. In all my life, I NEVER thought we would witness our society being this fucked up. 😂 Humor definitely helps with a like minded group as Jeff has assembled here.
no — you folks assembled yourselves, and that's awesome. when I started this thing, I figured that a few people might enjoy reading it, but I never suspected it would attract a community. what a happy accident!
You are respected and loved, man. Keep up the amazing work!
A happy accident for us! Thank you, sir! Couldn’t start my day without you and this group of like minded, potty mouthed people! 🤭✌️
Amen Joanne! I’m all in on this narrative— swearing just adds some extra weight to the retrumplican shitshow we are commenting on!
Here here to happy accidents!!! May this happy accident result in a happy election result for this wonderful community! Putting those vibes out there for the universe to absorb and make happen.
happy accident????
Hardly an accident—it's like attending 1/2 hour Woodstock every day.
Lol! It kinda is!😂
Yes!!!!
Well, I am one of huge numbers of people who enjoyed your tweets as they were forwarded for my enjoyment. (I never got on twitter and now I'm glad I never did.) I figured your substack would be worth my time and I'm delighted I found this to be true. We NEED points of view like yours, Jeff. Sometimes the only way to cope with the pain of this time is through humor. Please keep up the good work.
Jeff, you have been my therapist through these "interesting" times.
You said it !!!!!

As a history professor, my mind is completely boggled; has this fucking world not learned one gd thing? No! We fucking haven’t! My gaaaaaaaaawwwwwwd! Anyway, hope Philly is nice Susan!🫶🏼
I hear ya! People need to understand what's at stake here. Philly? It's a great town! Plus, we had beautiful weather today! 👍
It's where I head after deleting all the rest of the news, and I now make sure I pass on the nyt junk mail first. Then I smile when I see Jeff's name...and I keep smiling while I read all of my fellow followers of the SAGE OF OUR TIME! Thanks, JT!
Seriously
Jeff you get me through!!!!!!
Jeff, I really didn't believe the Sulzberger pile of **** when I first read about it, but you have the receipts. Thanks for researching this story for all of us!
BTW, you are not allowed to slow down, get old, or sober up. At least not before the election.
When Biden wins, I want us to fund a trip for you and Ms. Spouse to your dream destination. You just have to send us a lot of postcards. A few pictures of you drunk on a beach would also be appreciated.
...and if the election gets stolen by Trump, you can island hop for awhile with half of America. Thanks for keeping the jests coming. Eases the pain!
It’s a pleasure Jeff!! Thanks for being here!!
Jeff, Your blog is the only place where the gloves are off. The preposterous "let's all pretend we live in normal times and Trump is a valid candidate" is obliterated by you daily with a ferocious clarion call to stop with the craven niceties and ensure we are not going to sit by sipping our tea while the orange ogre and his minions violate our world. No, sir. From informative to hilariously cathartic, your blog rocks my world. Thank you!!!
Dude, we are not just hanging out here with you, this is much needed for many of us every morning… So thank YOU for doing this every day, of all the money I spend in my life, this is money well spent for me!
I cancelled my subscription to NYT the day after the 2016 election. I'll be damned if I will give money to a paper dedicated to giving free publicity to the Mango MAGAt.
They gave him millions of dollars in free coverage, and slammed Hillary constantly over Benghazi hearings, when even Kevin McCarthgy admitted was just to ding her political aspirations! And that horseshit "Clinton Cash" easily disproved (probably Russian) propaganda they published was a moment of shame for them. I weill never forgive them for those tabloid moves.
Thank you Jeff for providing us with daily updates about Republicans and their agenda.
For making it hysterical and giving us video evidence of their actions. I look forward to every morning reading your column and being able to start my day with a smile and a laugh.
You’re one of the the best columnists I have read!
Thanks for telling it like it is.
Internets Bestest Loudmouth.
🥳🥳🥳
So glad you started this Jeff! It’s helped a lot of us laugh out loud at our insane situation.
Not a problem. You keep things (sorta)light while delivering killer messages. As long as you can hang in Jeff, your grateful readers will hang right there with you.
You are welcome. Many more.🎉🎉
Jeff iam so grateful for your substack you lift my spirits everyday ❤️ happy Birthday and a half!!!
Keep it up. So appreciate someone with integrity to "say it like it REALLY is!"
The NYT....UGH. They have slid into the shitter, no doubt. I love that Biden decided to have a chat with Howard Stern...a nice "Fuck you" to the Times. Glad I canceled that rag. The dog killer news is everywhere and at least people on both sides can agree this is a heinous act of a sociopath. Whatta crazy bitch...she's done now (I hope). And Good Riddance.
Serious question, term limits aside, do you think this behavior will help get Noem re-elected?
Let’s not forget, Republicans are pet lovers too. My Republican neighbors (both sides) have pets. We hang out and tell funny pet stories, talk about stuff. We never talk politics and I know this kind of thing would make them physically ill.
And trump hates dogs. She’s in the correct party. They love tyranny when they do it. Murdering “god’s creations” when they do it….
Trump's flawed failsons posed with dead exotic animals, like cruelty runs in the family.
Posed with the murdered elephant's tail and the bloody knife that cut it off. Sick sick sick twisted fucks.
Yes, I feel sick just remembering those photos. Elephants are such majestic creatures, I can't imagine how warped you must be to want to kill one.
A person has to have psychopathic issues to cruelly slaughter animals for no reason than to fluff their egos. The entire trump mob family are empty, egotistical, unqualified for any job, violent terrorists.
That is so gross. I have been fortunate enough to go to South Africa to a safari camp, got to see a huge herd of elephants up really close. They are magnificent. When we drove out to find the lions, 2 females with 3 cubs, & just before dusk they walked right past the jeep; I just cried. I just couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to kill them.
The only time Trump mentions the word "dog" is as an insult. He's a dog-hating psychopath.
Precisely!
Someone on here said that one of the most horrible ppl on Xitter, a big nasty-mouthed MAGA, Catturd, is pissed at her over the animal cruelty
Well aware of Catturd. You could knock me over with a feather that Catturd is upset. Too bad the outrage is absent when human beings are beaten to death.
I'm not at all agreeing with the "both sides" viewpoint for this cruelty to animals issue.
> Riddle me this: why is the RNC fundraising off of it?
> Why was Sarah Palin flying around in a helicopter with a rifle?
A: The MAGAs LIKE VIOLENCE.
Here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/comments/9h1y83/helicopter_hunting_with_sarah_palin_2008_colorized/?rdt=38267
Let's hope the puppy killing VP wannabe is done although not much seems to phase the MAGA loving asswipes. The NYT should be putting disturbing news like this front and center but they could give two shits about all of the non-stop GOP wrongdoings of their cash cow. Just like CNN reporting that 55% saw Emperor Diaperload's presidency as favorable even after 1/6 and he is still in the lead among voters. How the hell is that even possible?
That's what I think too. I don't believe it, %55 is way way off. More like %15 I would say. Average normal reasonable people who think of themselves as Republican DO NOT support trumpf anymore. Maybe in 2016 but not after Jan6. Even if they voted for him in 2020 his behavior after he lost appalled them. And I believe most of them are normal average people. It's just that the yahoos being the loudest and most visible make tfg's support seem magnified. His rally audiences have been shrinking, 2 pathetic protesters at his criminal trial, even FOX disparages him. CNN is full of bullshit or they're just plain idiot "journalist" poll takers. I'll show them my pole, which they can shove straight up their poll's ass.
IDK, tonight, Sunday, I watched CNN “The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper” It was the reporter with the Scottish accent reporting on misinformation, Trumpism, & Christian Nationalism. He started with a few Evangelical pastors who are trying to get their flock back to the real teachings of Jesus.
As you said, they are louder, but he profiled the J6 rioter who served time & is now running for the House & he’s downright scary!!
He went to a maga gathering in Las Vegas & talked to a few supporters, & man, those people are just unreachable & super committed.
I hope you’re correct that there aren’t that many of them, but they are fucking terrifying.
There’s just no end to the violence that can be committed by religious zealots who firmly believe they are the army of god. I’m definitely worried.
Rick-It isn’t possible. That’s why right wingers have purchased virtually every source of major media. This is as big of a concern as trump himself. There aren’t enough REscumliCons ro get 50-50 with Democrats. So they print the lies for people to hear often enough that they start buying into it. Never repeat their BS, their BS polls etc. It’s put out there to support their big loser, orange shit-stain.
Flawed poll questions.
I couldn’t sleep last night with that mentally disturbed person’s actions swirling around my brain. I cannot even fathom the depths of depravity it requires to do such an unconscionable act.
Same. I think about my two back on the farm. 😭
💔💔💔
They don’t care that you cancelled. Story time. In my town of Hartford, our daily once began to do unsolicited drops of advertising pages. Much of this sat in front of our houses for days. It became litter. I called the circulation department and asked them to stop. Of course they ignored me. I then called the publisher with the same request. Again, they ignored me. My last letter hard copy to the publisher of The Hartford Courant indicated that if they didn’t cease, I would collect this trash and bring it to their front doors and toss it, take a video stream for social media, and call a press conference in front of the building. Guess what happened? They ended the litter being tossed on our properties. That’s the only way you can motivate them. I was banned from comments on the WaPo years ago for stating that I would crap on the steps of the Capital when Trump was laid in state. What can I say.im emotional and expressive just like I’ve been here.
Now that, the crapping on the steps of the Capitol thing, I can get behind
I would have thumbed up your comment had I seen it there. I dropped them as soon as they cozied up to the forced-birthers.
Thank you Fairy Godmother.
I joke about starting a tour bus to go around to Scalia, and rushbo's graves once I get everyone to drink a keg of beer for ammunition! Dancing is optional.
" I’m a grown man running against a six-year-old.” OMG, BESTEST LINE EVER!!!!!!
Yes, yes, yes!
Omg, 26 years running a dog rescue, I can't speak about that brain dead bitch.
The NYT is ghastly, I have ditched my online subscription and hope others do as well.
Kudos to Howard Stern for his Joe Biden interview. I was moved beyond words.
Totally mishandled dog. Huge fail on her family and then the killing. Hate that bitch.
https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1784039763747742060
"“Dog owners know our furry friends can be a lot to keep up with. But when those tough moments come, you have options. Shooting your dog in the face should not be one of them. And if you do happen to shoot your dog in the face, please, don’t write about it in your autobiography.”
This short video pseudo PSA from the Lincoln Project is tidy. I wish they had been more explicit that Noem was the inspiration.
That is powerful.
nailed it…she is definitely a non-human…being! GROSS BEHAVIOR… and I know FARM life…it’s about survival and HELPING our fellow animals. She is NOTHING but a pos, just like her drump leader.
Agree 100%.
Howard Stern also did a great interview with Hillary Clinton that’s worth watching. It’s available on YouTube.
Yes, he respects her greatly and called her his "white whale" the elusive interview he always wanted to do.
I find it hard to believe that "Shock Jock" Howard Stern did a serious interview. I haven't seen him in years.
Stern's book "Private Parts" changed my view of him permanently. There's more to the guy than the radio schtick.
💯💯💯
Yes, and his last book had some of his best interviews.
Saw a short Howard Stern clip. He was wearing a suit. Gutsy move for Biden. HS didn't ever off into his misogenistic juvenile idiocy. Biden reached million of people.
I still need to check out his interview with Biden and will look for his interview with Hillary Clinton. I do love his response to people criticizing him for being woke:
“By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m woke. I’ll tell you how I feel about it. To me the opposite of woke is being asleep. And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you fucking want. I’m not for stupidity, you know. I ran out Friday morning. I was over at CVS. Thank you, CVS. I went over there 9 a.m. and got myself that new vaccine for COVID. Fucking science. This fucking country is so great… I am woke, motherfucker, and I love it. I want to be awake. I want to read legitimate news sources. Here’s how woke I am. I believe the election was not rigged. I am woke. I think that’s a compliment.”
Read his last book ",Howard Stern comes Again" is a book of his best interviews over the years, it is a good read. He tells of the years of therapy he had, to realize why he was such a jerk. Now he interviews people with respect.
He’s obviously mellowed with age
https://youtu.be/ePPzF0YOK9o?si=39-doMD-lLV0b3wu
I can’t see the video you linked to. Question: “I am woke, motherfucker, and I love it. I want to be awake. - Howard Stern” Bumper sticker material?
Howard is a wonderful interviewer after all those years of therapy to stop being a jerk.
“I don’t want to talk about it. the details are out there if you need to know.
I just want to highlight how insane it is that one political party has sunk so low that it now believes it’s a good thing to brag about being a dog murderer.”
You don’t want to know. I can’t get it out of my head.
With all the other crap going on, especially the treatment of women by the christofascist MAGAt Party formally known as the GOP, this puppy murdering bitch bragging about shooting her puppy in the face because she “hates that dog” is the last straw. Or at least it should be.
And the goat. Don’t forget that she also murdered a goat in the same fashion because it was smelly.
She is a serial murderer!
She will fit right in as Herr Dictator LDFF’s henchman.
Vote blue for god and country and puppies everywhere!
These people would take the nickels off their dead mother's eyes. Then kick a 3 legged dog and blame the dog. In her case, just shoot the fucking dog. That woman has more plastic in her face than a 3M plant.
LOL!!! Lisa59, Nickels off their dead mother's eyes. OMG. There is no bottom for them.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😂😂
And evidently, she is showing no remorse, rather she doubled down to defend her vile behavior by saying they killed three horses on their farm because.... it had to be done. Where is PETA in all this?
No remorse. Doubling down. Raising money off of it.
And now we find out there are more? Three horses? Really?
I hope that someday she is executed by firing squad.
Does she have children that might have been attached to these animals?
And the puppy. I keep thinking about the puppy that was shot for……being a puppy.
A firing squad is too much trouble. Just drag her hideous ass to the gravel pit and shoot her in the fucking head.
"Noem responded by doubling down. “We love animals,” she said, “but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down three horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.” The governor also promised “more real, honest and politically incorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping”.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/27/kristi-noem-trump-vp-book-killing-dog#:~:text=Noem%20responded%20by%20doubling%20down,our%20family%20for%2025%20years.”
God, and we thought what's-her-name from Iowa was being all "rugged farm wife" talking about castrating pigs. Remember her?
No shit!😡😡
Hoping she’s executed….can’t think of a more appropriate reciprocation. These nut cases are deadly monsters who threaten everyone who is not in their club. Time to exercise punishments!
Yes, her 8 year old daughter (at the time) asked where the goat was when she came home from school. I assume she got them the goat as a small, cute, pet.
Yeah she never heard of getting a vet to painlessly euthanize a sick animal?
I think they have made a statement, & a local humane society is urging LE to file charges.
PETA is almost as bad. How about the Humane Society? Probably doesn’t exist in SD though. But does anyone remember this?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/25/us/politics/trump-animal-cruelty-bill.html?smid=url-share
And it’s a NYT article too.
I saw a comment on Twitter put up by one of the sane Republicans; he said Noem probably calls Trump Old Yeller. I thought that was hilarious! 😂 And if you take that theme just a little further, she’s not kind to stinky old goats either. He should be very afraid of her. 😁
Trump's motto: "No one crazier than me allowed in the White House!"
And if there’s anyone who is a stinky old goat, it’s Ole Yeller Smeller himself.
She's probably willing to shoot people too, like political opponents and democratic voters. She's a psycho, fatal attraction style!
That's a given.
All the news that’s fit to shit.
HAHA!
It might not be fit to even wrap fish.
Liner for the cat box/birdcage
Nailed it, Mike!
😂😂😂
THE NYT HAS LOST SO MUCH CREDIBILITY.
Michael, make that The NYT has lost all credibility!
Kristi Noem slaughtered a puppy. she fucking bragged about it in a book. Her admission of this confirms that there is no bottom to her profound ignorance.
That's what all maga would like to do to problematic mishandled things like the homeless, old people, etc just shoot them in the face in a ditch. Truly.
Yes. The reason we think that is because over and over that's what they've told us they want to do and are planning on how to do it.
Suggested reading: Miles Taylor's "Blowback"* on this topic. Miles is the author formerly known as "ANONYMOUS," who wrote "A Warning" in 2019, a year which seems like it happened decades ago.
(*Not to be confused with Chalmers Johnson's 2000 work, "Blowback", part of his Empire trilogy.)
Her ignorance and pathology. That dog and goat gunning down episode does not suggest a stable mind. Anger management must have failed for Kristi the puppy killer.
My mom wondered what she would do if one of her kids becomes “untrainable” or she doesn’t “like” them anymore? 🤷🏻♀️
Gee Timmy, you wet the bed one time too many, off to the gravel pit for you...
Edited to add /s
Wouldn’t be surprised. 🙄
Not one damn bit!
What’s she going to do when Dumbass farts up a storm when they’re discussing the 2024 Repugnant presidential campaign? (Blam!!!) “Ha, ha, ha! Now I’m the Repugnant presidential candidate!”
She brushed it off by saying that that is just what happens on a farm. Not any farm or ranch that I’ve ever been on.
My grandparents owned a farm. Never saw that kind of ruthless terror.
Profound cruelty!
They seem to love it. When it is said that TFG brings out the worst in people by being their avatar, there are no guard rails- and there will be none if the American people sleepwalk into giving him a lifetime appointment to dictatorship.
Someone should slaughter her cruel, dispicable, fd up pos!!! 🤬
"and now there's fewer than 73 signed copies left!”
Too bad that's from a print run of 100.
And her family bought the 27 that were gone.
HAHAH!!
Good one!
😂😂😂😂
😂
Gosh, my kids were untrainable. Never occurred to me to take them out to the dump and shoot them for ruining my day. They refused to march around cleaning up their messes, refused to do homework they thought was stupid (I was a teacher, I know stupid, the kids were right), refused to salute me when I came in the door, and would not hunt for slugs in the garden (even at 5 cents bounty apiece.). Here’s to my life: dogs, kids, spouses, grandkids, cousins, kids’ friends still swoop in, are untrained, and make messes and a racket and are hilarious.
I even rescued a German short haired hunting dog. Fletcher was gun shy and headed for the pound; a friend called, I took the dog. I found him a wonderful home with a bowhunter and mountain bike rider father-and-son team. Noem is a sissy. A sissy with a gun. And a fucking asshole.
A sissy with a gun, and a dementia ridden (possibly syphilitic) twitchy- fingered, diapered prezehdent. What could go wrong?
All of this Cassandra!!! Noem is really a fucking asshole!
I am canceling my NYT subscription immediately. That only leaves me with the Washington Post, as I do not follow news on TV, which is full of commentary and fluff.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Canceled my NYT and happy to see so many people doing the same! I would encourage people to rethink supporting the Washington Post. Except for those in the highest income/wealth brackets, I don't think Jeff Bezos has our best interests at heart. I agree about TV news. I've found channels on YouTube that are much more informative and credible, like Meidas Touch, Brian Tyler Cohen and his frequent guests Glenn Kirschner and Marc Elias, Pod Save America, Robert Reich, The Bulwark, Mary Trump, Heather Cox Richardson, and more that you'll find if you look into these.

Thanks for the recommendation related to the YouTube channels.
And nepo baby Sulzberger doesn't even have the excuse of being OLD to be as stupid as he is.
My wife had never watched one of these dinners. She picked a pretty good one. Loved the Obama clip with his riff on Celebrity Apprentice. Reminded me that Busey is more mentally stable than the Republican mainstream voter. And much less damaged as a human than their frontrunner.
Friday on Threads, I saw everyone's dog pictures, literally. People I follow and then some. Read stories about their pups lives and passings. I had to log off early because a heart can only take so much.
I did suggest that the dog owners of South Dakota take all of their dog shit and dump it on Noem's porch every day. It's also worth noting that she admitted to killing a goat too. GOAT'S LIVES MATTER!
Drown her ass in it.💪
Jeff, I too canceled my subscription to the NYT, I’d much rather give $$$ to you. Second point is about Governor Noem..it seems in todays GQP it’s all about the crime because that gives you street cred within the party, so I must assume that is the reason why her editors did not remove the dog story from her book… These people are suffering from mass psychosis or in other words…they are fucking crazy…
The NY Times Pitchbot is better reading than the NYT. Imagine being a grown man having a meltdown because the neighbor guy is busy running the country and didn’t have time to be hounded into having a beer.
