I am thinking dead-dead which would encompass brain dead. Now, I agree with someone that says Andy Beshear needs to pay a visit before August 3, after which it will be too late to replace him.
I just love the way you love your wife. I love the humanity of your photos of her. We need more humanity. Thank you.
We love the Claudia pictures . . . it seems like in the first few weeks following her death, it may have been difficult and painful for Jeff to be looking through them to post.
But pretty soon he realized that he was sharing his Ms. Spouse photos with a community who wants very much to join him in recognizing and celebrating her wit and intelligence and her very interesting and creative life.
A touch of decency, humanity and joy.
In contrast to the god-awful shitpile that trump and his minions are dishing out.
You know he's given me a whole new reason to snap a picture of my wife when she isn't looking, she doesn't like to be photographed, so there that. I find myself doing it when I can without her noticing.
Beautifully said. Ms. Spouse was a rare guest star in Jeff's columns before, and the few tidbits we got always made me curious to learn more about this interesting lady, especially her wit. I'm sad that she has passed, and the world seems a lesser place without her, but it's all the more reason to celebrate all that she was.
hey - McConnell being out means one less republican in the Senate. I'm good with that. Let's not replace him with another Republican who can actually vote.
Did you not know jeff, Trump said Platner didnt rape anybody.
The Emotionless DickSwaddled Support President of these United States looked at a camera and mused that a woman accusing a man of rape might just be a fucking liar (E Jean Carroll are you listening?) — the same man he'd called a fuck pig four weeks earlier, back when the pig was useful. The heat is real. The cruelty is a choice.
Trump belongs to the rather large group of men in the world who view women and girls down to little girls, as existing a the whim of men, and therefore there is no such thing as rape, just taking what you want.
Rick Wilson says he has insider info that he is alive but that his actual condition is unknown to the insider. He could be brain dead and on life support, like Schrodinger's cat.
"The neighbor said they learned from another eyewitness who saw the individual’s face that the person on the stretcher was McConnell and he was not wearing an oxygen mask."
The first responders didn't seem to be in much of a hurry, either. Like they had basically given up on him already.
How about the pinch test? Were there coins over his eyes? That's usually a clue. Was there a strong smell of air freshener around the stretcher? Like I commented before, not merely dead but most sincerely dead?
Normally I’d say have a little respect but no. Mitch inflicted this SC and this idiot of a president on us. I hope someone outs him as dead soon so they can stop playing this little game of weekend at Bernie’s
The “Lewinsky Room” full of MAGA hats and Florsheims is the whole presidency in miniature: a tacky little gift shop inside a national nervous breakdown. Foreign leaders are workshopping texts in toddler syntax, renaming ceasefires “stop the killing,” calling sanctions “tariffs,” and trying not to trigger the man who might throw a tablet because Zoom hurt his feelings. This is not diplomacy. It is global babysitting with nuclear risk. America sent the world a president, and the world had to learn hostage negotiation, brand management, and daycare voice.
What a gratuitously snide act to impress a German delegation that gives zero shits about Clinton or Lewinsky. Shitler has regressed to the hopelessly evil teen stage that got him packed off to military reform school.
Yep. I can't fucking stand it. I get the strategy, but it's not going to help. I really hope Mark Carney doesn't stoop to this level. Canada needs all hands and elbows on deck. Per Charlie Angus, we're still in danger of being annexed by a meth lab. Holy shit.
Kay, Easy as 1 2 3, and I love the EU mocking now they are trying to be as non-sensical as dear fuckhead and for the educated folks it helps them try out being insane for a laugh and a learning experience. Another one brain dead, they are dropping like flies.
Monica Lewinsky walks in to the dry cleaners. The old man behind the counter is hard of hearing and doesn’t understand her request so he says “come again” Monika responds.. “No, this time it’s mustard”.
I'm grateful for the memories of Claudia that you share.
Everyday I think perhaps we've hit the floor in the basement and that it would be impossible for the criminally corrupt organization leading our nation to sink lower (and take all of us with them). The Roberts Court continues to greenlight every anti-democracy tool in the pedo criminal elect's toolbox. Today, the firing of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/us/politics/trump-fires-election-assistance-commission-members.html).
The it's not a war closing the Strait of Hormuz again. Greenland, Cuba, and now Spain in the sights of the criminal elect. A DOJ still breaking the law by not releasing the Epstein Trump Maxwell files (remember when pedophilia and abuse used to be frowned upon?) ICE back to murder and mass arrests. Mitch McConnell now appearing daily as Schrödinger's cat. And let's make sure we give Mitch the same respect he provided for Justice Ginsburg when he announced there will be a Senate vote on a nominee two hours after her passing. F-him.
I'm disgusted beyond belief while clinging to the hope that the 80 million plus eligible voters who did not vote in 2024 (or were precluded from doing so (https://bomdia.substack.com/p/the-architecture-of-voter-suppression), understand this is our very last chance to hold this group of incompetent corrupt sociopaths accountable for crimes against all of us and humanity.
Whew -thanks everyone. I feel (slightly) better now.
We never hit bottom with this regime, with new distractions every day. What’s next? We need smart leaders to anticipate unprecedented evil from “it” & company. “it” might re-create a worse version of the “Patriot” Act, which attempted to take away our rights of privacy, free speech and dissent in the wake of 911, to support war.
We CAN demonstrate.
We CAN call our Representatives.
We CAN support the ACLU, which legally fights for our rights.
For now, we can still VOTE!
And encourage young people to take part. It’s theirs to inherit.
I wouldn’t put it past these ghouls to leave McConnell in a freezer until August 3. Even more vile would be if he’s on life support, rotting in the ICU. Oh and by the way, his wife is a piece of work, too.
Well, shoot, now I have a fantasy of sailing my tablet across the room and hitting Donny in the neck, just like OddJob in Goldfinger. Tacky enough that he has a Lewinsky room, but the Florsheims take it to a whole other level of kitsch. This administration is a fucking nightmare.
Back in his first term I was among the people who thought that the Trump presidency was the most elaborate performance art ever created by comedian Andy Kaufman.
The acedote about the MAGA merch also reveals Trump's infuriatingly condescending misogynism. The world leaders' little ladies, who have nothing better to do, can make themselves useful and sell the merch for their men, and especially for King Don- biggest ape of them all.
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
"McConnell was loaded into ambulance on a stretcher, according to eyewitness and new video"
https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/10/politics/mitch-mcconnell-video-stretcher-ambulance
oh yeah, he's dead or brain-dead, one or the other
I am thinking dead-dead which would encompass brain dead. Now, I agree with someone that says Andy Beshear needs to pay a visit before August 3, after which it will be too late to replace him.

And a shout out thanks to Jeff on that.
This makes me very happy. Too many of us will leave their children with only memories, and nothing physical to remember us by.
❤️
Beautifully said. Ms. Spouse was a rare guest star in Jeff's columns before, and the few tidbits we got always made me curious to learn more about this interesting lady, especially her wit. I'm sad that she has passed, and the world seems a lesser place without her, but it's all the more reason to celebrate all that she was.
Especially since she was both a wonderful friend and also a Badass!
hey - McConnell being out means one less republican in the Senate. I'm good with that. Let's not replace him with another Republican who can actually vote.
Yep. He’s dead. He’s a goner. Filed and forgotten.
Yeah but, an ambulance to where? And are we sure he's not just UN-dead, like live bat Miller?
Read this article by Jay Kuo. The Aug 3 date might not apply in this case
https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/a-political-death-and-maybe-the-real?r=4wrjn&utm_medium=ios
"McConnell’s 'health did not warrant an immediate return [by his wife] to the U.S.'”
I guess if someone's dead, why bother
Did you not know jeff, Trump said Platner didnt rape anybody.

https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-trump-said-platner-didn-t-rape-anybody-like-trump-never-raped-anybody-righ
Trump belongs to the rather large group of men in the world who view women and girls down to little girls, as existing a the whim of men, and therefore there is no such thing as rape, just taking what you want.
They view women and girls as appliances.
…more like toys, things to play with, things to enjoy until they get old … or broken.
That’s the mantra of the GOP. They hate women
Yup!
Keep talking, loudmouthed rage baby, and defame E. Jean again so she can haul your fat ass back into court for another few million. Haha.
I love that EJC said she'd donate the judgment dough to stuff Trump hates, something like TST did with Alito: https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/supreme-courtship
She's an awesome lady
Oh please...oh please...
Love the Heroes and Bright Signals section…
Yeah, thats the positives I try to write in our dailies so that it at least gives us hope.
and thank you for that!!
But of course, he did.
He's definitely not taking 20 minute phone calls.
I don't think they realized the ridiculous twenty minutes is a long effing time
The only thing with Mitch that lasts 20 minutes is the interval between ventilator-pumps
😅😅
Rick Wilson says he has insider info that he is alive but that his actual condition is unknown to the insider. He could be brain dead and on life support, like Schrodinger's cat.
Alive and dead as long as you don't look inside the box, right? haha
Actually, that sounds more like Stephen Miller 🦇
If they are just keeping his body alive that's disgusting in unimaginable ways. If you have ever been an ICU nurse you know.
I've heard that they begin to rot and smell.
I see no difference. Between now and 10 years ago.....
Rigor Tortoise
You should really get some sort of prize for that 🏆
"The neighbor said they learned from another eyewitness who saw the individual’s face that the person on the stretcher was McConnell and he was not wearing an oxygen mask."
The first responders didn't seem to be in much of a hurry, either. Like they had basically given up on him already.
The first responders were probably democrats. 🤣
Now now, if MAGA catches wind of that, Mitchgate will explode across the MAGAVerse.
O₂ doesn't help much if you're dead
How about the pinch test? Were there coins over his eyes? That's usually a clue. Was there a strong smell of air freshener around the stretcher? Like I commented before, not merely dead but most sincerely dead?
They weren't moving fast, as if not making any effort to keep working on him...
Plus side - one less Republican vote in the Senate as long as he's theoretically alive!
Normally I’d say have a little respect but no. Mitch inflicted this SC and this idiot of a president on us. I hope someone outs him as dead soon so they can stop playing this little game of weekend at Bernie’s
Maybe he is pining for the fjords…

Are there cigars in the Lewinsky Room?
What a gratuitously snide act to impress a German delegation that gives zero shits about Clinton or Lewinsky. Shitler has regressed to the hopelessly evil teen stage that got him packed off to military reform school.
I wonder if Monica can sue him for defamation
He never grew out of junior high school mentality to begin with
Undoubtedly. They are a potential source of revenue.
Yep. I can't fucking stand it. I get the strategy, but it's not going to help. I really hope Mark Carney doesn't stoop to this level. Canada needs all hands and elbows on deck. Per Charlie Angus, we're still in danger of being annexed by a meth lab. Holy shit.

There goes US hockey just wait until they meet, the gloves will fly.
Nailed it!
Love ya', brotha, hope you have an excellent weekend!
😎👍🌊🌊☮️💯
You know that's probably the first thing he wanted to know about the white house in his first stay, "where's the room Bill got his blowjob."
We’re basically a nuclear-armed laughingstock at this point with a spoiled toddler at the helm.
1. McConnell is most sincerely dead.
2. Donny is most sincerely demented
3. World leaders most sincerely mocking Trump is most sincerely funny
No lies detected. 😎
👏👏👏👏
Kay, Easy as 1 2 3, and I love the EU mocking now they are trying to be as non-sensical as dear fuckhead and for the educated folks it helps them try out being insane for a laugh and a learning experience. Another one brain dead, they are dropping like flies.
Jeff, speaking of Monica ….
Monica Lewinsky walks in to the dry cleaners. The old man behind the counter is hard of hearing and doesn’t understand her request so he says “come again” Monika responds.. “No, this time it’s mustard”.
omg!
🏆🏆🏆
HOLY CRAP! 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
No oxygen on a heart attack victim who was allegedly given CPR? Doesn't sound right to me. Something is fishy, so... nothing new with republicans.
He was already a veggie. No need for oxygen, just watering on occasion
“just waterin on occasion “. hilarious- turtles love water
The ambulance attendants were certainly in no hurry. Maybe they were woke?
You mean democrats? 🤣
Beautiful Claudia pics Jeff ❤️ Yes…a laughing stock we are…have a nice weekend everyone and let’s hope we get to pop our champagne SOON! 😊
Thank you Jeff.
I'm grateful for the memories of Claudia that you share.

Whew -thanks everyone. I feel (slightly) better now.
From the other day. To the tune of Ruby Tuesday:
He has done so much to harm this land
The voters of his state don't understand
Fed Fox right wing crap
Turned into MAGA saps
They won't believe
They've been deceived
Goodbye, Mitch McConnell
You played your crooked games so well
When you croak we hope
You go straight down to hell
He spent his many years in Washington
Trying to stop good from being done
He did his evil best
To grow this MAGA mess
Progress subdued and now we're screwed
Goodbye, Mitch McConnell
Heard you're just a veggie now
When you croak it's overdue
and take trump with you
Excellent -thank you. I can almost hear Mick and Keith now!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Still more brilliance!
Thank you, Jeff, and thank you, George.

Thanks for letting me rant. Love you guys.
Thank you Heather! It’s been said we are stronger together. We’re louder together too!
Yes, we can!
❤️ ❤️ Hang in there George!!
Thank you Tess. :)
The Florsheim shoes crack me up every time. He may as well have given them Buster Browns from Thom McAnn. (And his dog, Tige. Man, I'm old.)
Did you put your feet in the magic machine that showed your bones??!! I loved that 🎊🎉🥰
That thing was awesome.
Me too 🤗
Good thing we have Uncle Jeff.
Considering the daily avalanche of trumpshit that we are subjected to, I commend everyone, including myself, who has avoided becoming a day drinker.
I wouldn’t put it past these ghouls to leave McConnell in a freezer until August 3. Even more vile would be if he’s on life support, rotting in the ICU. Oh and by the way, his wife is a piece of work, too.
Vile is mild. This is the lowest grossest thing. I hope it's not true.
If Trump kicks it before the end of his term, the Mitch horror could be a rehearsal.
Well, shoot, now I have a fantasy of sailing my tablet across the room and hitting Donny in the neck, just like OddJob in Goldfinger. Tacky enough that he has a Lewinsky room, but the Florsheims take it to a whole other level of kitsch. This administration is a fucking nightmare.
MAGA stooge KKKarolying Leavitt will spin this as him inventing a new Olympic sport, the trumptoss.
Back in his first term I was among the people who thought that the Trump presidency was the most elaborate performance art ever created by comedian Andy Kaufman.
My favorite Kaufman skit was his lip-synching to "Mighty Mouse." He also did a great Elvis, so yeah, I can see Trump.
Kitsch, is dopey’s taste well it’s not taste so much as telling us the condition of his brain.
His beautiful pool is always on his addled mind. Is it because it's an extremely visible symbol of his myriad fuckups?
One reason for Pirro to try
And blame some other guy
Is only to connive
About Donny's dumb drive
Before the paint was dry
Maybe I didn't gaze at you
Quite as often as I should
Maybe that guy I hired to paint you
Was just no fucking good
That stupid shade of blue I chose
I was too ignorant to know
Was gonna warm you up so much
And cause all that algae to grow
You are always on my mind,
You are always on my mind
Excellent!
OMG! You’re killin’ me today. This one is just beautiful. I’m wiping away tears.
Yeah, but my apologies to Outlaw Willie
Fantastic post - as usual.
Thanks!
Maybe the first head of a nation to stand up and asks Trump, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" should receive a FIFA Peace Prize?
It's not like FIFA will have to suck up to him after July 19.
Donny does not care if devices cost money. He has never paid for one. We pay or someone gives him theirs! But only the gold ones.
The acedote about the MAGA merch also reveals Trump's infuriatingly condescending misogynism. The world leaders' little ladies, who have nothing better to do, can make themselves useful and sell the merch for their men, and especially for King Don- biggest ape of them all.
