Yeah, the nightmares about that poor puppy were added to the continued nightmares of what that wolf endured at the hands of Cory Roberts. I just can’t deal right now.
I cried tears for the puppy and the goat. According to her book her young son (5 years old, I think) came home from school and asked her where the goat was. Just incredibly sad. And beyond disgusting.
I was rage tweeting over on the abominable platform by the stupid name until about 4 am this morning and I was not alone. Sometimes all this stuff just builds and builds and the day after the bought and paid for PsOS on the Supreme Court are seriously entertaining the idea that TFG if President has the right to assassinate people he doesn't like AND THEN NOEM- the puppy, goat, and who knows what else-killer brags about the fact that she's got no probs shooting whatever living thing she thinks is expendable!!!,,,I just well and truly have lost it, and I know a lot of other people have as well. THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL MONSTERS!!!
Omg, I already didn’t like the woman, but that crap just frosted it.
I despise cruelty to any animal & even if I had liked her 2 days ago, hearing that story would make me hate her. Shooting the puppy & the goat in the same day, how callous can you get.
I think she must be trying to show Trump how ruthless she can be so he will think she might be tough enough to be his VP. Perfect right, because Trump hates animals.
I had a miserable night over that story. I understand. Then another thing comes out she included in the book about the horses she has "put down" and her bit about dealing with tough things when you run a farm. I am afraid of the next thing I will hear from her diabolical tell-all book. I am already over my limit.
I did, too, and woke up furious. I loathe these people; they embrace cruelty even to the point of bragging and laughing about it. These are not good people by any measure.
Even trump republicans like dogs. I noticed back when I was on Facebook, that the worst, most hateful, trolls who just hated... well, everything good that helped people, all had Dog-rescue person on their profile, which makes me wonder if that is a troll profile for Eastern European trolls.
She’s banned from every reservation in South Dakota. That tells me all I needed to know about her, I thought, until I heard about her murderous rampage.
She says that the Natives are in bed with cartels and made up a gang she called The Ghost Dancers. You have to be familiar with the Ghost Dance to understand what an insult that is to all of us Natives. She’s also saying she’s going to send the National Guard in SD to Texas.
Thx for clarity. How incredibly insulting to Native Americans who are already so marginalized. Monday I'm reporting her murder of dog ❤️ and goat 💙 to CPS of SD. Her children reportedly asked where they (the animals) were after school. Pls join me if you can make that call also.
Don’t forget the goat, she dragged a goat to that hole and slaughtered it too. I think she should pop up to Wyoming and duel with that AH Cory Roberts on snowmobiles. Hoping neither make it out alive. The animal kingdom would breathe a sigh of relief. I am at my wits end with all of this. I’m downing some thc infused sports drink and getting lost in the mountains for several hours.
Since that news hit the interwebs, she is starting to feel the well-deserved blowback from her heinous, gun totin’ actions as well she should. People like that are lower than pond scum. I’m rather surprised she hasn’t shot any of her family members who may have pissed her off. People of SD should do better with their choices for elected office.
Same here. Sharticus continues to keep us entertained with all of his complaining. It has to be one of the worst jobs, to take care of this adult baby!!
I still can't get that out of my head. On one hand, I have the comic thought of the rampaging goat and the dog chasing the wrong kind of birds. You'd see that on America's Funniest Home videos which kids run from the goat and the dog owner yells at the dog "WRONG BIRDS, CRICKET!"
Then you have the Evil Queen put a STOP to all that frolicking by cold bloodedly putting bullets into these animals (animals that are doing what animals do ) because she fucking hates that dog and hates that goat.
And she's so proud of herself. Fucking psycho. Who kills a dog named CRICKET? I also read that her daughter came home asking "where's Cricket?" I didn't read what the answer was.
I don’t know how anyone, even someone with your talent at seeing the humor in the horror, can make Kristi Noem funny. I may need to take a pass on tomorrow because I cannot force myself to read or even think about her anymore. Have a great weekend. See you on Monday.
I come from the school of thought that psychopathy is separated from sociopathy by the capacity for (cruel) violence. Noem ticks all the squares for me... As for that shrieking incel in the video - I would not be surprised at all to learn he is still a virgin.
He's rather proud of being a virgin, actually. Strange bird that he is, (not that anyone should be ashamed of being whatever you are.) But he is amassing a power base by touting virginity and accompanying misogyny as the only male attiude.
Yes, it was an awful week. The videos of cops across the country charging students and professors a peaceful rallies and encampments protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza (Emory University in Atlanta, UT Austin, many more) were horrifying, as were the videos of journalists filming those actions being knocked to the ground, handcuffed and their TV camera crashing to the ground (a Fox News reporter covering the rally at UT Austin). Someone with a mike and video camera asked an older woman being dragged off to a squad car by police who she was. "I'm the chair of the philosophy department at Emory University; please let my department know" she said. Another Emory professor was crying and shouting for the police to stop manhandling the students; she was then thrown to the ground and handcuffed while screaming "let me go -- I'm a professor here." There were also police snipers on rooftops training guns on the crowds at other universities. This is outrageous and these actions should be condemned across the board. As one Syrian immigrant wrote, "This is what the Syrian government did when we were protesting for democracy." The prospect of a Trump presidency is terrifying, but states' use of authoritarian powers is already growing.
Ms. Spouse just reminded me that back when Rudy Colludy was mayor, we were having brunch at a sidewalk cafe at 2nd Ave and 87th St when right in front of us, Rudy got out of a limo and a gust of wind blew his comb-over straight off his bald head. it's a sight burned indelibly into my brain
Then there's Kevin McCarthy's protégé, Republican Kern County Supervisor, Zack Scrivner, who was arrested for attempting to rape his pre teen daughter. Another of one of his kids stabbed him twice to stop the assault. The Republicans are whitewashing with "he had a mental breakdown." Is that what you call it when he's raping his children. Now, Nicky would call him a 'real man.'
Between that and Oklahoma voting on a bill to allow teachers to beat disabled children, the KKK members of the Supreme Court, King Shitpants, Idaho watching women die of pregnancy complications, holy fucksticks I just want to get drunk or high as fuck. To lighten up my morning, I was listening to James McMurtry song, Choctaw Nation. Ode to Oklahoma/Texas meth country. It's hilarious!
Lisa59, This week in news just makes me ill and I need to rant. Rinse, repeat: Democrats must follow the laws and cannot keep up with the Crazy. The enabler Republicans do not need the restraints of law and order, but apparently we need to abide by perfection.
But fuck that. Going forward, we need MORE shock and awe from the Dems. Why or why hasn't Jack Smith gone after Ginni Thomas? Where is the investigation of Alito and Thomas taking bribes? Turn up the heat, already! I'm sure we could come up with a massive list of crimes to dangle out there and scare the shit out of the Crazy.
If we are completely honest, the Crazy have seen ZERO real consequences for their crimes. Hell, Trump put a bogus down payment on his NY fraud conviction and he'll do it again (delay) and again (delay) and again (delay). AG Leticia James won't get a dime. Then over six months will pass and Trump will sell all his stock in Truth Social and pay a pittance, because he'll get someone to agree to nada. Again, NO CONSEQUENCES for Trump. His inner circle? Pardoned and pumped up. Hell, Manafort wants to advise his campaign again. Manafort will probably sport a 50k designer ostrich leather Speedo poolside at Mar-a-Languish just to fuck with the Libs. And if Trump gets elected, he will pardon EVERYONE. Sickening!
I'm so tired of the Dems' inability to recognize that the way things have always been done ain't gonna cut it with Trumpism. Alvin Bragg going to trial is only because the Leonard Leo front let that slip through. It's the weakest case but it provides the fig leaf that Trump had a criminal trial. Hey guys, there couldn't possibly be corruption if a criminal case went to trial...even though they blocked the three biggies, Stolen Docs, Jan 6, and Georgia find me 11,780 votes. THIS IS BULLSHIT.
Meanwhile, Gaza is on the front pages and no one in this country can vote in Israel to replace Netanyahu. No one is arguing that the handling of post Oct. 7th is going well. But the offended youth won't vote for Biden, thereby elect Trump, and ensure Netanyahu never leaves office, commits genocide against the Palestinians, and drags the world into a broader war with Iran. Good, college students. Good work with your virtue signaling and dreaming of a three party system in the USA this election cycle. I was young. We rallied against apartheid in South Africa when I was in college. Regan was all Iran Contra corruption but this offspring of the GOP's decades' long march to autocracy is here on our doorstep and it's fucking madness. This shit just got real and Merrick Garland was the wrong person for the job.
Yes, it is critical to figure out a way to end the power of this rogue Supreme Court, which is dangling our democracy in the balance. Demanding that the justices who took bribes are kicked off the court would be an excellent start.
I feel your pain. Protesting is a necessary function of democracy. No one in their right mind supports Dictator Bibi's crimes in Palestinian. However, screaming death to Jews loses its punch. I wish they were flood our streets with protest for women's rights, against gun violence or the greed inflation, a possible election that if Republicans win we are on our way to an autocratic government. If another middle eastern country did this to Palestinian, would they react the same? I'm not so sure. Then screaming they won't vote for democracy here. Short sighted for sure. Kushner is already ready to turn Gaza into beach front property for the wealthy.
It only took less than 3 years to nail Nixon. Merrick Garland is useless. The goddamn fuckery in our government is rotten to the core. We are compromised. We are corrupted. The enemy is here. And Leonard Leo and the alt-right American Oligarchs will own our fucking asses if people don't get their fat asses off the couch and vote. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Over 51% of the populations education ends at the sixth grade level. Keep them dumb and ignorant is the Republican way. This country is hurling backwards to the 19th century at warp speed. Religious, bigoted, misogynistic mother fuckers.
Lisa, I wonder if the "death to Jews" chant is a deep fake. Many of the leaders, organizers and members of the protests are Jewish, and I have not heard any antisemitic chants in the rallies here in California or the ones I'm watching online. If there are any such chants, that is disgusting and I imagine organizers would confront the chanters immediately. But the protests here are uniting Jews and Arabs as well as people from everything other demographic.
Preach, Lisa59! "Sixth grade education." Holy moly. That is terrifying. I wish all my friends in NYC would stand outside Trump's trial with signs that read: "WAKE UP! Stop Trump NOW!"
Hopefully you can get past the firewall to read the whole thing. Inside the article are quotes from people attempting to normalize what happened: The Sheriff: "“We were responding to what we believed at the time was a suicidal person having a psychotic episode, not any crime,” Youngblood said." Later on you read: "Detectives obtained a search warrant and seized 30 firearms, psychedelic mushrooms, electronic devices and possible evidence of sexual assault in the house, he said." When your own child stabs you because you are raping his sister...yeah. Nothing to see here. I can't wait for the next update of normalization for Kevin McCarthy's boy: Just a man who is stressed out from his divorce but doing a great job as Kern County Supervisor.
McCarthy says the REAL reason Frankengaetz ousted him was because McCarthy refused to stop the investigation into allegations against him. I believe McCarthy (first time I ever have).
They didn't used to be. 1980 changed my mind about voting for most of them. I'm from Vermont, and we had some pretty cool Republicans who did good. George Aiken, for one, who proposed that we just declare victory in Vietnam and bring everyone home. Back in the pre-war 1800s (not sure of the year), a Vermont Congessional member argued so fiercely against slavery that a Georgia rep stated the US should "hire a crew of able-bodied Irishmen to dig a ditch around it and float the damned thing out to sea."
“Sundowning Grandpa Farticus” has such a lovely ring to it! I saw it earlier this week and am just delighted to see it again. Outstanding wordsmithing, Jeff !
Along with that perfect description of Steve Bannon. Rotting sack of maggot-infested entrails had me rolling. Hard to find a more perfect description of that disgusting asshole.
"Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon had been encouraging Kennedy to run for months, believing he could be both a useful chaos agent in the 2024 race and a big name who could help stoke anti-vaccine sentiment around the country, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News' Robert Costa.His push against the COVID-19 vaccine has linked him at times with anti-democratic figures and groups. Kennedy has appeared at events pushing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and with people who cheered or downplayed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
A photo posted on Instagram showed Kennedy backstage at a July 2021 Reawaken America event with former President Donald Trump's ally Roger Stone, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and anti-vaccine profiteer Charlene Bollinger. All three have promoted the lie about the 2020 election being stolen. The photo was posted but later removed by Bollinger, who has appeared with Kennedy at multiple events.
Kennedy has repeatedly invoked Nazis and the Holocaust when talking about measures aimed at mitigating the spread of COVID-19, such as mask requirements and vaccine mandates. He has sometimes apologized for those comments, including when he suggested that people in 2022 had it worse than Anne Frank, the teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp after hiding with her family in a secret annex in an Amsterdam house for two years."
You know, it occurs to me that, if Trump is used to guzzling twelve plus Diet Cokes a day, and they have been suddenly placed out of his reach during court, he is - tee hee - probably suffering from excruciating caffeine withdrawal headaches, boo fucking hoo, as Jeff would say. Cry harder, Grandpa.
Yes, I said that’s couple days ago. Of course he is!! I drink really strong iced tea all the time & if I don’t make a fresh pitcher & go without for 6-8 hrs, I will get a headache.
Without all that caffeine he’s also going to have trouble staying awake
Perhaps the reason Steve Bannon is attacking Jim Jordan is because the guy who protected himself from allegedly covering sexual assaults on team members by the team doctor when Jordan was a coach at OSU, and defied a Congressional Subpoena issued by the J6 Committee (now Chair of the Judiciary Committee) was, with all his attempts to interfere, unable to derail the Leticia James NY lawsuit of the Trump Organization’s Tax Fraud case that resulted in a $454+ million judgement, the Fani Willis GA state prosecution of election interference, and the Alvin Bragg NY case of Business Fraud & Election interference where his master, Trump, is going through his first of four criminal trials.
She already has a boyfriend, abuser Corey Lewandowski who was Donald Trump's first campaign manager, He was let go after a Breitbart reporter said he sexually harassed her then two other women said he had abused them as well.After he was fired he became 'political advisor' to Noem. He then harassed her office workers and finally screwed up by sexually harassing a large GOP donor.
"Corey Lewandowski Loses Top Spot at MAGA Group After Sexual Harassment Accusation.
Corey Lewandowski, once key to Noem's political prominence over the past year, is accused of sexually assaulting a GOP donor. Politico reported Wednesday that Trashelle Odom was touched inappropriately, experienced lewd language and was "stalked" by Lewandowski at an event.
His time as Noem's adviser coincided with high staff turnover within the governor's office.
A political adviser and longtime ally of former President Donald Trump was removed from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem's camp following public accusations of sexual assault.
A former top aide to Noem, Maggie Seidel, said in a Wednesday statement to the Associated Press that she thought it would be "outrageous for her to continue to associate with Corey Lewandowski."...
They probably threatened him to stay with her, if she got exposed in evagelical world as an adultress, her career would be over. Or, maybe they have an open marriage, he has to know she'a crazy highly armed virago.
I am floored by the extent some will go to achieve their dream of sitting at the right hand of trump. New teeth, new hair and killing a puppy. Kristi Noem is as much a psychopath as trump.
"Steve Bannon is what would happen if a rotting sack of maggot-infested entrails became a real boy." 😂😂 What in the hell WAS Steve shouting about? And it's gonna take a team of psychologists to help Nick Fuentes...whatta fucking weirdo. 🙄 I'm still sick to my stomach about Kristi Noem shooting her dog. WTF? These people are vile and inhumane. Trying to shake the whole incident. Try to have a good weekend everybody. ✌️
Okay, today’s post made be laugh so hard, I snorted! But aside from the hilarity, it was also extremely helpful, because I finally understand what’s been missing from my (almost) 33-year marriage. My husband just isn’t rapey enough. And honestly, without the threat of rape, I’ve never been able to truly respect him.
imagine a week so stupid that Kristi Noem slaughtering a puppy doesn't make the cut.
(I'll be writing about her tomorrow)
Can’t wait to read this one. Noem is yet another horrible, repub human.
I actually had nightmares last night after reading what she did to her dog.
Yeah, the nightmares about that poor puppy were added to the continued nightmares of what that wolf endured at the hands of Cory Roberts. I just can’t deal right now.
I completely understand the feeling. 🥰
These sickos who abuse animals should be forced to suffer the same fate.
It would fall right in line with their policy of how they treat women and children (except for fetuses), or so they claim!
🎯🎯🎯
I cried tears for the puppy and the goat. According to her book her young son (5 years old, I think) came home from school and asked her where the goat was. Just incredibly sad. And beyond disgusting.
I was rage tweeting over on the abominable platform by the stupid name until about 4 am this morning and I was not alone. Sometimes all this stuff just builds and builds and the day after the bought and paid for PsOS on the Supreme Court are seriously entertaining the idea that TFG if President has the right to assassinate people he doesn't like AND THEN NOEM- the puppy, goat, and who knows what else-killer brags about the fact that she's got no probs shooting whatever living thing she thinks is expendable!!!,,,I just well and truly have lost it, and I know a lot of other people have as well. THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL MONSTERS!!!
Omg, I already didn’t like the woman, but that crap just frosted it.

I think she must be trying to show Trump how ruthless she can be so he will think she might be tough enough to be his VP. Perfect right, because Trump hates animals.
MAGA is actually trying to raise money off of that fucking book...I mean WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE????
I had a miserable night over that story. I understand. Then another thing comes out she included in the book about the horses she has "put down" and her bit about dealing with tough things when you run a farm. I am afraid of the next thing I will hear from her diabolical tell-all book. I am already over my limit.
Animal lovers aren’t gonna get over this! I hope they drag her thru a mixture of dog, goat and horse shit!!
Yes, it’s evil and horrifying. I cant handle cruelty to animals. And for her son to know she did that just makes it even worse.
I did, too, and woke up furious. I loathe these people; they embrace cruelty even to the point of bragging and laughing about it. These are not good people by any measure.
Cruelty is the point.
I said earlier today that Noem and Trump are a match made in hell-a dog hater and a dog murderer.
Since more people like dogs than like her, it could help end her career.
Even trump republicans like dogs. I noticed back when I was on Facebook, that the worst, most hateful, trolls who just hated... well, everything good that helped people, all had Dog-rescue person on their profile, which makes me wonder if that is a troll profile for Eastern European trolls.
Add Sarah Sanders' brother in there
That whole family is so inbred. Deliverance, anyone?
Insert banjo riff!
I shudder to think what that demonspawn must have done to animals as a kid, such that he never had (or never was allowed to have) a pet.
Well he threw rocks at a baby in a crib, so...
She’s banned from every reservation in South Dakota. That tells me all I needed to know about her, I thought, until I heard about her murderous rampage.
What a horrible person.
Already disliked her, so I don't read about her. Why is she banned from every reservation? Who votes for these hateful, insane people?
She says that the Natives are in bed with cartels and made up a gang she called The Ghost Dancers. You have to be familiar with the Ghost Dance to understand what an insult that is to all of us Natives. She’s also saying she’s going to send the National Guard in SD to Texas.
Thx for clarity. How incredibly insulting to Native Americans who are already so marginalized. Monday I'm reporting her murder of dog ❤️ and goat 💙 to CPS of SD. Her children reportedly asked where they (the animals) were after school. Pls join me if you can make that call also.

Don’t forget the goat, she dragged a goat to that hole and slaughtered it too. I think she should pop up to Wyoming and duel with that AH Cory Roberts on snowmobiles. Hoping neither make it out alive. The animal kingdom would breathe a sigh of relief. I am at my wits end with all of this. I’m downing some thc infused sports drink and getting lost in the mountains for several hours.
Sounds like a good plan, Jodi. I down my gummies by the handfuls these days. 🤪
Me, too. Followed by a whole box of wheat thins.
Same. Gummies take the edge off.
I wanna go!!!
We could sell popcorn!
Pick something else to sell . Profits wouldn’t be good. I’m a popcorn addict! Maybe 🥜 peanuts??
We are too….hmm, peanuts would work. It is a circus soooo
And maybe cotton candy, disguised as the peanut brains wig??
You can run but you can't hide.
Going to do the same.
My God, who kills a dog and then brags about it? That is truly evil.
Clearly a republican
Someone auditioning for most psychotic veep ever. She fits right into the DJT handbook. Loyalty above all else, never cross me or I’ll destroy you.
🎯Bullseye.
How long before some right-wing talking point generator blurts out, "What about Atticus Finch? Huh?"
After almost 520 stupid weeks straight and counting, it's almost not surprising.
Ugh, you had to count the weeks?? It’s the rerun that won’t stop. 🤦♀️
I just multiplied by ten. Lazy, I know.
😂😂
i figure the phrase “sick puppy” will be included.
Since that news hit the interwebs, she is starting to feel the well-deserved blowback from her heinous, gun totin’ actions as well she should. People like that are lower than pond scum. I’m rather surprised she hasn’t shot any of her family members who may have pissed her off. People of SD should do better with their choices for elected office.
Jeff - you outdid yourself ! I am grateful for a terrific Saturday morning kickoff!!
Same here. Sharticus continues to keep us entertained with all of his complaining. It has to be one of the worst jobs, to take care of this adult baby!!
Agree! Hilarious! I’m on vacation and still NEED this!!!!!!!!🥰
When even Catturd thinks Noem is a piece of shit, that should tell you something (seen on Jay Kuo’s site)
And don’t forget Jeff, she is banned from 10% of the land she supposably governs
I still can't get that out of my head. On one hand, I have the comic thought of the rampaging goat and the dog chasing the wrong kind of birds. You'd see that on America's Funniest Home videos which kids run from the goat and the dog owner yells at the dog "WRONG BIRDS, CRICKET!"

Oops, sorry, I hit the three dots planning to add something else and saw "report," so I may have reported myself accidentally.
Even Cat-turd was a big NO on puppy killing--imagine agreeing with that guy, even once!
It was a post someone made on threads, I should have saved it but I bet you've come across it by now.
Ms. Spouse just reminded me that back when Rudy Colludy was mayor, we were having brunch at a sidewalk cafe at 2nd Ave and 87th St when right in front of us, Rudy got out of a limo and a gust of wind blew his comb-over straight off his bald head. it's a sight burned indelibly into my brain
I'm sure it freaked out the pigeons too!!
Repeat “the horror “ from Apocalypse Now over and over and over again……
dammit
Aaah!!😂😂😂
Bad hair doesn't just run through the GOP. It's the NY Marathon at full strength.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😁
That is truly a laugh your ass off moment.
EEk! Talk about trauma-inducing!
I miss the times when spelling “potato” wrong was a scandal.
And if you get that you’re old AF, like me!
HA! Yes, I remember Dan Quayle and his potato fiasco!! God, I must be old!
He was insurance that no one would assassinate Bush, because everyone agreed Quayle was too stupid to become president!
Remember when Dilbert was funny and Dogbert was displaying Dan Quayle's brain (a cauliflower) in a museum and some kid ate it?
Eek! I'm that old too. I thought it was GW Bush.
Comedians loved Dan Quayle because he was so easy to make jokes about.
Yeah, I think it was the Murphy Brown show that did an episode about Quayle and potatoes.
Isn't it potato and not potato? 😆
The "E" on the end makes me anxious when people do that.
You say potatoe, I say potato,
Potato potatoe tomato tomatoe
Let's call the whole thing off
Or wearing a tan suit
Yes. John Stewart showed a montage of every president since Truman wearing a tan suit.
1992
1. Why do you have to be gross and fucking disgusting to be a Republican? I guess it’s a prerequisite.
2. If the courthouse is too cold but it’s fine, why are you bitching and complaining?
So many questions I really don’t need an answer to. Carry on.
Then there's Kevin McCarthy's protégé, Republican Kern County Supervisor, Zack Scrivner, who was arrested for attempting to rape his pre teen daughter. Another of one of his kids stabbed him twice to stop the assault. The Republicans are whitewashing with "he had a mental breakdown." Is that what you call it when he's raping his children. Now, Nicky would call him a 'real man.'
I should have added sick and twisted to the list. That’s just horrific. It’s not a mental breakdown, it’s pedophilia. Hope he’s in jail.
Holy Shit. I had not heard about that. 🤦♀️
Between that and Oklahoma voting on a bill to allow teachers to beat disabled children, the KKK members of the Supreme Court, King Shitpants, Idaho watching women die of pregnancy complications, holy fucksticks I just want to get drunk or high as fuck. To lighten up my morning, I was listening to James McMurtry song, Choctaw Nation. Ode to Oklahoma/Texas meth country. It's hilarious!

Yes, it is critical to figure out a way to end the power of this rogue Supreme Court, which is dangling our democracy in the balance. Demanding that the justices who took bribes are kicked off the court would be an excellent start.
I feel your pain. Protesting is a necessary function of democracy. No one in their right mind supports Dictator Bibi's crimes in Palestinian. However, screaming death to Jews loses its punch. I wish they were flood our streets with protest for women's rights, against gun violence or the greed inflation, a possible election that if Republicans win we are on our way to an autocratic government. If another middle eastern country did this to Palestinian, would they react the same? I'm not so sure. Then screaming they won't vote for democracy here. Short sighted for sure. Kushner is already ready to turn Gaza into beach front property for the wealthy.
It only took less than 3 years to nail Nixon. Merrick Garland is useless. The goddamn fuckery in our government is rotten to the core. We are compromised. We are corrupted. The enemy is here. And Leonard Leo and the alt-right American Oligarchs will own our fucking asses if people don't get their fat asses off the couch and vote. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Over 51% of the populations education ends at the sixth grade level. Keep them dumb and ignorant is the Republican way. This country is hurling backwards to the 19th century at warp speed. Religious, bigoted, misogynistic mother fuckers.
Lisa, I wonder if the "death to Jews" chant is a deep fake. Many of the leaders, organizers and members of the protests are Jewish, and I have not heard any antisemitic chants in the rallies here in California or the ones I'm watching online. If there are any such chants, that is disgusting and I imagine organizers would confront the chanters immediately. But the protests here are uniting Jews and Arabs as well as people from everything other demographic.
Preach, Lisa59! "Sixth grade education." Holy moly. That is terrifying. I wish all my friends in NYC would stand outside Trump's trial with signs that read: "WAKE UP! Stop Trump NOW!"
LOVE James McMurtry. Thanks for the reminder. I'm gonna play some right now. (Saw him live twice...what a songwriter! 👍)
Writing runs in his family. A little outlaw country in the morning with coffee and gummies. Love it!

Hopefully you can get past the firewall to read the whole thing. Inside the article are quotes from people attempting to normalize what happened: The Sheriff: "“We were responding to what we believed at the time was a suicidal person having a psychotic episode, not any crime,” Youngblood said." Later on you read: "Detectives obtained a search warrant and seized 30 firearms, psychedelic mushrooms, electronic devices and possible evidence of sexual assault in the house, he said." When your own child stabs you because you are raping his sister...yeah. Nothing to see here. I can't wait for the next update of normalization for Kevin McCarthy's boy: Just a man who is stressed out from his divorce but doing a great job as Kern County Supervisor.

Love the Wayback Machine. Used it frequently when I worked.
Thanks for posting that.
McCarthy says the REAL reason Frankengaetz ousted him was because McCarthy refused to stop the investigation into allegations against him. I believe McCarthy (first time I ever have).
Yes, I believe him on that, too.
They didn't used to be. 1980 changed my mind about voting for most of them. I'm from Vermont, and we had some pretty cool Republicans who did good. George Aiken, for one, who proposed that we just declare victory in Vietnam and bring everyone home. Back in the pre-war 1800s (not sure of the year), a Vermont Congessional member argued so fiercely against slavery that a Georgia rep stated the US should "hire a crew of able-bodied Irishmen to dig a ditch around it and float the damned thing out to sea."
Ah, Kay-El inquiring minds want to know.
It sounds like Agolf Shitler had one of the worst weeks of his entire life. I can’t wait for it to get worse.
“Sundowning Grandpa Farticus” has such a lovely ring to it! I saw it earlier this week and am just delighted to see it again. Outstanding wordsmithing, Jeff !
Along with that perfect description of Steve Bannon. Rotting sack of maggot-infested entrails had me rolling. Hard to find a more perfect description of that disgusting asshole.
I am presuming he is what you get when an incel attains senior citizen status?
He's the one that encouraged RFK to run, as a "Chaos candidate" They are friends.
And now Trump is pissed at RFK for taking votes away from him. Perhaps Bannon's bullshit plan is backfiring which would be awesome.
Let's hope so, we need all the help we can get against those assholes.
That really pisses me off. Bannon is such a sleeve bag
Just in case you want to share that:
"Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon had been encouraging Kennedy to run for months, believing he could be both a useful chaos agent in the 2024 race and a big name who could help stoke anti-vaccine sentiment around the country, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News' Robert Costa.His push against the COVID-19 vaccine has linked him at times with anti-democratic figures and groups. Kennedy has appeared at events pushing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and with people who cheered or downplayed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
A photo posted on Instagram showed Kennedy backstage at a July 2021 Reawaken America event with former President Donald Trump's ally Roger Stone, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and anti-vaccine profiteer Charlene Bollinger. All three have promoted the lie about the 2020 election being stolen. The photo was posted but later removed by Bollinger, who has appeared with Kennedy at multiple events.
Kennedy has repeatedly invoked Nazis and the Holocaust when talking about measures aimed at mitigating the spread of COVID-19, such as mask requirements and vaccine mandates. He has sometimes apologized for those comments, including when he suggested that people in 2022 had it worse than Anne Frank, the teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp after hiding with her family in a secret annex in an Amsterdam house for two years."

Ta’ll know I meant *sleeze bag 🙄
You know, it occurs to me that, if Trump is used to guzzling twelve plus Diet Cokes a day, and they have been suddenly placed out of his reach during court, he is - tee hee - probably suffering from excruciating caffeine withdrawal headaches, boo fucking hoo, as Jeff would say. Cry harder, Grandpa.
Good point. Maybe that accounts for all the falling asleep, too.
Yes, I said that’s couple days ago. Of course he is!! I drink really strong iced tea all the time & if I don’t make a fresh pitcher & go without for 6-8 hrs, I will get a headache.
Without all that caffeine he’s also going to have trouble staying awake
The courthouse might be cold to keep the “defendant” awake??? Also cold keeps odors down.
I’m waiting for a juror to drop out due to Trump’s stench and then speaks about it on national television.
“Steve Bannon is what would happen if a rotting sack of maggot-infested entrails became a real boy.”
Thanks Jeff. For years I’ve been trying to encapsulate Bannon’s ineffable appearance and inner being and this finally clears it all up for me.
“Walking, talking used urinal cake” is the closest I could come up with.
Oooohhh.... thats a good one!
😂😂😂
Poor old grandpa poopy pants is having a no good very bad time with all these nasty democrat thugs. Boo-fucking-hoo. Cry harder!
Perhaps the reason Steve Bannon is attacking Jim Jordan is because the guy who protected himself from allegedly covering sexual assaults on team members by the team doctor when Jordan was a coach at OSU, and defied a Congressional Subpoena issued by the J6 Committee (now Chair of the Judiciary Committee) was, with all his attempts to interfere, unable to derail the Leticia James NY lawsuit of the Trump Organization’s Tax Fraud case that resulted in a $454+ million judgement, the Fani Willis GA state prosecution of election interference, and the Alvin Bragg NY case of Business Fraud & Election interference where his master, Trump, is going through his first of four criminal trials.
Just a wild guess.
Maybe so, but as for me, the less I know about whatever's going on in the (truly insane) brain of Bannon the better.
I agree... Bannon is one sick dude. Maybe he and Kristi Noem should get together. 🙄
He'd have to fight off Dotard Don in a sumo match! She seems popular with the right wing at the moment.
Isn't Kristi already doing the deed with Corey Lewandowski? Known abuser.
Right...the thought is just gross. 🤮🤮
They definitely deserve each other.
She already has a boyfriend, abuser Corey Lewandowski who was Donald Trump's first campaign manager, He was let go after a Breitbart reporter said he sexually harassed her then two other women said he had abused them as well.After he was fired he became 'political advisor' to Noem. He then harassed her office workers and finally screwed up by sexually harassing a large GOP donor.
"Corey Lewandowski Loses Top Spot at MAGA Group After Sexual Harassment Accusation.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/gop-donor-trump-corey-lewandowski-sexual-assault-1234523/
Corey Lewandowski, once key to Noem's political prominence over the past year, is accused of sexually assaulting a GOP donor. Politico reported Wednesday that Trashelle Odom was touched inappropriately, experienced lewd language and was "stalked" by Lewandowski at an event.
His time as Noem's adviser coincided with high staff turnover within the governor's office.
A political adviser and longtime ally of former President Donald Trump was removed from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem's camp following public accusations of sexual assault.
A former top aide to Noem, Maggie Seidel, said in a Wednesday statement to the Associated Press that she thought it would be "outrageous for her to continue to associate with Corey Lewandowski."...

All kinds of yuk. It appears she's still married to Bryon, her husband. When will Bryon wake up and smell the coffee???? These people....🤦♀️
They probably threatened him to stay with her, if she got exposed in evagelical world as an adultress, her career would be over. Or, maybe they have an open marriage, he has to know she'a crazy highly armed virago.
He’s probably afraid that he’ll suffer the same fate as her dog and goat.
There would be a match made in heaven or hell.
Bannon looks like he just came off a week long bender…..detox is next?
I think he's trademarked that look by now!
I am floored by the extent some will go to achieve their dream of sitting at the right hand of trump. New teeth, new hair and killing a puppy. Kristi Noem is as much a psychopath as trump.
"Steve Bannon is what would happen if a rotting sack of maggot-infested entrails became a real boy." 😂😂 What in the hell WAS Steve shouting about? And it's gonna take a team of psychologists to help Nick Fuentes...whatta fucking weirdo. 🙄 I'm still sick to my stomach about Kristi Noem shooting her dog. WTF? These people are vile and inhumane. Trying to shake the whole incident. Try to have a good weekend everybody. ✌️
I don’t know what’s worse tRump’s hair trying to run off or his mouth running off! He’s his own comedy act!
As for all the rest, I’m just disgusted by them.
Bravo for those State’s going after those involved in the fake elector scheme!
The judge is keeping the courtroom cool hoping Trump will stay awake.
Maybe to deal with the alleged smells, too?
Okay, today’s post made be laugh so hard, I snorted! But aside from the hilarity, it was also extremely helpful, because I finally understand what’s been missing from my (almost) 33-year marriage. My husband just isn’t rapey enough. And honestly, without the threat of rape, I’ve never been able to truly respect him.
LOL
