I actually googled "distance between San Francisco and Tel Aviv," because, y'know, journalistic integrity

Musk is such a STUPID IDIOT! Not only in his “flack jacket” that’s WAY too small, but, (and this is special for Musk) he can “just go fuck yourself, Elon!”

Expand full comment

I mostly ignore him. I would not know anything going on with muskrat, except for whatever Jeff posts about him. For me, he’s very easy to ignore, and I don’t use Shitter and never have.

One thing I will say, he still has enough money to blow through for a while even if all advertisers leave Twit-x. It should be called Twixt. Anyway, we should all be helping him to blow his money as fast as possible by not supporting his products, so get a different E-car, and not supporting Twixt.

Can we submit paperwork (to some random gov’t agency) to make a ‘Not-Stupid Weekend’ an official thing 🤔

Maybe they will start subscribing. A friend I forwarded some to greeted me with "Did you see what Jeff Tiedrich wrote about Kissinger? I asked a bit suspiciously how she knew, and that's when I found out she had subscribed.

Everytime I see Muck with some military vest , a goofy cowboy hat, or bomber jacket on it reminds me how similar he is to Trump with their insecurities and how much they need to prove they are big boys.

All that Blood Diamond money and no brains is a dangerous thing. He paid all those engineers to make what has his name on it. As I've said before, he wouldn't know the difference between a rocket motor or an Osterizer if he bumped his nose on one.

Muskrat and the mango madman sure like their phony bullshit photo opts in their attempts to do damage control. Why doesn't someone like Musk do a humanitarian effort for a change? Then again,, that cheap selfish asshole's wallet is closed tighter than a clam at low tide.

Yes, this! All that angst over being that wimpy, unpopular high school nerd comes pouring out in his attire now that he’s “the smartest guy in all the rooms”, dammit!

But he's clearly NOT the smartest guy in this room or any room. He's a fucking idiot.

He's got to get the big, black F 350 Raptor 4X4 to get his manhood real. Not that pansy ass ugly electric toy he's peddling.

EVERYONE drinks milkshakes with a straw. (Until you suck to the bottom and then have to tilt the cup up to let the rest slide down all over your face.)

Expand full comment

and then it drips off your face onto your shirt and you say "aaah fuck" and you have to go home and change your shirt.

Or so I've heard. That would never have happened to me *ahem*

Expand full comment

Yup. That's the way to do it!

Expand full comment

Geez, THAT is why they serve it with a straw! Go figure!

Of course, now due to plastic waste in the oceans that has become optional. We COULD go back to paper straws like they were before plastic consider the limited need.

Speaking of stupid - did anyone watch Newsom mop the floor with DeSantis (and Hannity - that lying piece of shit, who promised the exact opposite of what was delivered) on Fox? I didn’t watch the whole thing, but watched the YouTube highlight video. Newsom came loaded with facts, intelligence and lightning speed while DeSantis stood there with a fake smile plastered on his face while occasionally throwing in crazy, unsubstantiated nonsense. It was a beautiful thing.

Expand full comment

I watched via Brian Tyler Cohen on YouTube. Ron looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Gavin Newsom ran over him like a truck.

Expand full comment

Totally accurate as I saw it too. When that dumbass Ron DeSantis tries to smile, he reminds me of Hannibal Lecter. He is so so creepy. Every once in a while, when Newsom was talking, DeSantis would just smile like some kind of freak, as if his debate coaches told him to smile more. It was a disaster for him.

That’s DeSaster :D

Lizard person in a human suit.

Expand full comment

When you consider that Gavin is the governor of a state that is also the 4th or 5th largest economy in the world with an extremely diverse demographic, you gotta' cut him some slack. It's not like being the governor of, say, South Dakota where everybody thinks Gov Noem is a goddess and Liz Cheney should be hung.

Expand full comment

Ron always looks like a deer in the headlights.

Expand full comment

I read about it, gotta go find the highlight video.

Question for everyone here: do you like Newsom? I don't really know enough about him at the moment to have an informed opinion.

Expand full comment

He’s incredibly intelligent and is one of the best debaters I have ever seen. If he runs for president after Biden‘s next term (see how optimistic I am), he will win the nomination. He may be a little too far to the left for some moderates in this country, but he’s such a great debater and so knowledgeable, I think that could give him the presidency. He kind of has a John F Kennedy appeal.

Expand full comment

💯 % agree Janet! Very glad Newsom is my governor here in CA.

Expand full comment

I really like our Colorado governor as well, Jared Polis. He has done great things for the state of Colorado, and he won by a landslide in the last election for his second term; but he doesn’t have the charisma that Newsome has. Still, he’s a very effective governor, and we are grateful to have him.

Expand full comment

+1!

Expand full comment

Agreed.

Expand full comment

I also agree! I grew up on the Western Slope (Vail) and have lived in San Diego for 33 years now, Newsom is the real deal and definitely has my vote in 2028!

Expand full comment

He’s ok he’s not a bad Governor but there is a large fraction of Repuklicans in Orange County in So Cal and in North East California in the countryside. Drumptypoopypants signs are everyfuckingwhere! Huge eye roll 🙄

Expand full comment

There's my descriptive adjectives and compound words.

Expand full comment

I do. Well he needs elevation to national, I am like yourself and would want further investigation. I am sure there are things the state could do better or is slow to get to but consider the size and variables, I think he done well. Not sure the country would go for a governor from CA. Reagan fucked that up,IMO.

Expand full comment

Yeah, I like him. He’s a bit self promoting but he’s intelligent and cares about people. He brings receipts and has that quality that is hard to come by (ask Ronny), authenticity.

Thank you Jeff! All excellent reasons to type this note of appreciation from Portugal. So glad all of the Fox ‘News’ viewers do everything Rupert Murdoch tells them to do.

I thought about moving there. Once you live somewhere else for a few months it becomes easier. And, of course more affordable than here. I have found the pace, the day to day is really worth the effort to live expat. I used to think I would miss it ( the USA) but now in retrospect probably not as much as i did back in the day.

Rather envious! Cheers!

Faux News has ruined a number of people that used to be close friends of mine. The Donald is still the most hated person on Earth but Elon and Bibi are in the running. The dipshit wingnuts get lots of attention but the real world is still here and standing strong. We will overcome, to quote MLK.

Will we though? Some days I fear we won't. They are breeding in higher numbers, after all.

The young are overwhelmingly for Democracy. The Republicans are pushing to raise the voting age as they want only affluent white people to be allowed to vote. Not going to work. Sadly it is mostly misinformed people my age who think Trump is the answer. And we are decreasing in number regardless of our political beliefs.

I’m pretty sure that evil space aliens have taken control of Jesse’s brain. He obviously has no self-awareness whatsoever. He has no clue how fucking ignorant he sounds every time a word drops out of his mouth. He’s just like Lauren Boebert. He has a very serious Dunning Krueger problem.

If they're using that straw to practise for a Polish sausage later, that's pretty damn manly. I'd say most things involving two men are by definition pretty manly, yeah?

I saw a tweet from space nazi, saying thar X is the place to go for real information and that all of the other sites are “bought and paid for.” So guess we’ve now entered the sour-grapes stage of his decline, where he’s going to try to convince the masses that losing advertisers is a great thing. Because who wants a platform that’s bought and paid for by advertisers, when you can have one that’s bought and paid for by a single far-right, racist, antisemitic, conspiracy theorist who can spread lies, hate and reactionary propaganda unchecked, because answers to no one? If only he had a friend who could remind him that we already have a T.S. And it’s in the shitter for a reason.

Good God, I thought he was going to put Joe Biden down because plastic straws harm sea turtles, or for other environmental convfefes. But cause they’re not manly? I’d like to shove a bundle of straws down that pretty boy’s throat, whoever he is. And a few up his nose too. The world should just end today. These idiots make it not worth. Let me off.
