I had not been to South Carolina until a buddy and I drove down for the 2017 eclipse and stopped by a river in Georgia that marked the border with SC. I stripped down, swam across, hiked a bit of a trail on the other side and returned. So, I have never worn clothing in South Carolina.
When we moved from NY to CA, we elected to drive, since the company was paying. Saw a lot of the country that way. It was, um, eye-opening. Texas is one of the flatest places. There's a rock formation called Tucumcari in New Mexico. You can see it 2 days' drive away in Texas, that's how flat.
I've wanted to do this, but we've not had the money to go on vacation. I was going to do it alphabetically (being unable to make choices, I start with the first in alphabetical order, my husband's used to this) so years ago I sent away to Alabama for tourist stuff, which I still have. I was going to talk my husband into it by telling him we could go to Muscle Shoals. Probably never happen now.
If you start in NorCal and travel to every state in the lower 48 alphabetically and in a straight line, that's about 39,000 miles, or more than 1-1/2 times around the earth at the equator. Not practical
That bigoted asshole got a DUI and went on a wild racist rant to the cops. It made to our local news. Then there was a petition by Republicans to get him to resign. Even the Republican bigots don't like him. They removed him from committees. He's a pig.
I did a Google search of this guy and he was arrested for DUI and he was a wireline operator. I have no idea what he’s doing in government other than being a Nazi.
I'm another one of those old guy libs, who people prolly get tired hearing about History. But the Dulles brothers actually did for decades what Nicos suggests. Those assassinations and Coup d'états ultimately produced the most incredible diplomacy and 3rd world localized conflict (aka war) disasters in American history. Who remembers the Vietnam War? Only recently have the Vietnamese stopped hating us/the US, mostly because we built factories there. Remember the psychotic misogynist theocracy that is today's Iran? Dulles brothers, again. They still hate us, and have NUKES. Nico needs to just STFU. Besides being war crimes and immoral, turns out expedient solutions for diplomatic resolution ONLY results in a much bigger, longer term disaster. Dumpo Dickless didn't understand W's mistake(s), Dumpo wants to create an even bigger multi-national hate fest. It will be magnificent, so magnificent, the word magnificent won't cover it. Entire regions of the earth will hate us. Hate us enough to aim their nukes at us. Send terrorists to blow shit up. Kill millions of Americans. Someone go bounce a bat off Nico's head.
Not sure what the demographic span is here. Them thar youngins here ;-) may not be fully informed about some of the US’s debacles in the 20th century. Hell, I didn’t understand my father’s rage about John Foster Dulles until the turn of the century. My apologies if I sounded condescending.
No, no, no, no need to apologize. The age span, as near as I can tell, basically ranges from 60 to 85, with some a little older. There are a few who remember Kennedy's assassination when they were children. I myself will be 75 next month. But we did live when the US was the wealthiest and most powerful nation the world has ever seen at the time when it was the world's wealthiest and most powerful nation, if that makes sense. It's been all downhill since Reagan.
Let me grab my copy and see what Circle to which he'll be sent. And while I'm in that section of the room (across from me) I'll put Subterranean Homesick Blues on the record player. Okay, okay, stereo...
For the record. Nico the jerkoff was arrested for driving drunk in Jan 2024. While being arrested he was yelling all kind of racist and homophobic remarks. This is from the police report: .................An officer wrote that Rios became “verbally abusive, homophobic, racially abusive and discriminatory,” toward him during the arrest"
It is so obvious that Melon has dirt on the Orange MAGAt. I’ll bet Vlad gave it to him on the condition he destroy the US government. Donnie is finding the price he has to pay for Vlad’s support. FAFO Donnie, FAFO!
There's a carrot as well as a stick -- Elno has a shit-ton more money than the orange asshole ever did. Pretty sure he's also hoping he can siphon some of that off...
He spent the money to keep himself out of jail funny how one of the first things done was go after USAID whos inspector general was investigating the space nazi and star-link and Ukraine 🇺🇦 and how Putin ended up with I'm betting was supposed to be proprietary equipment, and now the investigation went away.
Big time. Hell, Smuk only spent $270 million and change to get behind that desk and have access to everybody's personal info. Felonious fucknuts spent a lot more than that just to be Smuk's co president and to keep his fat crooked ass out of the joint where he really belongs. How much longer will this second fiddle bromance continue before Dump totally loses hit shit and gets Elno tossed out on his ear? With Dump's ego about as fragile as his ability to lead, it shouldn't be much longer.
Trump never wanted to be president, just play golf and bask in the glory Rick, Elon simply needs to promise him more $ and keep slipping him knock out drops!
Yes! It's like a marriage of convenience. Orange gets to golf and do press and pretend he knows what he's signing and Space Nazi gets to clean out the Treasury and plant AI bombs in all the gvmt systems. How long do you think this will last?
Ditto. He likes the idea of everybody calling him Mr. President but he has no taste for the actual work. Melon doesn’t like to work either, just unleash a few thousand incels to bang away at anything he disapproves of.
I agree graft and grift, what’s it like when everybody around you is grifting immediately and they will con the orange sewer clown eventually. There is no honor among thieves.
King Shitpants isn't playing a loose cannon, (well, he is), he's a calculating rat fucker. Like you said, this is the price to stay out of jail, get revenge, and grift. They're both taking orders. And for Shitpants, whatever goes south the Colonizer will take the fall. People love to go to prison for Shitpants. Thousands have checked that off their bucket lists.
Being tied to the mob at birth, his skill is the art of the con Lisa! He’s surrounded himself with mob figures, many of them Russian, Mossad, others in the global crime syndicate. Many here in the U.S. as well…take the big business clowns who sat front stage at his inauguration, Zuckerberg certainly is a Putin stan!
Toss Manafort, Giuliani, Nunes, Gaetz, Stefanik, Romney, Jordan, along with many others being part of gang of thieves, none of whom are under investigation.
His former AG Bill Barr was never investigated, but may be the biggest crook of all!!
Right on. It's been said that Putin could fill a warehouse or two with KGB files of his crimes. I still think we're dealing with a State Capture here. The coup without firing a shot.
Did you ever see the articles about trump as an FBI informant during the early pandemic? The writer said his source was from inside and it has to do in with him testifying or giving evidence against one of the Italian bosses, which after they were beheaded led to the infiltration by the Russian Mafia in construction? I really wish I had saved those articles but can't find it now. Per article what strock was saying about "we won't let him..." made sense in the context of trump previously being an FBI asset...
Too true. I was called every slur under the sun as a Jewish kid, and when they called me "Jew", it was in the same awful way they called me "kike" and "heeb", etc.
"Is Time Magazine still in business?" Ha ha. what a sick burn someone fed you, you demented Putin stooge. Meanwhile, his aides are busy pulling down and trashing all the "Man of the Year" covers that egomaniac had framed.
And all the yuk-yuks arose from the dutiful media bobbleheads at Trump’s lame-ass joke about Time magazine. Wonder if they were all from Breitbart and ONAN news or whatever the fuck it is. Then again, the good-natured chuckling could just as well come from WaPo or NYT.
Well, since it's all New York Post and Breitbart and other right wing/tabloid rags allowed in there now, I'm surprised they didn't stroke his ego a little more and actually fall off their chairs laughing.
You need to listen to the Christian ladies BS; it's a classic SNL performance. I always listen to them just to see how far out on the limb they climb. I loved it when she said her son was a profit, but she didn't explain what kind of profit, i.e. $$$$ profit. Oh for fucks sake, it has to be for money because who else would spout that shit for free. A fool and his money.
These grifters believe their own delusions. Their psychosis speaks volumes. I've known a few. Tent revival snake charmers. Except the snake usually bites them in the ass. When they get caught trying to have sex with a 10 yr old. Or marry their 13 yr old first cousin. Or embezzling a relative. Lovely group.
Bravo to the state AGs who just got a restraining order blocking Musk's incel pigs from continuing to access Treasury payment systems (my AG is one of them - yay!). The question, of course, is whether they'll obey the order and who the hell will enforce it. Tish James has said that if Musk and the brats don't comply, she will file criminal charges. I'm waiting for Musk to tell the judge to go fuck himself. Contempt charges, maybe?
There are now 39 lawsuits filed against Trump. Last night, a judge told Musk to take his dirty hands off USAID. Everyone who's fired gets their job back.
Will Elon comply with a court order? Or the Supreme Court? He bought the Executive Branch and controls the Legislative Branch. If he tells the courts to fuck off who will arrest him?
That's my great fear, that he can't be held accountable. I don't know if the Federal courts have their own marshals. Any attorneys here who might know?
The Marshalls serve as security and law enforcement for the judiciary but are directed by the DOJ attorney general who is now Pam Bondi, so probably not.
Rick Wilson has suggested going to your Congress critters local offices in person & demanding to know how they will keep your data secure & why are they allowing the incels access
I'm worried that the restraining order comes much too late, anyway. Muck and his incel posse had access for a week. They could have copied everything and sent it to a Muck server farm. Or sold it to anyone who would pony up.
My private fantasy is the marshalls in a shootout with his private security and somehow Elon gets shot while resisting arrest: should have just complied!
The nasty little number on the far left, Johnson, did his attack just miles from where I live. And nancy mace joined the ICE agents, wearing an ICE jacket, a couple of days ago, having a great time filming herself terrifying immigrants in another nearby area.
Claiming "mental health issues" is America's favorite Get Out of Jail card now. And yet the right wing loves to slash funding for mental health services, from Reagan to the present freak show. Is there anyone in Trump's administration who doesn't have mental health issues -- of the worst kind imaginable?
She's a hopeless, feckless, brainless piece of shit who thinks she is hot (when she is not) and has an insatiable craving for attention of any kind. (but likes media attention the most)
The fake ICE agent gig is going on in a number of places, impersonating an officer is bad, kidnapping spells prison time… fucking imbeciles appear to be coming out for stupid-racist fun Susan! Hopefully it lands them in the hands of the real authorities, like these 3!!
The dude on the right in the photo of the perps, Carl Thomas Bennett, flashed a card with a pic of a badge on it at a woman in a Motel 6 and *allegedly* raped her with the threat that he would turn her in to ICE if she failed to comply with his demands. He has been arrested and is being held without bond. This happened, IIRC from the article, in or around Raleigh, NC. Yes, we live amongst the depraved, and rape is often a crime of opportunity, but she did nothing wrong!
I agree, and worded it poorly. I do not believe she did anything to cause her own rape at all. Men who would rape will do so, given an opportunity. How will the case proceed against him, though, if she fails to show up in court because she is undocumented and afraid of deportation? This government will not give her asylum. There will be abuses of many kinds committed against those rounded up and forced into some sort of “camps” or are forcibly deported to other countries. I hope every voter who failed to vote for Kamala or who deliberately voted for Trump chokes on their own bile.
Thank you for the non-gaslighting post, I should have known power hungry trash would be out harassing and mark my words more violence is coming from imposters accent on State prosecution so djt can’t pardon then.
Pathological narcissism plays a big role in politics and their supporters. Malignant narcissists like Nancy, are basically very insecure people who feel vulnerable and are hyper sensitive to criticism. They loose their shit. The more she screams, the more threatened she feels. Poor Nancy, 😅 she's scared of men in a dress. She's just a very insecure bully. Irrelevance is the cure. Stop putting a microphone is this bitch's face.
The weird thing is that she was the first woman to graduate from the -- at that time, very sexist, super-conservative -- Citadel Military College here in Charleston, SC. It was 1999. Even though she was a conservative, I was one of many women locally to cheer her on. No question the fact that her father was the Commandant of the Citadel during her years there so she was surely not brutally hazed as was the tradition there. Nevertheless, it seemed like a noteworthy accomplishment. Was she insane when she was a student there? Enquiring minds want to know.
For Nancy, it's how she's hardwired and conditioned. Her need for attention is pathological. She has some daddy issues. She projects her lack of emotional intelligence on others. She wishes she had a penis. Her lack of self control over her emotions is her projection of her deep insecurities. I think the whole Citadel thing was about daddy's approval. Having narcissistic parents myself, that's very obvious. She's a walking red flag.
It must’ve been nearly impossible to select only six stupid things from this week (or for that matter, ANY week in Trump’s America). I honestly don’t know his you do it.
Hi Jeff, another episode of “Golf with MAGAS”. Golf was good, winning $$ to cap it off. Lunch was another matter. MAGAS all very excited over our new bleach bottle blond, Ms Bondi. I had to respond that… well if she goes down for $20,000 from Donald what else will she do, let’s say if a Russian or a Chinese intelligence offers her more $$ what will she do/ perform. Hegseth was brought up, I replied that now he won’t be a black out drunk on the job, and I’m so fucking happy about that, then stated he could not lead a Girl Scout troop to sell those cookies. Didn’t go over too well. Next week I will bring up prosperity preacher Paula White heading up the Office of Faith, we get to pay for it.. She, of course married multiple times, multiple affairs, talking in tongues… rasa rasa rasa.. you can see it on You Tube.. It’s just all one big grift.. Best to all.
I love this. My husband and I play in a couples league that will start again when it warms up here in Southern Colorado. That gives me time to work on material.
I already have an answer for the woman who urges me to accept Jesus Christ as my savior - "I don't need a savior, but I HAVE accepted Jesus Christ as my role model. You should, too!"
It takes so much effort to find such a large collection of the worst of the worst. And so much evil to unleash them on your own country. The traitorous treachery is mindboggling. He is assembling a real-life SPECTRE.
You outdid yourself today, Jeff. I looked at that picture of Rios and though "WTF is wrong with his hair"? Then I read your lawnmower comment. Thanks for bringing laughter into my life so early today. With a name like Nico Rios, I don't think he's one of God's chosen Aryan Nazi children. The hits just keep coming with this clown show.
When I saw it yesterday, I assumed it was a fake. So happy Jeff did the research so I wouldn’t have to and even more happy that it’s real. Now we’ll see how terrified of his co-prez the orange terrorist really is.
I hate looking at the Golden Steer's so-called face, but I would have loved to see that. I would have loved to see his aides when it arrived. They probably mutely fetched the mops and the sponges to mop up all the Heinz...
WTF i love how your daughter has prophetical powers now! the sign of a prophet is telling the truth that actually happens and she was right on. This era completely downs the American freedom train. Ok another totally STUPID thing is trump demanding the Chairmanship of the board of the Kennedy Center for the Arts and firing the board. So now we get World Wide Wrestling on the Potomac!
A totally pathetic attempt to pretend he has class —there will be a shake up in the Arts and many organizations will be bankrupted because of their refusal to play the fiddle and tap dance for the Massahs.
Wow, we are talking art like oil and water djt v ART always the looser. I had offers to be an illustrator when 18yrs then I looked around at the market, no art in any home I don’t count black velvet as a background. It was but a short time later that art classes were gone. Always the first to go. Bad movies have always maintained though.
now how in the world of false propheteers is the man gonna carry such a UUUUGE load?
i mean he only gets 6 rounds of golf a week, operates a 24/7/365 global grift, is forever fighting his sexual urges with his next unknown victims. (i hear ivanka told him to stay away and STOP playing grab ass!)
His minions are keeping him busy with golf and other activities designed to keep him out of public view while his dementia continues to worsen, and folks, that train is never late.
I don’t know what I’d do without him. Having said that, for a few days, things were so ghastly that I couldn’t read his column — which was a first for me. It felt almost sacreligious to laugh.
Thank you, Kd, for succinctly stating exactly how I've been feeling off and on since Jan 20. Heather Cox Richardson and Jeff are the two givens every day, then there is an additional significant list of wonderful Substackers that I enjoy. But lately, some days, I just can't look at any of it. Too painful. I don't know how y'all do it almost every day. I also wonder if Jeff and the others can tell when we don't click on and want to assure them all that it's not personal. Self preservation.
I was so touched when Jeff started adding this to the bottom of his posts:
“this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.”
Why are we surprised that Trump 2.0 is completely lawless within the structure of the Constitution? He spent 4 years avoiding consequences for an insurrection and sedition. So his oath to defend the the Constitution is a big joke, not a duty.
We shouldn't be surprised, just appalled by his actions.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) in her "maiden" speech to Congress disclosed that some member(s) of the Trump cabinet refused to affirm that they would uphold the Constitution above loyalty to Trump first. It was a condition of their appointments to office, I suspect.
yup. You'd think his wife (supposing he was actually able to convince some unfortunate female to marry him) would tell him that that haircut made him look stupid.
actual text that I just received from a neighbor: https://substack.com/profile/51646226-jeff-tiedrich/note/c-92019406
Not all heroes wear capes, Jeff. 🤷🏻♀️
Such a good neighbor you are!!!!!!!!
Like a God neighbor, Tiedrich is here!
Ha, that's awesome.
How did they miss Jews? Or I missed it. Anyway, I'm damed anyway cause Iike to watch baseball.
1. Nico’s weird ass mullet screams asshat in the front and fuckwit in the back
2. The only portal opening above the WH is Dante’s Inferno.
People from North Dakota are all the rude people the Canadians didn't want.
I'm from Minnesota. I concur.
Ditto Dina, my son declined a scholarship to college there after 1 visit!!
Where's that woodchipper when you need it.
You betcha
😉
Hey, I'm from SOUTH Dakota, on the Minnesota border, where half the people in the local phone book share my last name!
Apparently I'm distantly related to Lawrence Welk—but then again, so is nearly everybody in the Dakotas and Western Minnesota.
Ah, wunnerful, wunnerful!
So, pert near Minnesota
Haven't heard that in about 163 years. Still as ignorant a saying as ever. Not you, the pert near part.
Gee, you don't look a day over 157 😘
My jerk father was a Minnesotan, he said "pert near " . I was raised in White Bear Lake from age 6 moths ( I was born in AZ ) to age 9
That's funny!! 😂
My younger sisters & I would pretend we were The Lennon Sisters . 🎶 Sad movies always make me cry 🤣
Boy, Lawrence got around!
Well, Lawrence Welk started out as a jazz musician—
Yeah, I'm having a hard time processing that, too!
Nico Rios sounds like a foreigner. Deport him.
Never been to ND and I'm never going.
I need to go, but only in furtherance of my goal of visiting every state (I'm up to 40)
I'll stop at the state line and jump across and back while holding my breath 😂
I understand and that’s a lofty goal and I like your response, “jump in and jump out”.😂
I had not been to South Carolina until a buddy and I drove down for the 2017 eclipse and stopped by a river in Georgia that marked the border with SC. I stripped down, swam across, hiked a bit of a trail on the other side and returned. So, I have never worn clothing in South Carolina.
haha!!!
Admirable.
That's how I crossed the Texas panhandle, I didn't even stop for lunch.
When we moved from NY to CA, we elected to drive, since the company was paying. Saw a lot of the country that way. It was, um, eye-opening. Texas is one of the flatest places. There's a rock formation called Tucumcari in New Mexico. You can see it 2 days' drive away in Texas, that's how flat.
Took the southern route, since it was March.
Did it once, never need to do it again.
There's Texas flat, and then there's Florida flat, where the highest elevation in 99% of the state is a fwy overpass
Same here. Could not get out of Texas fast enough. Which wasn’t easy.
That's how my family moved from Minn
back to AZ for 6 months, then to So Cal.I was in 3 different 6 grade classes in 3 different states.
Although the one part of Texas worth seeing is Austin.
Little blue dot in a big red state
I wish I could have dropped into Austin by helicopter, I hear it's " weird " , I love " weird " . 😁
I've been to 48. I have made Hawai'i but not Alaska, and finally touched Rhode Island but have not been to Delaware.
I've wanted to do this, but we've not had the money to go on vacation. I was going to do it alphabetically (being unable to make choices, I start with the first in alphabetical order, my husband's used to this) so years ago I sent away to Alabama for tourist stuff, which I still have. I was going to talk my husband into it by telling him we could go to Muscle Shoals. Probably never happen now.
If you start in NorCal and travel to every state in the lower 48 alphabetically and in a straight line, that's about 39,000 miles, or more than 1-1/2 times around the earth at the equator. Not practical
Went across the state in a train back about 60 years ago. Lots of nothing- great for stargazing
Been there once and never again.
Ditto, drove across it and the freeway barely even has rest stops, just truck parking lots if you can count those.
You're not missing nothing. Unless, you duck or pheasant hunt. It's made up of hard heads, oil grunts and meth factories.
Nico is bringing back the Flowbee!
Hey don't knock it - that's how George Clooney cuts his hair. Google it.
It works better for George Clooney who isn't an anti-Semitic asshole.
I met him at a party, charmimg and down to earth.
I've been inside his house (nice house) but he wasn't home at the time
Not to burglarize it, I was doing service work 😂
Still ugly.
I did. All the photos I found in a quick search showed Clooney with gray at the temples. This Rios asshat has his temples shaved.
All the better to administer ECT?
Spitballin' here.
Surprisingly, it never left
LOL
That "haircut" looks like he lost a bet ... or his barber is an epileptic.
That bigoted asshole got a DUI and went on a wild racist rant to the cops. It made to our local news. Then there was a petition by Republicans to get him to resign. Even the Republican bigots don't like him. They removed him from committees. He's a pig.
Gee, you can't tell by looking at him...
Right!😄 He looks like the bully in high school that was held back a few years.
Haircut created my fist impression of this dear leader loverboy. It is sooo ugly and someone should bring him out of the 80s.
Is that the Eighties???
I did a Google search of this guy and he was arrested for DUI and he was a wireline operator. I have no idea what he’s doing in government other than being a Nazi.

We are the world's swinging dick.
Oh AJ, everyone our age remembers the Vietnam war.

This isn't the first eruption from Rios, either: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/24/us/north-dakota-lawmaker-dui-remarks/index.html
He seems nice. 🙄
For the record. Nico the jerkoff was arrested for driving drunk in Jan 2024. While being arrested he was yelling all kind of racist and homophobic remarks. This is from the police report: .................An officer wrote that Rios became “verbally abusive, homophobic, racially abusive and discriminatory,” toward him during the arrest"
That TIME cover is gonna rustle some orange feathers. Love to see it.
It is so obvious that Melon has dirt on the Orange MAGAt. I’ll bet Vlad gave it to him on the condition he destroy the US government. Donnie is finding the price he has to pay for Vlad’s support. FAFO Donnie, FAFO!
Stephen, that is not far-fetched. At all.
Both of these 2 wastrels are puppets of their puppet master Putin Stephen!
Absolutely. Stephen Miller is one of the puppet masters.
There's a carrot as well as a stick -- Elno has a shit-ton more money than the orange asshole ever did. Pretty sure he's also hoping he can siphon some of that off...
Putin’s Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.
P P tape !
King Shitpants has been in the Russian money laundering business for decades. He probably wishes it was just a pee tape.
JoJofromJerz calls him “the tinkle tape traitor”.
I think it’s the money Elon spent to get him elected
He spent the money to keep himself out of jail funny how one of the first things done was go after USAID whos inspector general was investigating the space nazi and star-link and Ukraine 🇺🇦 and how Putin ended up with I'm betting was supposed to be proprietary equipment, and now the investigation went away.
Stephen, I absolutely agree with you!
Big time. Hell, Smuk only spent $270 million and change to get behind that desk and have access to everybody's personal info. Felonious fucknuts spent a lot more than that just to be Smuk's co president and to keep his fat crooked ass out of the joint where he really belongs. How much longer will this second fiddle bromance continue before Dump totally loses hit shit and gets Elno tossed out on his ear? With Dump's ego about as fragile as his ability to lead, it shouldn't be much longer.
Trump never wanted to be president, just play golf and bask in the glory Rick, Elon simply needs to promise him more $ and keep slipping him knock out drops!
And avoid prison
THIS
Yes! It's like a marriage of convenience. Orange gets to golf and do press and pretend he knows what he's signing and Space Nazi gets to clean out the Treasury and plant AI bombs in all the gvmt systems. How long do you think this will last?
Sadly I don’t see it ending soon. Muskette is having too much fun destroying our entire government & sharing what’s left with Putin.
Like
Ditto. He likes the idea of everybody calling him Mr. President but he has no taste for the actual work. Melon doesn’t like to work either, just unleash a few thousand incels to bang away at anything he disapproves of.
I agree graft and grift, what’s it like when everybody around you is grifting immediately and they will con the orange sewer clown eventually. There is no honor among thieves.
King Shitpants isn't playing a loose cannon, (well, he is), he's a calculating rat fucker. Like you said, this is the price to stay out of jail, get revenge, and grift. They're both taking orders. And for Shitpants, whatever goes south the Colonizer will take the fall. People love to go to prison for Shitpants. Thousands have checked that off their bucket lists.
Being tied to the mob at birth, his skill is the art of the con Lisa! He’s surrounded himself with mob figures, many of them Russian, Mossad, others in the global crime syndicate.

right and is selling the data to putin and china at a huge profit.
Elon fix the election which kept trump's fat fucking ass out of jail, this was the deal.
He’s been mad at Time for years but now they’re really gonna be on his shit list.
As a note for the goyim: When people like that putz say "Jew", what they really want to say is "kike".
true fact
A fact MUST be true to be a FACT.
Don't be redundant.
Not when there’s alternative facts.
Rather than telling Jeff not to be redundant when he's using a very common vernacular phrase, you could try not being a pedantic schmuck.
And you can go FUCKITY BYE.
I don't pay to be insulted by randos.
fuck you fuck you fuck you a zillion times.

In this epoch, facts are anything the prophet, Dear Leader pours from his mouth to his coterie’s ears Kristy, but I’m with you!!
Don't be boring and linguistically ignorant.
Oh, you're just a baby bitch !
Too true. I was called every slur under the sun as a Jewish kid, and when they called me "Jew", it was in the same awful way they called me "kike" and "heeb", etc.
I’m so sorry, Ben. I will never understand this. Never.
💯
I really appreciate you transcribing the videos so we won't have to hear these idiots voices.
Same. Although I DID need to hear trump's "nooo." 🤣
"Is Time Magazine still in business?" Ha ha. what a sick burn someone fed you, you demented Putin stooge. Meanwhile, his aides are busy pulling down and trashing all the "Man of the Year" covers that egomaniac had framed.
He was all agog a few weeks agowhen he was Time Person of the year!!
Well played Richard!!
I watched the clip, even though I avoid hearing his dead voice at all cost.
In that clip, I wish someone would add a sad trombone over his "nooo."
And all the yuk-yuks arose from the dutiful media bobbleheads at Trump’s lame-ass joke about Time magazine. Wonder if they were all from Breitbart and ONAN news or whatever the fuck it is. Then again, the good-natured chuckling could just as well come from WaPo or NYT.
Well, since it's all New York Post and Breitbart and other right wing/tabloid rags allowed in there now, I'm surprised they didn't stroke his ego a little more and actually fall off their chairs laughing.
Arne- you nailed the “dead voice” you named what I’ve been calling “no soul”.
You need to listen to the Christian ladies BS; it's a classic SNL performance. I always listen to them just to see how far out on the limb they climb. I loved it when she said her son was a profit, but she didn't explain what kind of profit, i.e. $$$$ profit. Oh for fucks sake, it has to be for money because who else would spout that shit for free. A fool and his money.
These grifters believe their own delusions. Their psychosis speaks volumes. I've known a few. Tent revival snake charmers. Except the snake usually bites them in the ass. When they get caught trying to have sex with a 10 yr old. Or marry their 13 yr old first cousin. Or embezzling a relative. Lovely group.
it's the attention they love more than anything
Totally agree I won’t listen to MTG or orange turd.
BEST POSTING EVER!!!
I say this every week here about This Week In Stupid!
Bravo to the state AGs who just got a restraining order blocking Musk's incel pigs from continuing to access Treasury payment systems (my AG is one of them - yay!). The question, of course, is whether they'll obey the order and who the hell will enforce it. Tish James has said that if Musk and the brats don't comply, she will file criminal charges. I'm waiting for Musk to tell the judge to go fuck himself. Contempt charges, maybe?
There are now 39 lawsuits filed against Trump. Last night, a judge told Musk to take his dirty hands off USAID. Everyone who's fired gets their job back.
https://kathleenweber.substack.com/p/unlikely-hero-trump-appointee
My AG(AZ) too.
Will Elon comply with a court order? Or the Supreme Court? He bought the Executive Branch and controls the Legislative Branch. If he tells the courts to fuck off who will arrest him?
That's my great fear, that he can't be held accountable. I don't know if the Federal courts have their own marshals. Any attorneys here who might know?
Yes, they do: https://www.fjc.gov/history/administration/court-officers-and-staff-us-marshals
Thank you. But the courts don't control the marshals.
Right, the US Government does.
Since DC isn't a state, can the marshals be directed by the courts to take him into custody or secure the Treasury or other bldgs if need be?
The Marshalls serve as security and law enforcement for the judiciary but are directed by the DOJ attorney general who is now Pam Bondi, so probably not.
That's what I thought. DC statehood was apparently the last bit of unfinished business by Dems. Too bad.
last election nullified laws, courts, constitution and simple human decency...some people haven't noticed yet, still talk about safeguards...sad
The courts have not been nullified. Human decency, yes.
not officially, yet, but in reality yes - just watch (like what army is gonna enforce or stop or whatever the orange bulldozer)
Well, the army takes an oath to the Constitution, not the President, but point taken.
not state courts
The marshals are controlled by the executive branch. There is no way for courts to actually hold the maniacs accountable
States have their own courts and police ... And prisons.
Pity that Alcatraz was closed, but I hear there are some lovely places around Bakersfield.
I favor Bakersfield. If T's water plan works, they won't have any water by September.
RIGHT
You would hope that since he's not an elected official, he can't buy his way out of this blatant shitstorm of criminal acts.
states could charge him and arrest him. he's doing damages to their constituents
a police officer
Rick Wilson has suggested going to your Congress critters local offices in person & demanding to know how they will keep your data secure & why are they allowing the incels access
I'm worried that the restraining order comes much too late, anyway. Muck and his incel posse had access for a week. They could have copied everything and sent it to a Muck server farm. Or sold it to anyone who would pony up.
My fear too. Musk and his brats belong in jail.
The mention of arrest, brought a smile Linda!!
I love the thought of Musk and his brats being hauled out in handcuffs. A dream, maybe, but a lovely one.
My private fantasy is the marshalls in a shootout with his private security and somehow Elon gets shot while resisting arrest: should have just complied!
I hear Pelican Bay is lovely this time of year.
state charges could stick, then no pardon poo from shitsinpants
My AG too! (Vermont)
“low-class antisemitic fuckwad who cuts his hair with a lawnmower”
Seriously! What is up with these bizarre incel/Nazi-boy hair-dos?!
Not sure, but I think the hair-dos are a creative expression of their catastrophic stupidity and boundless insecurity.
Just an observation, I am not a mental health professional.
Close enough. Don't need a specialty to figure out stupid.
Are they wannabe roosters?
I suspect the answer to that is in the affirmative!
🤷🏻♀️
Haven’t seen a pic of “Big Balls”hacker Edward Coristine yet!!
And I’m fine with that 😊
"low-class antisemitic fuckwad who cuts his hair with a lawnmower,” 😂😂😂😂
It's been a helluva week. Did you hear about the three buffoons who went around posing as ICE agents??? We live in such a depraved society.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/us/ice-impersonators-on-the-rise-arrests-made-as-authorities-issue-national-warning/index.html
AND..
Georgia voters in MTG’s district… take a long look at yourselves in the mirror.
Shame on your dumb asses.
The nasty little number on the far left, Johnson, did his attack just miles from where I live. And nancy mace joined the ICE agents, wearing an ICE jacket, a couple of days ago, having a great time filming herself terrifying immigrants in another nearby area.
Johnson’s parents said he has mental health issues. Ya think???? And Nancy Mace. UGH!
Claiming "mental health issues" is America's favorite Get Out of Jail card now. And yet the right wing loves to slash funding for mental health services, from Reagan to the present freak show. Is there anyone in Trump's administration who doesn't have mental health issues -- of the worst kind imaginable?
You said it… I have to wonder if there is a sensible, sane, decent person in our government.
Some are sane -- but with the most severe of Personality Disorders:
Malignant Narcissism.
None that is for sure.
She's a hopeless, feckless, brainless piece of shit who thinks she is hot (when she is not) and has an insatiable craving for attention of any kind. (but likes media attention the most)
i was speaking of Mace, but my words will do for Sporky, as well.
She DID? I mean, I knew she was reprehensible, but that's just 9th circle of hell stuff.
The fake ICE agent gig is going on in a number of places, impersonating an officer is bad, kidnapping spells prison time… fucking imbeciles appear to be coming out for stupid-racist fun Susan! Hopefully it lands them in the hands of the real authorities, like these 3!!
I hear the sound of shattering mirrors all over NW Georgia.😂😂
LOL The dumb quotient there is off the charts, man.
The dude on the right in the photo of the perps, Carl Thomas Bennett, flashed a card with a pic of a badge on it at a woman in a Motel 6 and *allegedly* raped her with the threat that he would turn her in to ICE if she failed to comply with his demands. He has been arrested and is being held without bond. This happened, IIRC from the article, in or around Raleigh, NC. Yes, we live amongst the depraved, and rape is often a crime of opportunity, but she did nothing wrong!
O. M. G. I hadn't heard about that part of this nightmare! I don't know any women who've been raped who "did something wrong".
Even if she did do something illegal, rape is a real ass crime.
I agree, and worded it poorly. I do not believe she did anything to cause her own rape at all. Men who would rape will do so, given an opportunity. How will the case proceed against him, though, if she fails to show up in court because she is undocumented and afraid of deportation? This government will not give her asylum. There will be abuses of many kinds committed against those rounded up and forced into some sort of “camps” or are forcibly deported to other countries. I hope every voter who failed to vote for Kamala or who deliberately voted for Trump chokes on their own bile.
Thank you for the non-gaslighting post, I should have known power hungry trash would be out harassing and mark my words more violence is coming from imposters accent on State prosecution so djt can’t pardon then.
Perfect answer being, state crimes cannot be pardoned by the malodorous codpiece!
It’s a felony to impersonate a Federal officer
Lynn Haren encourage State prosecution djt could pardon for Fed crime!
Pathological narcissism plays a big role in politics and their supporters. Malignant narcissists like Nancy, are basically very insecure people who feel vulnerable and are hyper sensitive to criticism. They loose their shit. The more she screams, the more threatened she feels. Poor Nancy, 😅 she's scared of men in a dress. She's just a very insecure bully. Irrelevance is the cure. Stop putting a microphone is this bitch's face.
The weird thing is that she was the first woman to graduate from the -- at that time, very sexist, super-conservative -- Citadel Military College here in Charleston, SC. It was 1999. Even though she was a conservative, I was one of many women locally to cheer her on. No question the fact that her father was the Commandant of the Citadel during her years there so she was surely not brutally hazed as was the tradition there. Nevertheless, it seemed like a noteworthy accomplishment. Was she insane when she was a student there? Enquiring minds want to know.
For Nancy, it's how she's hardwired and conditioned. Her need for attention is pathological. She has some daddy issues. She projects her lack of emotional intelligence on others. She wishes she had a penis. Her lack of self control over her emotions is her projection of her deep insecurities. I think the whole Citadel thing was about daddy's approval. Having narcissistic parents myself, that's very obvious. She's a walking red flag.
It must’ve been nearly impossible to select only six stupid things from this week (or for that matter, ANY week in Trump’s America). I honestly don’t know his you do it.
Like feeding 58 cats with one can of cat food.
🤣😂🤣
Hi Jeff, another episode of “Golf with MAGAS”. Golf was good, winning $$ to cap it off. Lunch was another matter. MAGAS all very excited over our new bleach bottle blond, Ms Bondi. I had to respond that… well if she goes down for $20,000 from Donald what else will she do, let’s say if a Russian or a Chinese intelligence offers her more $$ what will she do/ perform. Hegseth was brought up, I replied that now he won’t be a black out drunk on the job, and I’m so fucking happy about that, then stated he could not lead a Girl Scout troop to sell those cookies. Didn’t go over too well. Next week I will bring up prosperity preacher Paula White heading up the Office of Faith, we get to pay for it.. She, of course married multiple times, multiple affairs, talking in tongues… rasa rasa rasa.. you can see it on You Tube.. It’s just all one big grift.. Best to all.
I love this. My husband and I play in a couples league that will start again when it warms up here in Southern Colorado. That gives me time to work on material.
I already have an answer for the woman who urges me to accept Jesus Christ as my savior - "I don't need a savior, but I HAVE accepted Jesus Christ as my role model. You should, too!"
PRICELESS… I’ll give you a mulligan for that quip.
Brilliant, Edith!
Office of Faith, bad enough. Paula White inspires projectile vomiting.
Let her get back to her sex life and leave us un-saved, I pray.
It takes so much effort to find such a large collection of the worst of the worst. And so much evil to unleash them on your own country. The traitorous treachery is mindboggling. He is assembling a real-life SPECTRE.
Where are you, 007?
He was fired for, you know, DOING HIS FUCKING JOB! Which is exactly where the FBI witch hunt is heading.
Take their money, Fredo!
She has already been and is being paid as a useful idiot or your everyday agent.$20,000 won’t touch it.
You outdid yourself today, Jeff. I looked at that picture of Rios and though "WTF is wrong with his hair"? Then I read your lawnmower comment. Thanks for bringing laughter into my life so early today. With a name like Nico Rios, I don't think he's one of God's chosen Aryan Nazi children. The hits just keep coming with this clown show.
"With a name like Nico Rios, I don't think he's one of God's chosen Aryan Nazi children." My reaction, as well.
God I love that cover! That’s as good as kicking him right in the ass. I’ll bet he went on a ketchup rant on that one.
When I saw it yesterday, I assumed it was a fake. So happy Jeff did the research so I wouldn’t have to and even more happy that it’s real. Now we’ll see how terrified of his co-prez the orange terrorist really is.
I hate looking at the Golden Steer's so-called face, but I would have loved to see that. I would have loved to see his aides when it arrived. They probably mutely fetched the mops and the sponges to mop up all the Heinz...
oh what a barrel of laughs you let loose!!
You had me rolling! and not just my eyes!
WTF i love how your daughter has prophetical powers now! the sign of a prophet is telling the truth that actually happens and she was right on. This era completely downs the American freedom train. Ok another totally STUPID thing is trump demanding the Chairmanship of the board of the Kennedy Center for the Arts and firing the board. So now we get World Wide Wrestling on the Potomac!
Yeah because Trump seems to think that he is an arbiter of taste and culture. I couldn't even type that with a straight face. Blick!!!
Hitler was an arbiter of taste and culture too.
True! His Nazis stole all the best and hid them because $ .
Hitler fancied HIMSELF an artist. He was not.
And just when I was thinking I couldn't be more disgusted......
…and kid rock, kanye, nugent, snoop dog…..can’t wait! ARGH!!
A totally pathetic attempt to pretend he has class —there will be a shake up in the Arts and many organizations will be bankrupted because of their refusal to play the fiddle and tap dance for the Massahs.
And he objected to drag shows. Alleged drag shows. Must have been Shakespeare as performed in his day, by young men in women’s roles.
Wow, we are talking art like oil and water djt v ART always the looser. I had offers to be an illustrator when 18yrs then I looked around at the market, no art in any home I don’t count black velvet as a background. It was but a short time later that art classes were gone. Always the first to go. Bad movies have always maintained though.
🤦🏽♀️😭😢
now how in the world of false propheteers is the man gonna carry such a UUUUGE load?
i mean he only gets 6 rounds of golf a week, operates a 24/7/365 global grift, is forever fighting his sexual urges with his next unknown victims. (i hear ivanka told him to stay away and STOP playing grab ass!)
give the man a break right across his fukin nose!
His minions are keeping him busy with golf and other activities designed to keep him out of public view while his dementia continues to worsen, and folks, that train is never late.
Man, Jeff, it's gonna be a super busy four years for you.
I can't figure out how you keep yourself from falling into a deep, deep pit of despair.
Humor. That’s why Jeff is essential
I don’t know what I’d do without him. Having said that, for a few days, things were so ghastly that I couldn’t read his column — which was a first for me. It felt almost sacreligious to laugh.
Thank you, Kd, for succinctly stating exactly how I've been feeling off and on since Jan 20. Heather Cox Richardson and Jeff are the two givens every day, then there is an additional significant list of wonderful Substackers that I enjoy. But lately, some days, I just can't look at any of it. Too painful. I don't know how y'all do it almost every day. I also wonder if Jeff and the others can tell when we don't click on and want to assure them all that it's not personal. Self preservation.
I was so touched when Jeff started adding this to the bottom of his posts:
“this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.”
Why are we surprised that Trump 2.0 is completely lawless within the structure of the Constitution? He spent 4 years avoiding consequences for an insurrection and sedition. So his oath to defend the the Constitution is a big joke, not a duty.
We shouldn't be surprised, just appalled by his actions.
He'll just say, "Well, you notice I didn't actually put my hand on the bible so that oath doesn't count."
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) in her "maiden" speech to Congress disclosed that some member(s) of the Trump cabinet refused to affirm that they would uphold the Constitution above loyalty to Trump first. It was a condition of their appointments to office, I suspect.
Oh, I'm sure it was. How dare they pledge loyalty to the country and Constitution before the king of kings!
She voted for the motherfuckers anyway.
And righteously pissed off
Does a guy like that "lawmaker" walk into a barber shop and say "gimme the 'incel' cut"?
Jesus Tapdancing Christ, that shit is hideous.
I thought maybe his kid got hold of the clippers while the dude was sleeping.
I better check out his eyebrows. Those would be the first thing I’d take care of.
yup. You'd think his wife (supposing he was actually able to convince some unfortunate female to marry him) would tell him that that haircut made him look stupid.
Well, then there's Melania ... Even her icy guts must rebel when she sees Donald's orange stage makeup and dryer lint comb-over.
