today in Shit That Happened While I Was Writing This Shit:

"Reports incoming that federal agents have shot and killed another person near Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. Multiple shots fired. 'It was an execution,' witness tells us."

oh my fucking god I fucking loathe these fucking fucks

Nuremberg 2.0 cannot come fast enough.

Ginny Hall's avatar

I don't support the death penalty, but I'd make an exception for these motherfuckers.

Claudia Montague Wheatley's avatar

Donald Trump's first term turned me from a passionate opponent of the death penalty to an opponent who is willing to make exceptions for traitors.

Hang 'em. Stevie Miller, JD Vance and the rest of them, too.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I really want a crack at Miller. He's foul. Hand me a rotten egg.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I've said before I deeply resent people comparing someone who is Jewish to Nazis.

I make an exception for Stephen Miller.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Me too. And poor Laura Loomer is learning the extreme far right (clowns such as JD Fake Catholic) makes no exception for her (I just learned she is also Jewish.)

Pete Gorton's avatar

Anastasia, actually, putting him (miller) in Stocks before the egg delivery will create better feelings of success!

He should have been stuffed in a seabag and thrown off the Santa Monica Pier in the middle of a winter storm back when he was just the most annoying high school shitbird ever.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

That would be majorly gratifying!

Martha Howell's avatar

I would be pleased if the stocks came back. I would grow my own produce for the occasion. I'm going to just keep imagining the sound of a head of iceberg hitting Miller's head.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Such a waste of good produce though.

Patricia Williamson's avatar

And all the Republican Congress.

Lois Henry's avatar

I’m more firing squad oriented lately.

And it should start with a round of shots over their heads and at their feet to make them $hit themselves in terror first.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Don’t forget the billionaire cabal that have legislated, and waged this war on us Ginny!

Chicky Mama's avatar

Execute them with the slowest means possible

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

This is why I want Trump in a gold-free prison cell with nothing but vegetables and other healthy foods to eat and shelves of books (they can be entertaining airport type books) but no access to social media.

TCinLA's avatar

Put him in a windowless cell, with the walls covered by photos of the people he killed, then leave him there with no one paying attention to him, feeding him slop on a tray through a slot in the door. He'll kill himself.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

"No one paying attention to him" would be the killer. He'd probably die from lack of attention. It's his drug.

A few of those thin orange blankets and bunkbeds, too. Just as reminders for why he best not even think about trading dirt for leniency.

Pete Gorton's avatar

Hey, Chicky, boiling in Venezuelan oil?

Doreen Dalesandro's avatar

Chicky, and most painful way possible.

Sister Artemis's avatar

I don't either, and in fact think if you want to deliver a painful lesson, a lifetime in prison is a just punishment. I don't advocate prison cruelty, but limitation of what you can do, and who you can interact with PRECISELY because you are too much of an asshole and too dangerous to be allowed to interact with other people? yeah, that's about perfect. Make sure the meals are nutritous but flavorless, and the blankets are warm but scratchy.

Tracey Johnson's avatar

Same, in my case due to the overwhelming documentation of their crimes, no innocents prosecuted in that bunch.

Bob Bowden's avatar

The guillotine has only been out of service since 1981. I hope someone has kept the mechanism oiled and the blade sharpened

Lucius's avatar

There are plenty of people here who have the necessary woodworking and metallurgical skills to build new ones. I know a couple who would happily lend their time as well.

Claudia Montague Wheatley's avatar

I prefer hanging.

It's more traditional for this country.

I'm sorta conventional that way.

arne link's avatar

But not with a quick drop. Just string em up.

BluDotInARedSewer's avatar

Maybe start with the feet on a platform that lowers a little bit at a time. Just to really make it fun for them. Slow and steady wins the race.

TCinLA's avatar

Hanged, drawn and quartered, the traditional punishment for traitors. In public.

Ellyn's avatar

Ala Mussolini

Ole Anderson's avatar

No. Mussolini was not quartered. His body was hacked hard by a group of peasants then hoisted on a rope to rot in the wind. His wife beside him. She got the same treatment

Ellyn's avatar

Sorry- I didn’t mean to exactly duplicate the drawing/quartering part- you’re absolutely right.

And I’d be happy to see him “just” strung up like Mussolini.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

He was shot first, then his body was taken to the square and hung by his ankles, for the people to curse and spit on him, others punched and clubbed him. You got it right Ole!

arne link's avatar

No, ladies first! Crusty Gnome has to go first.

Chicky Mama's avatar

No oil and a dull blade

Tracey Johnson's avatar

That's what I was thinking.

Rhesus's avatar

Don't bother to sharpen the blade. If it requires a second or third whack, so be it.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

I sharpen all my tools more than simply razor sharp, the weight of the massive blade won’t require a second shot guaranteed Rheus.

michellefromchicago's avatar

We will need plenty of tumbrils, too

arne link's avatar

We should invest in tumbrils and sage (for cleansing the white house after he departs).

michellefromchicago's avatar

I suspect that cleaning will take far more than sage....

Keith's avatar

burn it down with ALL his tacky crap!

TCinLA's avatar

No. Remove everything into a dumpster, then take it to the city dump. In public. Every single reminder of him, and tear down the dance hall and all that goes to the dump. Televised.

Terri Nighswonger's avatar

Hey I really like that

I can picture them being tied to a stake and having rotten eggs thrown at them until as long as it takes.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Impaled on the stake perhaps? I am another who had no idea that there were such reservoirs of hate within me until this past year.

Sooz Hall's avatar

Ok, so do we pick summer, when it’ll be heat & dehydration? Or winter, when they’ll freeze? Definitely not spring. The cherry blossoms are too pure to force them to be in the same time as that.

Carol C's avatar

Summer, my vote. The fumes probably stronger then.

BluDotInARedSewer's avatar

And ants. Lots of ants. They love eggs.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

A favorite revolution device Bob!

HI2thDoc's avatar

They gotta impeach Bondi and Blanche and all the corrupt assholes in the DOJ who refuse to investigate and are covering up instead

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Impeachment isn’t punishment enough Doc… the chaos and terror they’ve unleashed on us requires retribution.

HI2thDoc's avatar

You're right, of course, but I want them legally removed from office for now and then the prosecution of them can come later

Ole Anderson's avatar

I don’t see anything happening until the Midterms. If we even have them- he is Hell bent on declaring an Insurrection Act out of his Ass ( or is that ‘In your Pants’?!) to cancel the Midterms. He knows he will lose the House and quite likely the Senate, too and that will stop a Lot of his BullShit in It’s tracks!

And he still has Leon to muddle with the voting machine tabulations as was done in the 8 swing States. And in answer to which Kamala caved completely and gave a Big ol Toothy horse grin. as she turned over the keys to the US Govt. to trump without a peep.

WTF?!?

Yarnartist's avatar

This week I watched a movie I had heard of but never seen: “I Spit On Your Grave”, the 2010 remake. While watching it, the rapists sort of morphed into ICE agents in my head, and the young woman’s revenge on them was deeply satisfying. I think I’m going to go watch the other two versions. 😉

Kathleen Weber's avatar

If Trump can rename cabinet positions, so can we. The Department of Homeland Security is now the Department of Domestic Warfare. After all, he told us, "The enemy is within." 

Robert Eckert's avatar

Hegseth is the Secretary of War, so that makes Kennedy the Secretary of Pestilence, Bessent the Secretary of Famine, and Noem the Secretary of Death.

Tess's avatar

I just saw the video…sickening……😭😭😭

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I can't even bring myself to watch it

Kay-El's avatar

I did and now I’m fucking shaking with anger.

Major Kong's avatar

I counted 8 shots, directed into a man on the ground.

TCinLA's avatar

There are officially seven. Including five fired into his body after he's dead, after which the scum is overheard on video saying "It's just like Call of Duty! Pretty cool, huh?"

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

After a few of them beat him senseless.

arne link's avatar

Wow, and they had a throw-down all ready, I heard.

KP Johnson Austin, TX's avatar

But no consequences--no accountability. Lawless president and administration.

Bill Corbett's avatar

I did and now my blood pressure is fucked up for the day. Murder in America by ICE. WTF is going on and I don’t think we can wait until November to fix this.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Bill.... same here. I feel like a two ton weight is on my chest right now. Are we headed into a civil war? I mean, the violence is escalating. I'm just sick.

Lucius's avatar

We've been in one since January sixth and arguably before then. Congressional Dems just refuse to admit it.

Bill Corbett's avatar

Susan, I don’t know but I’m certainly very concerned and at the same time ready to defend my family and my fellow citizens against this evil. If I get shot like this individual today, so be it. I will not fucking submit to this shit. I think I’m in good company.

Heather's avatar

I find myself unable to stop watching it, like my brain can’t compute what just happened. It’s definitely an execution.

Wendymae's avatar

Same here. It looked like the victim could have already been not moving before the first of 9 (that I counted) shots were fired. JFC.

Kim Steeves's avatar

Sadly, watched it in slow motion to actually try to see how, why, .......

The second one. The first one was hard enough to watch.

Wait until election day for the midterms. Trump believes a lot of illegals will be voting for Democrats. I wish the Democratic leadership's hair is on fire because Trump isn't going to let the Dems get control of congress.

Kim Steeves's avatar

From your lips to the Dem's ears!

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

Don't. No need. Back away, take a break, hug Ms. Spouse and watch happy puppy videos for now.

SPW's avatar

An ICU VA nurse 🤬. Just hearing the gunshots made me sick after reading what had happened. Every time we see or read about another one of their wanton killings, I keep asking myself when will the camel’s back finally be broken. How much exposure to their violence will it take to finally move the powers that still can to do something about this abuse? And then I remember what all Black people went through to finally wake this somnambulant country up to the centuries of lynchings, burnings, bombings, beatings, dog attacks and fire hosings all on peaceful protestors or on folks wanting to vote or just live their lives in peace, and pass the Civil Rights Bill.

Well sleepy time America, the very people who have gotten away with murder and mayhem thanks to the criminal gang currently in power, finally have the proverbial bit between their teeth and are going after anyone they feel like now. The day we’ve been warned about has come. Minneapolis is our 9/11; our Pearl Harbor so what’s next?

Maria K 🇮🇪's avatar

It’s Heartbreakingly Horrendous Jeff….

Don't do it, I severely regret. The rage in me won't back down right now.

Christine Zepka's avatar

I did, you were wise. And the rats scampered away when it happened 🤬

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Half the ICE holes literally fled like cowardly gang members after the shooting. Send this video to the seven House Democrats who voted to increase ICE funding by $28 billion. Send it to the Supreme Court. This is on them.

Sandie Becker's avatar

SCOTUS beat their collective meat to snuff and porn films so they'd enjoy it

michellefromchicago's avatar

That’s because they ARE cowardly gang members

Rick in CO's avatar

They looked like cockroaches scattering when the light flipped on. Creepy mfers!

Kay's avatar

The seven Dems or some of them voted the way they did to avoid another gov shutdown. BS I say. Cankles has denied or cut or cancelled so many programs, some aimed directly at blue states, that a shutdown won’t make a bit of difference. Now, if the Dems finally do the right thing it will shut down anyway.

Lisa59's avatar

It appears they killed a 51 yr old male observer. The KKK/WifeBeaters said he had a gun. They probably planted it. Of course, everything they say is a fucking lie. There's plenty of slow motion video on Reddit. I'm sick to my stomach. Cocksucking limpdick low IQ piece of pig shit motherfuckers. Fucking dumb asses in this country.

TCinLA's avatar

He's been identified as 37-year old Alex Pretti - white male US citizen.

Lisa59's avatar

He was an ICU nurse. Everyone is fucking freaking the fuck out right now. Minnesota called out the National Guard.

Carol Jacobson's avatar

OMG! I am stealing your description of these assholes. I couldn’t have said it better!

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

"He had a weapon" being announced immediately afterward with no additional info sounds like more advance excuse-making. What weapons? Was it visible? Did he use its? Did he have a valid permit to have it on his person? Just "he had a weapon" no way justifies murdering someone in cold blood.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

He was filming ICE with his camera. The POS's are lying.

Marian Goldsmith's avatar

Well cameras ARE weapons. Some of the best peacekeepers have. And retaliation is what they've got. Absolutely terrifyingly frightening.

Kim Steeves's avatar

He did supposably have permits to carry guns.

Lin Talbot-Koehl's avatar

And if he DID have permits, & he WAS carrying at the time....

Killing him was STILL ILLEGAL.

Kim Steeves's avatar

Totally Agree!!!

Kim Steeves's avatar

Totally agree!!!

Robert Eckert's avatar

So where are all those Second Amendment advocates? Legal open carry is a death sentence now?

Keith's avatar

the only weapons drawn were by the PIGS!

TCinLA's avatar

An old Sixties term that should be brought back.

Lisa59's avatar

Update: he was a 37 yr old US citizen.

Tracey Johnson's avatar

Literally EVERYTHING they say is a lie. I agree with your colorful description of them.

BluDotInARedSewer's avatar

Minnesota is an open carry state. He probably had a gun on him but i doubt he was brandishing it. I just cannot watch this video. When they assassinated Ms. Good, I watched it over and over from every angle and it really fucked with my head. This one will probably put me in a padded cell.

Lisa59's avatar

I understand. He didn't pull out his gun. Ever. He was helping others being tear gassed. He was tear gassed and they took him down.One agent took his gun that was in his holster at his side. And then they shot him 10x. The wife beater who shot him was jumping up and down. Another piece of shit agent was clapping.

These guys are pumped for violence. They're psychopathic abusers who couldn't pass a drug test, a cognitive exam, or a background check. I wonder how many of them are pedophiles that can't be 100 ft near a school.

Susan Niemann's avatar

LISA! Thinking of you all day today. JESUS CHRIST! I have no words... Ive been calling and emailing every goddamn rep. I feel so helpless. Love you.

Lisa59's avatar

This is insane. It's such a feeling of dread. The turd Reich doesn't care if we live or die. They're attacking smaller cities thinking the optics would be better. I guess they blew that. We can sit on our front lawns with guns. 2nd amendment and all. Some are doing that. Seeing the wife beaters clap and cheer when they murder someone is just…wow. They fist pump when they injure people. The psychopaths are running the country. I don't know what is going to happen. Fuck!! I don't even want to leave my house. Certainly not taking my grandson anywhere right now. Fuck! 🫣 Love you too!

Sounded to me like at least 6 shots.

Won't be long till they start issuing them AR15's.

Bob's avatar

9, maybe 10. While he’s on the ground.

Keith's avatar

on his knees and hands face down being pummeled by 2 fuks then come the first 2 shots followed by rapid fire

another 'i'm gonna make sure you understand just WHO THE FUK IS IN CHARGE!'

Bob's avatar

When a protester called out the thug behavior, one of the agents said, “Boo hoo.”

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

News updates report the victim was just filming ICE with his camera, not armed.

arne link's avatar

Keith's avatar

Yarnartist's avatar

JFC. How can we stop this!????? I mean... how does anyone deny a CHILD emergency health care????

rlritt's avatar

How does somebody put children in concentration camps? Don't expect anything but sadism from. ICE.

I've met guys like this. I have an exfriend who was a cop in Chicago. He had such a chip on his shoulder. Got forbid you said anything that he might consider is a slight he would go ballistic. And he hated Blacks, Latinos , women, gays, Jews, Educated people. He assumed everyone was disrespecting him. Those are the guys who join ICE: scared little men.

TCinLA's avatar

My reaction too. This is all on the GQP. Republicans are murdering America.

Lucius's avatar

There's blame to go around on our side too. House Democrats voted to continue to fund ICE, and given that Schumer is in charge of the Senate Dems it's only a matter of how pathetic their surrender is going to be.

Will's avatar
1dEdited

You left out the detail that it was an extremely small percentage of House Dems -- and those Democrats deserve to be chastised and voted out. But there's nothing complicated about this. Democrats are the only people standing between us and a dictatorship.

Punkette's avatar

Agree, Will. I am no longer a Democrat. I broke up with the party in 2010 (after Dem leadership broke my heart one too many times) and became a registered Independent. But my heart is true blue. I firmly believe if Dems had the power right now, and Kamala was president, this horror would not be happening. And the mango menace would be in prison for life.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Jeffries declined to "whip" the vote: that is, make plain that every single Democrat needed to vote as a bloc or be expelled from the Democratic caucus. If the Dems had been solid, the funding bill would have failed, assuming Massie was a solid No.

Susan Niemann's avatar

I called Jeffries tonight and told him basically what you said...I called him yesterday too. He is weak and not a leader and certainly not looking out for whats right. In my message I told him he needs to be stronger and assertive and make shit happen. I'm sure it fell on deaf ears but .... you have to try. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Lucius's avatar

Jeffries flat out said he wouldn't try to get the caucus to vote against the funding.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

what were his exact words? I am sick of the demonization of Jeffries, which is basically like us disarming.

TCinLA's avatar

Watch everything change Monday. An event like this does that.

Punkette's avatar

Agree - but Republicans are in charge of everything right now, and I will continue to hold them accountable. Traitors and enablers.

Trump loves Putin. Putin must subdue Ukraine, and Trump has to conquer his own renegade provinces. Putin sent his army into eastern Ukraine in 2014 wearing disguises. Trump formed an army in 2025 and sent it into American cities wearing disguises. They should rename the Department of Homeland Security the Department of Domestic War.

What's the difference between what the ICE thugs are doing in Minneapolis and the Ayatollah's thugs are doing Tehran?

Linda Weide's avatar

I just read about that in a Signal chat group, before reading your newsletter. And there are 7 Democrats who voted to give ICE more money. There was no ICE before 2003. While I don't want to go back to that time, I wish ICE would go back to 2002.

Jan Moon's avatar

Francesca Fiorentini described ICE agents on The Left Hook yesterday. I'm shamelessly paraphrasing so forgive me . . .

This murder was premeditated by trumpf, noem and bondi to initiate a riot so that he could invoke the insurrection act. Magats are getting what they have fantasized for over 10 years- a civil war. Betting the situation wiil escalate and trumpf will send in warmonger hegseth’s army. Probably before dark. This is beyond insanity. The administration are collectively all psychopaths.

And I hope all the congress critters including democrats that voted to approve an obscene budget for noem and the dhs spend their nights starting today staring at the ceiling and feeling like shit. Vote them all out.

Steven Young's avatar

And as our friend Jeff Tiedrich would say, it’s time for the media to commit journalism and not let up. This can’t be normalized like just another day in the trumpf administration. The lies that have already convicted Alex Pretti as a terrorist.

Details are still unclear, but it seems the victim had a permit to carry, yet when the gun was discovered, ICE opened fire. Do we have a Second Amendment or not?

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

WHEN the gun was discovered — or they discovered it afterwards and used it as an excuse? Who said? Cops lie. Cops claimed they warned Tamir Rice three times to put down the toy gun they claimed he was "brandishing" and video showed they lied — they rolled up on him and the cop jumped out and murdered him in 3 seconds. In the Laquan McDonald case, the cops claimed he was coming at them and when video was finally released after the odious Rahm Emanuel sat on it until his reelection as mayor (making the Washington Post's tongue bath of a story yesterday suggesting he was a Democratic prospect for 2028 entirely laughable), it revealed he was running away. I'm sick of the "He was no saint" b.s. — he wasn't threatening the cops. Again, cops lie. When the stories don't add up, always assume the cops are lying.

Bob's avatar

F1 would take one look at potential course routes, where the paddock and pits would go and dismiss it out of hand. Plus, the FIA takes strong dislike to anyone dragging politics into their events. Donny would want to be front and center with a microphone. That’s an even bigger nope than the lack of facilities.

Even so, who is going to pay for an IndyCar street race? It ain’t cheap.

They had two idiotic NASCAR races in downtown Chicago. Apparently, they won't be back.

Ole Anderson's avatar

They were actually two very successful races and it will be back in 2027 after running the 2026 race at Chicagoland

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

They weren't remotely successful. I didn't see figures for the second, but the first was utterly upended by rain, with numerous auxiliary events cancelled or poorly attended. And I'm pretty sure they did not extend the original contract. Also it's in Joliet in 2026, not Chicago.

Ole Anderson's avatar

You are mistaken. It will return to the Downtown streets in 2027

"fun fact: there are no penguins to be found in Greenland — or, in fact, the entire arctic. penguins are native only to Antarctica." Funner fact: the video showing a penguin marching into the mountains was documenting a poorly-understood derangement sometimes seen among penguins where they determinedly march to their deaths. https://youtu.be/mnTU_hJoByA

I saw those adorable animals when I was in Antarctica last year. Didn't know that about them. Another funner fact: when I was in Finland, our guide said polar bears are only seen in the Arctic. Didn't know that either.

Kathleen, it already has. And then there's all the health issues stemming from a decade of non-stop anger and frustration. My life expectancy has shrunk from 90 to 75, and I'm 72 now. Without my cat depending on me, and the availability of escapist books on kindle, I would have died the night of the disastrous debate between tRump and the failing Joe Biden. I seriously considered suicide that night.

Kathleen Weber's avatar

Sweetie I'm 75. I try to reframe my anger— I'm too pissed off to die! Please figure out how to survive. I'm already planning a Jeff Tiedrich reunion to celebrate the death of Trump. We will all piss on his grave together. Promise! And will drink a lot of beer so we can all do it multiple times.

The Titanic was one of the last gilded age ships. A bunch of oligarchs of the time went down on it- like the Straus’ (Macys), Ben Guggenheim & John Jacob Astor (of course, they took mostly 2nd & 3rd class passengers with them- I guess in the parallel, that’s people like me-and maybe you.)

Anyway, it’s about time for trump regime’s gilded age ship to slide along the iceberg and sink in less than an hour- despite them telling us it’s all unsinkable (crypto/tariffs, anyone?) with not enough lifeboats for the oligarchs. Knowing the pattern, we in the poorer classes should build our lifeboats about now.

We should get prepared for this crash trump doesn’t seem to see coming.

Punkette's avatar

Jeff, I must share this.

The Pedophile-in-Chief strikes again! Burying the Epstein Files isn’t enough … (reported by Aaron Parnas):

The Guardian has confirmed that the Trump administration has sharply cut funding, training, and grants for law enforcement and prosecutors handling child sex exploitation cases, including canceling a major national training conference and withholding ICAC task force funds, moves that prosecutors and investigators say are hindering investigations, weakening coordination, and putting vulnerable children at greater risk.

Kay-El's avatar

I saw this too and my first thought was “of course he did, pedophile enabling other pedophiles”.

Pedo-club is Trump’s favorite Kay!

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Especially when his Mara Lardo pedo-club supplied the victims Kay

Ole Anderson's avatar

I’m beginning to think what’s in the Epstein files is much darker and deeper than we even expected to see.

Only way to know is to drag them out into the Light and have a look 👀!

Oh, we might need a functioning Congress to uphold the Law which was just passed Requiring that very thing!

Kay-El's avatar

Agreed. I don’t even want to see the gory details, just the names of the perps.

He called them mom and pops 5, 10, 12 houses! Then said something like ‘we’ don’t want to force them to sell but ‘we’re’ trying to get rid of the others! If it is their desire to allow only 2 pencils, 2 dolls, a 3 dollar ration of food I am pretty sure it’s on the table to limit mom and dad from owning more than one home. Maybe two.

And you didn’t mention that now the polio vaccine is optional because that paralytic disease was just so much fun. Way to bring back eradicated diseases!

Lise Buranen's avatar

I guess they all must think they have some sort of natural immunity to all these diseases. You can understand wanting nothing to do with them, but I don't think viruses operate that way.

Carol C's avatar

I knew a 90-year-old who rejected vaccines, but most of us geezers remember that polio was something to be feared. My dad would not stop on a car trip, even for gas, in a town experiencing a polio outbreak, to protect me before the vaccine was available. I had a classmate with a polio limp.

The young don’t care to hear about what geezers know from experience, I guess.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Fortunately I'm just "young" enough to already be protected from polio. For those who want to know what those times were like, read Philip Roth's last (short) novel, "Nemesis."

arne link's avatar

I remember the polio era very well. I, too, had classmates with withered and useless limbs. Since there is no polio now, the young have not seen it.

Carol C's avatar

The polio vaccine was always optional in that the federal government could not require that anyone take it. It was recommended, not required. Now it is not even recommended for all children, and it may be that pharmaceutical manufacturers may decrease production, making it hard for people to get it who understand its usefulness.

I have never heard him compared to Chucky, and it's perfect. To the AImobile.

JD Vance has to be one of the densest dolts ever in politics. He's even getting people to insult Yale-educated lawyers, and I know a wonderful man who got his degree at Yale, who does civil rights and voting rights cases and represents Tamir Rice's mom, to mention another case of someone being arbitrarily murdered by cops who lied about it. I last saw him at the No ICE rally a few weeks ago, where he spoke.
