Neither did I, and I thank Jeff and other alternative media journalists for doing it for me so I’m not clueless about what happened (even though I’d like to be!).
I can’t believe the so-called “left-wing media” is doing what they’re doing. I’m so glad I found Jeff’s Substack; this and Heather Cox Richardson are the only way we have of getting the truth anymore.
How is this for telling the racist sexist contingent of the Democratic party who hate Harris and pretend it is Biden they don't want that too damn bad, they have to live with a ticket that has both of them on it. These are the real racist tropes. You hate Harris, but pretend that the problem is that Biden is too old, but don't mention one word of Trump being old when he is only 3 years younger. Hats off to the NYT and WaPo and every Dem that jumped on this Putin conjured fantasy.
AOC brought another point I had not considered: The Republicans will go to court all the way to SCOTUS and invalidate any sudden change to the names on the ballots in the swing states. To which I respond with Aesop: READ the fucking dumb-ass dog with a bone in its mouth drooling over an illusion story, Dems!!!
"The Dog and Its Reflection is one of Aesop's Fables... teaching the lesson to be contented with what one has and not to relinquish substance for shadow."
STOP ripping defeat out of the jaws of victory. Biden has the best presidential record and the majority of voters will fill in the blank next to his name because it's familiar, like, he's the INCUMBENT. WTF?!
I'm with you. Might I suggest The Dean's Report by Dean Obedallah here on Substack. Today he has takes from his Radio Show following the convention. I'm going to try to copy the links...but this is the first time I've done it, so that's why I'm telling you where it's coming from so you can see them for yourself!🙃https://youtu.be/dEflmjekL2E; https://youtu.be/GhoK29rfaKI; https://youtu.be/uOBE_mx2qTg
Anyone else wanna see a pic under the carpet of "the uneven floor" Rudy Colludy "tripped over"? Looks like he couldn't walk a straight line and crashed into empty seats.
This!!!!! Didn't bankruptcy judge just throw his case out? Rudy had claimed he needed $43,000 per month for living expenses. Got a NYC mansion for sale & condo in FL. Most likely a luxury condo. Hope creditors, after Ruby and Shay are pd in full, take it ALL.
I watched his entire,rambling screed of a rally speech, I mean acceptance speech. Evidently about half was his speech as written and half improvised. Of course there were approximately 25 lies, including “crime is exploding” “hundreds of thousands of ‘illegals’ are pouring over the border every day” “Venezuelan has less crime than the US” and “Sleepy Joe Biden doesn’t know his own name. “Sleepy Joe” is pretty funny since tfg fell asleep during his son’s speeches. He also included his favorites: “crazy Nancy” “battery/shark” and “the late, great Hannibal Lecter” plus a new one “the next RNC convention” will be held in Venezuela.” It was just as awful, if not even more awful,” than you can imagine.
I flipped back and forth between the Bulwark and The Coffee Klatch. I agreed with nearly all the comments. It was hard though, keeping my cool while tfg pounded out lie after lie.
I currently get my political news from Jeff, Heather Cox Richardson, and Adam Kinzinger and thats about it. I am in a better place mentally now because I just can’t put up with these assholes anymore.
Me, too! On Instagram, PBS showed photos of the dancing costumed freak cultists! The comments were right on, regarding "just normalizing" the whole trump fest 🤮🤮🤮
I think it was the Wednesday before the "debate" when I turned the power distribution box off to the TV equipment. (the box is a Furman PL-Plus) ...It's been off almost a month, now.
Checked back into TV-land a couple of days ago and it literally made me dizzy. Back off it went.
It's bad for ya. It's become like Videodrome. It has a philosophy.
NPR had three variations (re: the speech) for their top of the hour news- each shaded for a slightly different demographic - super interesting to hear the word choices and emphasis change from 6, 7 & 8:00am!
A shitshow that exactly none of whom needs to know why it's a shitshow could admit considering it. Not even if trmp, itself began its speech with "I'm a lying, hate-obsessed, toddler-level moron about to deliver another shitshow, and every one of you is a vile idiot for listening to me."
Bill Maher had a list of the acceptance speech lies and asked Rep Byron Donalds to his face: HOW CAN YOU SIT & LISTEN TO THIS CRAP!?Bill REALLY kept saying ‘I HATE how this guy refuses to CONCEDE!’ He did NOT win the 2020 Election. FFS
As Heather Lofthouse in Coffee Klatch today with Robert Reich, who kindly invited us to join them cover plus fact check the super long acceptance speech of Trump at the RNC convention, shared comments from those watching with them. Most of them were “I’d rather have a colonoscopy”. My husband and I decided to go to the cinema and watch Twisters as we knew that today we would have Jeff, Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Rick Wilson et al to inform us avoiding the vitriol and dystopian spectacle.
I tried. I got as far as the national anthem, after which I threw up, and had to take my hearing aids out for a while. The feedback in them was horrific.
I heard m aga hated it, too… what were Haley and Desantis doing there, some unwanted pro/choice ppl - they thought it was a sh*Tshow also, ironically fwiw
Whatta week. Anyone else upping their blood pressure meds? Matty now fits right in with all the Trump women! And Tiff oughta just take her $10 of inheritance and call it a day. But maybe the best was Rudy 😂😂. He will rot in cheap scotch and dissolve. Have a calm weekend everyone. I’ll be writing postcards to Wisconsin voters! 💙💙
Let's put it this way, the lame-stream media and the backstabbing Congressional Democrats are definitely NOT in step with ACTUAL voters. Right now, the only thing keeping me staying is speaking with people from all political parties, age groups and demographics, mostly in the swing states, that are overwhelmingly voting for biden. Of course I have a few hang up calls, but I have pretty thick skin so I don't let it bug me too much. I am just so angry at the Democrats right now...😡
I have got to get into this. Do you happen to have a handy URL? I suppose one has to buy one's own stamps, but whatever it takes to keep that demon away from the White House.
And, yes, we buy the stamps, but it's worth it -- and I say this as someone who is literally poor (my food budget is $5 a day; I've had only one salon haircut in the past 7 years; I don't have any streaming services; I don't own a TV or a smartphone or even a dining-room table; and Jeff's $5/mo Substack is the only non-essential in my budget).
(They are paused for the moment because they have had such a huge influx of volunteers. Don’t let the corporations convince you that we are apathetic!)
Absolutely we’re not apathetic!! I haven’t seen such commitment from people in the comment sections all over SM of every kind. Democrats are fired up to win.
If you look fast, you can see Tiffany's facial expression change. So humiliating for her. She should just forget this horrible family and run the other way.
It's still her dad. No one wants to be snubbed by their parents, especially when he slobbers all over Ivanka. I don't know how big Marla's family is, but if she breaks it off with her dad, then that's a huge part of any family she has, gone. Her husband is from a very wealthy family so she doesn't need daddy's money. Maybe she'll luck out and have found a good husband.
I did see her expression change, Rene. To me, it would be sweet revenge for her if she were to go Democrat and start "stumping" for Joe. Betcha the ConDon would remember her name then!
I’m sure he had her sign a prenup. And if that’s the case, I would put a lot of distance between herself and daddy. Because daddy doesn’t give a fuck about her.
Her mother, Marla Maples, is as scummy as djt (as are/were all of his wives), so I wouldn't count on Tiff's being a good person. She simply hasn't had enough media exposure for us to know how loathsome she is.
Awright, not gonna argue. It does say sumpin' about any woman who would marry him. I cannot imagine that he treats them like anything more that an accessory
There is an awful lot of stupid in American politics and even more money. Funny how money can buy so much stupid. This is the weekend to kick in small donations for Joe Biden. "Money talks and bullshit walks". If enough of us give this weekend perhaps it will make news next week.
No problem with Kamala here; Californians have been watching her for years, and she is fierce, caring and (wait for it, billionaires) she can think for herself.
Billionaires are set to lose Trump’s big tax cuts when they expire next year. Clooney, for example, will pay millions more unless the cuts are restored. It is likely that simple. They may not want a Republican, but they want to get their money’s worth. Maybe if a few million of us kick in ten bucks for Joe this weekend it would send a message. I hope he bounces right up and kicks some ass. It offends me that we voters are being treated like so many mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed bullshit.
The tax cuts have to expire because that was the only way the Congressional Budget Office could allow the massive cuts in the reconciliation act of 2017. Otherwise their impact on the deficit and debt would exceed the amount allowed under the terms of a reconciliation bill that isn’t subject to filibuster by the Democrats. It was widely predicted at the time that the expiration would only happen under a Democratic administration , providing a very powerful reason for the wealthy to wreck havoc with the President’s 2024 campaign. If the media reporters and Democrats joining in the effort to throw the election to Trump ever knew this about the Trump tax cuts, they’ve either forgotten or choose to ignore it out of personal animus toward Biden and his stellar accomplishments in the last 4 years. I include the commenters found not here but in response to antiBiden pieces in the NYT and WaPo, like yesterday’s NYT piece on “resentful Biden” which read like a high school gossip fest from “Mean Girls.” “Ooo, Joe is dissing Nancy, he thinks she’s bad-mouthing him to Adam and the rest of the cheerleaders!”
Wealthy people, as a rule, could care less about social issues. They have enough money to isolate themselves from brown people and if they need an abortion, there's plenty of money to go to another country and get one. They are insulated from the issues that the rest of us would have to face under Trump. So they're only in it for the money. From what I've observed of most wealthy people, there's a ruthlessness there or they wouldn't have the money they have (unless it's inherited). So you're not dealing with the guilt ridden save the world bunch.
Yep. Many who acquire huge wealth are somewhat ruthless, even sociopathic. But those who inherited great wealth are often just as bad. Timothy Mellon and Rebekah Mercer are perfect examples, doing their best to protect the status quo concentration of wealth and influence in white hands. If someone of that social rank needs anything putatively illegal, including an abortion, they can assuredly get it. Laws are only for the hoi polloi, the great mass of us without such wealth, power, and privilege
It's a cult. Read about cults. Kind of like talking about an addict. Behavior that you can't understand because of their thought process. Don't try and understand it. You refuse a call of sympathy from the president because your dead husband wouldn't like it? These are not rational people and quit treating them like they are.
What was concerning and sad is that the wife seems to have been so subservient to her husband that even though he's dead, she doesn't want to make him mad.
That was both disgusting and despicable. It 's pure Trump though. He is not capable of any human emotion except anger. He has no idea what the dead firefighter's family is going through, because he only thing he sees in other people is whether they are adequate mirrors of his grandiosity. Dead people and grieving people are useless to him.
I don’t understand how all of those Evangelicals who worship drumph & are behind P-25 & want to ban all porn, all the way down to photos of great works of sculpture, can approve of Amber Rose speaking at the convention. Do they not know what an Only Fans performer does??
“ There is a little known codicil in the Faber College Constitution which gives the dean unlimited power to preserve order in time of campus emergency”. Dean Faber
Tuesday's performance by Rudy exposed the fact that the "Party of Family Values" biggest party had an open bar. Tiffany thought she could bounce Ivanka off of the throne. Not gonna happen. As for the complete dereliction of duty in the media......Politico has been rolling downhill at a massive speed for awhile.
Thank you for the laugh. With SCOTUS, the press, & the donor class advocating for the overthrow of democracy, laughing feels a bit like rearranging deck chairs as the Titanic sinks. And I still appreciate it.
Yes he did want her to abort Tiffany.. how fucked up is that?!? Knowing Daddy never wanted you.. wanted Mommy to abort you because he’s a selfish self center fucking prick.. the only one who should’ve been aborted was and is DonnyFuckfaceGriftingToadStoolAssMunchEnglishIsHisSecondLanguageReject!! Fuck this Blubbering Orange Bitch 🖕🏽 flush this piece of 💩!!
I remember a clip I saw where donny and Marla were being interviewed They announced she was pregnant and donny says "yes she is pregnant" then asks Marla "and are we happy about that?" and Marla kinda looks perturbed and replies "yes we are happy about that! He would have totally been on board if Marla had wanted an abortion. Sorry Tiffany! She was so lovely on her wedding day and I hoped she would disown the trumps, at least don. She has her husband that is the son of a billionaire, or so I read. But she didn't. She is pathetically trying to be relevant to her dad. It's really sad. I;m disappointed she wants to be part of his campaign and administration if he wins. Which he won't. Oh well, she had her chance at being the "good one", like a Mary.
I'm wondering where the daylight is between the MSM's adulation for the Demented Convicted Felon and those pushing the effort to kill Biden's nomination. That's a lie - I'm not wondering at all. Those power brokers are one and the same.
I'm still trying to get home - 32 hours and counting - after the Great Crowdstrike Outage. Thank God we have calm Joe at the helm and brilliant Secretary Pete explaining our rights. Can you imagine the MAGA screechfest if Trump had a platform? People would have been punching each other in every airport. Instead, everyone stayed calm and polite. Civility in our shared frustration was the norm. Thanks, Joe.
Wow! Great stupid wrap up for the week! Idiot Mikey Johnson, idiot Colludy, idiot large marge spork toes, and the two-fer-pervert and unknown child…and not to be forgotten (unfortunately)-the idiotic media. However your wrap up vocabulary was hilarious! Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm proud to say I didn't watch one minute of that fucking hate-fest of the Republican trash. Nope.
Neither did I, and I thank Jeff and other alternative media journalists for doing it for me so I’m not clueless about what happened (even though I’d like to be!).
Same. I could never have watched and I’m just learning about the Rudy tumble.
I can’t believe the so-called “left-wing media” is doing what they’re doing. I’m so glad I found Jeff’s Substack; this and Heather Cox Richardson are the only way we have of getting the truth anymore.
Take a look at Wonkette. You will enjoy it, I'm sure.
I actually saw Jeff comment on there. Not posting his own stuff, but commenting. It is wonderful snark and good reporting, like Mr. Tiedrich.
Thanks for the suggestion-
You're welcome. They bill themselves as "filthy and hilarious" and the comments are fun too.
And AOC. Watch this, https://youtu.be/hKOYyEjLCHI?si=BEp6KI837zCGIhir

Check out Jeff’s other site Smirking Chimp. It’s a free daily compendium of opinion pieces from people like Robert Reich and Thom Hartmann.
I'm with you. Might I suggest The Dean's Report by Dean Obedallah here on Substack. Today he has takes from his Radio Show following the convention.

Anyone else wanna see a pic under the carpet of "the uneven floor" Rudy Colludy "tripped over"? Looks like he couldn't walk a straight line and crashed into empty seats.
Hope it was an open bar. He shouldn’t be allowed to buy alcohol until he pays Ruby and Shaye.
This!!!!! Didn't bankruptcy judge just throw his case out? Rudy had claimed he needed $43,000 per month for living expenses. Got a NYC mansion for sale & condo in FL. Most likely a luxury condo. Hope creditors, after Ruby and Shay are pd in full, take it ALL.
He had ten different country club memberships! As if he even plays golf anymore! must be for the bar.
Drunk, old and corrupt is no way to get through life.
idk Deborah they keep falling up ? Sick of this
I watched his entire,rambling screed of a rally speech, I mean acceptance speech. Evidently about half was his speech as written and half improvised.

Please get good self-care after that.
I flipped back and forth between the Bulwark and The Coffee Klatch. I agreed with nearly all the comments. It was hard though, keeping my cool while tfg pounded out lie after lie.
I haven’t even watched local news to get weather & traffic reports. Not interested in a bullshit fest.
I currently get my political news from Jeff, Heather Cox Richardson, and Adam Kinzinger and thats about it. I am in a better place mentally now because I just can’t put up with these assholes anymore.
Rick Wilson is a mainstay, too; Joyce Vance's Civil Discourse.
I get my political news from Midastouch network on youtube.
I am also in a self imposed news blackout! The local news just puts the Republican crap out there with no explanation!!
I am done with MSM possibly forever!! My New Year’s resolution is to never hear mango man’s voice again. It’s going pretty well!! Thank you Jeff!!
Me, too! On Instagram, PBS showed photos of the dancing costumed freak cultists! The comments were right on, regarding "just normalizing" the whole trump fest 🤮🤮🤮

Not for me. I don't want to hear any 'versions' of lies.
Same here.
I did, and holy clown, what a shitshow.
ya got a strong stomach, pal
I keep it fit as a fiddle with lots of ale.
I like that botox or brow lift on Gaetz. Wonder if he'd give me the name of his plastic surgeon? What an absolute clown.
too bad they can't do surgery on his humanity. Lying, attention seeking, underage girl stalking creep
What the Hell happened to his eyebrows?
He looks like a Hirschfield caricature of Jack Nicholson
I think he looks like The Grinch, myself!
His skin is even starting to turn green....
He looks like Wayne Newton!
He had a brow lift, probably combined with facial injection filler.
A shitshow that exactly none of whom needs to know why it's a shitshow could admit considering it. Not even if trmp, itself began its speech with "I'm a lying, hate-obsessed, toddler-level moron about to deliver another shitshow, and every one of you is a vile idiot for listening to me."

It was worth it to watch Trump ramble away, as his poor delegates yearned to go back to the hotel.
Richard: I watched off and on, and it was in someways, sad, and in other ways, entertaining to see how low human nature can go in pursuit of power.
Covers it! :)
Me either!! I’d rather watch paint dry..
I watch my trees and tomatoes grow instead.
Me neither. It's not funny anymore. If it ever was,
As Heather Lofthouse in Coffee Klatch today with Robert Reich, who kindly invited us to join them cover plus fact check the super long acceptance speech of Trump at the RNC convention, shared comments from those watching with them. Most of them were “I’d rather have a colonoscopy”. My husband and I decided to go to the cinema and watch Twisters as we knew that today we would have Jeff, Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Rick Wilson et al to inform us avoiding the vitriol and dystopian spectacle.
Neither did I. I value my sanity and good blood pressure.
Imagine all the brain cells you saved by not watching!
I tried. I got as far as the national anthem, after which I threw up, and had to take my hearing aids out for a while. The feedback in them was horrific.
I heard m aga hated it, too… what were Haley and Desantis doing there, some unwanted pro/choice ppl - they thought it was a sh*Tshow also, ironically fwiw
me either !!!
Nor I
I always suggest for Trump’s next test of his cognition he be asked to name his children&his grandchildren.
Just get him in front of a hot mike, you so-called journalists!
Suki..😂
🤣😂🤣👏👏👏👏👏
Whatta week. Anyone else upping their blood pressure meds? Matty now fits right in with all the Trump women! And Tiff oughta just take her $10 of inheritance and call it a day. But maybe the best was Rudy 😂😂. He will rot in cheap scotch and dissolve. Have a calm weekend everyone. I’ll be writing postcards to Wisconsin voters! 💙💙
I'm still phone banking for President Biden! We have to keep going or we'll go insane. 😳
How is it going, if I may ask.
Let's put it this way, the lame-stream media and the backstabbing Congressional Democrats are definitely NOT in step with ACTUAL voters.

https://youtu.be/xIkbtxK82Kc
WOW. The dysfunction runs deep in the Trump family.
My postcards are on their way. Either for Arizona or Pennsylvania
I have Michigan postcards. Got my stamps before they went up in price for the letters I'm doing as well.
Forgot to buy stamps before the price change. Still worth it to me anyway
My stamps are sitting here ready, but no postcards yet for North Carolina 😕 Got a tracking number. Can't focus enough to check it😁
I thought we were not supposed to mail them till October. I have 200 to do.
I believe you're right....thats why my instructions say, anyway.
Correct, mail date should be October. My contribution will be headed to Arizona.
Haven’t received them yet, apologies for not being clear. Will send in Oct
I have got to get into this. Do you happen to have a handy URL? I suppose one has to buy one's own stamps, but whatever it takes to keep that demon away from the White House.
Here's one: https://postcardstovoters.org/
And, yes, we buy the stamps, but it's worth it -- and I say this as someone who is literally poor (my food budget is $5 a day; I've had only one salon haircut in the past 7 years; I don't have any streaming services; I don't own a TV or a smartphone or even a dining-room table; and Jeff's $5/mo Substack is the only non-essential in my budget).

Susan, Thank you from Wisconsin!
Great job, Susan.
If you look fast, you can see Tiffany's facial expression change. So humiliating for her. She should just forget this horrible family and run the other way.
She’s lucky he wants nothing to do with her because he’s not involving her in his shit show, but she probably doesn’t see it that way.
It's still her dad. No one wants to be snubbed by their parents, especially when he slobbers all over Ivanka. I don't know how big Marla's family is, but if she breaks it off with her dad, then that's a huge part of any family she has, gone. Her husband is from a very wealthy family so she doesn't need daddy's money. Maybe she'll luck out and have found a good husband.
Oh he didn’t recognize her? He must have ‘good days & bad days’ then? Happens to older folk I hear… 😪🙄
I did see her expression change, Rene. To me, it would be sweet revenge for her if she were to go Democrat and start "stumping" for Joe. Betcha the ConDon would remember her name then!
She better have a financial plan for the future because the mango moron would cut her off in a heartbeat— that’s if she’s in the game at all…
She’s married to a 💵 billionaire
I’m sure he had her sign a prenup. And if that’s the case, I would put a lot of distance between herself and daddy. Because daddy doesn’t give a fuck about her.
Don't forget that Trump wanted Marla to abort her. Poor Tiffany.
Her life would be in danger.
Ooooooh, Lynell, I didn’t know you had it in ya’! 😂👏
😉
Good one!
Great idea...that would take some real courage, tho.
She's probably actually too good (?) a person to abandon them and spill the beans. But the way she's treated, she oughta
Her mother, Marla Maples, is as scummy as djt (as are/were all of his wives), so I wouldn't count on Tiff's being a good person. She simply hasn't had enough media exposure for us to know how loathsome she is.
Awright, not gonna argue. It does say sumpin' about any woman who would marry him. I cannot imagine that he treats them like anything more that an accessory
I know some good people that have come from awful parents.
Yeah, it’s in the genes.
I hadn’t heard that. Huh
There is an awful lot of stupid in American politics and even more money. Funny how money can buy so much stupid. This is the weekend to kick in small donations for Joe Biden. "Money talks and bullshit walks". If enough of us give this weekend perhaps it will make news next week.
No problem with Kamala here; Californians have been watching her for years, and she is fierce, caring and (wait for it, billionaires) she can think for herself.
We'll see. I'd still rather have them as a package deal. I am very, very suspicious of the 'inside sources' who say Joe will quit the race.
Billionaires are set to lose Trump’s big tax cuts when they expire next year. Clooney, for example, will pay millions more unless the cuts are restored. It is likely that simple.

Geez, the “party of fiscal responsibility” runs up more debt than the “tax and spend” party. Just another example of conservative mythologizing
Forgotten, or personal animus, or the fact that media ownership is in on the tax cuts. Thanks for the refresher.

Unfortunately, Biden has been massively outspending trump, with little effect.
But the polls are unreliable (and often provided by R firms), so jury’s still out as to ‘effect’… imho
Exactly, they had Hillary inaugurated and moving into Pennsylvania Ave.
Shocked at how weak Dems have been throughout this whole structure going on 30+ YEARS!? WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN DOING SRSLY

I gave him a couple of hundred today - on top of my monthly donation. I also texted the Biden campaign to say me & my circle stand behind him.
agree 100%
A definite white trash fest. I’ll forever have that image of Donnyboy kissing the
dead fireman’s helmet, planted in my brain. a million ouches.
This putz should not be leader of this country…
With his name spelled incorrectly on the MAGA version of a firefighter's jacket. Yet his family remains in the throes of MAGA. It's beyond belief.
To be fair, that's something the fire department did. But, hey, whatever makes Donny look more like a lunatic pantsload.
It's a cult. Read about cults. Kind of like talking about an addict. Behavior that you can't understand because of their thought process. Don't try and understand it. You refuse a call of sympathy from the president because your dead husband wouldn't like it? These are not rational people and quit treating them like they are.
sad
Beyond belief and completely expected of a blind cult.
What was concerning and sad is that the wife seems to have been so subservient to her husband that even though he's dead, she doesn't want to make him mad.
They are ‘devout Repubs’ - she said.
But he couldn’t be bothered to call the firefighter’s family.
According to the widow he did call.
Eventually
Or attend the church service. Or call or visit those injured.
The firefighter that MTG’s angel didn’t give a shit about.
Angels have limited remit. You didn’t know that? Who’s an angel going to save? A little person or God’s chosen one?
Yeah fuck that guy. He should have prayed harder. /s
The cheapest of political stunts. Sickening. But we know he has no qualms about anything useful to him
That was both disgusting and despicable. It 's pure Trump though. He is not capable of any human emotion except anger. He has no idea what the dead firefighter's family is going through, because he only thing he sees in other people is whether they are adequate mirrors of his grandiosity. Dead people and grieving people are useless to him.
Don’t forget greed. Or gluttony. Or lust. The guy is a poster boy for Chaucer’s Seven Deadly Sins
If you'd hump the flag and the pole, you'd hump the helmet. One of my favs that he does is "dance" to the Village People. He is such an imbecile.
You mean the dance where, according to Bill Maher, it looks like he’s jerking off two guys at the same time?
What's scary is that m agas think that project2025 WILL JUST BE AIMED AT DEMS - NOT THEM. It's going to be directed at all of us omg
I’m thinking more ppl hate him than we realize, but not quite sure til Nov?🙏🗳️
He shouldn't run a sunglass hut at a mall.
Well, there was that Amber Rose person, so not all of the trash was white.
Political party convention that looked about 95% whitey… really reaching out to the non- whites in this country! Sad
I don’t understand how all of those Evangelicals who worship drumph & are behind P-25 & want to ban all porn, all the way down to photos of great works of sculpture, can approve of Amber Rose speaking at the convention. Do they not know what an Only Fans performer does??
And when you type ‘Matt Gaetz’ into Google, ‘Matt Gaetz Eyebrow’ is now offered as a search result. 🤣🤣🤣
that's awesome
"What Happened to Matt Gaetz's Face"....from Esquire! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD.
No way!? Thats hilarious! God, I hate that creep. 😂😂😂
Me too. Epitome of slime.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike went from Speaker to the unspoken
Gaetz morphed from creep to creepier
Rudy is literally a fall down drunk
Marge hallucinates; the press does too
Tiff was stiffed
Agent Orange’s speechifying is a cure for insomnia! Quick! Bottle that shit for more grift.
Good summary.
Dean Wormer would have given Mike Johnson double secret probation.
😂😂😳
“ There is a little known codicil in the Faber College Constitution which gives the dean unlimited power to preserve order in time of campus emergency”. Dean Faber
😂😂😂😂
😅😂😅😂😅😊😅
(But was the codicil codified? 🧐)
Love the reference!!
I had to google Dean Wormer. Today I will finally watch Animal House!
I watched it when it first came out. One of the best movies ever. It will forever stay a classic.
You have to! 😝
😂😂
Funny
Hey Jeff, all. Been thoroughly enjoying the writing and comments here for a while - much hilarity about our fucking awful mess!
Just subscribed, and have been sending friends here for catharsis.
Carry on!

Sweet! Honored!
I thought you loved all of us equally, lol.
Some more equally than others! :)
😆
Gotta love the honesty✨
Welcome.😀
Tuesday's performance by Rudy exposed the fact that the "Party of Family Values" biggest party had an open bar. Tiffany thought she could bounce Ivanka off of the throne. Not gonna happen. As for the complete dereliction of duty in the media......Politico has been rolling downhill at a massive speed for awhile.
NOBODY is bouncing Ivanka off her throne. Just ask daddy dearest: “ if she wasn’t my daughter I would date her?!”
We have the teen lap dance for Daddy pictures to prove it.
She didn’t look too happy on the family dias- just sayin
Was her grifter husband Jared with her? I only ask because I was not paying attention.
He’s too busy conflabbing with Netanyahu about those expensive beachfront condos & resorts they’re gonna build in Gaza.
Don’t think so
Thank you for the laugh. With SCOTUS, the press, & the donor class advocating for the overthrow of democracy, laughing feels a bit like rearranging deck chairs as the Titanic sinks. And I still appreciate it.
All a big game
Didn't Donnie want Marla to abort Tiffany??...shit,you know how he holds a grudge....
Yes he did want her to abort Tiffany.. how fucked up is that?!? Knowing Daddy never wanted you.. wanted Mommy to abort you because he’s a selfish self center fucking prick.. the only one who should’ve been aborted was and is DonnyFuckfaceGriftingToadStoolAssMunchEnglishIsHisSecondLanguageReject!! Fuck this Blubbering Orange Bitch 🖕🏽 flush this piece of 💩!!
But we can't! The water. Ten, fifteen times you have to flush! These toilets, no one has ever seen anything like it!
🤣😂🤣 great response Teri.. omg I’m still cracking up!
😂😂😂
😂🤣😆
I believe Bedhead just gave us Donny’s longest last name! Brilliant!
Oh come on! Tell us how you really think 🤣
It’s a shame Eric and Don Jr. weren’t aborted…
I remember a clip I saw where donny and Marla were being interviewed They announced she was pregnant and donny says "yes she is pregnant" then asks Marla "and are we happy about that?" and Marla kinda looks perturbed and replies "yes we are happy about that! He would have totally been on board if Marla had wanted an abortion. Sorry Tiffany! She was so lovely on her wedding day and I hoped she would disown the trumps, at least don. She has her husband that is the son of a billionaire, or so I read. But she didn't. She is pathetically trying to be relevant to her dad. It's really sad. I;m disappointed she wants to be part of his campaign and administration if he wins. Which he won't. Oh well, she had her chance at being the "good one", like a Mary.
I read when Marla (turd was married to Ivana) told turd, he said "what are we going to do about it?"
He’s such a fucking douche!! Real Father of the Year.. of a shit filled toilet.. what a fucking asshole!
FAMILY VALUES, I beg your pardon :/ 😐
Forgot about that.
I'm wondering where the daylight is between the MSM's adulation for the Demented Convicted Felon and those pushing the effort to kill Biden's nomination. That's a lie - I'm not wondering at all. Those power brokers are one and the same.
I'm still trying to get home - 32 hours and counting - after the Great Crowdstrike Outage. Thank God we have calm Joe at the helm and brilliant Secretary Pete explaining our rights. Can you imagine the MAGA screechfest if Trump had a platform? People would have been punching each other in every airport. Instead, everyone stayed calm and polite. Civility in our shared frustration was the norm. Thanks, Joe.
Have a safe uneventful trip home Linda!
Bailed on the plane, switched to Amtrak and just got to DC's Union Station! Metro train and bus and we'll be home.
Good luck, Linda.
Thanks, Teri. Made it!
Wow! Great stupid wrap up for the week! Idiot Mikey Johnson, idiot Colludy, idiot large marge spork toes, and the two-fer-pervert and unknown child…and not to be forgotten (unfortunately)-the idiotic media. However your wrap up vocabulary was hilarious! Have a great weekend everyone!
You heard the joke, yes? Gaetz: "JD Vance?! I thought it was a JV Dance!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG! HILARIOUS! 😂😂
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
*insert gif of standing ovation* I tip my hat to you, Sir.
I wish we were a serious country again - where ppl apologized to others when warranted - and it meant something..,
