Thank you jeff. I am not going to a protest, but I did take the tedious and loving task of preparing a document for anyone that is.
If you are out there, and protesting, PROTECT YOURSELVES. Take steps, and be methodical and logical, and then YELL AND SCREAM until those idiots hear you.
and I, to El Cerrito! Stout fortress of liberalism! Diminutive but proud city! I must sing! Sing:
"The very best way to visit El Cerrito is to BART into that station with that smell/There's withered old coots, and girls in big boots and commuters coming back from their daily dose of hell/They traipse down the stairs and they squint in the fog/you can hear their car keys ring (jinglejingle) And as they consider the wreckage of their lives you can all hear them sing/O, everything's neat-o in El Cerrito/it wasn't our first choice, but it will do!/It's NIMBY and it's nifty and it's not very thrifty/but with the condos sprouting up, there's loads of room for you/everything's sweet-o in El Cerrito, and all are welcome, man or beast!/Why not exchange your streetcar suburb for the Daly City of the East?"
Well, it's close to Berkeley. We lived on Leviston for a few years until my brother-in-law wanted his house back. The good thing about it is you can send your kids to Kensington School (at least we could.)
Proper and safe opssec, Kay-el. We need you safe and in one piece. And on a day where two Lawmakers in Minnesota got shot (and one of the two is already confirmed dead), we need to be safe.
Yes, and now two people in Minnesota are dead, including one Democratic state senator and her husband, and another Democratic state lawmaker was shot multiple times along with his wife. The coward who shot them was dressed as a police officer.
Ours started early because of the heat. We only had 1,000 to 1,500 people. The big one is tonight when it will be slightly cooler. I'm reading Jeff now as I cool off.
I would give you 10, oh 100, likes if I could. Dressing appropriately is and securing your exits (that means don't run down a dead end alley) are the most important things. I used to wear heavy duty cowboy boots, long pants, long sleeves, heavy jacket, and like you do, scarf over my hair. You don't want anyone grabbing you by the hair. But I've been gassed, beaten, shot at, and I was under 20. Now I'm 75 and I cringe thinking of people in high heels and tank tops. As we might have said, right on!
Jeff, I am sitting in the hospital with a busted ankle and no chance of going anywhere anytime soon but sitting here reading your posts makes me laugh and that’s good for the body and soul. 😃 my SIL has sent me photos from the one she is attending and i’m there in spirit. keep it coming!
Ours here is at 2:30, so In have time to mention that Padilla was never arrested, so no much shot. However, the ass end of any baboon takes a nicer photo than that of the orange loser!
We saw the assault, take down and handcuffs in the video. It was a PERFORMANCE as most of tRump's blustering is. It was meant to intimidate and scare. Thank you to Gov. Newsom for standing up for Californians, and therefore all Americans.
Just returned from a No Kings rally in Hillsborough, NC. The whole town is just barely 10,000 souls, but my son-in-law estimated the crowd size as around 2,000 people, not counting all the folks who honked and raised their fists as they drove by. It was great to be in community
Why, in fact, I'm multitasking. I've got my sign ready: "REBELS ARE WE! BORN TO BE FREE! FREE AS THE FISH IN THE SEA!" I'm going to be explaining it all day long to people who didn't see Bananas.
Just at the one in Oro Valley, AZ. Good energy and mostly support from the passing cars. A few Trump Flag Douchenozzles drove by giving the finger. One clown kept walking from corner to corner waving a huge black flag featuring a red,white, and blue death head sporting drumpf's hair. If he hadn't had a MAGA hat I would have thought it an anti-drumpf flag. It encapsulated the ugliness and fascism perfectly.
Um, I saw a really funny one carried by a gay guy. It was a side view of trump's distinctive profile. It said "I know a dick when I see one." Levity is always appreciated.
I saw a sign at today's march that had a picture of rump and the words "Does this ass make my country look small?" Also, "Cleanup on aisle 47" was popular.
Just got home from our first; heading to the second in a couple hours. The crowd was great! The public support even better. Some troll started hollering trump stuff at us from his (of course) black pickup & was soon totally drowned out by shouts & noisemakers. Classic!! 🇺🇸👏🏻💪🏻
No jacked-up Trump trucks came by this morning. That surprised me. I guess it was too early for them, you know, cause of the hangovers and all. We only got two middle fingers driving by. Everyone else was honking, waving and making the victory sign.
Went to my first protest today. A small but mighty No Tyrants event in front of the BC legislature in Victoria, BC. A tiny show of support and solidarity for our besieged neighbors. (I spelled neighbours without a "u" just for y'all.)
Just got back from an exhilarating time in Fort Collins CO. The crowd was huge, pumped up, peaceful, and welcoming. Gathered up some very necessary hope energy! And then, read about Minnesota...We've GOT to keep this going somehow in whatever way we can.
With a jumbo side order of lightning. Feel sorry for that Secret Service Agent who has the assignment of holding the umbrella for protecting the dead ferret.
Was working on my protest sign right up until I had to leave - some things never change … however, that said, ppl liked it (priceless)‼️Feedback helped morale, ngl
I had hoped that the oath to protect our constitution from enemies foreign and domestic might have resonated with some of the members of our military…there was opportunity to do so today!!
Oh, hell yes on the canned ham hail. I also would very much enjoy the collapse of the roadway under the weight of all those tanks. And if that took down the viewing stand as well, it would be a very beautiful day.
One lawmaker and her husband were killed. The other lawmaker and his wife are expected to survive (following extensive surgery). Shooter posed as a cop.
Terrible! Democratic lawmakers murdered in their own homes by a shooter dressed as policeman or National guardsman? Not sure yet,
he is not captured yet. Out of abundance the No Kings protest in Minn were cancelled as the shooter had handbills from their protest in his car, causing concern protesters would be his
I read that they found a list of lawmakers (alleged targets) in the car, too. Bet he'd have been caught a lot faster and met justice by civilians if the demonstrations hadn't been cancelled.
I did go to a No Kings demo in Southern Rhode Island and it was joyful. So many clever home made heart felt signs. So good to see so many supportive neighbors. I teared up the moment I arrived.
My spouse has a sign -My Dad landed on Utah Beach in 1944 to prevent what is happening in America now. Unbelievable this is happening..and the Minnesota shooting makes me sick…well…along with everything else this administration is doing -or not doing. Stay safe everyone!
Met Melissa years ago, no finer representative Tess, the assassin was a right wing religious wastrel, who owned a global security company… no words can express my sorrow and anger!!
As a former police officer, I fear for the safety of the police, especially after this. Most officers are not racist, awful people. They will be a target now because of this fake officer and frightened citizens won't know who to trust. This mask wearing of ICE needs to stop. Not only do they look like Proud Boys (probably many of them are), you need to show your face when you are detaining people and taking them into custody. Real police don't wear masks and these brown shirts of Noem's need to get rid of them. Just makes me sick to see what's happened to this country.
That's a given. I was just trying out for small victories, like the masks. All of his appointments need to go. Horrid, just horrid bunch of people. And we thought Trump I was bad. It looks like a day at the beach compared to Trump II.
There are white supremacists in law enforcement. Lots of them. I'm from Louisiana, so it's quite a common occurrence. They're everywhere, just like the Confederate sympathizers that allowed the insurrection to take place at the Nation's Capitol.
Unfortunately, you're right. The military and law enforcement historically has been right wing. I was a cop in Indianapolis, but that was 20 years ago. Things seemed different then. I don't remember being on a run in the sheriff's department and seeing prisoners being mistreated. But I was a reserve and if there were dirty things going on, it would probably have not been done in front of the reserves. I still have friends back there, but we don't discuss politics. I'm assuming they're Republican voters. I also have only lived in the North my entire life. Not saying that there are no racists in the North, because there are, but I think that maybe some of it is more behind the scenes than in the South.
I've been following the assassination and attempted assassination of our Democratic leaders and I just cried. I feel sick. 😪 Are Republicans cheering? None of us are safe.
I'm old enough to vividly remember the 60's. Even the despicable George Wallace (attempt), the ones assassinated were Democrats. Both Kennedys, MLK, Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. I may have left others out, these are the ones that I remember the most. The MAGAs will twist themselves into pretzels to not take responsibility for this. My money is on a white, male, MAGA type. They'll say that Soros hired him.
History does repeat itself when humans don't learn the first time. The MAGA RATS are already claiming democrats shot their own colleagues because they voted against a bill. Now our “No King” protests are being canceled. One of my kids is in New York this weekend. She just texted me pictures of the protest in NYC and said people are electric. They're pissed. Some are starting shit. Proud Boy Cowards stated they want, “to shot them some protesters.”
Thank you for that. These rat fuck bastards who voted for Shitpants and the Republican Pro-Apartheid Neoliberal Fascist Oligarch Party can rot in hell.
My heart is heavy. As I'm sure yours is also. I hope, we as human race begin to feel our responsibility to one another. The smartest person in the room is always the most compassionate one. Take care of yourself, Patrick.
My heart is heavy. As I'm sure yours is also. I hope, we as human race begin to feel our responsibility to one another. The smartest person in the room is always the most compassionate one. Take care of yourself, Patrick.
The killer had a list of other Democratic targets, including Senator Tina Smith, and intended to attack No Kings protests. Conveniently the protests in Minnesota have been cancelled, as the killer intended.
Sadly correct Linda, she was Al Frankens replacement, I loved Al from his America radio days, he should have never resigned, considering how politics is a bastion of sexual deviants. However Tina has been exceptional!!
Jeff, this week’s Dumbageddon read like Revelations written by Hunter S. Thompson on a mescaline bender in Mar-a-Lago.
David Reece wants to enforce the Ten Commandments with the U.S. Marshals? Brother, I already failed at “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s serotonin levels.” Please don’t bring a theocracy to a late-stage capitalism knife fight.
ICE detaining a U.S. Marshal because he “fit the description” is peak America. Brown skin? Guilty until confirmed by badge scanner.
And Vice President Couchfuck? Defending Confederates is the theological equivalent of washing Judas' feet and giving him a Yelp review.
Kayleigh’s “handsome mugshot” theology should be declared a heresy punishable by mandatory mirror fasting. That photo didn’t say “president.” It said “mall cop who just got caught shoplifting Axe body spray.”
And for the record, if we did have soldiers on the Moon, I promise you they'd still be unpaid, uninsured, and eating freeze-dried shame while Elon livestreams it for tips.
I’m lighting a votive candle made of expired Cheeto dust and holy rage for the woman who screamed “felon” and for the meteor that still hasn’t come.
This week in stupid? More like this century in satirical prophecy.
Of all the lies and absurdities people spew in defense of Trump, the "he's so hAnDsOmE" one has to be the most baffling, bewildering, mindnumbing, atrociously laughable one. Because WHAT? WHAAAAAAAAT???? Like...just...I mean......
Quick, someone ask Kayleigh on live TV if she would fuck him. I'd love to see her response.
They can't be happy to praise his "good" qualities (I know--but stick with me here. Let's pretend he has good qualities in their eyes) everything has to be praised as the best. He's not smart, he's the smartest. He's the healthiest. He's got the most animal magnetism. Experts defer to him.
And I get that people find different things attractive, but this is ridiculous. You could say, "well, Joe Biden's good looking for his age" or something. But nobody, not even trump's current wife, thinks he's handsome. Just nobody.
I wish I could, I am 73, with deteriorating disc disease, I have osteoporosis , bad feet & I'm 5 '3" 105 lbs. I did my activism when I was young & strong enough to take being manhandled & arrested. Now,
Kristy I could just paste your post here, I’m 75 and the next trip I make in two weeks will be to a hospital for a neurological surgeon. But I can still be mouthy and I am seeing wonderful exhilarating news clips and I remember very well on my 19th birthday marching the streets of DC running around the tear gas, pepper spray and so on and on until Nixon was gone!
Me too, the January 1969 Counter-Inaugural, two weeks shy of my 19th birthday. Started demonstrating in 1966. Not healthy enough to march today - wish I could.
No I was at the demonstration in San Francisco. It was the first time the middle-aged showed up, so our group, chanting, "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, NLF is going to win!" was frowned on. I figured that if regular Americans were protesting, I didn't have to show up any more. I'd been demonstrating for over 4 years, and I didn't think I had to any more. I did go to an anti Cambodia demonstration in April 1970, I think, and that was my last one.
You, me, and my husband, Kristy. You have to understand your limitations. I saw some people this morning whom I wouldn't let go to the grocery alone. (My husband won't let me go either.)
I am babysitting for my 9-month-old granddaughter so I can't go but I did chip-in for some Don's Johns in DC.
Remember Trumps first inauguration when he made the porta potty company cover up the name of the DON'S JOHNS? What a complete narcissist. I have a picture from the women's march in DC in front of one of them, and it was inside Union Station so it wasn't covered up.
I printed the shot of the post that says “No Crown For a Clown” and I will tape it to my car to drive in my small tow in Costa Rica. Significant grinds here and I will get lots of honking. The locals will know exactly what it is too.
Today was very interesting watching the drivers go by. We’d have 15 to 20 cars in a row go by, waving and blowing their horns. Then we’d see 5 or 6 cars where the driver and passengers were all stone faced, staring straight ahead. Total MAGATS. I only got flipped off 3 times.
The over the top stupidity, delusional whackadoodles, the conspiracy bullshit, the dangerous incompetence have caused deaths of innocents. Now open political violence has occurred. The assassin in Minneapolis is certainly a right wing fringe nut. MAGA is no joke. It must be extinguished, but that is a tall order because of right wing media and their status as Russian assets.
This is a tipping point and I'm concerned that the violence, beginning with Noem's thugs assaulting Sen. Padilla and the shooting of Minnesota legislators and their spouses, will further intimidate the Democrats. Not one breath of conciliation, apology, or reason from Republicans. They're gloating over their victory at the annual Congressional baseball game, which all Democrats should have boycotted.
I'm hoping (I don't believe in prayer) for lightning that forces the stands to be emptied for public safety. I am also hoping for a sudden downpour while the Tangerine Tyrant is in his viewing stand. Can't wait for the picture of drenched deranged with makeup running down his face and hair spray washing out to display his bald cranium!
I'm sure he's super pissed about the shooting in MN. It's the headline news. Wipes his dumb parade and his even dumber birthday off the news. I'm sure though that Fox isn't even mentioning the shooting. I can't stand to watch Fox to even know if I'm right.
I like the term 'icestapo' better than gestapo or, to quote Sporkfoot, gezpacho...but that's just me. And fuck him and his fucking parade!!! He should get Gary Gilmore-d.
Jeff, keep writing. Your words take off some of the stress and tension. A little weed helps too.
She is breathtakingly stupid. Besides the gazpacho crack, remember when she phonetically referred to "peach tree" dishes instead of Petri dishes? Oh, soooory, she's from Jaw-jah, so of course peach trees are on her mind. And her voters keep sending her to congress. Holy shit.
Yes. Personally, I'd like to know where Americans truly stand on elected "leaders" like trump. We won't ever know, if they don't bother to vote. So tired of hearing, "This is not who we are!", when it's pretty clear that complacent and/or apathetic (via silence) is, in fact, the who we are.
Couchfuck Human Pile of Butthair Vice Sociopath defends fighting for the Confederacy, which was of course over owning other human beings as property. His own dark skinned wife would have been treated that way if she was in the south at that time. What a fucking piece of shit he is. And her too for being married to him.
She's no better than Melania for staying with him. Except she's smarter and can speak decent English. I worked with a nurse from Croatia that came to the US about the time of Melania. Her English was very good. No excuse for Melania after being here to be such a poor speaker of English. She's been here almost 30 years. She has no love of America. You can tell. She came here for 1 reason. Money.
Actually, we have troops on the planet Remulac. Me thinks an adjustment to those tinfoil antennae that you made is in order. This is a HUGE day, people. Be loud, have fun, and most importantly, be safe. 💪❤️😀🇺🇸
I'm sorry for this comment, but, I just read that four people (two Democrat politicians and their spouses) were shot, two of them died. They're from Minnesota. This is shocking. I'm just waking up to this. Unfortunately, I'm not surprised.
if you're not reading this because you're on your way to a No Kings protest, that's an acceptable excuse
Just returned. Berlin Brandenburg Gate. Right across from the American Embassy. We were loud!!
Good for you! I bet the Germans were beeping the little horns on their Trabants!
Only in Dresden.
Thank you jeff. I am not going to a protest, but I did take the tedious and loving task of preparing a document for anyone that is.
If you are out there, and protesting, PROTECT YOURSELVES. Take steps, and be methodical and logical, and then YELL AND SCREAM until those idiots hear you.
I love you all, Thank you.

I’m going to one but no way would I not read your column first.
I had to find one that started in the afternoon because I had to write the damned thing first
Well Jeff, read the guide, and consider steps to protect yourself.
But then Tell all of the Trump people to fuck RIGHT OFF.
You do it better than I do.
Your substack piece, ‘The Death Spiral of DHS’, was brilliant.
Thank you. They make it easy
We are heading out soon for a No Kings rally in Berkeley.
and I, to El Cerrito! Stout fortress of liberalism! Diminutive but proud city! I must sing! Sing:
"The very best way to visit El Cerrito is to BART into that station with that smell/There's withered old coots, and girls in big boots and commuters coming back from their daily dose of hell/They traipse down the stairs and they squint in the fog/you can hear their car keys ring (jinglejingle) And as they consider the wreckage of their lives you can all hear them sing/O, everything's neat-o in El Cerrito/it wasn't our first choice, but it will do!/It's NIMBY and it's nifty and it's not very thrifty/but with the condos sprouting up, there's loads of room for you/everything's sweet-o in El Cerrito, and all are welcome, man or beast!/Why not exchange your streetcar suburb for the Daly City of the East?"
Well, it's close to Berkeley. We lived on Leviston for a few years until my brother-in-law wanted his house back. The good thing about it is you can send your kids to Kensington School (at least we could.)
Hahaaaaaaa! That's great....Should it be sung to a particular tune?
I thought that was on the freeway overpass?
😂
I so appreciate you took the time!!
Proper and safe opssec, Kay-el. We need you safe and in one piece. And on a day where two Lawmakers in Minnesota got shot (and one of the two is already confirmed dead), we need to be safe.
Here are some tips from my Indivisible training for being safe and knowing your rights. https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/indivisible-training-recommendations?r=f0qfn
Lawmakers were killed in Minnesota last night.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/14/democratic-lawmakers-minnesota-shot
Let us keep them in our thoughts today and be safe.
Yes, and now two people in Minnesota are dead, including one Democratic state senator and her husband, and another Democratic state lawmaker was shot multiple times along with his wife. The coward who shot them was dressed as a police officer.
Thanks Wendy! ♥️
Thank the gods that I’m on the west coast and read this before heading out! More fuel for my fire today! Be safe everyone.
Ditto!
It wouldn't be Saturday AM without this cavalcade of finch-brained raw 1000% American poppycock.
?????
I mean this fucktangle of shitweasels.
Well said.
Fuel for the soul💙
Truly!!
Ours started early because of the heat. We only had 1,000 to 1,500 people. The big one is tonight when it will be slightly cooler. I'm reading Jeff now as I cool off.
A thousand people is a lot if you’re in a small community. Blew me away when I read there were over 7000 in Walnut Creek, CA where I went!
I would give you 10, oh 100, likes if I could. Dressing appropriately is and securing your exits (that means don't run down a dead end alley) are the most important things. I used to wear heavy duty cowboy boots, long pants, long sleeves, heavy jacket, and like you do, scarf over my hair. You don't want anyone grabbing you by the hair. But I've been gassed, beaten, shot at, and I was under 20. Now I'm 75 and I cringe thinking of people in high heels and tank tops. As we might have said, right on!
Dang, birdwatching is more dangerous than I thought! 😆
A gentle reminder that cell phone towers can pinpoint your location everyone, be safe and loud!!
I don't have a cell phone.
You’re one of the smart ones.
No, just a little too close to J Edgar Hoover and his minions.
Our local event is being very civilized and starting after lunch.
I’m in CA - it’s early. Time to read before heading for protest!😉
We'll be joining a crowd at noon until 2 at the old Courthouse in Lakeport, California. Come and join us.
Jeff, I am sitting in the hospital with a busted ankle and no chance of going anywhere anytime soon but sitting here reading your posts makes me laugh and that’s good for the body and soul. 😃 my SIL has sent me photos from the one she is attending and i’m there in spirit. keep it coming!
Get well soon. We need you out here.
aww, thank you! unfortunately we’re probably going to be doing a lot more protests in the next few months or years. 🤬
Ours here is at 2:30, so In have time to mention that Padilla was never arrested, so no much shot. However, the ass end of any baboon takes a nicer photo than that of the orange loser!
Yes, sorry, we heard (wrong) early reports that he had been arrested along with being assaulted and handcuffed. Thanks for the update.
We saw the assault, take down and handcuffs in the video. It was a PERFORMANCE as most of tRump's blustering is. It was meant to intimidate and scare. Thank you to Gov. Newsom for standing up for Californians, and therefore all Americans.
That's no performance. If it's ever happened to you, you sure wouldn't think so.
They knew who he was. They did it to flex. I hope every one of them is sued to the max.
I read that Cory Lewandouski (spelling?) told them to release him.
Interesting? So he recognized the senior senator from California?
So did Eva Braun. She knew who he was.
Just returned from a No Kings rally in Hillsborough, NC. The whole town is just barely 10,000 souls, but my son-in-law estimated the crowd size as around 2,000 people, not counting all the folks who honked and raised their fists as they drove by. It was great to be in community
Yes, it's always great to be honked at and raising fists at each other.
Why, in fact, I'm multitasking. I've got my sign ready: "REBELS ARE WE! BORN TO BE FREE! FREE AS THE FISH IN THE SEA!" I'm going to be explaining it all day long to people who didn't see Bananas.
I think it was also used in Sleeper.
Lake County, Illinois - thousands showed up near Gurnee Mills! awesome signs!
My No Kings isn't until 4.
Mine at 3 pm
Just at the one in Oro Valley, AZ. Good energy and mostly support from the passing cars. A few Trump Flag Douchenozzles drove by giving the finger. One clown kept walking from corner to corner waving a huge black flag featuring a red,white, and blue death head sporting drumpf's hair.

I saw a sign at today's march that had a picture of rump and the words "Does this ass make my country look small?" Also, "Cleanup on aisle 47" was popular.
How did you know he was gay?
Omg I need that flag as a sticker! 🤣
Just got home from our first; heading to the second in a couple hours. The crowd was great! The public support even better. Some troll started hollering trump stuff at us from his (of course) black pickup & was soon totally drowned out by shouts & noisemakers. Classic!! 🇺🇸👏🏻💪🏻
No jacked-up Trump trucks came by this morning. That surprised me. I guess it was too early for them, you know, cause of the hangovers and all. We only got two middle fingers driving by. Everyone else was honking, waving and making the victory sign.
I can't go to a protest because I am on call for my ambulance department. I wish I could go though!!
Let's hope you don't get there on the job.
Went to my first protest today. A small but mighty No Tyrants event in front of the BC legislature in Victoria, BC. A tiny show of support and solidarity for our besieged neighbors. (I spelled neighbours without a "u" just for y'all.)
Just got back from an exhilarating time in Fort Collins CO. The crowd was huge, pumped up, peaceful, and welcoming. Gathered up some very necessary hope energy! And then, read about Minnesota...We've GOT to keep this going somehow in whatever way we can.
We might be 3 hours later on the left coast, but we not only will be there we encourage people to beat us there! Keep hydrated my friends.
“pray for hailstones the size of canned hams” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
With a jumbo side order of lightning. Feel sorry for that Secret Service Agent who has the assignment of holding the umbrella for protecting the dead ferret.
The hailstones comment needs to go in the Jeff Hall of Fame!! Right up there with Sewer Clowns in terms of visual impact!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
“Hailstones the size of canned hams” is David Leterman from his Indiana weather man days
This one had so MANY elegant turn-of-a-phrase moments… 🇺🇸‼️📝
Was working on my protest sign right up until I had to leave - some things never change … however, that said, ppl liked it (priceless)‼️Feedback helped morale, ngl
That golden idol research…TY! That I completely forgot about it 🙄 speaks volumes abt the sh*tshow-tsunami we are living through :/
That’s the one that stuck with me this week 🤣🤣🤣
The image in my mind of a sudden localized hailstorm landing on a viewing platform was a👨🍳💋
I think he is behind sheets of bullet proof glass.
but it’s not canned ham proof!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
With no lid - perfect for hail the size of canned hams! Turn him into Spam and feed him to the MAGAs.
Ha ha. Right.
Wouldn't stop a tank round
True.
I had hoped that the oath to protect our constitution from enemies foreign and domestic might have resonated with some of the members of our military…there was opportunity to do so today!!
No shit? He's that worried?
But of course 🤡
I just want the hail to be as big as… bone spurs😳😳
All it takes to keep trump’s hair at home is a light mist.
That's right. He doesn't like rain. Remember the cemetery in Normandy?
Oh, hell yes on the canned ham hail. I also would very much enjoy the collapse of the roadway under the weight of all those tanks. And if that took down the viewing stand as well, it would be a very beautiful day.
Just think ‘Karl Roves head’ that’s some real hail!
I'd be content with another DC earthquake.
Well, as long as no monuments were damaged....
Last time, it damaged the Washington Monument
The very reason for my comment. At the very least, we need to preserve monuments to leaders who did right by this country. But that was long ago...
Only on the reviewing stand.
1. Detaining a US Marshal, handcuffing a US Senator. The racism has been notched way up past 10.
2. If there really was a god, every one of those smirking religious asshats would be sizzling from a lightning bolt.
3. If you go to a No Kings event today, stay safe, stay sane but most of all enjoy yourself.
I plan to, thanks. Where I'm going is so cozily left wing and elderly that if anyone hears about a "black box" they'll think it means a CPAP.
Now 2 Democratic lawmakers, along with a spouse, in Minnesota were murdered in their homes last night in a reportedly politically motivated shooting.
That's terrible. Also two others in another home were shot, but survived.
One lawmaker and her husband were killed. The other lawmaker and his wife are expected to survive (following extensive surgery). Shooter posed as a cop.
Terrible! Democratic lawmakers murdered in their own homes by a shooter dressed as policeman or National guardsman? Not sure yet,
he is not captured yet. Out of abundance the No Kings protest in Minn were cancelled as the shooter had handbills from their protest in his car, causing concern protesters would be his
next victims.
I read that they found a list of lawmakers (alleged targets) in the car, too. Bet he'd have been caught a lot faster and met justice by civilians if the demonstrations hadn't been cancelled.
Neil, a song please.
Or was a cop...
I did go to a No Kings demo in Southern Rhode Island and it was joyful. So many clever home made heart felt signs. So good to see so many supportive neighbors. I teared up the moment I arrived.
Did two, both exceptional Kay!!
Not to mention ageism. The senator has grayish hair.
My spouse has a sign -My Dad landed on Utah Beach in 1944 to prevent what is happening in America now. Unbelievable this is happening..and the Minnesota shooting makes me sick…well…along with everything else this administration is doing -or not doing. Stay safe everyone!
Met Melissa years ago, no finer representative Tess, the assassin was a right wing religious wastrel, who owned a global security company… no words can express my sorrow and anger!!
😭❤️❤️
"pray for hailstones the size of canned hams." YES PLEASE!
VP CF is beyond stupid.
I really wanna know more about SUPER SOLDIER TALK! 😂😂😂 We have military on Mars? "Fascinating stuff" LOL
ICYMI: Last night, two Minnesota lawmakers were shot in their homes. Some asshole impersonating a police officer? Scary shit.
As a former police officer, I fear for the safety of the police, especially after this. Most officers are not racist, awful people. They will be a target now because of this fake officer and frightened citizens won't know who to trust. This mask wearing of ICE needs to stop. Not only do they look like Proud Boys (probably many of them are), you need to show your face when you are detaining people and taking them into custody. Real police don't wear masks and these brown shirts of Noem's need to get rid of them. Just makes me sick to see what's happened to this country.
Need to get rid of Noem and her thugs, not just the masks!
That's a given. I was just trying out for small victories, like the masks. All of his appointments need to go. Horrid, just horrid bunch of people. And we thought Trump I was bad. It looks like a day at the beach compared to Trump II.
My sentiment Dave, abolish HHS and ICE!!
But who will protect the Homeland?????
Remember when DHS was formed? I thought that would be the end of us. Then. Turns out I was 20+ years too early.
Your vision may have come early, but like Citizens United, it spelled the beginning of the end Hannah!!
There are white supremacists in law enforcement. Lots of them. I'm from Louisiana, so it's quite a common occurrence. They're everywhere, just like the Confederate sympathizers that allowed the insurrection to take place at the Nation's Capitol.
Unfortunately, you're right. The military and law enforcement historically has been right wing. I was a cop in Indianapolis, but that was 20 years ago. Things seemed different then. I don't remember being on a run in the sheriff's department and seeing prisoners being mistreated. But I was a reserve and if there were dirty things going on, it would probably have not been done in front of the reserves. I still have friends back there, but we don't discuss politics. I'm assuming they're Republican voters. I also have only lived in the North my entire life. Not saying that there are no racists in the North, because there are, but I think that maybe some of it is more behind the scenes than in the South.
Sad truths Tess!!
I've been following the assassination and attempted assassination of our Democratic leaders and I just cried. I feel sick. 😪 Are Republicans cheering? None of us are safe.
I'm old enough to vividly remember the 60's. Even the despicable George Wallace (attempt), the ones assassinated were Democrats. Both Kennedys, MLK, Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. I may have left others out, these are the ones that I remember the most. The MAGAs will twist themselves into pretzels to not take responsibility for this. My money is on a white, male, MAGA type. They'll say that Soros hired him.
Cops are hunting for a suspect, 57-year -old Vance Boetler. White and male. What a surprise.
History does repeat itself when humans don't learn the first time. The MAGA RATS are already claiming democrats shot their own colleagues because they voted against a bill. Now our “No King” protests are being canceled. One of my kids is in New York this weekend. She just texted me pictures of the protest in NYC and said people are electric. They're pissed. Some are starting shit. Proud Boy Cowards stated they want, “to shot them some protesters.”
I was wondering what excuse the MAGAs would use to blame this on the Dems.
Thought of you immediately, Lisa. Was going to shoot you an email. Hang in there. This country is OFF THE FUCKING RAILS. 😭
Thank you for that. These rat fuck bastards who voted for Shitpants and the Republican Pro-Apartheid Neoliberal Fascist Oligarch Party can rot in hell.
And they all will. GuarnFUCKINGteed.
Melissa was a brilliant, honest, kind and caring person. The assassin owned a global security company with his wife… I have no words Lisa!!
My heart is heavy. As I'm sure yours is also. I hope, we as human race begin to feel our responsibility to one another. The smartest person in the room is always the most compassionate one. Take care of yourself, Patrick.

One of them and her husband died
OMG. This is horrible....damn it!!!
No no no🤦♀️😢😢😢I haven’t seen that update
They were both Democrats too.
The killer had a list of other Democratic targets, including Senator Tina Smith, and intended to attack No Kings protests. Conveniently the protests in Minnesota have been cancelled, as the killer intended.
Large crowds gathered , regardless of the warnings.
Honoring her many accomplishments Linda!!
Senator Smith? and it's not like she's left wing.
She announced in February that she will not run again.
Sadly correct Linda, she was Al Frankens replacement, I loved Al from his America radio days, he should have never resigned, considering how politics is a bastion of sexual deviants. However Tina has been exceptional!!
😭😭😭
Jeff, this week’s Dumbageddon read like Revelations written by Hunter S. Thompson on a mescaline bender in Mar-a-Lago.
David Reece wants to enforce the Ten Commandments with the U.S. Marshals? Brother, I already failed at “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s serotonin levels.” Please don’t bring a theocracy to a late-stage capitalism knife fight.
ICE detaining a U.S. Marshal because he “fit the description” is peak America. Brown skin? Guilty until confirmed by badge scanner.
And Vice President Couchfuck? Defending Confederates is the theological equivalent of washing Judas' feet and giving him a Yelp review.
Kayleigh’s “handsome mugshot” theology should be declared a heresy punishable by mandatory mirror fasting. That photo didn’t say “president.” It said “mall cop who just got caught shoplifting Axe body spray.”
And for the record, if we did have soldiers on the Moon, I promise you they'd still be unpaid, uninsured, and eating freeze-dried shame while Elon livestreams it for tips.
I’m lighting a votive candle made of expired Cheeto dust and holy rage for the woman who screamed “felon” and for the meteor that still hasn’t come.
This week in stupid? More like this century in satirical prophecy.
The woman screaming FELON was the highlight of highlights yesterday. Bravo!
Fuck, I thought Kay-Lie would go away
Freeze-dried shame
Excellent!
Excellent comment!
Of all the lies and absurdities people spew in defense of Trump, the "he's so hAnDsOmE" one has to be the most baffling, bewildering, mindnumbing, atrociously laughable one. Because WHAT? WHAAAAAAAAT???? Like...just...I mean......
Quick, someone ask Kayleigh on live TV if she would fuck him. I'd love to see her response.
He was always ugly and STUPID.
They can't be happy to praise his "good" qualities (I know--but stick with me here. Let's pretend he has good qualities in their eyes) everything has to be praised as the best. He's not smart, he's the smartest. He's the healthiest. He's got the most animal magnetism. Experts defer to him.
And I get that people find different things attractive, but this is ridiculous. You could say, "well, Joe Biden's good looking for his age" or something. But nobody, not even trump's current wife, thinks he's handsome. Just nobody.
He looks like an iguana wearing orange greasepaint.
This is a huge day for America. Ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you, get your asses off of the couch and hit the streets. Democracy is calling!
I wish I could, I am 73, with deteriorating disc disease, I have osteoporosis , bad feet & I'm 5 '3" 105 lbs. I did my activism when I was young & strong enough to take being manhandled & arrested. Now,
I'm afraid.
I’ll represent for you, Kristy.
💙💋
Go for me too Walt!
It was my pleasure, ladies. Today’s crowd was at least 50% larger than last month’s.
My 2 favorite signs from today:
FUCK YOU
YOU FUCKING FUCK!
and
TINY HANDS
BIG MESS
Kristy I could just paste your post here, I’m 75 and the next trip I make in two weeks will be to a hospital for a neurological surgeon. But I can still be mouthy and I am seeing wonderful exhilarating news clips and I remember very well on my 19th birthday marching the streets of DC running around the tear gas, pepper spray and so on and on until Nixon was gone!
Me too, the January 1969 Counter-Inaugural, two weeks shy of my 19th birthday. Started demonstrating in 1966. Not healthy enough to march today - wish I could.
Mine was Nov, 14 1969.
Damn, I'm feeling old. Just turned 75 this year and I feel like I've been alive for a millennium. Been an activist for almost 50 years.
Was that 1969?
Yes it was were you there?
No I was at the demonstration in San Francisco. It was the first time the middle-aged showed up, so our group, chanting, "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, NLF is going to win!" was frowned on. I figured that if regular Americans were protesting, I didn't have to show up any more. I'd been demonstrating for over 4 years, and I didn't think I had to any more. I did go to an anti Cambodia demonstration in April 1970, I think, and that was my last one.
Yep, the Counter-Inaugural.
Me too.
Thank you for your service. There were some young people and families at my rally this morning. That gave me hope.
You, me, and my husband, Kristy. You have to understand your limitations. I saw some people this morning whom I wouldn't let go to the grocery alone. (My husband won't let me go either.)
I am babysitting for my 9-month-old granddaughter so I can't go but I did chip-in for some Don's Johns in DC.
Remember Trumps first inauguration when he made the porta potty company cover up the name of the DON'S JOHNS? What a complete narcissist. I have a picture from the women's march in DC in front of one of them, and it was inside Union Station so it wasn't covered up.
That was an amazing day!
There's a protest close to me in Woodland Hills, maybe I'll drive over there later ( in my car with the KAMALA stickers on it )
I printed the shot of the post that says “No Crown For a Clown” and I will tape it to my car to drive in my small tow in Costa Rica. Significant grinds here and I will get lots of honking. The locals will know exactly what it is too.
We appreciated the people who drove by and honked and gave us the victory sign.
Today was very interesting watching the drivers go by. We’d have 15 to 20 cars in a row go by, waving and blowing their horns. Then we’d see 5 or 6 cars where the driver and passengers were all stone faced, staring straight ahead. Total MAGATS. I only got flipped off 3 times.
The over the top stupidity, delusional whackadoodles, the conspiracy bullshit, the dangerous incompetence have caused deaths of innocents. Now open political violence has occurred. The assassin in Minneapolis is certainly a right wing fringe nut. MAGA is no joke. It must be extinguished, but that is a tall order because of right wing media and their status as Russian assets.
This is a tipping point and I'm concerned that the violence, beginning with Noem's thugs assaulting Sen. Padilla and the shooting of Minnesota legislators and their spouses, will further intimidate the Democrats. Not one breath of conciliation, apology, or reason from Republicans. They're gloating over their victory at the annual Congressional baseball game, which all Democrats should have boycotted.
MAGAts believe that Democrats need to be punished.
They're projecting their own criminality onto Dems.
I'm hoping (I don't believe in prayer) for lightning that forces the stands to be emptied for public safety. I am also hoping for a sudden downpour while the Tangerine Tyrant is in his viewing stand. Can't wait for the picture of drenched deranged with makeup running down his face and hair spray washing out to display his bald cranium!
Yep, that frightwig of his sure isn't waterproof. He'll probably snatch the umbrella from whichever False Melania is standing next to him.
I'm sure he's super pissed about the shooting in MN. It's the headline news. Wipes his dumb parade and his even dumber birthday off the news. I'm sure though that Fox isn't even mentioning the shooting. I can't stand to watch Fox to even know if I'm right.
Did Staggering Rudy Fucking Giuliani finally die?
I like the term 'icestapo' better than gestapo or, to quote Sporkfoot, gezpacho...but that's just me. And fuck him and his fucking parade!!! He should get Gary Gilmore-d.
Jeff, keep writing. Your words take off some of the stress and tension. A little weed helps too.
She is breathtakingly stupid. Besides the gazpacho crack, remember when she phonetically referred to "peach tree" dishes instead of Petri dishes? Oh, soooory, she's from Jaw-jah, so of course peach trees are on her mind. And her voters keep sending her to congress. Holy shit.
Can we say brain dead voters?
Yep, and also hateful and fearful
Yep
Yes. Personally, I'd like to know where Americans truly stand on elected "leaders" like trump. We won't ever know, if they don't bother to vote. So tired of hearing, "This is not who we are!", when it's pretty clear that complacent and/or apathetic (via silence) is, in fact, the who we are.
In his case the haters are growing by the day. People that didn't vote this past election, their choice, are fucking idiots!!!
Let's talk about NON-voters, and the those who weren't excited enough to vote for Harris.
The 90,000,000 that helped get us into this mess?
You asked again?
Couchfuck Human Pile of Butthair Vice Sociopath defends fighting for the Confederacy, which was of course over owning other human beings as property. His own dark skinned wife would have been treated that way if she was in the south at that time. What a fucking piece of shit he is. And her too for being married to him.
She's no better than Melania for staying with him. Except she's smarter and can speak decent English. I worked with a nurse from Croatia that came to the US about the time of Melania. Her English was very good. No excuse for Melania after being here to be such a poor speaker of English. She's been here almost 30 years. She has no love of America. You can tell. She came here for 1 reason. Money.
Yep- Mel is a piece of fecal matter too!
The whole family- ugh- despicable
In her previous line of work, she did not have to speak English very well.
Supposedly she speaks 6 languages. My guess is "you want date?".
All she needed to learn to say was,
'Anal is extra.'
Spying.
Also, fuck the DC Dominican Dildos who turned him into a clueless Roman Catholic. He should stick to dueling banjos.
Actually, we have troops on the planet Remulac. Me thinks an adjustment to those tinfoil antennae that you made is in order. This is a HUGE day, people. Be loud, have fun, and most importantly, be safe. 💪❤️😀🇺🇸
LOL!! Beam me up! 😂😂
Activate...the anti-moron device.... Mr. Spock.😂😂
It’s evidently dangerous to be a Democratic legislator in our country now. Add that to the teachers in states with weak gun laws.
It’s a well known fact that the airways are created by chemtrails!
Seems reasonable.
I'm sorry for this comment, but, I just read that four people (two Democrat politicians and their spouses) were shot, two of them died. They're from Minnesota. This is shocking. I'm just waking up to this. Unfortunately, I'm not surprised.
