programming note: towards the bottom of yesterday's post, I reposted a "Trump vs Musk" meme that was two people having a fistfight. if I'd looked closely enough, I would have seen that the photo was of a man punching out a woman. ugh. just fucking ugh. I'm mortified that this had to be pointed out to me, and I've deleted the photo. sorry, everyone!

Your apology is a thousand times more sincere than Joni ErnstтАЩs. If you were a Republican you wouldтАЩve blamed your eagle-eyed readers of being woke virus infected libtards.
According to my bestie, who has an old high school friend that lives in MAGAland Tenn. they are taking it to ward off cancer, now. She said Oh? That's interesting. (she no longer attempts to try and explain reality to them.)
I actually thought it was 2 women fighting! Though, I guess, violence is never the way to go. But part of me would like, no love, to see trumpy & musky go at it! Think itтАЩd be more slap fight than anything!?
It's nasty but fair, given Donald Trump ONLY considers women worthwhile based on how much he wants to fuck them, so the women who work for him play up to that.
The women in Trump's orbit don't DESERVE anything that resembles the fair return you'd give any other woman, because they've made their bed, and now must sleep in it....
Some years back when Ann Coulter said something so hypocritical and disgusting that I and a friend of my then-wife mocked it, she got angry at both of us for "insulting women!". We both pointed out it's not a woman, it's Ann Coulter, who slaps women every chance she gets, and who deserves to be slapped back when she's caught out in sleazy behavior.
I feel the same way about Karoline Leavitt, Pam Bondi, Marjorie Taylor Green, and every OTHER Leggy Blonde Republican.
OK, but hear me out. We can mock these women, without rape jokes (which are NEVER funny guys), and without commenting on their appearance (something I'm trying to remind myself to do every time) BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT SUCH HEINOUS POLICIES AND POSITIONS OF A WANNA-BE DICTATORSHIP. Mock these people for their speech and actions, because it's like shooting shellfish in a barrel.
Most people don't give a shit about "supporting heinous policies and positions of a wannabe dictator" becauseтАФit doesn't affect them personally. They're White, and they're not out there protestingтАФwhat have they got to worry about? They're Good Germans, every last one of them.
Trump's turning the country into a Fascist dictatorship right in front of usтАФbut what's REALLY important to you is that we not make fun of gender traitors like Karoline Leavitt, Pam Bondi, Marjorie Taylor Green and Ann Coulter?
No wonder Liberalism is a joke in this country.... ЁЯШотАНЁЯТи
Ooo, I hit a nerve. No one here at Wonkette is defending those horrible people. All the females here at Wonkette are asking for is, cut the misogyny shit. DonтАЩt care where that is aimed, itтАЩs misogyny. Go after them for what they do and what they say, what they represent and support, just as we should if they were male. Yes, everyone with working eyes can see what they look like, but it is irrelevant where fighting fascism is concerned. Mock them for their deeds. ItтАЩs easy to attack people for their looks. ItтАЩs cheap, easy entertainment. And no, liberalism is not a joke in this country. If it is to you, why are you here at Wonkette?
Speaking of "hitting a nerve"тАФyou know, the Right uses projection so much it's become pretty easy to spot these days. ЁЯзР
::If it is to you, why are you here at Wonkette?::
I'm not, I'm on Jeff Tiedrich's SubstackтАФwhat are YOU doing here? I mean, yes, I know what you're doing here, but this isn't Wonkette I'm reading it on or responding to.
The point I was trying to make was that you knee-jerk think that I'm being "misogynistic" when I say, "It's okay to use the same weapons we use on men on women, when those women only fight dirty themselves":
Do you object to us mocking Trump's "small hands"тАФwhich is a euphemism for saying Trump's such a Fascist because he has a tiny dick?
Or saying that Stephen Miller Himmler-like behavior is the result of his being cuckolded by Elon MuskтАФbecause Miller's such as shrimpy, unattractive man?
Or laughing at Pete Hegseth's alcoholism, and how it's made him impotent, which is why he's so hung up on being performatively macho?
We say this about men in Trump's orbit ALL the time, and I have yet to hear you, or anybody else, say, "How DARE you suggest Trump has a teeny weenie?!?" I mean, maybe you doтАФbut I'm not reading this on Wonkette.
Because I'm a Leftist, not a Liberal, because Liberals tend to sit on their hands in a REAL crisis like the Democrats in Congress are doing right now, rather than BURYING Donald Trump under a mountain of vindictive "investigations" just like the Republicans did to Hunter Biden.
Only difference is, Trump IS a Felon, those investigations WOULD be genuine, and Trump IS worthy of being investigated, impeached, and removed from office!
I hear you. I donтАЩt know which labels really apply to me but I like progressive positions in politics. I donтАЩt vote red. I donтАЩt support fascists. I donтАЩt like bigotries. If this MAGA unholy alliance with christo fascists is a backlash to the bits of progress weтАЩve made as a country since Lincoln, itтАЩs one helluva backlash. And it must be countered and, if possible, stopped. There are as many ways to do that as there are differently abled people. I want you to know that I hear the intensity and support for truth in your voice, and IтАЩm going to try to aim my ire at those RW nuts who truly deserve it. I want the Dems to take better aim at their real enemies, and stop with the stupid ineffective nonsense. Salute!
Jeff mentions that we're in the stupidest possible timeline. While the GQP has its share of dolts, I'm sure many of them are pretend idiots, or will plead willful ignorance, because to understand what is happening would mean that you like violence towards women, or would blow your alibi on ripping off your constituents in service of giant corporations that are raping the earth.
Is pretending to be stupid any different that actually being stupid? Guess it depends on how much richer a GQP office holder is than when sworn in for the first term. Considering Marge 3 Toes is $220 Million richer, I'm thinking she's got brains enough to cash in bigly. AFAIC, its an act, and she just relies on saying the most idiotic, unedited bullshit, which is classic MAGA politics, behind closed doors its clear she's screaming show me the money.
My late cousin was mentally disabled and his level was similar to the young man you featured recently in one of your posts. It was highly offensive and in terrible taste yet you never apologized for it. I canceled my subscription. You really need to think before you write.
If you were so offended that you cancelled your subscription, why are we being subjected to this very public personal admonishment of Jeff. I would have thought that if you were so upset, you would have closed the book on тАЬeveryone is entitled to my own opinionтАЭ.
I hope you feel better about yourself. How hypocritical, to complain about the small minded Trump yet you're ok with defending a man who thinks mentally disabled people are less than us. It's not holier than thou, but you sure are.
Have you ever made a mistake, Marycat? Many of us have mental illness in our families. Mistakes by us are constantly made. Jeff had the temerity to admit to his. The picture wasnтАЩt meant to trigger a rabid response. The problem I had with it was that it featured two Black people which was a big mistake. I am certain that Jeff is banging his head against the wall for using it. He removed it which is better than the Repubs impeaching TRUMP twice!

But the woke virus must be a hoax, because COVID is.
MAGA is eagerly working as we speak to see if ivermectin will, indeed, cure woke mind virus
At the very least those folks will be de-wormed
According to my bestie, who has an old high school friend that lives in MAGAland Tenn. they are taking it to ward off cancer, now. She said Oh? That's interesting. (she no longer attempts to try and explain reality to them.)
But тАШlibs were ownedтАЩ in the filming of that apologyтАж still priceless apparently ЁЯЩД
This is how an adult handles a mistake, no matter how inadvertent. The sewer clowns would double down on it.
Thank you, Jeff.
I actually thought it was 2 women fighting! Though, I guess, violence is never the way to go. But part of me would like, no love, to see trumpy & musky go at it! Think itтАЩd be more slap fight than anything!?
two women is what I thought, too. still, a dumb choice to use that pic
Well, we all make mistakes. We're not perfect like the Orange POS.
Thank you for your apology.
Maybe a pissing match
See Ann Telnaes cartoon, from two days ago.
I thjought it was two women too!
Jeff, I respect vividly your laurels and your self-awareness.
I covered KKKaroline today, in our morning edition post.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/kkkaroline-leavitt-blowjob-queen
(My self awareness says, I did not perhaps title the post all that well).
Fantastic read!
I knew nothing about KKKaroline except that she oozed hatred and condescension. Her face is so punchable.
It's nasty but fair, given Donald Trump ONLY considers women worthwhile based on how much he wants to fuck them, so the women who work for him play up to that.

Sorry, wrong substack. The message still stands. If you think liberalism is a joke why are you here (at Jeff's substack)?
Yep, not Wonkette.
As for "Why am I here?"
Because I'm a Leftist, not a Liberal, because Liberals tend to sit on their hands in a REAL crisis like the Democrats in Congress are doing right now, rather than BURYING Donald Trump under a mountain of vindictive "investigations" just like the Republicans did to Hunter Biden.

And I will do the same.

Greene has a feral cunning, mixed with a high school mean girl ethos. My mother would have diagnosed her as "a case of arrested development".
I had wondered about that choice.Apology accepted.
Love ya, Jeff.
Well Jeff, now I am just going to have to apply for a gubmint job just so I can write four scorching essays and be unhired by King FuckFace II. ЁЯШЦ
That's what I thought. Thanks for removing it!
Either way one of them is a p*ssy.

How are you able to comment if you cancelled your subscription? Color me skeptical.
thereтАЩs no refunds - so once her subscription ran out ( monthly or yearly) she would not be able to leave comments
up to that point she can comment
тАЬI canceled my subscription, yet here I still am, to tell you that I canceled my subscription.тАЭ
Fuck you
no fuck you and please keep your holier than now attitude to yourself.
I hope you feel better about yourself. How hypocritical, to complain about the small minded Trump yet you're ok with defending a man who thinks mentally disabled people are less than us. It's not holier than thou, but you sure are.

In my experience Jeff is apologetic when he unintentionally insults someone not deserving of his ridicule.
I came back to say I don't know why people dumped on you for having an opinion. Not everyone here is nice.
This "This Week in Stupid" was great all the way through, Jeff. Thank you for existing and writing!
