Thank you for your post~ it went right to my funny bone! The other night I told my husband when this fiasco is over I’m gonna have a drink ( must be 10 years now without alcohol) before I finished talking it was up to 2 drinks! 🤭
I have a collection. A bottle of wine that we got for a potluck where people were coming over here. A case and a half of beer purchased for same potluck at our house, and which my husband has been working his way through slowly since then. Most of a bottle of cherry wine my friend made and gave me 2 years ago (very, very bitter), a bottle of dandelion wine my friend made and gave me a year ago, and a bottle of blackberry wine she just gave me. A bottle of wine a friend gave us when we moved into our house. It will get drunk, but I don't know when.
We bought this amazing set of 11ft long cabinets years ago which all attach to each other - all cream and glass/ultra modern, still workable today where I have some of my most precious geodes and collectibles. One section has folding doors with a mirrored backing inside and glass shelves perfect for a 'bar' with a slide-out shelf on which to mix. Down below is even more room for extra bottles. It's PACKED FULL of liquor bottles of all kinds - some going back MANY years, still sealed. Scotch, bourbon, gin, vodka, Schnapps, anything and everything which doesn't spoil. Courvoisier - (when I was on a wee bit of a kick with that for a while). We keep wine separate for friends who do stop by. Neither of us drink and now, with that room pretty much off limits with so much 'stuff' stored there and in the way, we don't access the bar with all of its goodies AND the measuring glasses/other accoutrements: stirrers going back to the old Playboy Club (hubby's younger days). We COULD throw a helluva party when the fuckwit finally kicks the bucket (IF we're still around for that momentously joyous occasion). I must remind my lovely neighbour to be sure to transfer all of the best bottles to her own bar in the event of my departure for any reason so she can raise a toast FOR me. :) I'm sure wherever I'll be I'll still have a huge smile on my face.
I’ve never been much of a drinker, but I’m feeling the same only I have various health problems, so I thought I should just stick to not drinking in fear of adding more than I need because I currently have more than I ever needed!! My mental health can’t take much more of this though!!
Putin is happy, because thanks to his asset Trump he is making bank, and can continue to try to steal Ukraine. I think Ukraine, should help Trump to send some drones over to Russia, instead of to block the Iranian rockets. The sooner the US is defeated the sooner there will be missiles for Ukraine, unless Trump decides to give them to Russia. What if Trump were to decide to give all of our nukes to Putin. Do you think MAGA would go along with it?
Which is what every transperson does. No, not the booze or the stupidity -- play the hand we were dealt. Mutilization? As Moe Howard would say, why, I oughta moitalize him. (Said for comic effect, of course, not as a call to violence.)
Repeat after me: 'Paraphasia' - speech disturbance resulting from brain damage in which speech is jumbled, sentences meaningless, and neologisms frequent.
If I still drank? The booze and the stupidity would absolutely be a part of the hand I was dealt...or dealt myself, or something.
It doesn't fix everything, but somebody should tell Pete Kegstand that sobriety is not only achievable, after you get over the hump it's a lot better than going through life drunk, belligerent, and stupid....
Maybe he's finally admit he's protesting his machismo too much if he were sober?
EDITED TO ADD: Oh, geez, it was TRUMP who said that? I.... Talk about attacking a problem that's none of his damned business.
Boy, do I hate an asshole who gives tosspots a bad name. Hey, I'm trying to drink in peace over here! Pirro won the blue ribbon though. She may not be drunk as she looks because she got an eyelift that makes her look cockeyed, but it was great listening to this rant on CNN radio--there was this whole part about deals with the devil that she had to make, if it helped save an abused child...and she was the first to help abused children! Unfortunately, her Shiraz box was empty and she stormed off before she could answer any questions about whether the devil looked like Jon Lovitz on SNL.
It seems like every single one of the cabinet secretaries is addicted to alcohol or drugs of some kind. RFK Jr. snorting coke off a toilet seat is an image that gives me the creepy crawlies.
100 proof's easy—that's about half the bottles of Vodka out there!
I think you mean 200 proof, which is 100% alcohol, which doesn't stay 200 proof for long because it wants water and sucks it out of the air if it can't get it any other way.
Good Morning Jeff… I wanted to relate what the experience was last evening to attend my synagogue outside of Phoenix. Double security at the front door, metal detectors then you are allowed in. Once inside I noticed a small number of congregants wearing bright lime vests, those are the go to people if an attack occurs they will lead congregants to a safe area within the synagogue. Mind you this congregation is made up of seniors, at 74 I’m among the youngest. Put simply, I have never been under such scrutiny, never seen law enforcement cruise through our parking lot so many times… yes there is a palpable fear and yet a resilient streak that says.. yes we are targeted but it’s no different than what our ancestors faced over millennia… Best to All.
While in no way condoning any violence if Israel had not war crimed the Hell out of Gaza and killed a hundred thousand women and children then there would not be so much hate directed at Jews in general.
Have you noticed our corporate-owned media quit covering the war protestors in Israel? As if to deny them doing what they can against the war monger in power, just like they downplay protests here. They contribute to the illusion of all of Israel being behind Bibi, and the far rights foul deeds. I feel for those stuck under a butcher, no one deserves that.
Are you saying that a synagogue full of pre-schoolers DESERVE to be attacked due to the actions of the Israeli government? Just because they’re Jewish?
Wow, what will we Americans deserve based on the actions of our current government?!?
This is a disgusting comment. Would you say the same about other groups? Is it okay to bomb mosques and attack random Muslims because of Hamas? Or Russian people because of Putin? Antisemitism is not the fault of Jews, unless you are an antisemite, which you clearly are.
And when the shoe drops and any assorted group of generic Americans gets attacked as revenge for what our drug-addled, alcoholic, ignorant government has wrought in the Middle East.
You have some fucking nerve to say what you said and then accuse a Jewish person of being hateful. Quoting you: "Innocent is a relative term." Meaning what? That all Jews around the world lost any claim to innocence? You again: "You do reap what you sow." VERY CLEARLY STATING that anything being done to us anywhere in the world is our own fault collectively. And your mealymouth "While in no way condoning any violence" is platitudinous garbage when bracketed by your other statements. We aren't "innocent" and we're "reaping what we sowed" but oh, you certainly don't like violence!!!! Go play in traffic, you bigot POS.
YOU SAID IT WAS OKAY. You said Jews were reaping what we sowed when people attack our synagogues. FFS man, just put the white hood on already, you fucking asshole.
Alison. This Ole rando will simply not accept responsibility for his own behaviour on this platform.. Simple as that.. as u can see through his condescending arrogance to every remark opposing his viewpoint.. He’s really rather simple. Thanks for speaking up on behalf of our community.
This Jew HATES and DETESTS every evil thing Bibi and Likud have done to the Palestinian people. And he absolutely opposes everything that they have done to Gazans.
Speak your comment out loud and listen to your words. 'Trump has a Jew in his family who is running things". Are you TRYING to be as antisemitic as possible, or is it accidental? Antisemites on both the right and left always have a few "good Jews" they approve of to use as a shield against accusations of bigotry. Hell, Stephen fucking Miller is Jewish. The fact that there are some Jews in this admin is irrelevant to the current discussion, and the fact you keep harping on it tells us all we need to know about you and your mindset.
Come on, man, that's like spitting on Vietnam Vets, attacking Muslims for Gaza, or blaming liberals for the violence being done now. We can't let our anger be misdirected to other than the real enemy. Practicing Jews are not responsible for the harm being done by the Israel State. That's a deliberate misdirection & we have to know better. The Jews, the coloreds, the gays, the women...are not the problem & we know it. Do you blame Christians for this for what's being done "in the name of God" in this country? Do you think they should all denounce their spiritual practice because it's being misrepresented by bad people in power? We're smarter than that.
I never said they should be blamed. I just pointed out a truthful fact: that Israel’s actions in Gaza are what is fueling the current spate of synagogue attacks, along with the historical animosity some hold for Jews.
I am not one of those and the shellacking I’ve received from these ignoramuses is quite amusing. All riled up for no good reason at all.
I must say this Ole fellow is bereft of history.. Tell me why every empire has raged against their Jewish Community.. This Jew hatred is history, to allege it is on Israel demonstrates you lack of historical perspective. I stand by what I experienced last evening, I stand by my comments concerning the historical hate of the Jewish community…. In fact it all comes down to the fact that my community exists and people like yourself deny that we should exist… full stop… that’s reality.
You are also quick with the over reaction, Fastball.
I am bereft of nothing; of course the historical hatred of Jews is also a cause of these anti semitic acts but Israel’s atrocious acts of criminality in Gaza are also st blame.
And what’s with the casual tossing around of the anti semite label?!?
I said nothing that an intelligent mind could possibly construe as anti semitic. Take that BS somewhere else, All of you.
Bibi did it for himself. He is desperate to stay out of prison. Nothing he is doing is, in even the slightest way, meant to be for the benefit of Israel or Jews: his goal is to consolidate power in order to be untouchable as an all-powerful dictator.
My uncle by marriage, (his brother and my mother), was for 30 years rabbi of Temple Beth Israel in Phoenix, AZ, Rabbi Albert Plotkin. I'm relieved he is no longer alive to see this level of security and anti-semitism.
It strikes me that this kind of tragedy is harder for a religious man who is serving The Eternal to the best of their abilities. I heard Job is the oldest part of the Bible, because the question "Why do the wicked prosper?" is such an old one.
Mwfeiger: I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ and my family went to Temple Beth Israel. My Bar Mitzvah (Bat Mitzvah back then because I hadn't yet transitioned to male) was with Rabbi Plotkin. He was kind and helpful.
It is a small world. I'm confident Uncle Al would be welcoming before, or after, transition. He fully accepted my life's choice, when at 9 years old, I ditched Hebrew school for a year, then told my mother it just wasn't my 'bag'. So, unlike you, I did not have a Bat Mitzvah.
Many in my family attend the reformed synagogue in my town, and I'm concerned, worry about this rise in anti-semitism. #TheAgeOfMonsters
Wish I could crawl into a cave and hibernate until it's all over. At 68, just hope to live to see the day we return to sanity, but with the passing of each day, I doubt I'll still be on this mortal coil. These fuckers have already done so much damage to all our once trusted institutions & services, it will take decades, if not generations, to repair. Realistically, can only hope to at least see a start.
Have been seeing a lot of articles & posts saying tRump actually wants a Sleeper Cell to come to life, a terrorist act w/in our country, so he can declare Martial Law, suspend elections. The midterms are our only lifeline, the only hope to escape this madness. We must do all we can to ensure free & fair midterm elections. They could not be more obvious about their machinations to subvert & steal. It's our most important issue, IMHO.
Yes it is depressing to have to go thru a bunch of security checks to go to temple...which is why most of the time now I just stream the service at home.
There are two kinds of Jewish holiday, "They tried to kill us, but we're still here, let's eat!" and "They tried to kill us, got a lot of us, let's fast"
Last month it was Bondi out front of the burning shithouse. This week it's Drunkle Pete Kegdeath.
Always on the sidelines is the rotten Trumpmouthing of Leavitt, and presiding over all is the rotting narcissist and his sordid, obscene (and documented) past.
His dwindling cult sees no wrong, even when they die. Which they will. Which they are.
The Republicans fighting the last war think that restricting voting to passport holders will somehow help them. Have they ever seen their electorate? They think these people crushed by the generations of corporate machinery so they live in unpainted houses and drive broken-down cars with expired plates have ever had a passport? Most of them can't afford to go to Branson, let alone Nassau.
If you're not a billionaire and you still support this grifting group of lying thugs, you're a fucking moron. You're buying your own fate and taking the world with you. Good job.
Thats the funny thing. Many of the Republican Voters are rural and working class and probably don't have passports. This may not work out like they think. Especially if they try to make it harder to vote. That tends to galvanize people.
watch this and share it. we're at a crucial moment where if we do not radically change how our government functions we will all perish. you don't have to look at Germany in 1933. look at the United States now and look at the United States and lead up to the civil war. this video is absolutely correct.
I think if you're looking for historical analogies look no further than the lead up to the civil war where the anti-slavery party was all about getting back to the status quo. Even Lincoln was all about the status quo until the war started. he never believed in equality of the races and use the emancipation proclamation as an expedient for winning the war. our constitution is functioning exactly as designed and the idea is to keep the boot on the neck of a true democracy. That's how it was designed and that's how it functions now. we want to change it we need to undertake some very serious ideas. Don't be thinking about John Kennedy. think about John Brown
My wife and I went there several years ago, because her brother had tickets to a show and their friends backed out. On the way down we went by some big church, and it had a sign in front that said JESUS in giant letters probably 10' high. As we left Branson and we passed by the church on the way home, I looked at her and said, "JESUS" let's get the fuck out of here. Unfortunately, her brother passed away the following Christmas and yes, we've never been back and never will. MAGA paradise is not for us.
It's a surreal place, that's for sure. Jess Piper talks a lot about the state of Missouri and Arkansas in her Substack post's. It is frightening at how backwards they are, look no further that the Huckabee's of Arkansas.
The thing I don’t understand is why wasn’t Mike Huckabee investigated for helping cover up the Duggar boy’s abuse of his sisters? He helped hide that fact, and just happened to know a State Trooper who “counseled him” (on how NOT to get caught) but both he and the trooper are in jail for molesting kids, or in Josh’s case having child sex abuse pics. Let me repeat he just happened to know a pedo to send Josh Duggar to for counseling. That is not normal.
With the crab legs and lobster tails being in the millions of dollars, the bar bill must be way up there. How the hell do you spend $2 million on crab legs in one month,
God, yes--it gets deeper furrows by the day, it's so thickly greased. He also seems to have developed some skunk striping in there, which makes me query:
Has anyone ever seen him and Tulsi Gabbard in the same room together? I'm starting to have suspicions.
Where are the headlines on that? I feel like it was met with a shrug. And yet there were so much hay over the $100 wrench or whatever that I still remember it.
And the thing about the hysteria over the "overpriced" tools and such for the military.....I just saw an interview with an old warhorse of a general, who explained that a lot of those expenditures were genuine, as something as ordinary as, say, a fighter-jet bolt had to be custom designed and made to withstand high G-forces. The equipment wasn't the same stuff you buy in Lowe's!
In contrast, I highly doubt Kegseth's crab legs are specially designed for use in combat.
Right Susan. Boy, those republicans sure are good for the economy and they really know how to budget and save money—
Just look at how they cut out all that money that was being wasted on hungry children in the United States and starving and dying children in Africa and around the world. What horrible PR we were portraying. Saving all that money that was being wasted on children and all the “little people” so they could buy flying fuck jets for the puppy killer and multiple golfing trips on Fuck Force One for Mr Pumpkinhead and, let’s not forget Corporal McCrushnuts and his private makeup room; plus, let’s not forget all the frivolous lawsuits and indictments that cost millions and then there’s the deadly unnecessary money gobbling wars, and, yes, finally let’s not forget the king crabs and lobster for the republicans because those cute little fellers work so hard having to endure 20 vacations a year so they can avoid voting on things like the Epstein files.
I’m sorry. I digress. Actually pardon me while I throw up
Absolutely wild that Trump is mad at Maggie Haberman for being unfair to him when liberals have been mad at Maggie Haberman for years for giving him endless journamalism tonguebaths.
Don the Con looks likes he's melting. It must be an embalmer doing his make-up now. Thanks to him it now costs me more money on wine to dull the panic and pain I feel at the destruction of our country and the services it provides to it's citizens. Now they're sending troops over to the Middle East. Yeah, that will all make us feel safe here at home. All that money spent on crab and lobster tails to buy loyalty from the military instead of spent on veterans suffering here at home from previous "excursions." This next batch of injured soldiers will find out the hard way how gutted the VA is now.
You’re right Mingo! I feel for our veterans. I am not one but I appreciate the service they’ve given our country in an occupation that’s dangerous even in peacetime.
I have never understood how republicans can furiously wave the flag and send our citizens off to war to get killed and maimed and then totally forget about them and basically shit on them after they’re out of the service.
We thought this “use and abuse”thing arrived with trump.
Nope—republicans have been doing it for decades. They’ve honed it to a fine skill. The republicans are chicken shit—they hide in the closet and do it (so that makes it ok I guess in their thinking—just don’t say it out loud).
Drumpf does it to your face and republicans (with a nervous chuckle) go “well, I guess we can come out of the closet now (except you Lindsey) and be who we really are— (do we really need to spell it out) which are misogynistic, homophobic, racist, fear mongering, war mongering, self serving, self righteous, arrogant pricks.
Now they can and are doing it in the open because drumpf made it ok.
Whoa, is that Marsha Blackburn in the screenshot with Larry Kudlow? Looks like somebody finally showed her how to comb her hair. She generally looks like she just rolled out of bed five minutes before showing up on the Senate floor.
Wasn't it Kudlow who used to have a serious drug habit? I never could figure out how he got a such a "good" rep as an economic trend predictor. I never found his economic "predictions" to be very accurate. Now he's too insulated from the economics of the average US household to grasp how far off his pronouncements have become. What in the world is Fox paying him for, anyway?
I'm old enough to remember PBS' Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser. Yes, he leaned conservative but what class! Haven't seen that level of grace and erudition in the media in over 20 years.
Still laughing. With big tears of gratitude streaming down my face. Prissy Pete, Boxwine, the Sheriff of Rotting Hand-thank you sir, for your attention to these matters!
The extent of my drinking for the last decade has been sharing a bottle of wine with the spouse over Sunday night dinner. Midweek, some personal issues which should have been minor were exacerbated by my dismay over our beautiful country being destroyed by one--ONE!!--pathological narcissist!
The cadre behind the Evil One is doing the destruction. Democrats who approved Trump's Cabinet, the Supreme Court that rubberstamps in advance any Trump action and the voters who will vote for a Republican Congress to continue Trump's madness.
Drink up, ma'm! It's the only way we'll make it through this phantasmagoric clowntangle of f24/7 foolery and fuckery! Down the hatch! I recommend tiki bars.
I didn't start out with the intention of making this the drunkest This Week In Stupid ever, but I had to play the hand I was dealt
Thank God your hand doesn't look like Trump's!
We need you.
Never so glad to be a nondrinker than when I read about all these booze-soaked worm-guzzlers in the admin.
I’ve never been much of a drinker either, but if this shit goes on much longer, I’ll be checking myself into rehab by June.
Thank you for your post~ it went right to my funny bone! The other night I told my husband when this fiasco is over I’m gonna have a drink ( must be 10 years now without alcohol) before I finished talking it was up to 2 drinks! 🤭
Same here, Diana!
I started to say, I’ve got more booze in the house now than I’ve ever had in my life. I’m ready for Armageddon now; not really but you get the point.
I have a collection. A bottle of wine that we got for a potluck where people were coming over here. A case and a half of beer purchased for same potluck at our house, and which my husband has been working his way through slowly since then.

Sounds like a good time!
That’s the attitude Stephanie!
I’ve never been much of a drinker, but I’m feeling the same only I have various health problems, so I thought I should just stick to not drinking in fear of adding more than I need because I currently have more than I ever needed!! My mental health can’t take much more of this though!!
I’ve always been a drinker and used to take several days off in a row. Since Jan 2025, I’ve tried, but hasn’t happened.
I read that one should not drink more than 3 times a week, and at 70 one should not drink any more.
It's Happy Hour somewhere in the world!
At the Kremlin.
Well played Seth!
These fuckers aren’t even close to happy, might be time for a brand change.
Putin is happy, because thanks to his asset Trump he is making bank, and can continue to try to steal Ukraine. I think Ukraine, should help Trump to send some drones over to Russia, instead of to block the Iranian rockets. The sooner the US is defeated the sooner there will be missiles for Ukraine, unless Trump decides to give them to Russia. What if Trump were to decide to give all of our nukes to Putin. Do you think MAGA would go along with it?
Which is what every transperson does. No, not the booze or the stupidity -- play the hand we were dealt. Mutilization? As Moe Howard would say, why, I oughta moitalize him. (Said for comic effect, of course, not as a call to violence.)

Poignant Stephen!
Beat me to it. They’re watching cartoons in the Oval now.
They don't need a TV for that, just work the room
nyuk nyuk
Hugs to you Fran! Lots of us understand completely!
Thanks, Abigail! I’ll have my own Substack post about the war on Ts hopefully later today.
I love it! Moitalize!
If I still drank? The booze and the stupidity would absolutely be a part of the hand I was dealt...or dealt myself, or something.

One of the qualities of a first rate journalist is the ability to pivot at a moment’s notice.
Boy, do I hate an asshole who gives tosspots a bad name. Hey, I'm trying to drink in peace over here! Pirro won the blue ribbon though. She may not be drunk as she looks because she got an eyelift that makes her look cockeyed, but it was great listening to this rant on CNN radio--there was this whole part about deals with the devil that she had to make, if it helped save an abused child...and she was the first to help abused children! Unfortunately, her Shiraz box was empty and she stormed off before she could answer any questions about whether the devil looked like Jon Lovitz on SNL.
Jon Lovitz and I got an "F" for the day for playing dice in Mrs. Brown's 8th-grade English class
She warned you two and now look at the state of the world.
😂
Well, she WAS pretty pissed off
When I read mutilization, it implanted itself in my brain, and now I can’t unthink it!
A Blue Sky follower just shard this old CNN story w/me:
https://youtu.be/pMrVdFnjEjs?si=_Ayo58rpygsrlLBz
Believe it's one for the ages.
Kegseth is a complete disgrace. Hope the drummer guy got a sizable settlement. Worth watching til the very end.
Michael I hope the drummer Sued the hell outta kegsbreath!
Thank you for that! I've already shared it.
You did great Jeff. Slow fastball right over the center of the plate—that just can’t be resisted.
And, by the way, where’s AA when you really need them?
Ok AA, you can’t throw us a bone but how bout at least a Shirley Temple
Sobriety is a fine thing, taken in moderation
I’ll drink to that!
Or a Virgin Mary? The "virgin" part would be right up Prez Shit for Brains alley
Perfect 👌
It seems like every single one of the cabinet secretaries is addicted to alcohol or drugs of some kind. RFK Jr. snorting coke off a toilet seat is an image that gives me the creepy crawlies.
You were playing 'rummy'!! You win!
Thank you Uncle Jeff! We appreciate your story telling to the extreme! 😆
For me, I’m just glad that my Purple Haze harvest from last year is holding out…
Too many drunks. I think we should take the hint and send them cases of 100 proof alcohol.
Actually, in checking on this I am told the highest proof is a bit less. According to several sources, but here Red and White Shops,
From Hell to Your Glass:
The Top 12 Strongest Alcohol Drinks in the World
Spirytus Rektyfikowany (96% ABV) ...
Golden Grain (95% ABV) ...
Everclear (95% ABV) ...
Bruichladdich X4 Quadrupled Whisky (92% ABV) ...
Absinthe Hapsburg Hardcore (89.9% ABV) ...
Pincer Shanghai Strength (88.88% ABV) ...
Balkan 176 Vodka (88% ABV) ...
Sunset Rum (84.5% ABV)
I only listed 8, because the other 4 would have required me to open the link. Here it is:
https://redandwhiteshops.com/liquor-world/trends/strongest-alcohol-drink/
100 proof's easy—that's about half the bottles of Vodka out there!
I think you mean 200 proof, which is 100% alcohol, which doesn't stay 200 proof for long because it wants water and sucks it out of the air if it can't get it any other way.
Does anyone sell 200 proof? Is that grain alcohol?
What Trump probably MEANT to say was that the war would be over when he felt it in his bone spurs.
ok, that's so good I'm jealous I didn't think of it first
Or... in his BONER - get it??
he can't get those anymore....
but he can still grope
That's probably why he's so mean. The pills ain't workin' no mo.
Arne, you know that there's no way in hell that Melanoma would get that close to him.
She probably helped manage the sex rings. A retired pro becomes a madam. As in Madam First Lady.
ha ha ha!
👆🎯
He can if she’s young enough.
I believe he does. That is why his hand looks so swollen.
all right you, stop that. I’m already nauseated enough.
Ewwww
I’ll pass. 😅
Come on, Mel’s long past aging out…
Loony Loomer has been trying to fill in for her, but even that trout pout of hers can only do so much.
In that case, we’re all doomed! 🚨🔥
I’d love to take credit for it, but I saw it somewhere on social media!
Honest too!
You get points
⬆️⬆️🤣🎯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🤣🤣🤣
I thought he meant the war will be over when his bones are mouldering in his grave.
That's a pleasant thought!!!
Sadly, his insanity will linger on.
I think right Stephanie. We underestimate his bone spurs biggly.
Just the other day a n exasperated man walked up to me and asked “What’s the frequency Kenneth?” I replied
“I’m not sure sir but if you tune into Donnie’s bone spurs you’ll find an oldie but goodie playing on a loop:
“We’ll meet again,
Don’t know where
Don’t know when…”
😂

I am so sorry you are having to live this. It's unconscionable.
You beat me to it.
In my very liberal town the local synagogue still has an officer out front during services. All the hate directed at innocent people saddens me.
Innocent is a relative term.
While in no way condoning any violence if Israel had not war crimed the Hell out of Gaza and killed a hundred thousand women and children then there would not be so much hate directed at Jews in general.
You do reap what you sow
Jewish people are not = Israel! The people being attacked in synagogues have nothing to do with what Netanyahu's government is doing!
Just as American People are NOT=tRump!
Have you noticed our corporate-owned media quit covering the war protestors in Israel? As if to deny them doing what they can against the war monger in power, just like they downplay protests here. They contribute to the illusion of all of Israel being behind Bibi, and the far rights foul deeds. I feel for those stuck under a butcher, no one deserves that.
Well the truth is a little inconvenient, and adding context and nuance does make it difficult to get those hate clicks.
Innocent is a relative term?!?
Are you saying that a synagogue full of pre-schoolers DESERVE to be attacked due to the actions of the Israeli government? Just because they’re Jewish?
Wow, what will we Americans deserve based on the actions of our current government?!?
Armageddon
I think Ole has stumbled into the wrong room on this platform. We have one purpose here and it’s definitely not antisemitism.
I think you are overly impressed with your own erroneous opinion, KJM
I said nothing antisemitic.
I merely pointed out a truthful fact- the actions of Netanyahoo and Israel are the principal cause of these synagogue attacks.
And you call me anti semitic. You are a little quick on the trigger finger with that slur.
This is a disgusting comment. Would you say the same about other groups? Is it okay to bomb mosques and attack random Muslims because of Hamas? Or Russian people because of Putin? Antisemitism is not the fault of Jews, unless you are an antisemite, which you clearly are.
And when the shoe drops and any assorted group of generic Americans gets attacked as revenge for what our drug-addled, alcoholic, ignorant government has wrought in the Middle East.
I didn’t say it was OK. I specifically said that it was not.
Your hate blinds you to the truth.
You have some fucking nerve to say what you said and then accuse a Jewish person of being hateful. Quoting you: "Innocent is a relative term." Meaning what? That all Jews around the world lost any claim to innocence? You again: "You do reap what you sow." VERY CLEARLY STATING that anything being done to us anywhere in the world is our own fault collectively. And your mealymouth "While in no way condoning any violence" is platitudinous garbage when bracketed by your other statements. We aren't "innocent" and we're "reaping what we sowed" but oh, you certainly don't like violence!!!! Go play in traffic, you bigot POS.
It’s not OK to bomb anything.
You are getting hysterical now.
YOU SAID IT WAS OKAY. You said Jews were reaping what we sowed when people attack our synagogues. FFS man, just put the white hood on already, you fucking asshole.
Alison. This Ole rando will simply not accept responsibility for his own behaviour on this platform.. Simple as that.. as u can see through his condescending arrogance to every remark opposing his viewpoint.. He’s really rather simple. Thanks for speaking up on behalf of our community.
This Jew HATES and DETESTS every evil thing Bibi and Likud have done to the Palestinian people. And he absolutely opposes everything that they have done to Gazans.
Kushner, a jew, demanded beachfront property. Not all Jews are criminals but he is.
What's your point? Why does it matter that he's Jewish?
Exactly. I fail to see the connection, myself.
No disrespect to any Jewish friends.
Well, I thought that Magats hate jews but love Trump
Trump has a jew in his family who is running things. Do magnets know this?
Speak your comment out loud and listen to your words. 'Trump has a Jew in his family who is running things". Are you TRYING to be as antisemitic as possible, or is it accidental? Antisemites on both the right and left always have a few "good Jews" they approve of to use as a shield against accusations of bigotry. Hell, Stephen fucking Miller is Jewish. The fact that there are some Jews in this admin is irrelevant to the current discussion, and the fact you keep harping on it tells us all we need to know about you and your mindset.
Well, the banshees are on your back now, Arne. Don’t bother using truth and logic with them - they are one theme ponies.
Blaming victims isn’t what’s needed.
Come on, man, that's like spitting on Vietnam Vets, attacking Muslims for Gaza, or blaming liberals for the violence being done now. We can't let our anger be misdirected to other than the real enemy. Practicing Jews are not responsible for the harm being done by the Israel State. That's a deliberate misdirection & we have to know better. The Jews, the coloreds, the gays, the women...are not the problem & we know it. Do you blame Christians for this for what's being done "in the name of God" in this country? Do you think they should all denounce their spiritual practice because it's being misrepresented by bad people in power? We're smarter than that.
Ole with that we are all to be blamed for what’s in our WH rn
I never said they should be blamed. I just pointed out a truthful fact: that Israel’s actions in Gaza are what is fueling the current spate of synagogue attacks, along with the historical animosity some hold for Jews.
I am not one of those and the shellacking I’ve received from these ignoramuses is quite amusing. All riled up for no good reason at all.
I must say this Ole fellow is bereft of history.. Tell me why every empire has raged against their Jewish Community.. This Jew hatred is history, to allege it is on Israel demonstrates you lack of historical perspective. I stand by what I experienced last evening, I stand by my comments concerning the historical hate of the Jewish community…. In fact it all comes down to the fact that my community exists and people like yourself deny that we should exist… full stop… that’s reality.
And your limericks suck, Fastball. Puerile and juvenile, an insult to the form.
And now you are creating words to make up your witless rhymes.
Time to give it a rest
You are sounding similar to the MAGAS I’m around… bring up evidence or facts or law and I’m told I have TDS… you are no different…
You are also quick with the over reaction, Fastball.
I am bereft of nothing; of course the historical hatred of Jews is also a cause of these anti semitic acts but Israel’s atrocious acts of criminality in Gaza are also st blame.
And what’s with the casual tossing around of the anti semite label?!?
I said nothing that an intelligent mind could possibly construe as anti semitic. Take that BS somewhere else, All of you.
Thank you for your attention to this matter Ole.. “Quick with the overreaction” that’s pure gold there Sport.
These guys may have not sown it, think of that?
No, not directly. But BiBi did it for them.
Bibi did it for himself. He is desperate to stay out of prison. Nothing he is doing is, in even the slightest way, meant to be for the benefit of Israel or Jews: his goal is to consolidate power in order to be untouchable as an all-powerful dictator.
I feel certain that the Trump family have guaranteed him a fabulous penthouse after the reconstruction of Gaza
Bibi and his far right cabinet of war criminals who "won" by such a small margin. Just like trump.
They've had a police officer out front for years.
WTF does that even mean?
No, don't go there.
Our local Hebrew Academy (Orthodox Jewish school) has concrete barricades in front of it.
Ours has a full time guard even when very little is happening.
Yes, it should be directed at the ones causing the hate, not the innocent.
My uncle by marriage, (his brother and my mother), was for 30 years rabbi of Temple Beth Israel in Phoenix, AZ, Rabbi Albert Plotkin. I'm relieved he is no longer alive to see this level of security and anti-semitism.
My family used to attend Temple Beth Israel in the 60's. I remember Rabbi Plotkin. He was a very kind man.
He was kind and decent, as was his wife Sylvia. Sad that his wife and both his daughters, Janice and Debbie, were taken by breast cancer.
It strikes me that this kind of tragedy is harder for a religious man who is serving The Eternal to the best of their abilities. I heard Job is the oldest part of the Bible, because the question "Why do the wicked prosper?" is such an old one.
Mwfeiger: I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ and my family went to Temple Beth Israel. My Bar Mitzvah (Bat Mitzvah back then because I hadn't yet transitioned to male) was with Rabbi Plotkin. He was kind and helpful.
It is a small world. I'm confident Uncle Al would be welcoming before, or after, transition. He fully accepted my life's choice, when at 9 years old, I ditched Hebrew school for a year, then told my mother it just wasn't my 'bag'. So, unlike you, I did not have a Bat Mitzvah.
Many in my family attend the reformed synagogue in my town, and I'm concerned, worry about this rise in anti-semitism. #TheAgeOfMonsters
Wish I could crawl into a cave and hibernate until it's all over. At 68, just hope to live to see the day we return to sanity, but with the passing of each day, I doubt I'll still be on this mortal coil. These fuckers have already done so much damage to all our once trusted institutions & services, it will take decades, if not generations, to repair. Realistically, can only hope to at least see a start.
Have been seeing a lot of articles & posts saying tRump actually wants a Sleeper Cell to come to life, a terrorist act w/in our country, so he can declare Martial Law, suspend elections. The midterms are our only lifeline, the only hope to escape this madness. We must do all we can to ensure free & fair midterm elections. They could not be more obvious about their machinations to subvert & steal. It's our most important issue, IMHO.
Please do everything you can to stay safe. We are on your side and have your back.
Yes it is depressing to have to go thru a bunch of security checks to go to temple...which is why most of the time now I just stream the service at home.
My God. I thought that we had moved past all that. I am so sorry that you have to go through this (again).
That is heartbreaking and infuriating, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Stay safe.
This an outrage. Be careful, my friend.
There are two kinds of Jewish holiday, "They tried to kill us, but we're still here, let's eat!" and "They tried to kill us, got a lot of us, let's fast"

Never see your handle without hearing the music. Thank you
Hugs to you all!
Last month it was Bondi out front of the burning shithouse. This week it's Drunkle Pete Kegdeath.
Always on the sidelines is the rotten Trumpmouthing of Leavitt, and presiding over all is the rotting narcissist and his sordid, obscene (and documented) past.
His dwindling cult sees no wrong, even when they die. Which they will. Which they are.
The Republicans fighting the last war think that restricting voting to passport holders will somehow help them. Have they ever seen their electorate? They think these people crushed by the generations of corporate machinery so they live in unpainted houses and drive broken-down cars with expired plates have ever had a passport? Most of them can't afford to go to Branson, let alone Nassau.
If you're not a billionaire and you still support this grifting group of lying thugs, you're a fucking moron. You're buying your own fate and taking the world with you. Good job.
Happy Saturday
Thats the funny thing. Many of the Republican Voters are rural and working class and probably don't have passports. This may not work out like they think. Especially if they try to make it harder to vote. That tends to galvanize people.

watch this and share it. we're at a crucial moment where if we do not radically change how our government functions we will all perish. you don't have to look at Germany in 1933. look at the United States now and look at the United States and lead up to the civil war. this video is absolutely correct.
I think the idea is to make sure only the wealthy can vote.
And restrict voting to men. Why would married women even want to vote?
Will a widow be allowed to represent her husband in the voting booth?
Not if they took their husband’s name and didn’t register again 50 years later.
White men, like the founders intended. /s
I think if you're looking for historical analogies look no further than the lead up to the civil war where the anti-slavery party was all about getting back to the status quo. Even Lincoln was all about the status quo until the war started. he never believed in equality of the races and use the emancipation proclamation as an expedient for winning the war. our constitution is functioning exactly as designed and the idea is to keep the boot on the neck of a true democracy. That's how it was designed and that's how it functions now. we want to change it we need to undertake some very serious ideas. Don't be thinking about John Kennedy. think about John Brown
"Even Lincoln was all about the status quo until the war started."
As Mike Tyson put it, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."
Branson, where theaters for the cultured MAGAts have cup holders and pulled pork.
My wife and I went there several years ago, because her brother had tickets to a show and their friends backed out. On the way down we went by some big church, and it had a sign in front that said JESUS in giant letters probably 10' high. As we left Branson and we passed by the church on the way home, I looked at her and said, "JESUS" let's get the fuck out of here. Unfortunately, her brother passed away the following Christmas and yes, we've never been back and never will. MAGA paradise is not for us.
Yeah, those people are creepy, "jesusing" every other sentence.
It's a surreal place, that's for sure. Jess Piper talks a lot about the state of Missouri and Arkansas in her Substack post's. It is frightening at how backwards they are, look no further that the Huckabee's of Arkansas.
The thing I don’t understand is why wasn’t Mike Huckabee investigated for helping cover up the Duggar boy’s abuse of his sisters? He helped hide that fact, and just happened to know a State Trooper who “counseled him” (on how NOT to get caught) but both he and the trooper are in jail for molesting kids, or in Josh’s case having child sex abuse pics. Let me repeat he just happened to know a pedo to send Josh Duggar to for counseling. That is not normal.
I was in OH around the Columbus area. My sister lives there. I’m from S.W.PA. I could not wait to get the heck outta there!
March 28, No Kings!
That's REALLY funny!! I actually laughed out loud, which is very unusual!! Thanks, Bill.
Glad to provide some laughter.
; )
J Hardy you are right and almost as grumpy as me but I think I got you by a hair
Your subtle allusion to Branson is funny and it fits.
The douchebag-in-chief will turn 80

Please subscribe to my Substack if you like the above. Jeff seems to be okay with it!
80= one year closer to tangerine rigor mortis. When he expires there will already be shit in his diaper.
I’m sure you’re right Joe.
But on the bright side for ol’ “Shit for Brains” is that, unlike JFK, he won’t have brains stolen because… well…

Thank you!

A national treasure? Wow! Thank you!

👏👏👏👏👏
With the crab legs and lobster tails being in the millions of dollars, the bar bill must be way up there. How the hell do you spend $2 million on crab legs in one month,
Unless, of course with some digging, we find they were covering embezzling.
C'mon, Pete Hegseth? You know he spends oodles on his personal comfort.
Looks like most of the petroleum in the Strategic Oil Reserve is going on his hair.
God, yes--it gets deeper furrows by the day, it's so thickly greased. He also seems to have developed some skunk striping in there, which makes me query:
Has anyone ever seen him and Tulsi Gabbard in the same room together? I'm starting to have suspicions.
😁🤣😂🤣
And his ham hooks. Makes it pretty challenging to do those lame pull-ups
With his hands in the wrong position.
There you go.
Given the criminals he promotes, it would be more shocking if they weren't embezzling.
Where are the headlines on that? I feel like it was met with a shrug. And yet there were so much hay over the $100 wrench or whatever that I still remember it.
And the thing about the hysteria over the "overpriced" tools and such for the military.....I just saw an interview with an old warhorse of a general, who explained that a lot of those expenditures were genuine, as something as ordinary as, say, a fighter-jet bolt had to be custom designed and made to withstand high G-forces. The equipment wasn't the same stuff you buy in Lowe's!
In contrast, I highly doubt Kegseth's crab legs are specially designed for use in combat.
Right Susan. Boy, those republicans sure are good for the economy and they really know how to budget and save money—
Just look at how they cut out all that money that was being wasted on hungry children in the United States and starving and dying children in Africa and around the world. What horrible PR we were portraying. Saving all that money that was being wasted on children and all the “little people” so they could buy flying fuck jets for the puppy killer and multiple golfing trips on Fuck Force One for Mr Pumpkinhead and, let’s not forget Corporal McCrushnuts and his private makeup room; plus, let’s not forget all the frivolous lawsuits and indictments that cost millions and then there’s the deadly unnecessary money gobbling wars, and, yes, finally let’s not forget the king crabs and lobster for the republicans because those cute little fellers work so hard having to endure 20 vacations a year so they can avoid voting on things like the Epstein files.
I’m sorry. I digress. Actually pardon me while I throw up
Absolutely wild that Trump is mad at Maggie Haberman for being unfair to him when liberals have been mad at Maggie Haberman for years for giving him endless journamalism tonguebaths.
Spot on. Maggie “Trump is Completely Normal” Haberman. PR in the guise of news reporting.
That’s the New York Times Will. What do you expect?
She's been his greatest supporter forever. I think it is hysterical that he has turned on her. Love it!
“Unfair” says the murderous thief & scoundrel.
📬-oh look, fan mail to Donny Dachau… it says:
FUCK OFF ASSHOLE!
👍 Dave
So sad trump is mean to Haberman now. Boo hoo
And here I thought he was addressing his fan club.
“Maggot”
It feels like kayfabe.
Kafabe. Damnit Seth. You’re bound and determined to make me smart whether I like it or not.
(Cool word. Didn’t know there was a word to describe that—
Fascinating role play thingie)
I never heard what she wrote about him. Must have been really really bad.
Don the Con looks likes he's melting. It must be an embalmer doing his make-up now. Thanks to him it now costs me more money on wine to dull the panic and pain I feel at the destruction of our country and the services it provides to it's citizens. Now they're sending troops over to the Middle East. Yeah, that will all make us feel safe here at home. All that money spent on crab and lobster tails to buy loyalty from the military instead of spent on veterans suffering here at home from previous "excursions." This next batch of injured soldiers will find out the hard way how gutted the VA is now.
It breaks my heart.
alas, due to a diagnosis of fatty liver, I have to face this brave new world unmedicated
Damn it! Livers have one job to do and they ought to be getting some excercise while they do it!
Buy the cheaper stuff. It "obliterates" as well.
Aldi has good cheap wine.
Costco’s is top shelf and price is right!
You’re right Mingo! I feel for our veterans. I am not one but I appreciate the service they’ve given our country in an occupation that’s dangerous even in peacetime.
I have never understood how republicans can furiously wave the flag and send our citizens off to war to get killed and maimed and then totally forget about them and basically shit on them after they’re out of the service.
We thought this “use and abuse”thing arrived with trump.
Nope—republicans have been doing it for decades. They’ve honed it to a fine skill. The republicans are chicken shit—they hide in the closet and do it (so that makes it ok I guess in their thinking—just don’t say it out loud).
Drumpf does it to your face and republicans (with a nervous chuckle) go “well, I guess we can come out of the closet now (except you Lindsey) and be who we really are— (do we really need to spell it out) which are misogynistic, homophobic, racist, fear mongering, war mongering, self serving, self righteous, arrogant pricks.
Now they can and are doing it in the open because drumpf made it ok.
At least now we see them for who they really are.
Yup. Post and project that image he hates everywhere. It will get all “Twilight Zoney” and drive him mad. Include the bottle.
Whoa, is that Marsha Blackburn in the screenshot with Larry Kudlow? Looks like somebody finally showed her how to comb her hair. She generally looks like she just rolled out of bed five minutes before showing up on the Senate floor.
Wasn't it Kudlow who used to have a serious drug habit? I never could figure out how he got a such a "good" rep as an economic trend predictor. I never found his economic "predictions" to be very accurate. Now he's too insulated from the economics of the average US household to grasp how far off his pronouncements have become. What in the world is Fox paying him for, anyway?
What is Fox News paying him for? To tell them what they want to hear.
👆🎯
I'm old enough to remember PBS' Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser. Yes, he leaned conservative but what class! Haven't seen that level of grace and erudition in the media in over 20 years.
and not dishonest, which should be a low bar, but no longer is
Fox Not News must think Lowkud is entertaining. Personally I don’t see it; but maybe chewing kud and speaking at the same time has a market

Prissy Pete sure does
A whole lot of rehab escapees leading us down the Primrose path. Or did I mean excursion? Or was that incursion? Maybe just mutilization.
I need a drink now

Still laughing. With big tears of gratitude streaming down my face. Prissy Pete, Boxwine, the Sheriff of Rotting Hand-thank you sir, for your attention to these matters!
It may be my drunkest week as well. How to survive the idiocy?
The extent of my drinking for the last decade has been sharing a bottle of wine with the spouse over Sunday night dinner. Midweek, some personal issues which should have been minor were exacerbated by my dismay over our beautiful country being destroyed by one--ONE!!--pathological narcissist!
I had to open a bottle.
The cadre behind the Evil One is doing the destruction. Democrats who approved Trump's Cabinet, the Supreme Court that rubberstamps in advance any Trump action and the voters who will vote for a Republican Congress to continue Trump's madness.
You are forgiven Miselle…actually I’ll join you and your husband in a drink. We will toast to a better day—hopefully not too far in the future

Drink up, ma'm! It's the only way we'll make it through this phantasmagoric clowntangle of f24/7 foolery and fuckery! Down the hatch! I recommend tiki bars.
At this point, Iran will be demanding regime change in America before THEY call an end to Operation Epic Failure.
