me, I prefer funny weeks to angry weeks, but one has no choice but to play the hand one is dealt

Julie's avatar

I’m fucking pissed every day. And more and more frightened that this fucking idiot is ruining the world economy and doesn’t care and is going to get us all killed. Today the WH is blocking and suppressing warnings of possible terror attacks HERE on citizens. And last night this fucking idiot and Kegbreath launched strikes in Ecuador. I appreciate anger and passion. And Jeff, your takes are the ONLY thing that cut through the bullshit and afford us any laughter. And my heart aches for you every day for the loss of Ms. Spouse and her creative energy, fun sense of humor, and your life together. I remain grateful for you and so sorry for your loss.

Megan Ross's avatar

I'm right there with you, Julie. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! I've had bad dreams of doing great bodily harm to you-know-who, and every member of his Clown Car Cabinet.

Yarnartist's avatar

One morning this week I dreamed I was walking down the street and a MAGAt drove past me very slowly and waggled his fingers at me. I was enraged(!) and started violently flipping him off to the point where I woke myself up—and I was violently flipping the bird at the place where the MAGAt would have been if he had been real! I have decided to slow down on watching the news.

Megan Ross's avatar

I had to completely quit watching the mainstream news. It was affecting my mental health and was manifesting physically. I only read independent journalist's work these days, and occasionally watch a little bit of TV news on the Al Jazeera streaming channel.

Lin Talbot-Koehl's avatar

I watch BBC News exclusively. Al Jazeera is also EXCELLENT....but our stupid cable system removed it from our line-up, not long after 9/11. Because, well, IGNORANCE.

Megan Ross's avatar

Just FYI: I added Al Jazeera to my Roku streaming channels, so I can watch live news as well as other content they offer, for free. I'm very pleased with it! I cut the cable cord years ago and the only thing I've missed watching is MSNBC, but even that has changed for the worse, like mainstream media has.

Same!! Check out today’s Secular Report on YouTube. This war shit is out of control. Trump needs to be removed. Along with Hegseth.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

don't forget Miller and Thiel who fomented all of this.

Julie's avatar

100 percent. Miller is a ghoul. And Thiel runs around giving seminars on the anti-Christ. It’s Secular Talk with Kyle Kulinski. He aggregates all the information out there and talks about it.

CAM from 🇨🇦's avatar

Julie, thank you for your post. I hope that it brings Jeff a small reprieve from the sorrow that has befallen him since his wife’s untimely passing.

Julie's avatar

My heart hurts for him every day. It’s a gut-wrenching loss. And we all just love him. I hope we can give back with our comments and our appreciation and support.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

EVERY word of this, Julie. So appreciated by me and so many of us.

Ellyn's avatar

Thank you, Julie- exactly 💕

Frank Nuts's avatar

Well said Julie. I think we all feel that way

Denise Hall's avatar

Me too Mr tiedrich 💖

Ann Gullberg's avatar

Right there with you, Julie! Every day is a PHD day…. Piled higher and deeper bs every damn day.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Julie, you speak for me too SO well. Thank you. I've no idea how Jeff does it, I'm only so glad that he's here for us as I hope we can continue to be for him. I know he must turn to Claudia so often to ask her: 'can you believe this crap just keeps getting worse'? Only to be hit anew by her loss. Godawful.

Julie's avatar

😭😭😭😭😭😭

celeste k.'s avatar

I agree wholeheartedly. But at the same time, I'm happy that Jeff had someone he loved and appreciated so much to spend his life with. Not everyone gets that lucky. Still, it's sad that it has to end.

I worry for the world and everyone in it. It does seem like we're on the precipice, tottering. It really is up to regular people to find a way to stop the madness, at least here in America where the traitor trump is dumping as much fuel on the fire as he can.

Pamela Van Sickle's avatar

Thank you, Julia. Very well said and says what I was going to.

nkrempa's avatar

When you live in Donnie's "land of confusion," you're right. No choice but to roll with it.

Skepticat's avatar

I'm more concerned about his out-of-control dementia.

Paula Dean's avatar

Seriously! Whatever the many causes may be, it's the current condition that his "stable genius brain" is in that concerns us ALL - as in: the ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET! He can't express a coherent thought...his mind has left the building! And what cocktail of drugs is his "team" flooding his failing body with? I'd like to see the list so I know what to 'just say no" to.

Sometimes, just for shits and giggles, I watch videos of him stumbling over his own tongue, feet, words, etc.,but I pretend it's Biden, or Obama, or even JFK... any politician who I loved and respected. I ask myself: "Hey, Self - could I ignore such glaring insanity and incompetence in my favorite leaders?"

The answer is no. The first sentence Joe Biden spoke during the infamous debate with tRump filled me with horror and despair. So, I really do not understand how anyone - no matter how loyal - can possibly ignore tRump's descent into dementia.

rlritt's avatar

It isn't a glitch. Its part of the plan. He distracts. And Bondi, Voight and Miller dismantle Democracy.

Skepticat's avatar

It isn't a glitch; it's a freaking disaster, but not planned—he's just stripped down to the bare bones of what he actually always has been.

Cathy Wray's avatar

Oh, so true!! Very scary!! Domestic terrorists!!!

Bob Bowden's avatar

You believe in something that’s completely foreign to them: Basic Minimum STANDARDS

Malcolm Maremont's avatar

I'm less concerned about his dementia than the fact that REPUBLICANS WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!

Megan Ross's avatar

I'm equally concerned about both!

Megan Ross's avatar

Me too. Plus, I think TRump suffers from syphilis, which has obviously attacked his brain. 😳

Cathy Wray's avatar

Rotting his brain, or what's left of it.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Was JUST going to say this, Megan. Herpes is a milder form of his deep-down and far longer VD! He claimed to Howard Stern that AVOIDING those were his 'personal Vietnam' - but nope: he clearly had signs of those AND talked about them decades ago! I'd put money on THIS is what he's being 'treated' for, to no avail since once it's in the brain...

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

Isn’t it the late stage syphilis causing his dementia? I mean; he could also have other “conditions” as they aren’t mutually exclusive!

Morgan's avatar

Not likely. Trump's father had Alzheimer's, and there's a known genetic risk. Also, his lifestyle includes everything we are told NOT to do for brain health - he's an obese rage-a-holic, on a junk food diet, who never exercises his body or mind and rage-tweets at night.

They wouldn't be giving him MRIs at 6 month intervals if they thought it was syphilis. Only an autopsy can diagnose Alzheimer's with certainty, but I have no doubt that will prove to be what it is in the end.

Megan Ross's avatar

TRump could very well be suffering from both Alzheimer's and syphilis. He's a walking, talking petri dish, so it's not at all impossible.

Joyce's avatar

I suspect that he's a reported germaphobe because he's already a walking Petri dish and doesn't want to add to his internal collection.

Megan Ross's avatar

OMG, I just wrote almost the same thing before I even read your comment! Great minds...☺️

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

OR - think about this...could he have been ORDERED back then (by Epstein) not to touch those little kids without the gloves/condoms BECAUSE he was already known to have syphilis and 'Jeffrey' wanted to keep those little girls looking 'clean' virginal (even if they'd already been violated?) Think about the lifelong pattern: accuse others of what HE is: abuse and accuse. ZO, if THEY were made to feel as if THEY were somehow 'dirty' it would take the onus off HIS filthy-petri-dish disgusting self AND claiming to be a germaphobe would give him an excuse to fake it. Normal people ALL have the same reaction to him: utter skeeviness at the mere thought of being within 100 feet of the fucker. It's somehow missing from the brains/reactions of magat cultists. Brainwashing? Drugging?

HI2thDoc's avatar

Damn, I hope not. He coulda given poor Stormy an STI.

Julie's avatar

He’s in good company. Henry VIII, Columbus, and George Custer all died of syphilis. And they lost their damn minds from it, too.

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

George Custer died of bullet wounds at the Battle of Little Bighorn.

Julie's avatar

Correct. But he was as crazy as a bag of hair due to end stage syphilitic insanity that affected his judgment.

Stuart's avatar

The historical syphlitic I've seen referenced most often is Lord Randolph Churchill -- Winston's father.

Terri Nighswonger's avatar

He is pretty bad even without all the outlying shit. What an ick.

Tess's avatar

makes me sick of their treatment of trans PEOPLE….plus Kegstand himself makes me sick….ARGH

DJ Headthrob's avatar

It's NOT Herpes. It's clearly either leprosy or an infected Stephen Miller hickey.

Stuart's avatar

I think he's just cosplaying as a redneck.

Brian Riley's avatar

Face it, there are too many people who have zero charisma who depend on the facade of Trump running things to admit he has health problems. He could die in the middle of a cabinet meeting and everybody surrounding him would assure us he was just pining for the Fjords.

Teri Gelini's avatar

Are you sure it is not shingles?? It sure looks like shingles. this is coming from an RN

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Wouldn't he be ITCHING like mad if it were? My brother had Shingles - for a very long time which just wouldn't clear up (secondary to his Diabetes. He eventually died on the operating table as he was having his second leg amputated. No one else in the family had diabetes with the exception of our maternal uncle who ALSO had both of his legs amputated in stages, but no one could tell my hard-headed brother not to smoke, inhale sugar or to take care of his health. His Shingles rash was awful, running around his torso, which he'd scratch until it was bloody. He couldn't even tolerate the softest T-shirt fabric touching his skin.

Lin Talbot-Koehl's avatar

Roughly 30-35 yrs ago, my husband had shingles on his FACE (forehead, bridge of his nose, left eyelid, right down into his *eyelashes*....big clumps of which have never grown back). The actual RASH lasted for a little over two months. He *NEVER* HAD ANY ITCHING - just a deep, intense burning, stabbing pain....which has NEVER TOTALLY GONE AWAY.

The only treatment back then was cold compresses of Domboro solution, which he said did very little to relieve the pain. There were no vaccines to prevent it back then, or treatments to help clear it up faster (&, being a Pharmacist, he KNEW that).

Having said that, what he had on his face, LOOKS EXACTLY like what #Bumblefuck has on his neck.

I hope it spreads to his NADS.

Teri Gelini's avatar

I agree it looks like shingles. I also think he looks worse than usual and more snarky which could be the result of pain...

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

OR a reaction to his meds? Frankly I HOPE he IS in pain (normally something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy - but who'd a thunk that this orange fuckwit would become the enemy of every single humane human in this Country so deserves to feel even a modicum of what he's caused so many to suffer.) Both my Dad and my sister got Bell's Palsy and neither really resolved properly so I'm disinclined to take, use or do anything which could bring 'that' on. Many doctors have heavily promoted Botox for migraines since I'm a long-term migraineur but I wouldn't go near it since one of its main side effects is eyelid drooping and even other eye or neurological problems. I'm already stuck with sufficient issues I won't risk more.

Teri Gelini's avatar

Typically itching is not a sign. It presents with blister that are painful and follows a the nerves in the body. The head and torso are typically where it appears. I would think he is having pain from this rash but probably has some cream and pain meds to help. I have also noticed he has appeared more exhausted than usual which is something pain does to people..it wears them out. With all his problems it is hard to pinpoint what is creating his issues and lack of staying awake and hisincreeased snappiness towards questions from the press he allows to talk to him. Although he walked away recently and said no questions.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Tell me about chronic pain being exhausting! That's been MY life for a very long time and I also don't sleep at night (right now it's 3:16a.m. as I respond to this) ;) Oh, my brother had those blisters at the beginning of his Shingles journey, but once they opened up, then the itching began and he simply couldn't tolerate it. He never could handle pain well to be truthful (had even 'borrowed' opiod pain meds from me without my permission, perhaps hoping I wouldn't notice? Sadly for him, I always kept count). He was several years older than me and I'd always looked up to him until I realized he'd followed our mother's abusive path. ANYway - for him it was terrible itching but deep, to him nerve and bone deep as he described it. I also remember when my best friend who never had any issues other than similar low back orthopedic and hand pain similar to mine, suddenly developing that same rash on her eyebrows and one eyelid you describe. For HER it was intensely painful but she refused all pain meds (just who she is/was). She did tell me that at first some kind of drops give by her doctor worked - for a while. She'd take them whenever it flared up again, then manage the rest. I've known a couple of harmonica players who likewise suffered similarly to my brother - they too found themselves scratching themselves intensely. I've no idea why it affects some people that way and not others?

Teri Gelini's avatar

WE are all so different as you have just described. People react differently to illnesses. I had a patient that involved the eye and she had to use the drops like your friend she said forever off and on . I guess the eye as a site tends to have recurring flareups. My spouse and I both got the shingles vaccine as it does not eliminate the chance of getting it but it is suppose to make less intense. I just hope I never get it. Also it can cause bells palsy which is facial drooping on the affected side of the face. It eventually resolves.

Doc Blase''s avatar

Looks like diaper rash from having the head up his ass.

Now THAT's funny - and he's likely the sole individual I could wish it on - without feeling at all guilty. Ok, Miller too. Kegsbreath, Bondi. Shit- there's a whole fucking LIST of 'em. Aargh!

Hi Jeff, the blurbs you post from FAUX News are simply unwatchable. I know there is humor behind your decision to use those clips, but, I can’t go 10 seconds without reaching for the mute button. It reminds me of how absolutely fucking stoopid someone has to be to watch that shit all day long…and, of course, they pump it straight onto our military bases.

Facts, how do they work?

Kim Steeves's avatar

Just a hint to try to keep your sanity.....don't watch the clips, Jeff does for us, and reports what we need to know. Saving us from them and their slop. Thank you Jeff!!!

Cued to a promo I cut for 20th Century Fox International, 2005, I think. It's the rough cut, with me as the announcer, but it aired exactly as cut, but w/a pro VO. A Belgian series about Russian mobsters trafficking Lithuanian women/girls. I think it aired in English, Flemish, French and Russian! But never aired in the USA. Wasn't too good either, but certainly sordid - and timely, in a way, because of Epstein.

Martha, Assuming we have a future, better reread the article. I admit to not memorizing the Bible but did it say Armageddon would signal a second coming? That just doesn’t equate to the good news. Just an observation but dopey don already speaks in tongues so why hire the washed up hag to do it? I think she is saying ‘What the fuck is wrong with you dopey?’ How would we know for sure?

Frank Nuts's avatar

True Mark but it does seem to work for him. He never really gets busted for anything. It must be exhausting constantly trying to think up new fires to start while the last ones are still blazing. I guess that’s why he sleeps through all his meetings.

There’s got to be a good dominatrix out there with an acceptable ball gag that could slow him down long enough to bust him for all the crap he’s already done.

Here’s what I’m worried about — the day is coming soon when he will be nonverbal and drooling on his red tie and Big Mac and the red republicans will be demanding sympathy for his highness in his distressed state. And I will beg to disagree. Dog piling is in order. Scratch that — how bout some lion piling. Let’s plop him in the middle of a bunch of lions at the Bronx Zoo. We don’t even have to throw him in there— we’ll just put down cheeseburgers every 5 feet or so leading right through the open door of the lion exhibit and we’ll close the door behind him. We’ll sell in person tickets and we’ll sell world wide closed circuit viewing of the event. We could probably pay off the national debt that he’s been actively adding to.

At the very least, we’ll get rid of our acid indigestion.

So true Mary but instead of a pardon rubber stamp they need to take away the trump autopardon. He uses it on really bad criminals like himself. I think it makes him feel better about himself.

But you are right—even if we could convict him his enablers would pardon him. Even if he were to die he would be a martyr for his clowns.

That’s right Michael. All religions seem to think that only they have the golden ticket to heaven; and, unfortunately, many are willing to kill for it even if it violates their religious beliefs. They are very selective when it comes to their beliefs.

You know, I stopped using beliefs to guide my actions when I started getting knots on my head from believing my front door would open for me without my touching it if I just believed it would open for me; and, no one believed harder than me that it would open if I would just believe hard enough…

He kowtowed to Pooty

And slobbered his booty

Now Pooty is helping Iran

And Putin is laughing his head off to think how he played and played Donnie for a fool--which he is--and then Putin, still laughing, sticks a shiv in Donnie's back.

Well, conquering the USA is, and always has been, his goal.

Basic Ruskie foreign policy.

You’re right T L; but, you can’t say he didn’t have it coming (from a whole list of reasons)

T L Mills's avatar

Oh, no argument from me on that point! But Trump's blind stupidity is going to get our troops killed and I'm furious about that.

I’m with you Frosty; but no, not better than cats. You’ve gone too far

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I don't understand. How is Valentina Gomez not in Trump's Cabinet?

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

But Trump is the least racist person ever. He's told us so.

Well, there is that… men can be brown, but not women. And not too many men…

Not for lack of effort, apparently.

When Trump is gone, I don't care if it costs a zillion dollars, I want everything restored to the way it was at the White House. I want the cement torn out of the Rose garden. If he has started or finished his shitty dance hall, I want it torn down. I want the East Wing rebuilt to as close to what it was as is possible. All the little stuff, too. All the cheesy faux gold bullshit out of the Oval Office. Any pictures of trump burned. You get the drift. And I want them to take all the money to do that from the Trump family. Fuckers.

This is a stellar plan. I’m in.

Robin, I totally agree with you!!!

DebJS's avatar

Totally! It is what we need to be able to heal.

IIRC, in the Woody Allen movie "Sleeper" it was revealed that a thousand years in the future, there will be no record of Richard Nixon. If it's good enough for Nixon, it's good enough for Trump.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Well, there might be record of the first Nixon term, but his second term will be a mysterious, eighteen and a half month gap.

I don't mind the Lincoln bathroom being updated (it was 1940s/50s green), but the marble abattoir he turned it into needs to go.

Robin, get out of my head!

Let’s have a gigantic bonfire and call it Independence Day2!

Jeff -first and foremost, thank you!

While considering Noem's replacement -your articles provide clear evidence that the MAGA bench is deep with incompetents, sociopaths, and alcoholics. It's like replacing James Comer-Pyle with a bag of hammers.

While you continue to chronicle the deep well of swamp stupidity surrounding the war mongering criminal elect pedophile, we are at work trying to provide the antidote to our freefall into dystopia.

We have three (count them ... three!) -important projects in the public interest we are diligently focused on:

alonovo/linked trust: The system we are building connects everyday purchases to evidence-based data about companies regarding their labor practices, executive pay ratios, environmental impact, diversity policies, animal welfare, and supply chain standards. Our team recently added a mechanism to flag a company if they are actively collaborating with ICE. We've got a working prototype up at https://demos.linkedtrust.us/alonovo/ and aside from rapidly expanding the streams of trusted data, we have a significant innovation: a receipt to ESG report for consumers (the flow is defined at: https://civicworks.github.io/gapworks/alonovo/pipeline/) and the idea is to take something as simple as a photo of a shopping receipt, and provide very easy to understand ESG feedback of the overall shopping experience and each line item purchase. There have been many recent (and important) anecdotal boycott recommendations from large organizations like Indivisble, 50501, and calls for subscription cancellations from Scott Galloway. We're working as fast as possible to support such campaigns with objective evidence-based data from trusted sources.

The other two projects are:

Action Engine: a replacement for Mobilize.us/EveryAction after their acquisition by private equity -which you'll quickly recognize is a glaring privacy concern for any participant in No Kings, ICE, and other widespread opposition to cruel, abusive, and lawless attacks by the present Administration.

CivicSky Media: a decentralized hate-free platform intended to connect independent journalists and readers across networks such as Bluesky and Mastodon. Think of CivicSky as a replacement for Facebook, Substack, and Twitter. The long-term vision is a secure digital civic space where thoughtful and provocative articles and conversation can lead to civic action: economic actions, civic actions, and educational actions. This has been a long running project, initially envisioned as a “Facebook” alternative in the public interest. It is being completely redesigned to use the concept of decentralization which provides greater protection for authors, journalists, independent media, and subscribers.

Our explainer site is up at https://civ.works and more detail about the three core projects are at https://civ.works/projects.

It’s a mouthful, but thank you for your focus and diligence.

George A. Polisner's avatar

Thank you -and yes -a mouthful and more fun than a barrel of Cabinet members.

Sounds awesome George. I’ll have to check it out

Outta words here, homies. Thank goodness for y’all.

Me too. My brain has been shorting out over my reactions to the news. I'm going to sound as untethered as tRump if I type my current thoughts. 🤪🥴😵‍💫

Buh-bye Kristi, I wish you left sooner

And I hope your next posting is lunar

Umm, if they don't let Bessent in on the plans, how is he supposed to insider trade himself another $100M?!? DUH!

Lamorindalinda's avatar

From what i’ve heard, the GREAT & ACCEPTABLE leader they have “chosen” is the son of the ayatollah whom they just killed. Supposedly he is more vicious than his father. And you can imagine how angry and vindictive he will be at the country that killed his father. Buckle up people, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Iran has made a strategic move. It's being reported that they won't bomb countries that aren't being used as staging areas by the US.

HI2thDoc's avatar

American conservatives, and of course the dumbfuck lunatics of MAGA, fail to grasp that you can remove a dictator but it's always possible to get someone worse. How the hell can't they understand this?

Paula Dean's avatar

Especially since we have ample examples from recent history.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

Dang. I thought I read yesterday that the Evil Junior is NOT the one our own regime wants in power. It's getting increasingly difficult to weed out the dedicated independent journalists from the click bait bullshitters here. 🫤

Robert Eckert's avatar

The one our regime wanted was, ummm, killed by our regime.

Mike Hammer's avatar

So how is it that he lies through his teeth constantly yet he always tells us what he’s going to do.

Joyce's avatar

Because every time he's concentrating on delivering the latest line of bullshit, his cheese curd brain loses track of the narrative and he includes an accidental confession.
