***Some of Dumpy’s text on Biden during the SOTU - All Pure Projection!

"His hair is much better in the front than on the back!" LOL X 10

"He looks so angry when he’s talking, which is a trait of people who know they are 'losing it.' The anger and shouting is not helpful to bringing our Country back together!" [and] "He is so angry and crazy!" "This was an angry, polarizing, and hate-filled Speech."

"He wants to take away everyone’s gun. Remember that when you go to the Voting Booth, because if I’m not elected, your guns are GONE, along with your Freedom!"

This reminds me of the old joke about Melanoma telling Trump that she had dreamed of them riding in a motorcade through crowds of cheering people. Trump asked, “Was I smiling?” She replied, “I don’t know, it was closed casket.”

HA! We can only hope that dream of Melanoma’s comes SOON! Such a deranged douchebag!

Expand full comment

Yes please…that dream turns into reality like yesterday!

How about an amelanotic melanoma. One which has no pigment but equally as treacherous.

I’d be happy with a basic stroke😝nothing fancy…

LOL 😂

Expand full comment

All projection obviously. Trump talking about hair!!! What a scream!

Expand full comment

Yeah, really? Like he's a hair model?

Expand full comment

Meanwhile, back at the mirror, Trump:"mirror,mirror on the wall, who has the most beautifully arranged & styled fake hair of them all?

Mirror: falls to the floor with a loud thud and cracks in hundred pieces, "not you bozo and I am out of here. Oh, here's 7 years of bad luck...hahaha "

Now you need an HBO comedy special Hoyt.

Hoyt: my eternal gratitude for that old joke, which I hadn’t heard before, but which made me hysterical with laughter

I should have checked the derivation because it is obviously recycled.

I have an alternate reply from Melanoma: "I don't know. Your face was blown off." (Is that too hateful?)

Projection- the most suitable word.

More on “Fundie Mom Katie” ‘The bless your heart effect. The breathless speech, the incongruent facial movements and smiles. The cadence of condescension. I am better than you, and here are the ways. I have children. They are perfect. I have a marriage. It is perfect. I am pretty and well-educated. I am a Christian—I am god fearing and I prove it by holding hands with my family and praying for the rest of you. I am better than you.”

This is a great read. https://open.substack.com/pub/jesspiper/p/the-fundie-baby-voice?r=4a6z9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Expand full comment

Yes, it’s a great read. And the fact that the fundie baby voice is missing in women like Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris terrifies men.

Expand full comment

Not all men.

Expand full comment

Yes. Just the insecure, bad ones.

Expand full comment

No, certainly not all men!

Expand full comment

😉

Expand full comment

I prefer my voice like Elizabeth Holmes... Kidding 😋

Expand full comment

😘 Great reference 👍 she worked on that deep throat voice very carefully.

Actually she has been out of the news cycle for so long it took me a minute to visualize the face that went with that name.

Expand full comment

I remember, at a very young age, purposely making my voice sound deeper because those fundie voices grated on me, now I can identify it expeditiously! It is terrifying to watch these women, especially when they hold positions of great authority! In a world of Katie Britts, be a Katie Porter instead!

Expand full comment

And in a world of Kim Kardashians be a Taylor Swift.

Expand full comment

Katie losing was the pits. Glad about Chuck, so sad about her.

Expand full comment

I personally think she made a poor political move. She & Bass both, giving up their House seats to take on Schumer?! They really should have known he’s more well known & would have the DNC money behind him.

Why do they have to want MORE power? Why can’t they be happy being extremely effective Representatives in the House? I’m super sad that we won’t have Karen Bass & Katie Porter there fighting for us regular folks; & it doesn’t matter that I don’t live in CA

Expand full comment

Well said P.J., both will be a great loss and for what?

Expand full comment

I agree!

Expand full comment

Katie lost out to some former baseball jerk. I'm sad about that but the other guy is a Repuke so he will never win here in my state.

Expand full comment

Katie for Gov!

Expand full comment

I could get behind that. Newsom could run for President or be VP to Kamala Harris in 2028

Expand full comment

Dead on Hoyt! These people who give lip service to religion nauseate me .

One of Bill Clintons most prophetic lines about the cult of Q, "THIS IS WHO THEY ARE!"

Expand full comment

He got that right.

Expand full comment

Bill was one smart cookie, he was also a sex addict, but I don't hold that against him. His relationships at least, were consensual.

Expand full comment

It IS an excellent article.

Expand full comment

OMG! This essay is just perfect! I will now and forever be using the 'fundie' adjective to describe the sickening, baby voice, Duggar-women, deferential attitude that has always made me want to choke. Hillary doesn't have it, Nancy doesn't have it...Kay Ivey, as Taylor Swift calls her 'Trump with hair', does; Katie Britt does; Ivanka tries to speak that way as well. How any self-respecting woman can look in the mirror and say..."That's who I want to be"...or "that's who I want my daughter to be" is beyond me!

Expand full comment

Sadly it is an abuse 'tell' the beatings mostly stop when they learn to use it. see Shiney, Happy, People" the documentary about the Duggar upbringing in their church.

Expand full comment

Spot On.

Expand full comment

Jess’ post was brilliant! Thank you for posting the link.

Expand full comment

It blew me away!

Expand full comment

That's it!! Now I have a term for the type of voice that has made me run screaming. By the by, I've heard born again men using that same kind of sickening sweet fake voice. It's gross.

Expand full comment

Wow. That must be weird. Mike Johnson gives off a weird vibe, too.

Expand full comment

OMG of course we do, Stephanie, why hasn't anyone else mentioned that? I would say it is sexist but that irony may be too much to absorb.

Expand full comment

Their ignorance is mind boggling that anyone would think that this would work.

Expand full comment

Mike, unfortunately it does work to a certain extent. That’s why they do it.

It does seem though, that the facade is starting to crumble, and people like Katie Britt and Mike Johnson are, by their examples, scaring the crap out of more and more people. That process continues unabated, because their self righteous arrogance won’t allow them to see it.

Expand full comment

In re, to the power of these ppl & a pastor who is trying to bring them back to the true teachings of Jesus & away from the extreme Trumpist political involvement, I recommend the most recent episode of the podcast

Why Is This Happening with Christian’s Hayes March 12 - Confronting Christian Nationalism with pastor Doug Pagitt. It actually made me hopeful that some of them can be pulled back off the ledge. Just an excellent conversation

Ah, you caught it, too. We must have just crossed paths.

Jess Piper is wonderful. I have been following her for about 2 years.

After that intro, I plan to sign up. She is good.

I follow her on X (Shitter)

I do too and I also call it Xitter, pronounced Shitter

Yes, just like we pronounce the Chinese president Xi 😉

She posts on Theeads & X also. Her short vids there about vouchers programs are great

Isn’t it great that this stuff is bringing us all together. Someone else directed me to Jess Piper this morning and her take is spot on. Just as yours is, Hoyt.

Expand full comment

Katherine, thanks, that is what I love about Jeff's site, a real community, I belong to a couple others, and a fellow subscriber of Substack, "The Message Box" by Dan Phifer, sent me Jess's article first thing this morning and I was just blown away.

Heather Cox Richardson also linked it at the bottom of her substack on the SOTU.

Yep, finally got around to HCR and saw it there too. It needs to be included in all church bulletins.

She's my home-girl (Maine). And I think I'm distantly related to her significant other.

I read the article Hoyt suggested. Being from NJ I have never been exposed to this type of behavior before. Who the fuck are these people??!!!

Expand full comment

Patriarchal religious fanatics, and bible beating literalists.

Expand full comment

Great article, so on point. I could only listen to about 5 minutes of Katie Britt and had to cut her off…couldn’t take it. This article helped me understand why!

Expand full comment

SNL did their usual brilliant job on her last night, just watched it and had many good laughs from a very scary lady.

Expand full comment

Very interesting

Expand full comment

We DO hate other women…who lie, are stupid, don’t listen, don’t read, vote republican even though they can’t express why (goes for men too…).

And GAG—-seeing trumpy dance makes me want to vomit…who the HELL can look at that and think it is cool?!?! What a lovely round up today! Have a nice Saturday-for sure we will see more stupid soon!!!

Over the next eight months does anyone believe trump will improve. Before November he’ll be naked in his own feces barking at the moon.

We can hope 🙏🏽

I think that would be the only thing that might work. Nudity really freaks them out.

Expand full comment

Donnie Dick-wad gets worse every week. The fact that his breakdown isn't being reported on seriously as a 5-alarm national disaster-in-the making is a travesty. His breakdown is being shown as if it's entertainment. What happens if God-forbid, he actually gets back in the WH? I don't think he can function, so who will actually be pulling the strings? The so-called press needs to wake up!

Expand full comment

Deb, you are preaching to the choir. 240 days till the election is a lifetime. especially since between now and then we go from a 30% informed electorate to a fully informed electorate (another 100,000,000 including kids will not even know there is an election). Bidens team has every day mapped out as close as possible for the campaign at this point which will have to be balanced with his day job as President from now until November 5, 2024....the day of reckoning. Bidens campaign is well aware by now they cannot depend on the media for a fair shake. There are all kinds of media, so much of that will be negated. And who knows what happens to t with all that baggage he will have to drag until November , getting heavier every day. And if he does get back in, he will be pulling every single damn string he can to destroy the country and anyone that stands in his way. But never forget he is a loser in hundreds if not thousands of ways before he even begins the campaign and "losers never prosper and losers never win"

Expand full comment

Hoyt, I keep hoping that the America that Biden believes we are is the Real America. I think that's what made me feel so good about the speech. Starting Thursday, I started to see things the way President Biden did, and I am hopeful that enough voters in the country will as well.

To the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States of America—-

MAY GOD DAMN ALL OF YOU WHO VOTED TO INTENTIONALLY DELAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM HOLDING TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE!

Every SC Justice damn well knows that, if Trump is elected President, his “DAY ONE” official actions will include:

- the immediate firing of the Attorney General of the United States

- the immediate firing of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith

- the immediate issuance of instructions to the temporary head of the DOJ to immediately cancel all of the indictments/charges against him

JUSTICES, it is your job to ensure that NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. It is your job to ensure that no person in America is allowed to escape accountability for crimes committed against the American People.

If, because of your negligence or political beliefs, you enable Trump to escape accountability, we promise you that we the people will hold EACH of YOU accountable!

Trump keeps doing that stupid dance despite everyone thinking it looks like he’s pleasuring 2 guys. How fucking lame.

Expand full comment

That's him Mike. He thinks he is mr. cool dude.

Expand full comment

That alpha male is going to get blue balls and not from lack of sex (though that’s probable as well); he’ll be visiting the ER when his junk swells up from that lock.

In addition to Nazis being rude, crude and socially unacceptable, there’s a serious lack of situational awareness. And stupidity, can’t ever forget stupidity

Based on that dance video, Trump has to have a 50-inch waist—that's the healthiest chunk of abdominal fat in world history!

It’s biggest and most healthy bigness. But Biden shuffles and isn’t t healthy. By the way he has peripheral neuropathy in feet so it makes it hard to feel the floor, etc and causes a shuffle. This is not death-adjacent condition.

What was with lamestream media making FUN of Joe speaking with force and volume? Last week is had a geriatric whisper and no affect.

He can’t get a break

You know, yesterday was the first day in what feels like years that I didn’t wake up with a feeling of acid burning in my belly. Yesterday and today, I awoke with hope. Not only from Joe’s rocket to the moon and back awesome speech, but also from the sheer pleasure of witnessing the ReTHUGs getting it wrong every time. They are in full grave digging mode for their party and I am so UP for it. The ChristoFascists are going down. Thank the Buddha!

Expand full comment

Britt was definitely the lowlight of the SOTU goings on while we were all thrilled and renewed by every single thing from Biden. Stutter a little bit? He's been doing that for decades and has been an inspiration to everybody who stutters. Recoil from MTG? Why haven't many more actually done that. All humans should recoil from this self-generating negative ghettoblaster mouth of hers. She actually even looked a little uncomfortable, you know, like she wore rags to a fancy formal event she was invited to. I should think Republicans would be very careful calling anyone among their ranks "a rising star." Last rising star they put on the chopping block was Bobby Jindal. Anybody remember him? Which makes me question why the hell do I have ties to both Alabama and Louisianan. The Republicans have been busy since Thursday night when they showed their really bad manners and all their false accusations of the state of all things Joe Biden. Fuck all of y'all. I hope you rot in Siberia somewhere as you kill off your party. And I see in spite of his claims, Trump has not lost weight. He's only moved his waistline higher. Should someone tell him that's not working? On second thought, let's just point and laugh.

I am surprised one of you picked up on Trump and surrogates whining about how loud and forceful Biden. Thanks lame stream media; what is “strong end energetic”

in Trump is a deficit for Biden

I made a real effort to avoid what we knew they would say and knew it would be more projection coming from them.

Jon Stewart used to do a routine where the repubs would slam Obama for like using a teleprompter (as all speakers do, and have since they were invented)saying things like "he loves it so much he probably sleeps with it.". Then turn around and praise trump for using a teleprompter, ("Presidential!") Starts @ 5:09 but I recommend the whole thing.
