for me, the perfect 'week in stupid' entry is both stupid and buffoonish, like the South Dakota Rep who actually believes that Mount Rushmore is a portal for communism-spreading demons.
I shit you not, that was a 'week in stupid' item from July 1, 2023.
We're still missing one horseman of the apocalypse. STUPID, BUFFOONISH, EVIL, AND APPALLING. I can hear the hooves of apocalyptic morons clamoring to Monterey where witches need wrangling!
The appalling horseman is Kid Crock especially after he showed up on 19th Century Fox last night whining about his 62 year old wrinkled self can't pick up college age girls...
"Kid Crock especially after he showed up on 19th Century Fox last night whining about his 62 year old wrinkled self can't pick up college age girls..."
Well, he's resentful 82-year old Mick Jagger still can.
lol. Idiot didn’t even get the city right and it’s never been Lovers of Jesus Point—that’s an urban legend. Anyway, if it keeps him away from us, we’ll go along with the stupidity.
“The original name for Lovers Point was Lovers of Jesus Point, given to the area in 1875 when it was established as a Christian seaside resort for the Methodist Episcopal Church. The name was later shortened to "Lovers Point" over time, reflecting the location's long-standing association with the retreat, notes the Monterey County Historical Society and Monterey Peninsula Glossary. “
I will forever be grateful to you for continuing to use the gif of Kegsbreath. I laugh every single time. 😂 And regarding Kim Robinson, she is MORE proof that organized religion is the foundation for our problems. People just cant be kind and decent...they have to add all their weird ass voodoo. UGH.
Robinson is going to be disappointed when he meets Charlie in hell, since both violated Jesus' main message: to love everyone and to act on that love in your life — feed the hungry, clothe the naked, comfort the sick, welcome the stranger etc etc.
She has a regular sit down with god? Right, she needs to be locked away in an insane asylum. Tell her she is in the land of cotton candy clouds and unicorns! Where do these people come from??
Didn't ck have a lot of money? Doesn't that disqualify him from being in heaven and the company of Jesus? At least according to the King James Bible I have...
I had to look up Kat Kerr. She's worth millions, proving once again there's a sucker born every minute. Nice pink hair for a woman in her 70's??? Good grief!
My church is great. I joined because a colleague at work told me it was a "peace and justice" church and it is! I'm part of a farm team that grows organic produce in the inner city to feed people there. We have a very active social justice ministry working on issues such as homelessness, human trafficking and over incarceration, and a very active LGBTQ+ ministry. Both our associate priests are lesbians and our head priest has a nonbinary child.
Jeff, I will never understand, in a million years, for TEN years now, how every single reporter, and frankly how every single politician, business leader, religious leader, educational leader, and all the rest, have not asked your “what the f____ question over and over and over again. The failure to do so, and follow up relentlessly on that question, and expose the insanity and inanity that is DJT are to our everlasting shame and now our destruction. Listening to him and following him and yes voting for him, has gone from just wrong and misguided and perhaps ignorant (2016), to horrifying and immoral and craven and cruel(2020) to outright lunacy and insanity and evil(2024). Welcome to the hell hole that is the 2025 USA. We have met the enemy, and he is US. My 72 years of living did not prepare me for national suicide……. I still cannot believe it. I wake up every morning for almost ten years now, and ask, when will the adults in the room show up and rid us of this cancer? Not yet………
I heard Tim Miller of the Bulwark interview Jake Tapper, who will soon work for Bari Weiss. Jake Tapper said its important to report both sides in journalism. Its all about access. Fuck that.
Once again, dear Jeff, you outdid yourself with this post. Couldn’t stop laughing at your take on this administration’s circus of horrors. We all thank you for these brief moments when we stop crying.
The Right still does because they want to destroy Joe Biden...still.
Geez, it's not like he's Hillary Rodham Clinton, who gave us President Donald Trump rather than President Bernie Sanders, and thus is DESERVING of it...!
Then he's not a journalist either until he goes on the Eric/Don Jr grift hunt and devotes, say, ten times more coverage (PROMINENT) coverage to their corruption and conflicts of interest.
I listen to the Bulwark almost daily and I couldn’t listen to the idiotic and fucked up Jake Tapper interview. What was Tim thinking? Jake Tapper IS the problem. And he is NOT going to ever ask an actual question or probe Donald Trump ever. Because Jake has sunk to his knees. He’s still talking about Joe Biden.
You can do that much better without "access." With "access" you just report what they want you to know. And unless he comes out with a book about Trump's cognitive decline and how his people are covering it up before the end of the year, Jake Tapper should be mocked whenever he tries to call himself a "journalist" because he's not. He's just a water carrier for people in power who curry his favor.
I can usually take Tim Miller, NOW, even though he lets that old-school repug shit slip through sometimes (how any gay man can be conservative is another one of those why questions). Did he bother to ask Tapper (whom I NEVER watch) why the fuck he's not also rabidly covering The Orange Fascist's obvious health decline by any chance?
That is the ONLY question he should be asking. And until Tapper comes up with a credible answer (he can't) he shouldn't be called a journalist. Tapper did a book event this week at a library here and I noticed it revolved around an old book of limited interest, not his Biden one, so I guess he's too scared to talk about it because he knows he screwed up in most people's eyes.
I know people who are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. People often grow up thinking all Democrats are Jane Fonda, Jessie Jackson and Jill Stein. So they prefer traditional candidates, i.e. Republicans. But a lot of Republicans don't like the far right and corrupt tendencies of the current Republican Party.
Hasn't that "socially liberal/fiscally conservative" thing been debunked for 30 years? Clinton brought down the deficit; Bush exploded it. Same with Obama/Biden and Trump. Republicans spent us into disaster. The idea that Republicans are "fiscally conservative" seems to me based on the idea that they cut spending for the people racists consider "undeserving." Because as we see right now, Republicans are so fiscally reckless they're driving the country into economic ruin.
Yes, there Is no longer a republican party outside of the christofascist oligarchs and their minions. They've been planning this since Reagan. Oh and the R party is chock full of gay men--they just stay closeted to fleece the fucking sheep. So to speak. I'm a 2nd wave feminist from the 70s, so you can imagine how much I love having to live through this again.
That would be me. "Waste not, want not" was my family's motto. Spend money to get benefits that will reduce spending down the line. For example, keep infrastructure in repair, so it doesn't fall apart and cost more to rebuild. It's common sense for anyone with a brain who understands consequences (apparently no one in red states.)
And to think, it's been 10 fucking years of this pos in our lives, and we had another president in between, that no one seems to remember. The D never left us so we could enjoy a sane presidency and for that, I hope he continues to rot in real time.
Ten fucking years of accelerating chronic stress has taken a huge psychic toll. Some days are filled with "why bother." But then I hear the memory of my mother's voice, "We soldier on." Proud Roosevelt Democrat, her ashes are churning in their urn.
And his policies are shit for the middle class. The Republicans always touted 2 things. Traditional values, ie Values voters who hated gay people and rap music. And economic conservatives who wanted a good economy. Trump has provided neither. He uses his position to manipulate the market and threaten wealthy people to pay him bribes. And he does it openly. And he has bern convicted of rape and is hiding the Epstein files.
Any "economic conservative" who has stayed with the GOP after the last 30 years is using that as a cover for something else. We haven't seen fiscal responsibility from the GOP in decades.
Touche! Just most recently the cabinet meeting where wormbrain has connected circumcision to autism, our AG is going to remove, brick by brick and will find the Antifa terrorists and arrest them. Our in house puppy killer has arrested the girlfriend of the founder of antifa and not one journalist or another cabinet member had the guts or balls to say “what? What are you talking about.” They all just write their notes, nod their heads in agreement and carry on. Nothing to see here but lies, bs, unsubstantiated tongue wagging and conspiracy theories. Not one person said “what the fuck . . . “. Not one. 🥵😟😩
They’re all liars. Breathe in and lie out. Girlfriend of Antifa founder. What shit. RFK2 is insane. The US is a sitting duck now for every bad actor in the world.
Nobody's asking that because trump'll bar them and their entire news organization from the briefing room--forever. I would have a difficult time not laughing out loud at his batshit crazy rantings. But if he insulted me, as he is wont to do to female journalists, I'd have a hard time holding back from saying, "WHAT the FUCK did you just say to me??!"
You know it, Rick. We have to redefine & assert what adult behavior is. These twisted little shits have flipped every principle of a healthy society, celebrating lying, cheating, abuse & rigging the game. That's not how life WORKS. We can't let them be in positions of power & authority, it's like letting hopped up toddlers drive a bus...suicide. It's not funny! We need seriousness, honesty, & leadership, not reckless, stupid antics.
Are we REALLY supposed to believe that Donnie Dump wrote all of that about Xi?? Using complete sentences and using words like "specifity"??? C'mon, Vampire Miller!
Oh, he probably wrote some of it. There's still his signature tic of capitalizing random words that don't need it. It's like someone once told him nouns are capitalized and he thought it meant every single noun, not just proper names. There's no reason to capitalize "world" or "countries" or "trade. Of course, it does surprise me that he realizes that those words are nouns. Unless, as you say, someone else wrote it and tried to make it look like his stock in trade verbal diarrhea.
He doesn’t have the capacity to write such a long tweet or the ability to stay on subject either. Probably starts , Then someone has to make sense of his gibberish. Just like the “ Art of the Steal “.
I just wrote the same comment Donna. There is not way Trump wrote that post. Yes, complete sentences, no caps, and using words that are outside of his limited vocabulary!
This fucking regime is jeopardizing our national security in unprecedented ways. Sec of “War” with a drinking problem. Russian asset as DNI. Qatari military presence on US soil. Now an unqualified whack job as Undersecretary of the Navy. Despite all the posturing and chest pounding, MAGA is above all a movement of TRAITORS.
Some of the bullshit religious narrative described here reminds me of the t-shirt being worn by one of the New York Yankees when trump was invited into their fascist-supporting locker room: "Jesus Won" was plastered on the t-shirt.
Meanwhile, the entire team, or almost the entire team (?), stood around trump like one of his propaganda rally photos -- all with big grins and smirks on their faces, with the guy with the t-shirt standing right next to trump, and even Aaron Judge right there yukking it up with the rest of them.
It was an absolute pleasure watching a Canadian team kick their asses and eliminate them from the playoffs. Must've hurt a lot more that they were Canadian. Because in this weird timeline, the U.S. is suddenly not friends with Canadians, and we need to boo their national anthem at Yankee Stadium, etc.
Guess what! The Blue Angels won't be at Fleet Week in San Francisco this week because of the government shutdown....So the Canadian Snowbirds came to the rescue and are filling in to put on the air show. For extra fun, the Colombian Navy is cruising in with a tall ship. Hopefully, Stephen Miller won't try to blow it up.
I am a Canadian ‘appreciator’ but that anthem is way too long, it puts people that are excited to watch a fight at a hockey game to sleep, not an easy task. I kid the Canucks but they are the neighbor of the great North our friends, repairs are needed but now they know the REAL USA so they might hate us forever, couldn’t blame them for that.
Well, not to be a contrarian, but are all the players on the Blue Jays Canadian? Americans getting their asses kicked by a Canadian hockey team is even better. Much more likely to have a higher percentage of actual Canadians on the team.
Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the Blue Jays are maga, too, and probably many or all of the other baseball teams. There's no escaping it. But the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers were probably the most visibly supportive of the orange buffoon.
(On the same day that the Yankees invited trump into their locker room, a few of the Tigers did the 'trump dance' after getting base hits, and during the season you could detect a few fascist dog whistles here and there. Meanwhile, Colin Kaepernick was disappeared from his sport many years ago for being concerned about police brutality and gun violence. Politics for me, and not for thee.)
That crashing of the stock market is a scam he has been pulling since his first term. The market trades up and Trump tells his friends and family to sell and then makes a stupid remark that causes the market to crash. They buy back at a much lower price to close their short position at a profit. It infuriates me because its such blatent market manipulation. And small traders are of out luck.
Me too! I was very small stock option trader. And I counted on a stable market to make a small profit. When he got elected the first time, after getting creamed a couple of times because of his stock manipulation, I had to quit. Then he got elected again and it happened again.
Charlie loves horses. Is he now the proud sponsor of CharlieHorse(tm), your worst pain you’ll ever get in the lower half of your body short of sawing your leg off with a chainsaw to see if it hurts? (Bonus if you die, you go to heaven and Jesus gives you a ranch with chainsaws and trees and no limbs on your eternal body so all you can do is lay there and look at all those fucking trees! Oh wait, that would be hell.)
Charlie getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom…. Charlie has a horse ranch in heaven… Charlie and Jesus riding horses together in heaven. WITAF are these people talking about? Who is their audience? Looking at all these statements about the deceased I have the feeling it is one giant grift… 1. Make money off the rubes 2. Portraying the deceased as some sort of deity so folks will begin to worship him as demonstrated by these huge college rallies that are more like a mega church experience… 🤮🤡
Cao sounds like he's been watching too many Korean horror films with bad English-speaking voice overs. And Trump deserves the NoBalls Piss Prize. Peel some of that gold filigree crud off the wall and hang it around his neck.
Trump will go to war with Venezuela before he will allow the Epstein files to be released.
Trump Will declare martial law and murder Americans before he will allow the Epstein files to be released.
This is it people. He will not allow their release. He will not survive politically or legally if he does. He will do ANYTHNG to keep them secret - anything! - there must be photos, videos, receipts, evidence of money laundering, racketeering, and domestic and international sex trafficking for him to be this desperate.
But Congress cannot stay out indefinitely and so he is trapped, desperate, and capable of anything.
This is coming to a head this month I think.
My guess? Oct 18, no kings day protests, will be called an insurrection and he will try to impose martial law. That or he will declare all drug dealers narcoterrorists and declare martial law.
Naw - Johnson wouldn't be so desperate to keep the files from being released as to shutdown the government if the files were not intact and devastating
I think we need to count on the bravery of those legions of victims and their willingness to release documentation they’ve no doubt hoarded, despite likely death threats.
for me, the perfect 'week in stupid' entry is both stupid and buffoonish, like the South Dakota Rep who actually believes that Mount Rushmore is a portal for communism-spreading demons.
I shit you not, that was a 'week in stupid' item from July 1, 2023.
https://www.jefftiedrich.com/i/130837879/tuesday-the-mystery-of-where-commies-come-from-solved
unfortunately, since the election, 'stupid and buffoonish' has been replaced by 'stupid and evil,' which is a lot less fun to write about.
c'est la vie
I will posit that stupid, buffoonish and evil can co-exist. We are unfortunate witnesses to all three.
We're still missing one horseman of the apocalypse. STUPID, BUFFOONISH, EVIL, AND APPALLING. I can hear the hooves of apocalyptic morons clamoring to Monterey where witches need wrangling!

"Kid Crock especially after he showed up on 19th Century Fox last night whining about his 62 year old wrinkled self can't pick up college age girls..."
Well, he's resentful 82-year old Mick Jagger still can.
He’s failing the basic tenet* of pick up, as illustrated in this educational film starring Tom Brady and produced by that venerable institution- SNL:

Ewww.
Double EWWW!!!
I’m sure Coach Bell-a-chick can offer pointers.
lol. Idiot didn’t even get the city right and it’s never been Lovers of Jesus Point—that’s an urban legend. Anyway, if it keeps him away from us, we’ll go along with the stupidity.
Wasn't that some cult's name for it? But never an official name.
No. Guessing something a minister who used the cove for baptisms used. No cults around here that I’ve heard of—only Christians and Hippies.
It’s an old name.
“The original name for Lovers Point was Lovers of Jesus Point, given to the area in 1875 when it was established as a Christian seaside resort for the Methodist Episcopal Church. The name was later shortened to "Lovers Point" over time, reflecting the location's long-standing association with the retreat, notes the Monterey County Historical Society and Monterey Peninsula Glossary. “
Is that horseman in the room with us right now?
Yes.
Eric Schmit of Missouri can ride two of those horses: Evil and Appalling.
Yeah, I was thinking Ken Paxton, but Schmit is awful. There are so many of these gargoyles.
Damn straight Kay-EI!
She should read about the sculptor. Borglum. She would probably like him
And I love that you do it. It keeps me going and adds some levity and fun to the shitshow that continues to unfold on the daily.
I will forever be grateful to you for continuing to use the gif of Kegsbreath. I laugh every single time. 😂 And regarding Kim Robinson, she is MORE proof that organized religion is the foundation for our problems. People just cant be kind and decent...they have to add all their weird ass voodoo. UGH.
Have a tolerable weekend, everyone. ✌️
Robinson and now Hung Cao embody how crazy religious nuts can be
Proof that there are more nuts in any megachurch on any Sunday than you will find in a 5 pound can from Planters!
😂😂😂
🤭🤭🤭
Seems that both of them may have stopped their psych meds. 😵💫😵💫
They don't take meds. They pray the devil away.
Well their prayers ain’t workin!
Ha ha. Of course not.
And they do a very bad job of it.
Or..they bot are smoking some really potent drugs..either way! This is not normal!
┗(•ˇ_ˇ•)―→One of them is the Undersecretary of the Navy! {head in my hands}
Hung Cao - DEI hire? I thought cankles got rid of that.
Like everything in this Administration, it’s do as I say, ignore what I do.
Mushroom sucker/ taint kisser/ boot licker is the only qualification. If the MAGA is a minority of some sort, that's a yoooge bonus for cankles.
But a least Donald hasn’t given Kim an appointment in his “administration.” YET.
Robinson is going to be disappointed when he meets Charlie in hell, since both violated Jesus' main message: to love everyone and to act on that love in your life — feed the hungry, clothe the naked, comfort the sick, welcome the stranger etc etc.
She has a regular sit down with god? Right, she needs to be locked away in an insane asylum. Tell her she is in the land of cotton candy clouds and unicorns! Where do these people come from??
Hillbillies R Us
Sounds like she's on an LSD trip, like Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Have a sublimely fucking awesome weekend Susan, and everyone here!
Bsolutrly love the Kegsbreath and his skateboard 🤣🤣🤣
Might be the best gif ever. HAHA! He thinks he’s so macho. Pfft.. 🙄
Yep
He’s a joke.
He needs to be gifted with a multitude of used skateboards.
But don't give him any more axes
But the recoil possibilities are so fun!
Absolutely...sorry for mispelling
It was fun how you spelled it! LOL!
Don’t worry about it Terry. It just makes you one of the universal fat thumb crowd. Or no correct AI victims.
Christians—People Who Can't Be Trusted to be Moral Without the Threat of Horrible Retribution from Some Big Dude In The Sky if They're Not....
...and Usually, Not Even Then!
Kim Robinson is proof that you shouldn't piss off the gays.
WTF is that haircut?
Didn't ck have a lot of money? Doesn't that disqualify him from being in heaven and the company of Jesus? At least according to the King James Bible I have...
Yep. " 'Tis easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." --Matthew, 19:24
So funny how the conservative Xtians never seem to remember this
No, HAVING money doesn't disqualify you — the LOVE of money does. It depends what you do with it.
Who's more of a Christian whacko--Kim Robinson or Kat Kerr?????
I had to look up Kat Kerr. She's worth millions, proving once again there's a sucker born every minute. Nice pink hair for a woman in her 70's??? Good grief!
'Nother example of money don't equal good taste.

I sense a new Bravo series!

I heard Tim Miller of the Bulwark interview Jake Tapper, who will soon work for Bari Weiss. Jake Tapper said its important to report both sides in journalism. Its all about access. Fuck that.
Meanwhile Peter Baker at the Screw York Times is still on the Hunter Biden Penis Hunt.
Once again, dear Jeff, you outdid yourself with this post. Couldn’t stop laughing at your take on this administration’s circus of horrors. We all thank you for these brief moments when we stop crying.
What! Does anyone care about Hunter Biden?
The Right still does because they want to destroy Joe Biden...still.
Geez, it's not like he's Hillary Rodham Clinton, who gave us President Donald Trump rather than President Bernie Sanders, and thus is DESERVING of it...!
BRAVO, DR Darke!
Then he's not a journalist either until he goes on the Eric/Don Jr grift hunt and devotes, say, ten times more coverage (PROMINENT) coverage to their corruption and conflicts of interest.
That’s not journalism 🤬🥴😖😳😡🫥🤡
That’s Tapper actively gaslighting
Yes. That's where we are now.
I listen to the Bulwark almost daily and I couldn’t listen to the idiotic and fucked up Jake Tapper interview. What was Tim thinking? Jake Tapper IS the problem. And he is NOT going to ever ask an actual question or probe Donald Trump ever. Because Jake has sunk to his knees. He’s still talking about Joe Biden.
Towards the end of the interview, Tim was asking hard questions and challenging his answers.
You can do that much better without "access." With "access" you just report what they want you to know.

It wasn't worth the $30 or whatever it was that tickets cost.

I think Eisenhower was the last (only) one.
Touche! Just most recently the cabinet meeting where wormbrain has connected circumcision to autism, our AG is going to remove, brick by brick and will find the Antifa terrorists and arrest them. Our in house puppy killer has arrested the girlfriend of the founder of antifa and not one journalist or another cabinet member had the guts or balls to say “what?

They’re all liars. Breathe in and lie out. Girlfriend of Antifa founder. What shit. RFK2 is insane. The US is a sitting duck now for every bad actor in the world.
Corporate Media, if it was ever willing to question "official narratives", has utterly stopped doing that now.
There is no founder of antifa. I don't know who she arrested, but antifa was never an organization or had any leadership. Has she named this "leader"?
Nobody's asking that because trump'll bar them and their entire news organization from the briefing room--forever. I would have a difficult time not laughing out loud at his batshit crazy rantings. But if he insulted me, as he is wont to do to female journalists, I'd have a hard time holding back from saying, "WHAT the FUCK did you just say to me??!"
Rick A. Spot on! National suicide of our democracy. If only there were a hotline for help. Oh wait! It's Jeff T.!
A large swath of our electorate have been gerrymandered while we were asleep.
Right there with ya!
I'm *only* 66 but I feel exactly the same way.
Just think how we 75s and older feel...
Same here but at this point he’s just a somewhat useful idiot!
You know it, Rick. We have to redefine & assert what adult behavior is. These twisted little shits have flipped every principle of a healthy society, celebrating lying, cheating, abuse & rigging the game. That's not how life WORKS. We can't let them be in positions of power & authority, it's like letting hopped up toddlers drive a bus...suicide. It's not funny! We need seriousness, honesty, & leadership, not reckless, stupid antics.
If our country survives this, the Republican Party is toast. We'll have the conservative Democrats and the Green Party as the two major parties.
Thanks for your lucid description of our he’ll on earth.
There will be no hero.

Oh, he probably wrote some of it. There's still his signature tic of capitalizing random words that don't need it.

They deliberately throw a few grammatical mistakes to legitimize the content and try to fool us.
I agree with you. I don’t think “his heinous” has the energy to engage. He takes a snooze even when standing up at a press conference.
By now, Cheung and Lie-vitt have an AI program to spew out TrumpSpeak.
He doesn’t have the capacity to write such a long tweet or the ability to stay on subject either. Probably starts , Then someone has to make sense of his gibberish. Just like the “ Art of the Steal “.
Whoever (whomever) writes them knows how to copy his unhinged style. Not at all difficult.
Yes and no. Whoever is writing the posts uses complete sentences and proper grammar and punctuation, both of which are totally unlike him.
Bingo on your last sentence.
I just wrote the same comment Donna. There is not way Trump wrote that post. Yes, complete sentences, no caps, and using words that are outside of his limited vocabulary!
Good on ya for reading the whole thing. I kept rolling my eyes so hard I feared they’d stick up there, so I stopped. 👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣
＼(￣▽￣)／
Ha! Same, Susie! Same!
I had to quit reading due to the usual migraine I get when trying to parse anything trumpian.
No. He stopped writing posts some time ago.
This fucking regime is jeopardizing our national security in unprecedented ways. Sec of “War” with a drinking problem. Russian asset as DNI. Qatari military presence on US soil. Now an unqualified whack job as Undersecretary of the Navy. Despite all the posturing and chest pounding, MAGA is above all a movement of TRAITORS.
MAGA is a coup d'etat by riff raff and rabid morons, manipulated by oligarchs. And it all happened as easily as spreading butter on toast.
With much enabling by the corrupt Roberts Court.
Brilliant Sharon! “Coup d’etat by riff raff” …and all were given pardons by Donny Dachau.
Absolutely no checks and balances on anything anymore.
and not one reporter stood up and asked ‘what the fuck is wrong with you? because journalism…
... is dead.
The DC Press Corpse is totally useless.
PRESS CORPSE 💀
malevolent even.
Some of the bullshit religious narrative described here reminds me of the t-shirt being worn by one of the New York Yankees when trump was invited into their fascist-supporting locker room: "Jesus Won" was plastered on the t-shirt.
Meanwhile, the entire team, or almost the entire team (?), stood around trump like one of his propaganda rally photos -- all with big grins and smirks on their faces, with the guy with the t-shirt standing right next to trump, and even Aaron Judge right there yukking it up with the rest of them.
It was an absolute pleasure watching a Canadian team kick their asses and eliminate them from the playoffs. Must've hurt a lot more that they were Canadian. Because in this weird timeline, the U.S. is suddenly not friends with Canadians, and we need to boo their national anthem at Yankee Stadium, etc.
A little venting today.
Guess what! The Blue Angels won't be at Fleet Week in San Francisco this week because of the government shutdown....So the Canadian Snowbirds came to the rescue and are filling in to put on the air show. For extra fun, the Colombian Navy is cruising in with a tall ship. Hopefully, Stephen Miller won't try to blow it up.

I am a Canadian ‘appreciator’ but that anthem is way too long, it puts people that are excited to watch a fight at a hockey game to sleep, not an easy task. I kid the Canucks but they are the neighbor of the great North our friends, repairs are needed but now they know the REAL USA so they might hate us forever, couldn’t blame them for that.
i also cheered the birds beating the evil empire for the same reasons and i hope they take the WS too.
Well, not to be a contrarian, but are all the players on the Blue Jays Canadian? Americans getting their asses kicked by a Canadian hockey team is even better. Much more likely to have a higher percentage of actual Canadians on the team.
Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the Blue Jays are maga, too, and probably many or all of the other baseball teams. There's no escaping it. But the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers were probably the most visibly supportive of the orange buffoon.
(On the same day that the Yankees invited trump into their locker room, a few of the Tigers did the 'trump dance' after getting base hits, and during the season you could detect a few fascist dog whistles here and there. Meanwhile, Colin Kaepernick was disappeared from his sport many years ago for being concerned about police brutality and gun violence. Politics for me, and not for thee.)
Not once was the Merican athem booed at the Blue Jays games.
Vent on !!!
Melania had to explain to Cankles that the Nobel is for peace, not pedos.
That long post of Trump’s is filled with big words and correct spelling---no way in hell he wrote that.
He could not stay awake long enough to dictate that.
That crashing of the stock market is a scam he has been pulling since his first term. The market trades up and Trump tells his friends and family to sell and then makes a stupid remark that causes the market to crash. They buy back at a much lower price to close their short position at a profit. It infuriates me because its such blatent market manipulation. And small traders are of out luck.
As a small trader, that's why I pulled out of the GOP stock market when he got re-elected. I couldn't stand the chaos that I knew would be coming.
Me too! I was very small stock option trader. And I counted on a stable market to make a small profit. When he got elected the first time, after getting creamed a couple of times because of his stock manipulation, I had to quit. Then he got elected again and it happened again.
So did I. Cashed in my ( small ) IRA. I’m not market savvy , but the money in my account isn’t going down the toilet.
Me too
Charlie loves horses. Is he now the proud sponsor of CharlieHorse(tm), your worst pain you’ll ever get in the lower half of your body short of sawing your leg off with a chainsaw to see if it hurts? (Bonus if you die, you go to heaven and Jesus gives you a ranch with chainsaws and trees and no limbs on your eternal body so all you can do is lay there and look at all those fucking trees! Oh wait, that would be hell.)
Haha, not to detract from the strength of your comment, which is a good one, but for males there is a greater lower body pain possible
Cue Kegsbreath and the skateboard😂🤣
Rick, hahaha haha!!
Charlie getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom…. Charlie has a horse ranch in heaven… Charlie and Jesus riding horses together in heaven. WITAF are these people talking about? Who is their audience? Looking at all these statements about the deceased I have the feeling it is one giant grift… 1. Make money off the rubes 2. Portraying the deceased as some sort of deity so folks will begin to worship him as demonstrated by these huge college rallies that are more like a mega church experience… 🤮🤡
It works with MAGA Xtians. Kirk’s widow has reported collected “$4.7 million through Tucker Carlson’s ALP tobacco pouches company.”
H12, is that a real thing the tobacco pouches it’s just odd enough to be true for him.
I think that every recipient of the Medal of Freedom should do a John Lennon on this one and send it back in protest. (looking at you, Bob)
1. Cao doesn’t want people, he wants zombies
2. We all know Trump is in a funk of his own making because he couldn’t get another gold doo-dad
Cao sounds like he's been watching too many Korean horror films with bad English-speaking voice overs. And Trump deserves the NoBalls Piss Prize. Peel some of that gold filigree crud off the wall and hang it around his neck.
Like a gold plated albatross
Trump will go to war with Venezuela before he will allow the Epstein files to be released.
Trump Will declare martial law and murder Americans before he will allow the Epstein files to be released.
This is it people. He will not allow their release. He will not survive politically or legally if he does. He will do ANYTHNG to keep them secret - anything! - there must be photos, videos, receipts, evidence of money laundering, racketeering, and domestic and international sex trafficking for him to be this desperate.
But Congress cannot stay out indefinitely and so he is trapped, desperate, and capable of anything.
This is coming to a head this month I think.
My guess? Oct 18, no kings day protests, will be called an insurrection and he will try to impose martial law. That or he will declare all drug dealers narcoterrorists and declare martial law.
Big question here. Will the military oblige?
With all of the kompramat in those files, my sense is that they were passed off in Alaska
Never to be seen again
Naw - Johnson wouldn't be so desperate to keep the files from being released as to shutdown the government if the files were not intact and devastating
If he suddenly changes his tune, that would be highly suspect.
I think we need to count on the bravery of those legions of victims and their willingness to release documentation they’ve no doubt hoarded, despite likely death threats.
Not a big question about the military- he has them in his back pocket.
Don’t know that
I, too, dream of a day when “fucking and buffoonish” reclaims its rightful preeminence. And I ain’t never gonna quit working toward that day.
Charlie Kirk: “If I’m in heaven how come my face is still to small for my head? Fuck you Jesus!”
😂🤣
