Taylor Swift is keeping our economy alive. That's why the GQP Whackos hate her. How DARE a woman be RICH and POWERFUL and TALENTED and BEAUTIFUL. She MUST be a WITCH!! /s

Did you notice that in the rant posted by the dopey “Christian“ woman, instead of saying, “tie a millstone around your neck,” she said, “tie a milestone.” This copy editor can’t help herself. Mistakes hit me like a fly in the eye.

Spelling and grammar are not their forte.

True, neither is thinking.

Also, "...singing TO the top of our lungs," when the expression has always been "singing AT," and if she's going with plural "lungs," "topS" is the correct word. Proofreading is a gift and a curse.

Yes, I missed that. Dammit, Janet!!

I try to read these diatribes from the right wing as quickly as possible, because if I linger on what they are saying, I start feeling nauseous.

That was the ONLY memorable part for me. :)

Not one of her musical fans but she has also been responsible for getting over 35,000 people to register to vote after posting a short message on Instagram. Although her message was nonpartisan, she's been known to endorse Democrats like she did with Tennessee congressional candidates in 2018. No doubt she's tired of all of this bullshit from the GOP wingnut circus.

YES! The Swifties will change the world!

I don't know if she's a witch but she seems positively enchanting.

Turn them all in to newts, Taylor. They'll get better.

I enjoy your weekly roundup of stupid, but I am concerned that the stupidity may be infectious. The depth and breadth of the stupid always leaves me a bit stunned and dizzy, but maybe that's because the Earth is spinning so fast. I dunno...

I always liked one of the earliest Internet memes "The Stupid, it Burns!"

Expand full comment

It does.

Thanks for bringing this to the forefront of memory. And it still burns!

Right. I feel faint. 😂😂😂

Someone pump the breaks already!!

Excellent and spot on, as always! Thanks for the chuckles Jeff, bc without them, I’d be losing my sh*t right about now! Always love when your posts pop up. I immediately stop whatever else I’m doing and read them! 🙌😉

I look forward to them so much that I purposefully make them a reward for getting chores done first. 😂

Chores be damned. Jeff’s day brightener always comes first - with my daily cuppa via french press, certified organic, shade-grown and fair traded coffee.

I was hoping Jeff posted earlier than usual today

I checked my email, and there it was

Don't ever let anyone tell you that God doesn't exist

I'm running out the door when Jeff's newsletter came in. I had to peek though and when I saw

MTG's ridiculously stupid quote I couldn't stop laughing. Is she the biggest idiot in Congress or not?

I walk my dogs,

The leashes get tangled,

I untangle them.

Don't tell me there's not a God.

Tangled leashes!!! Oh fuck me, there is a god!

Jesus fucking Christ I hate goddamn tangled leashes. Thank you Lord for thine disentanglement.

Oh God, forgive me, but that’s hilarious!

Thanks Jeff, another weekly wrap up that’s hits it... BTW, Scorsese will begin production of a biopic on Jerry Garcia...now there is some chicken fried fun this Medicare Dead Head will enjoy. Scorsese always includes the best music score in all of his productions, leaning on traditional R&B.. Now, shoot that in my veins.

Expand full comment

That will be excellent. Who plays Jerry?

Expand full comment

Jonah Hill, the costar in Moneyball.

Expand full comment

IMHO Dead do Dylan the best, sometimes even better than Dylan...but that’s just me..

Expand full comment

That works.

Expand full comment

Himself, bewitchedly....

Expand full comment

Never having been a Deadhead, I have almost no interest in Jerry Garcia, but I will see ANYTHING Scorsese directs, so looking forward to that too!

Expand full comment

Wow, can’t wait for this one.

Expand full comment

I think the GQP is still salty that Taylor Swift got 35,000 of her Gen-Z fans to register to vote.

Expand full comment

That and quitting the country music scene.

🔨 I think you nailed it. 🔨

It’s so fucking hard to try to wrap one’s brain around the koan “are they this stupid or just this terrible at whatever it is they’re trying to do” that it’s exhausting. Thanks, JT. What a week. What an age.

So Taylor Swift is a witch and Donald Trump is right up there with Jesus?Now I get it! These religious whack jobs nauseate me to no end.Ugh!

It’s 10:07 A.M. and I’m not out of bed yet so being the good little old lady WOKE human that I am, I’m going to bury my head in the big pile of sand I keep out back for just such a purpose. It’s all to keep the dumbassery away; far, far away.

Have a great Sunday Jeff. We’ll catch you on the Monday edition.

Thank you for making me laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of it all

Kandiss says it's better to have a MILEstone around your neck. I don't think she reads her scripture very carefully.....

Baseball bats would be better.

They don't apply here. You cannot step on a bat and have it come up and hit you in the face like rakes.

I’m right with you on the can’t name a song and couldn’t pick her out of a lineup, but my cardiologist’s assistant is a Swiftie and I can live with that. This Week In Stupid went of in a lotta directions - well covered sir.

Expand full comment

"Marjorie Three Brain Cells Greene" 😂😂 Ahhhh... And I didnt know Kandi was still in play-what a wing nut. Then, that chyron on Fox News? They should be embarrassed. I'm just still euphoric over all the good news from yesterday and look forward to more this week. This is a helluva time to be alive, isnt it? 🤦‍♀️ Thanks Jeff!
