This is the column that forced me to upgrade to a "paid" subscription. I've been lurking, reading your morning posts in my email, enjoying every single one. I got to the point where I would skip other things just to get to my inbox first so I could read your take on "this day in stupid". But this morning's column was so funny that I just had to open my wallet so I could post a comment here.

Dude, you're my replacement to Jon Stewart's days hosting The Daily Show. Not only do you give accurate summations to the news, you're funny AF.

Thanks. I appreciate you.

It's definitely worth it. I look forward to the daily humor and useful info that helps get us through this non stop shit storm. Can't wait for the upcoming laughter and input from Jeff's commentaries once the tangerine turd trials begin.

I have two paid subscriptions,, Jeff here, and Joyce Vance. They compliment each other beautifully. Jeff tells you why it's stupid. He leaves nothing left unsaid when it comes to stupid. He is always right and sometimes makes me snort laugh or spit my margarita across the table. Then Joyce, who is also humorous at times, is a brilliant attorney who explains the legal stuff in plain English and gives us the perspective we need to navigate this nightmare. Also she has cats, dogs and chickens to help illustrate her points, or to just make us feel a whole lot better. I very much look forward to their posts and I never, ever delete them or scroll by. They both make my day.

I did the same thing. Then I went back to review all the Substacks I pay for and cut back, except for this one.

I got booted off Twit for a post last year and refuse to "fix" it to regain access. I did not stutter. The post said exactly what I wanted it to say. I do miss keeping up with a few people -- haven't found Michael Beschloss posting much elsewhere & it was my only regular contact with a couple of friends & a cousin, but my blood pressure is much improved! To be fair, "this week in stupid" also contributes significantly to my health and well-being lol.

Ditto here and that’s when I lost my daily feed of Jeff’s great tweets. I’m glad I can now read him on a daily basis.

I thought that FuckFace Donnie was trying to say, or convey, that RUMOR has it that DeSantis is going to leave the Presidential Race!

I thought he spelled RUMOR as ROOMER! Remember, he supposedly acts as if he has the education of a 4th grader...probably NOT one of your high-achieving 4th graders!

I think Jeff is just playing with us. Me thinks rumor is the correct term, even though Jeff was attempting to improve TFG’s spelling or his grammar.

That's what amazes me the most! If Navarro had grabbed my sign, I'd be there yelling unmentionables...and she's so calm yet so sarcastic, and just plants a GREAT line right at him. He still thinks he has control when he turns his back on her (NOT getting the sign) and she finished with..."go ahead and commit another crime. I've been here the whole time, have some situational awareness"...and he's trying to dismiss her with a wave of his hand saying "Yeah..Okay." (I went back and actually turned on cc so I could see whether anyone said anything else...but that's all I got...at least in the version I saw. I didn't really care about the beginning part where he was asking about whether CNN or OAN was there🙄)

I followed Anarchy Princess on Twitter, and I think we're here at the making of a ⭐️ !

I totally agree with every single word. It was truly one of those small but ultra spectacular gotcha moments. He was rattled and SHE. WAS. NOT. Actually checking around, she is blowing up all over the Internet since that. And we're spreading it further. Talk about girl power and just exactly the right kind, every single thing about it. I agree. She is a star!!! And you know what else, he shrank to 2 inches, not that he'd know it. Small small petty stuipid Trumper man.

Dude, that Anarchy Princess pranking Navarro needs a cabinet level position. Or maybe she could just flood the gene pool. I don't know. We need her cloned times a million.

You forgot about the Jan 6 traitor who was sentenced this week to 10 yrs, acted all sorry and contrite, and then when the judge left the room shouted “tdfg” won. What a 🐔💩. And what moronic judge is cutting the sentences in half for these traitors??!?

News From Stupid Fascist Tennessee. Republican Speaker not only silenced a Democratic representative, but went on to elbow another Democratic representative afterwards.

“Tennessee Representative Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) has consulted his attorney and is contemplating moving forward with assault charges against House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) after an altercation Tuesday when the Tennessee special legislative session adjourned.”

Here's the one that floored me this week.

"Bill Krueger, 79, head of Wisconsin Door County’s Right to Life chapter, thinks that in an ideal world, there would be no exceptions to an abortion ban.

If a woman dies?

“That’s God’s plan,” he said."

That's one lousy God you got there, Bill.
