I’ve been reading for free since the beginning, and I’m excited to finally be among like-minded (and profane) people at last! Someone mentioned a fuck quota in another comment, and I was a tad concerned.
Ahh, nameless, we all have some weird disability. Being feckless isn't that big a cross to bear. Actually, I envy you but since mine are all on fire, oh well....
Damn Otto Korrect. Surely my phone knows by now when I type any form of the word fuck, I mean exactly that. FUCKLESS... for fucks sake. (Have the swearing nazis invaded my typewriter....? Fuck off, the lot of you!!!)
That Brooks tweet(?) was roundly pounded in the WaPo comments section on their article about it. But what a lot of folks missed was that what he did wasn't bad because he posted the cost of the meal, but because he took a swipe at the economy without mentioning that the majority of his meal cost was his booze. Most commenters focused on his complaint about the meal cost, not the fact he's supposed to be a base a journalist and posted a complete lie, while taking a swipe at the economy.
And Senator Fetterman's trolling is next level. After all, did you notice the sweatshirt is a Carhartt?
Speaking of Carhartt, why is it that reich wingers seem to think they're the ONLY ones who buy Bud Light, M&Ms, guns, Carhartt, etc., etc.? They seem convinced that they're the only consumers in the nation, and no-one else on the internet is capable of fact checking simply because they aren't.
It's why people are so willing to call them ignorant.
Especially never email your boss about that thing you don’t agree on at 11p with 3/4 of a bottle of something that has a leathery-oakey finish under your belt.
I doubt you'll see my comments because there are probably a couple thousand by now. But read through most and you'll see most folks are bashing Brooks for complaining about the cost, without pointing out that he made no mention that the alcohol was part of the tab. :)
Ah! You're not subscribed then. To comment on a WaPo story, you have to be subscribed. I don't think NYT covered it because he actually works for them.
I'm wondering if David Brooks is planning to run for something? There is nothing that burnishes conservative credentials better than an obviously misleading post targeting Biden. Brooks is owning the libs, getting them all riled up in the comments section -- the only thing that could have added to it was a gun lying next to his plate... if only it hadn't been taken at an airport!
Well, I guess people posting that he's either an idiot for paying that much for a meal, or that he's a liar is "owning the libs", I guess I'm owned then.
But, I'll always be owned when a conservative posts a lie while also lying about the economy.
(And I don't get upset by pictures of guns. I own several).
This seems to have been a particularly stupid week among stupid weeks. In fact, just when you think a week couldn’t get more stupid, some member of the GOP says, “Hold my beer.” If this trajectory continues, you may have to change Saturday’s title to “This Week in Imbecilic, Delusional, Bat-shit crazy, Psychosis”.
Apparently Charlie Kirk has taken a page from Jim Baker's play book. Accuse others of what you yourself are doing...because if I'm a dirt bag, you must be one too. Loser.
Doesn’t everyone know Tim Scott is gay af? I saw the ‘60’s buzzwords ‘confirmed bachelor’ thrown out in a few articles, which is imho proof enough. He and DeSanityless need to stay in their Florida closets and leave people tf alone. Phony fucks.
Ok, used my fuck quota up for this morning. Ffs 🤦🏻♀️
I really despise Gym Jordan but that Matt Gaetz is almost just as obnoxious. I hope I live long enough to see him defeated (actually everyone in the "Freedom" Caucus). It is amazing how many ignorant voters we have in this country. I was always hoping once Rupert Murdoch resigned there would be a chance the radicalism of their shows would change but it appears the son is just as bad.
At least he can only damage Florida then. He would probably win since his family has their roots in Florida and a lot of money. Hopefully Floridians are fed up with what DeSantis has done and won't vote for Gaetz
Who would’ve thought that we’d live in a world where a politician who happens to be single feels it not only necessary, but required to make a public statement confirming their cisgender heterosexuality? Why do they fucking care so much? Who fucking cares?
When Scott uses his position of power as a Senator to regulate my private life, and my private healthcare, and to favor his own personal religious beliefs when crafting federal government policies for our large, diverse population - in effect micro-managing every American’s family life, marriage and education options, and he is also vying to sit in the highest position of power in government and the world, that’s when his private life becomes an issue of legitimate public interest to me. Normally, when someone is a private citizen, I think these things are no one’s business unless people want to share them. Secrets and power are not a good combination.
His private life is only relevant to me if he’s exercising his right to love who he wants to love- which I wholly support- while publicly condemning the LGBTQ community, or voting against LGBTQ-friendly legislation. So, basically, I don’t care if he’s gay; I care if he’s a hypocrite. Repubs, however, care if he’s gay. It’s an important distinction.
I also do not care whether or not anyone is gay or trans or any other thing out there. I want us all to be well-loved, and free to live honestly and openly. Many Republicans use Christianity as a justification to limit the rights of other people, and Tim Scott is one of them - most recently in terms of reproductive and medical privacy rights for pregnant people. Anyone who lives in the White House brings their family, so he is in a difficult position if he is gay, and wants to rise in power while keeping such a fundamental part of his life a secret from the significant portion of Republican voters who are bigoted, or who believe any sexual expression different from their own is a “sin” and therefore wouldn’t vote for him.
I just paid $50 to say that John Fetterman is a *fucking* **BOSS**
can I say that's the best $50 you ever spent? of course, I might be biased in my opinion. thank you
It’s definitely in the top ten. Well worth it, sir! I’ve been a fan for years. You’re very welcome.
I paid fifty bucks? Fuck!
It will be worth it. Just wait and see.
I am a little old lady and I love coming to this site because I can let it rip with my language! It is an asterisk free zone!
And yes, Fetterman fucking rocks!
I’ve been reading for free since the beginning, and I’m excited to finally be among like-minded (and profane) people at last! Someone mentioned a fuck quota in another comment, and I was a tad concerned.
No limit on the fucks to give or not give!
👍
It’s not that I don’t have a filter, I’m just old enough to not give a fuck most of the time.
I'm running out of fucks to give. "Oh look, they're on fire..."
Tragically, I was born without a single fuck to give in my entire life. Horrid, I know.
Ahh, nameless, we all have some weird disability. Being feckless isn't that big a cross to bear. Actually, I envy you but since mine are all on fire, oh well....
Damn Otto Korrect. Surely my phone knows by now when I type any form of the word fuck, I mean exactly that. FUCKLESS... for fucks sake. (Have the swearing nazis invaded my typewriter....? Fuck off, the lot of you!!!)
Freeing, isn’t it? I am greatly enjoying middle age for exactly that reason.
Asterisk free zone! 🤣🤣🤣😄lmao!!! Me too 75, and I just won’t behave.
Worth every penny.
A steal, actually!
I like how the second Don Jr. pic/post falsely claims to be from Earth.
😂
1. Menendez has always been shady
2. Bar drinks at airports are just as expensive as the food. Brooks has always been an ass
3. Gaetz’ coke or baby butt talc? Gaetz has always been shady.
4. Sure let’s have a civil war, they’ll just fucking shoot each other. Nothing shady here, just stupidity.
Have you seen a photo of his trashy wife and her humongous boobs? It must cost the guy a fortune in her plastic surgery bills.
Yes! I was thinking “aren’t you rich enough to have someone tell you how to dress? Or to buy a decent dress?” 🤮
you can't fix stupid and you can't fix cheap ho.
Hey Ila, 1000% agree with your comment. I’m in Portland visiting your state for the first time. Lovely place and great people!
🙏🏼

$61 on whiskey - reminder to self: never post when drinking.
Especially never email your boss about that thing you don’t agree on at 11p with 3/4 of a bottle of something that has a leathery-oakey finish under your belt.
That was weirdly specific... :)
Somewhat similar disingenuous reporting as when Lauren was reported to be vaping in the theater when the real story was oh, so much more!
I missed that WaPo article. Must...go....comment :D
I doubt you'll see my comments because there are probably a couple thousand by now. But read through most and you'll see most folks are bashing Brooks for complaining about the cost, without pointing out that he made no mention that the alcohol was part of the tab. :)
Must be NYT?

Yeah, I found that but no link to comments.
Ah! You're not subscribed then. To comment on a WaPo story, you have to be subscribed. I don't think NYT covered it because he actually works for them.
I take it that you're FancyPantsGangstair? Your link took me right to your comment.
Guilty as charged. Didn't know the link would do that though. ;-P
I up voted it! You're welcome. Snortlaugh
LOL!

You’ve got THAT right!
John Fetterman is the best.
That’s a fetching CARHARTT hoodie Senator Fetterman has on 👍.

you were under the impression Charlie Kirk had any original thoughts? Let’s review 😉
Oh, it’s Scotch? I thought it was Brooks’s urine sample. 🤷🏻♀️
I think I just snorted and destroyed my sinuses. Thx
🤣
Doesn’t everyone know Tim Scott is gay af? I saw the ‘60’s buzzwords ‘confirmed bachelor’ thrown out in a few articles, which is imho proof enough. He and DeSanityless need to stay in their Florida closets and leave people tf alone. Phony fucks.
Ok, used my fuck quota up for this morning. Ffs 🤦🏻♀️
Wait, there’s a fuck quota?
Fuck yeah there is.
Fuck, I’m fucked
I hear some fucking fuckers like being fucked fucked though, for fuck's sake.
Well, fuck!
first day as a commenter and it's already like Jenny's been here forever
Fuck you gonna do about it though, right?
I try to keep it under 100
Stop trying ..... 🙃
Don’t want to lose the emphasis of the word or it becomes meaningless...right?
Brooks complaining about the exorbitant cost of his meal all while letting $15 worth of toppings go to waste. Wanker.
I love you Jeff. You brighten my otherwise stupid day
I really despise Gym Jordan but that Matt Gaetz is almost just as obnoxious. I hope I live long enough to see him defeated (actually everyone in the "Freedom" Caucus). It is amazing how many ignorant voters we have in this country. I was always hoping once Rupert Murdoch resigned there would be a chance the radicalism of their shows would change but it appears the son is just as bad.
I saw a video that Gaetz is setting his sights on being governor. Like DeSatan isn’t bad enough?
At least he can only damage Florida then. He would probably win since his family has their roots in Florida and a lot of money. Hopefully Floridians are fed up with what DeSantis has done and won't vote for Gaetz
🤢🤮🤬

Hadn't run across that Fetterman joke yet. Damn that's great. Damn.
I love Jeff’s weekly rap up. The best: “found object Charlie Kirk” 😂
Only a stone cold degenerate drunk drinks bourbon with a burger in the afternoon. Or really any time. A beer or coke fer chrissakes
I thought the same thing. WTF? 🙄
