It’s no longer just Trump the world blames for his cruel idiotic incompetence.
Those at Davos blame American voters.
I have never once voted for Trump. I’ve never watched the “Apprentice”.
In the future people who deny voting for Trump. For many that will be a lie. Then there’s the ridiculous group of Democrats who think not voting is a worthwhile protest, it’s lazy&stupid
I write about this occasionally: In the Erica Jong book “Fear of Flying” she spoke about a time when her then husband was stationed in Germany. Ms Jong worked for a small local paper. She was trying to locate a Nazi era amphitheater. No one would admit to knowing its existence or whereabouts.
There will always be maga in the walls&carpets, but many Americans will deny supporting Trump.
That's a good story. She finds the amphitheater and writes a self-righteous OpEd about Truth and Art and Beauty for a local paper. The editor agrees to print it, but tells her she doesn't understand the German people.
"The Germans LOVED Hitler," he said. "If they were to be honest, you wouldn't like what you would hear. But they are not honest. For 25 years they have not been honest. They never cried for their war dead and they never cried for Hitler. ... Even they don't know their real feelings. If they were honest, you would hate it worse than their hypocrisy."
I'll go out on a limb and speculate that MAGA loves Trump for the same reason Germans loved Hitler: Both men appeared at a time when a segment of their countries's population felt beaten-down and losing ground, and for a few glorious years, they made them feel like the winners of life's lottery.
And then, when it's over, MAGA will pack away the Trump flags and other memorabilia, just like the Germans packed away their Nazi merch, and soothe their broken hearts with drugs, alcohol and the most powerful substance of all: Denial.
Yeah, I always loved me some Germans. They have a special word for people who supported Hitler but only did it for the sake of their families. They're called Nazis.
Back in the 80's, I got into a conversation with a nice young German couple. They were complaining bitterly about how Americans were stomping around in their Black Forest with NATO on maneuvers. I just observed that they are a sovereign nation, the Bundestag could toss the American army out of Germany if it chose. Their reply wasn't legal or procedural, it had nothing to do with the NATO alliance being binding. It was just pure, visceral horror at the very idea. The man blurted out, in a near panic "No! We cannot! You are here protecting us from ourselves!".
I won't let my 3 Trumpian brothers off the hook and go revisionist history on me! My Uncle, who was born in the early 20's told me he saw the KKK meeting in Arlington VA at an old stadium, which is the site of a mall now, when he was a little kid. He snuck in with a few neighborhood kids and saw them burning crosses with their hoods on and all. After a big march on DC in mid-late 20's, the populace woke up and banned the secrecy of members in the group, whose headquarters was in Arlington VA. (Similarly, we should ban dark money in politics today AND the MASKING of ICE.) The KKK now had to publish the names of those people in the organization which essentially forced it too disband as the hypocritical members were local racist businessmen and politicians who could then be held accountable for the lynchings and burnings. The headquarters left the state of Virginia then.
I never for one minute believed the "Intel" on why we went in or supported it. Lo and behold, those of us who did not support it turned out to be right. We were lied to and lots of people died for that, and marriages broke up and children grew up without one or both parents. Devastating lies.
Same here, Linda. The rationale for invading was ridiculous on the face of it, and I didn't understand why the whole country---especially Congress---didn't see that.
I'll never forget going into Sears for some appliance and taking the escalator down to a yellow ribboned area with Matell plastic Soldiers and Kids Camo War paraphenalia for sale. I almost screamed with disbelief when my Mother said, "Oh, let's hope the "boys" come back soon" No, Mom, this is not your righteous WWII military saving the World...20 years later with those stupid senseless destructive but $$ making for the Republican cronies wars and covering up Republican dirty dealings these greedy bastards are still at it.
Not all. No one I knew believed it. And, I might point out that our allied countries that Trump has now dissed and threatened also gave their sons to the cause, many of whom lost their lives or shed blood to support the lie of an unpopular US president to up his poll ratings.
Powell should have resigned on the spot. We know he knew invading Iraq was going to be a cluster because leading up to it he warned the famous Potterybarn rule: "You break it, you own it."
It's time for us to think about another rule. When Russia was losing, Ukraine was ready to take advantage of their dismal performance and with our help, could have crushed Russia - set them way back. But no, Speaker Mike Johnson slow-walked the funding of munitions and completely gave Russia time to regroup to fight another day.
Same for us during this war with our illegal government. ICE is obviously a lawbreaking nightmare. We need to double down on national, persistent protests to show that we will not tolerate this new normal gestapo.
Unfortunately, 7 Democrats voted to fund ICE. So, call your senators and tell them NO! Tell them to retire Senator Schumer and stop being complete idiots by giving away our leverage. When we are winning the war, it's time to finish them off.
New rule: "We are mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore!"
In the Bay Area, thousands of people were in the streets opposing the second Gulf War, but the news intentionally under-reported the numbers. We get lied to in both directions.
Are you just going for hyperbole to make a [valid] point, or do you really think it was 90%? I seem to recall hundreds of thousands protesting across the country.
The protest here in Cleveland was small but loud. We probably covered a city block.
Not only Democrats.. And as to all Americans being blamed: Welcome to being on the other side of collective guilt. How does it feel? Perhaps Americans can learn something from this, like the dangers of generalization. We might start by applying it to the Palestinians, Muslims and Jews.
I think that was different. Trump refused to release SNAP funds and there were literally people going hungry. I think these senators took pity on the poor. I have a friend who is a social worker and she said the food banks were over run.
Well I understand why Dems voted for Dipshit McDogdoo! They were concerned about the price of FUCKING EGGS. And that’s why they voted for a chicken. #bawkbawkbawk
Not just those at DAVOS. I am living in Germany and a friend who is American was at a restaurant last week talking with a friend, and person at a nearby introduced himself and asked if they were from the US. Then he told them that he had been there in Wisconsin and had a wonderful time, but he wanted to warn them that everyone hates Americans now, not him, but people in general, and that he was warning them not to be so obvious about being American in public. I think he meant don't speak in English. It made me think of how immigrants are feeling in the US right now. Boycotts against US goods are being organized and I think that wave will grow.
Also, as for Canada. I read that Trump said he wanted Alberta. Alberta is filled with Maple MAGAs as Dean Blundell call them, and some want to join the US. I would be glad to trade my state Illinois for Alberta, since we would love the Canadian health care system and to allow our universities to be funded for research again and our children to get vaccines, etc...
Not voting is what put the traitor back in our White House. Telling anyone not to use their voice is the stupidest, irresponsible statement I've ever heard. It must have come from Democrats who know they'll lose their bid for re-election. They should.
Jeff, in "things that happened while you were writing this", did you see his post about the impending major winter storm and "global warming"???....holy shit, this idiot has gone so far passed "embarrassing", that you can't even see "embarrassing" in the rear view mirror!!
Remember in Orwell's "1984," WAR IS PEACE. So the Board of Peace is really the Board or War. I am wondering whether that means that the countries that paid to be on this board are either going to expect Trump won't use his powerful military to make war on their countries; or that they will have to join him when he uses his powerful army to make war on other countries, like countries that did not ante up to join his board. Greenland is in trouble because Denmark did not join his board. Trump must be getting frustrated, he has given European countries endless opportunities to pay him grift, and he is trying again and again. Will it work, or will they eschew it altogether?
President of Finland says the EU is a safer place to do business because it is calmer and more reliable in this piece of interview of him at DAVOS. https://youtu.be/1UXY-Y0nJjk?si=jDw0gXpe63HY9t3T
I stand with Minnesota in their GENERAL STRIKE DAY, even though I am living abroad. My friend in Chicago told me that the actual temp was -34 and that with windchill could go down to -50 in Chicago and Wisconsin. She showed me a weather map that showed that Nuuk is warmer than Chicago and Wisconsin, so I am hoping that Minnesota is really cold too, and that ICE agents are not out.
Chicagoan here -- current temp in our far north neighborhood is -2, but wind chill is -12. In Milwaukee, it's -9, but feels like -31. The Wisconsonites will have no trouble coping with these temps, but ICE may very well find themselves frozen out.
entiendo amigo i do understand friend. i am almost out of words that i feel i must say.
this is the closet i have ever been scared for the future.
me? i lov a good fight! especially when it involves our freedoms and the government sponsored violence attempting to trample both with the physical force of gestapo.
i applaud your efforts that so many don't have the opportunity to freely express their concerns their gripes their fears.
what is my one fear? that what i do isn't going to be enough with helping the efforts to protect our protected and guaranteed rights.
my promise ... until my last breath when i mouth , fuk you donnie boy!
I was really impressed by Jack Smith. It’s absolute fucking bullshit that he didn’t get to prosecute HIM. Shame on all of the traitors to this country for not following the law and putting us through the nightmare that is trump!
Justice Roberts and his bought and paid for SCOTUS are responsible. They have the fanciest degrees, the best education and they nonetheless tossed their intelligence aside for greedy gain. Scumbag traitors, all of them.
Did you know that Barrett, Kavanaugh (and I think Gorsuch?) - all worked on the Bush v Gore case (R) legal team? You’d think that would have been HIGHLIGHTED in their hearings? These ppl are all friends / comfortable club :/
The thing I don't get is Trump is NOT a member of the old guard "club." He's a scary mutation of their power hungry antics. A slithering green slime that escaped from the laboratory. He disgusts them. Sometimes I wonder what Kompromat Donny has on them via Putin and Epstein.
He was weirdly able to cobble together a coalition (and activate a cohort disenfranchised ppl who didn’t normally vote). And his entertainment quality distracts from no poilcies… but 🦊 news and Mark Burnett(The Apprentice-Effect) were major contributors to this PR debacle!
Sorry, I have no big issues with Biden, but it is on him that we got Merrick Garland. Smith can hold his own with anyone, especially the moronic MAGA trolls.
Shame on him for not independently vetting the info he was given. IIRC, he initially had doubts, but allowed himself to be maneuvered into backing Dubya. In his position, he obviously could have tapped his own sources.
Jumpin' Jim Jordan was literally like a monkey in a cage, jumping up and down in his chair. WTF was he on, cuz I don't want ANY OF THAT SHIT. I like my sleep. Either that or he had some sort of toy buzzing his nuts....
I hope that Jack Smith sees this thing through with us. I hope all of it is properly memorialized and safely stored away!! The DOJ is at this point nothing else but a hollowed out Agency. Agents who had been part of the case vs. TRUMP , are being purged right & left.
First of all…what the fuck is a “big aspirin?” Geez. Love Fanone’s actions-the Republicans were disgustingly rambling throughout! More of Jack Smith please! Have a nice WARM weekend (🥶) everyone and STAY SAFE!
I didn't want to get into details because I did a whole post about it three weeks ago, but he's talking about 325 milligram tablets, which is four times the recommended dose, which technically even isn't recommended any more
No one would keep getting their hands bruised on a precise scheduled basis by accident. It's clearly from IVs. Looks like necrosis. When do the hand veins collapse?
Butterfly needles. He's being propped up with some big-boy drugs. Then they have to come back around to pump more into him to try and counter the crippling side-effects.
Asshole probably heard the doctor say take a baby aspirin every day and he had a tantrum. "I'm not a baby, I am a big boy. The biggest boy! Give me the big boy aspirin!!!!!!!"
Interesting that the logo doesn't include the territories of any of the current signatories except the U.S. Or more specifically, it includes pretty much nothing besides the U.S.
And while we are glory standing, lets remember what Jim Jordan said.
"We should never forget what they did to the guy that we the people elected president twice."— Rep. Jim Jordan, twisting accountability into victimhood like a dickhead
DARVO is their best friend. And that's what Coach Shouty is there in Congress to do, to obstruct, bloviate and just be a general thorn in the side of America.
Some folks are posting links to their pages here… I dunno. Seems like bad form to me but it doesnt seem to bother anyone else. It should be apparent in your name… 🤷🏼♀️ but I appreciate you mentioning you have a stack. 👏👏👏👏
11 of the countries on the BORED OF PEACE are currently banned from immigrant visas to the US. I say Bored of Peace because it seems like they are getting ready to take over the world. All the violent despots on Earth. What could go wrong?
These are ragged assed countries with large impoverished populations, plus two war-strapped criminal nations guilty of genocide (Russia and Israel). Truly the A-list of losers.
Netanyahu may be guilty of war crimes but NOT genocide. The only ones committing genocide was Hamas. Attacking Jews with Nazi analogies has more to do with antisemitic hate than reality.
He met privately with Putin, who probably dominated him and scared him or promised him a gold crown. I used to think he had some scandal on him. but I dont think Trump cares anymore about scandal.
I do. His pathological narcissism means he'll do anything to preserve his image of himself. Meaning that scandal must be suppressed. Otherwise, why not release the Epstein files?
"he’s the laziest fucksnot ever to have crapped a diaper in the Oval Bordello" 😂😂
Jack Smith is an American Hero.
It's all a bad damned dream. One sort of bright spot is how the Clintons are handling Comer Fudd's little subpoena. Wouldn't that be something if the Epstein files are forced into the light of day because of them!? 🤯
"Hey, we can't defend ourselves if we havent seen whatcha got...so show it already."
Twatwaffle's cortex is not just cooked, the motherfucker is CRISPY! He is in horrible physical and mental condition. The fuckin retrumplicans won't do a damn thing. It's just a fuckin shame
For all of the in your face crime and bullshit that goes on in this current timeline, we do have our heroes.
It was heartwarming to see the clip of Fanone on the verge of punching out that repulsive man who looks like the kids game, the magnetic bald guy that you cover up with hair and beards to change appearance. Too bad he didn’t get his appearance changed right there in chambers, it would’ve been 👏
Eric Swalwell really stepped up and called out his “colleagues “ for the pieces of shit that they are while heroine Jasmine Crockett thanked Jack Smith for his bravery as we all should. And of course, Jack Smith, the consummate professional, totally unshakable in the face of these idiots.
It was a masterclass in dealing with lying hacks in Congress. And I love that he called out what they were going to do (some false charges).
Now the thing is, Maladministration 2.0 seems to have a deep bench of lolyers, even with the recent quitting of Halligan. This clownshoes lolyer fuckery is only going to stop when consequences (sanctions and contempt of court) start being assessed. Till then these creatures in Congress and in the White House know they can keep doing this, knowing they're shielded by both Murc's Law and the inbuilt deference to the unreconstructed in the political and legal systems.
sorry to post so late. this one was another bear to write. COULD THE TORRENT OF NEWS PLEASE SLOW DOWN AND LET ME CATCH MY BREATH?
It’s no longer just Trump the world blames for his cruel idiotic incompetence.

I have never once voted for Trump. I’ve never watched the “Apprentice”.

Yes, remember when 90% of Americans supported the war in Iraq?
Well, you could co😊
unt them on one hand now.
AND---I was an adult during the Vietnam War. I lived in a conservative state at the time, and, believe
me, most of the people you
knew or met were cheerleaders for that war. Going back to that state now, no one admits it.
I write about this occasionally: In the Erica Jong book “Fear of Flying” she spoke about a time when her then husband was stationed in Germany. Ms Jong worked for a small local paper. She was trying to locate a Nazi era amphitheater. No one would admit to knowing its existence or whereabouts.
There will always be maga in the walls&carpets, but many Americans will deny supporting Trump.
MAGA in the carpets? That sounds so much like dog shit one tracks in stuck to the bottom of one's shoe.
So it’s a perfect description
That's a good story. She finds the amphitheater and writes a self-righteous OpEd about Truth and Art and Beauty for a local paper. The editor agrees to print it, but tells her she doesn't understand the German people.
"The Germans LOVED Hitler," he said. "If they were to be honest, you wouldn't like what you would hear. But they are not honest. For 25 years they have not been honest.

And then, when it's over, MAGA will pack away the Trump flags and other memorabilia, just like the Germans packed away their Nazi merch, and soothe their broken hearts with drugs, alcohol and the most powerful substance of all: Denial.
So well said wow
They never really go-away, do they? Perhaps go into remission but they're always lurking in the weeds, just waiting to return.
Thats sooo true. There millions of racists and fascists
Historian Jon Meacham has noted that even after being censured, Joe McCarthy had a 30% approval rating.
That number keeps coming up. It's the unchangeable crusty bit at the bottom of the drip-pan that is America.
Trump has 40% approval rating. Must be the relatives and children of McCarthy supporters.
In some polls he's starting to dip under 40%.
Its like cockroaches. By the time you see one, your walls are infested.
Yeah, I always loved me some Germans. They have a special word for people who supported Hitler but only did it for the sake of their families. They're called Nazis.
Back in the 80's, I got into a conversation with a nice young German couple. They were complaining bitterly about how Americans were stomping around in their Black Forest with NATO on maneuvers. I just observed that they are a sovereign nation, the Bundestag could toss the American army out of Germany if it chose. Their reply wasn't legal or procedural, it had nothing to do with the NATO alliance being binding. It was just pure, visceral horror at the very idea. The man blurted out, in a near panic "No! We cannot! You are here protecting us from ourselves!".
Now, that's fucked up.
Realistic though
I won't let my 3 Trumpian brothers off the hook and go revisionist history on me! My Uncle, who was born in the early 20's told me he saw the KKK meeting in Arlington VA at an old stadium, which is the site of a mall now, when he was a little kid. He snuck in with a few neighborhood kids and saw them burning crosses with their hoods on and all. After a big march on DC in mid-late 20's, the populace woke up and banned the secrecy of members in the group, whose headquarters was in Arlington VA. (Similarly, we should ban dark money in politics today AND the MASKING of ICE.) The KKK now had to publish the names of those people in the organization which essentially forced it too disband as the hypocritical members were local racist businessmen and politicians who could then be held accountable for the lynchings and burnings. The headquarters left the state of Virginia then.
They probably moved to Palm Beach Florida
I never for one minute believed the "Intel" on why we went in or supported it. Lo and behold, those of us who did not support it turned out to be right. We were lied to and lots of people died for that, and marriages broke up and children grew up without one or both parents. Devastating lies.
Same here, Linda. The rationale for invading was ridiculous on the face of it, and I didn't understand why the whole country---especially Congress---didn't see that.
The Republican Congress knew it was a lie. They went along with it so Bush could be re-elected for a second term.
When I say my last name, I always say "Busch like the beer, not the president."
I'll never forget going into Sears for some appliance and taking the escalator down to a yellow ribboned area with Matell plastic Soldiers and Kids Camo War paraphenalia for sale. I almost screamed with disbelief when my Mother said, "Oh, let's hope the "boys" come back soon" No, Mom, this is not your righteous WWII military saving the World...20 years later with those stupid senseless destructive but $$ making for the Republican cronies wars and covering up Republican dirty dealings these greedy bastards are still at it.
bush war crimina, powell and the corporate media knew how to lie well and sold it to the sheeple
Not all. No one I knew believed it. And, I might point out that our allied countries that Trump has now dissed and threatened also gave their sons to the cause, many of whom lost their lives or shed blood to support the lie of an unpopular US president to up his poll ratings.
Had to be a lot to get 90% approval for Iraq war. As once famously said patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel
They even lied to their Secretary of State (Powell) before he made his/our case at the UN!
Powell was a fucking liar too. Don’t fool yourself.
Powell should have resigned on the spot. We know he knew invading Iraq was going to be a cluster because leading up to it he warned the famous Potterybarn rule: "You break it, you own it."
It's time for us to think about another rule. When Russia was losing, Ukraine was ready to take advantage of their dismal performance and with our help, could have crushed Russia - set them way back.

In the Bay Area, thousands of people were in the streets opposing the second Gulf War, but the news intentionally under-reported the numbers. We get lied to in both directions.
They handed the black man the bag and then threw him under the bus
Are you just going for hyperbole to make a [valid] point, or do you really think it was 90%? I seem to recall hundreds of thousands protesting across the country.
The protest here in Cleveland was small but loud. We probably covered a city block.
I must confess that I supported the war in Iraq. Killing a bunch of Arabs sounded like a Good Thing at the time.
That is the only one I supported. I demonstrated against the Vietnam war. And I have never voted for the trumpery.
Amnesia is a wonderful thing...
Oh, yeah; amen, sister!!!
Not only Democrats.. And as to all Americans being blamed: Welcome to being on the other side of collective guilt. How does it feel? Perhaps Americans can learn something from this, like the dangers of generalization. We might start by applying it to the Palestinians, Muslims and Jews.
many dems voted for the orange mussolini....that is the sad part
Seven Democrats in the House voted yesterday to increase ICE funding by $28 billion. The measure would have failed without their vote.
I am sad about that, tending toward "irate." Like the eight senators who called off the government shutdown and got nothing in return.
I think that was different. Trump refused to release SNAP funds and there were literally people going hungry. I think these senators took pity on the poor. I have a friend who is a social worker and she said the food banks were over run.
Yes, they think they won't lose their seats to Republicans if they vote with Republicans.
🤬
Those 7 fucking Democrats will hear from me today.
Really? I you sure some of the swing states he won were heavily visited by Musk who Trump hinted at election tampering.
Well I understand why Dems voted for Dipshit McDogdoo! They were concerned about the price of FUCKING EGGS. And that’s why they voted for a chicken. #bawkbawkbawk

Not voting is vote for the opposition. No one will see your snit fit.
I too never voted for Trump (or even refrained from voting when he was on the ballot).
Never watched his game show. Not once. I do believe thats why a lot of people voted for him, though. Television is a great marketing tool.
"Not voting is vote for the opposition."
How does that work, mathematically? I don't see it.
Not voting is what put the traitor back in our White House. Telling anyone not to use their voice is the stupidest, irresponsible statement I've ever heard. It must have come from Democrats who know they'll lose their bid for re-election. They should.
Emphasis on stupid! 🤬🤬🤬
Should also add dumbfuck assholes.
It won't Jeff. Trust me. I keep begging, but it aint happening.
We’re all running to stand still. I prefer a leisurely walk.

Perfect!
Not to mention, "They call him Torquemada because you can't torquemada anything."
Never forget the brilliant Zero Mostel’s personal experiences of Hitlerism and his direct input into The Producers.🐈⬛
Oh my god, how perfect!
thanks for the laughs
Springtime for Hitler is a good old fashioned spoof on the Hitler third Reich an thousand years, no.
or Bored of Peace.
Evita rolling over in her grave
Internet Winner Today 🏆
I thought Trump meant “Bored of Peace”. Seems more accurate.
Good one!
Hefty piece of Gaza.
Jack Smith isn’t theatrical. That’s what terrifies them.
No vibes. No loyalty tests. Just evidence, timelines, and consequences.
Authoritarians rely on noise and exhaustion. Prosecutors rely on memory. And memory is what they’re trying to erase.
I was really impressed by Jack Smith. It’s absolute fucking bullshit that he didn’t get to prosecute HIM. Shame on all of the traitors to this country for not following the law and putting us through the nightmare that is trump!
( Basically: M I T C H )
Justice Roberts and his bought and paid for SCOTUS are responsible. They have the fanciest degrees, the best education and they nonetheless tossed their intelligence aside for greedy gain. Scumbag traitors, all of them.

Sorry, I have no big issues with Biden, but it is on him that we got Merrick Garland. Smith can hold his own with anyone, especially the moronic MAGA trolls.
I had heard back then that he had originally wanted Doug Jones… but was talked into Garland (through Ron Klain CoS?) Will have to dig a bit more…
The damage is already done. Doug Jones would have been much better. I think Garland got picked out of sympathy since McConnell screwed him over.
JACK SMITH is today's GENERAL COLIN POWELL!
Seriously? Powell lied about WMD.
he did lie with the report supplied by the CIA under the code CURVEBALL and the W himself.
he was given FALSE INFORMATION to keep the secret and kick him under the bus
Shame on him for not independently vetting the info he was given. IIRC, he initially had doubts, but allowed himself to be maneuvered into backing Dubya. In his position, he obviously could have tapped his own sources.
I had Republican acquaintances that did NOT go with W just because of his weak case and nobody wanted it, one of the original stupidest wars.
The Republicans in that deposition were like fucking monkeys in a zoo cage slinging their shit at the walls, the bars, and in the end each other.
Jumpin' Jim Jordan was literally like a monkey in a cage, jumping up and down in his chair. WTF was he on, cuz I don't want ANY OF THAT SHIT. I like my sleep. Either that or he had some sort of toy buzzing his nuts....
They are good at distracting visually from actual WORDS
Have lotsa practice as they don’t sweat crafting policy. & Their voters don’t care. Wow. Pretty sweet gig
THEY fear oppositions, all of them.
they fear resistance by the public
they fear their own turning against them.
they fear their own shadows and worst of all ...
they fear knowledge and they know without any doubts
WE ARE BETTER LEARNED not just educated but prepared MORE THAN THEY WANT OR COULD BE!
a salute to the left of normal, you and you and even you are our future and i salute you!
Like olden times - before reality needed to be juiced for the (phone)camera… :/
I hope that Jack Smith sees this thing through with us. I hope all of it is properly memorialized and safely stored away!! The DOJ is at this point nothing else but a hollowed out Agency. Agents who had been part of the case vs. TRUMP , are being purged right & left.
Smith (no relation) is a man of integrity, honor and righteousness. I'm glad he's on 'our side.'
You'd be right about that. And as the cliche goes....We havent seen the last of him.
Jaime Raskin invited Mr. Smith to speak again after Volume II of his report is released, sure to be a best seller.
They say that was important
He'd make a fine AG in the next Democratic administration.
First of all…what the fuck is a “big aspirin?” Geez. Love Fanone’s actions-the Republicans were disgustingly rambling throughout! More of Jack Smith please! Have a nice WARM weekend (🥶) everyone and STAY SAFE!
I didn't want to get into details because I did a whole post about it three weeks ago, but he's talking about 325 milligram tablets, which is four times the recommended dose, which technically even isn't recommended any more

Here’s hoping he slowly bleeds out from that ulcer he’s created
That thing on his hand looks like a hematoma.
It's from IVs. So speaketh the dementia nurses and rehab specialists on IG
No one would keep getting their hands bruised on a precise scheduled basis by accident. It's clearly from IVs. Looks like necrosis. When do the hand veins collapse?
It looks like they blew out a vein.
Butterfly needles. He's being propped up with some big-boy drugs. Then they have to come back around to pump more into him to try and counter the crippling side-effects.
Have the other veins already collapsed?
I don't know why they keep using his hand. They usually have a port, PICC line, Hickman CVC, etc., to facilitate ongoing infusions
no, he has blown out his veins everywhere else so now his aim is also bad! gotta mainline that much evil hatred and racism!
Not too slowly though.
I vote for “quickly “!!
Not bothering to hide the bruise anymore?
His silhouette looks positively ruzzian-diplomat in that flag picture 😳🤔
This is on the left hand. Before it was the right and they tried to pass it off as shaking to many hands. Does he now shake hands with the left?
Just sayin
*& ‘Biden is old’ for those keeping score @home 😒
Yes, so old.
Also, not president.
Aspirin and a bite will cause a bruise like that.
Strange that his bite is regularly in the same spot, isn't it?
And when you take that much aspirin on a daily basis, you can bleed in other places as well, not just what you see on the outside. 🤞
Into his diaper
Ah…thanks for the explanation again! I guess my retention span is shrinking as I get older! :)
81 mg has been recommended for decades in medicine
but, but, butt! he is a trump and good sense or rules need not apply
The hypothetical MD after his name stands for Mad Dog.
Sounds like a good scrap of shredded paper could do him in…
While not dramatic ‘live’ - Jack’s clips are gonna age well - a GROWNUP has entered the chat.
A welcome change. We've had enough drama -- and tragedy -- in the past decade to last more than a lifetime.
Ready for that pendulum swing-back‼️
Sadly, I think its going to get much worse first.
😞
I don’t know because the AMA is now recommending a baby aspirin for most heart issues.
Asshole probably heard the doctor say take a baby aspirin every day and he had a tantrum. "I'm not a baby, I am a big boy. The biggest boy! Give me the big boy aspirin!!!!!!!"
Biggest aspirin ever! People are saying no one has ever seen such a big aspirin! AND it had tears in its eyes
Yep. 80 mg, not 325.
It comes in 81 mg size in the US.
they have been for decades
Disinviting PM Carney from joining the Board of Venal Shitbags is not the burn that SShitler thinks it is.
I'm waiting for NO GIRLZ ALOUD!!! to be added to their stunning logo.
Should they have a qualifier like "Unless you have big boobs and a billion dollars?"
That's understood.
Only girlz under 13
Oooofff
Interesting that the logo doesn't include the territories of any of the current signatories except the U.S. Or more specifically, it includes pretty much nothing besides the U.S.
LOL Its proof he's a 3 year old.
Except most three-year-olds are out of diapers by then
Ya gotta point.
😆😆😆
Lucy clip works for me 😆‼️
We take it as a badge of honour- thank you, Sir Fuckwit, for publishing our RSVP. Not a chance in hell we would have joined.
Never thought I would have such admiration for someone telling me to fuck off, but Mark Carney has my boundless adoration.
Did you see the guy on the Board of Venal Shitbags who looked just like Hitler? 😱
I didn't, but will look now. So fitting, though, because Hitler was a yoooge shitbag
Here, Here, Uncle Jeff.
And while we are glory standing, lets remember what Jim Jordan said.
"We should never forget what they did to the guy that we the people elected president twice."— Rep. Jim Jordan, twisting accountability into victimhood like a dickhead

DARVO is their best friend. And that's what Coach Shouty is there in Congress to do, to obstruct, bloviate and just be a general thorn in the side of America.
Any truth to what I heard about Gym being in the Epstein files? Just askin’.
It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
you said bloviate HA! HA!
Would somebody please wrestle Gym Jordan’s neck free of oxygen? Then cremate the fuckstain so that he doesn’t have to wear a suit coat.
There was a Smith, name of Jack
Who ripped through these tired old hacks
"The orange one's lying
The GOP's dying
So please get the hell off my back!"
Please subscribe to my Substack! (Hope you don't mind me saying that, Mr. Tiedrich.)
Awesome, Frosty! Here's one circling back to the reason for all this distraction fuckery:
When resisted he turns all testy
His personal lawyers he likes chesty
He has no grace and tact
And runs from the fact
That for years he was Jeffrey's Bestie
You guys are awesome!! 🤣🤣
Thank you and so are you.
I LOVE IT!
Frosty, there's a lot of self promotion in this community... so WTH...
I didn't know that, so thank you.
Some folks are posting links to their pages here… I dunno. Seems like bad form to me but it doesnt seem to bother anyone else. It should be apparent in your name… 🤷🏼♀️ but I appreciate you mentioning you have a stack. 👏👏👏👏
You won us over with your wit and talent, as you will with more people
Rickrolling racists ripped down the slavery story near the Liberty Bell… as if we’ve entered the new Age of Forgetfulness.
Pepperidge Farm remembers. And so do we.
Ain’t never forgetting the cruelty of these people. Good luck, Republicans. Good luck in fucking Hell.
What I don't see on the list of signatories to the obvious cash grab joke "Board of Peace" is any nations who USED TO BE our allies.
that's a better distinction to make
11 of the countries on the BORED OF PEACE are currently banned from immigrant visas to the US. I say Bored of Peace because it seems like they are getting ready to take over the world. All the violent despots on Earth. What could go wrong?
These are ragged assed countries with large impoverished populations, plus two war-strapped criminal nations guilty of genocide (Russia and Israel). Truly the A-list of losers.
And Jared Kushner's Power Point presentation on GAZA was disturbing to say the least. They will build their empire on the ashes? There are no words.
If people are starved enough they will become soldiers. This worries me.
Netanyahu may be guilty of war crimes but NOT genocide. The only ones committing genocide was Hamas. Attacking Jews with Nazi analogies has more to do with antisemitic hate than reality.
Unless it's directed at Stephen Miller.
I agree 100%.
He met privately with Putin, who probably dominated him and scared him or promised him a gold crown. I used to think he had some scandal on him. but I dont think Trump cares anymore about scandal.
I do. His pathological narcissism means he'll do anything to preserve his image of himself. Meaning that scandal must be suppressed. Otherwise, why not release the Epstein files?
Scam + sham = scham?
The coining of a new Yiddish word!
They know it's just another grift, and presumably the "entrance fee" is going straight into Mango Mussolini's pockets, so why should they?
Exactly. The only ones coughing up dough are looking to curry favor for nefarious purposes
Touché. I hope we never will
Minus 21 here in the frozen north right now and I'm still betting there will be a good turnout in Minneapolis.
some of my friends are also making a move to minnesota this spring.
i am expecting there will be many refugees comin our way!
there are times to stand and times to fight! THIS IS THE TIME TO STAND AND FIGHT!
please don't expect US to do it by ourselves, join in, stand up, share your words.
stand with those standing for you as well!
"he’s the laziest fucksnot ever to have crapped a diaper in the Oval Bordello" 😂😂
Jack Smith is an American Hero.
It's all a bad damned dream. One sort of bright spot is how the Clintons are handling Comer Fudd's little subpoena. Wouldn't that be something if the Epstein files are forced into the light of day because of them!? 🤯
"Hey, we can't defend ourselves if we havent seen whatcha got...so show it already."
Twatwaffle's cortex is not just cooked, the motherfucker is CRISPY! He is in horrible physical and mental condition. The fuckin retrumplicans won't do a damn thing. It's just a fuckin shame
Great piece, Jeff
For all of the in your face crime and bullshit that goes on in this current timeline, we do have our heroes.
It was heartwarming to see the clip of Fanone on the verge of punching out that repulsive man who looks like the kids game, the magnetic bald guy that you cover up with hair and beards to change appearance. Too bad he didn’t get his appearance changed right there in chambers, it would’ve been 👏
Eric Swalwell really stepped up and called out his “colleagues “ for the pieces of shit that they are while heroine Jasmine Crockett thanked Jack Smith for his bravery as we all should. And of course, Jack Smith, the consummate professional, totally unshakable in the face of these idiots.
There’s your silver lining for today😁
YES! Swalwell was PERFECT! So was Jasmine...they are the ones who should be leading the Democrats, not Jeffries...he's sooooo weak.
Eric Swalwell is going to make a wonderful governor of California.
He will!!!!
Willy Wooly fuckface

bingo!!
It was a masterclass in dealing with lying hacks in Congress. And I love that he called out what they were going to do (some false charges).
Now the thing is, Maladministration 2.0 seems to have a deep bench of lolyers, even with the recent quitting of Halligan. This clownshoes lolyer fuckery is only going to stop when consequences (sanctions and contempt of court) start being assessed. Till then these creatures in Congress and in the White House know they can keep doing this, knowing they're shielded by both Murc's Law and the inbuilt deference to the unreconstructed in the political and legal systems.
Hey Jeff.. I noticed the "peace" logo only has HALF the world shown with MOST of the signers countries missing?
I caught that, yep.
and OF COURSE it was gold - representing the billions that Trump expects to rake in on this latest grift of his
