Actually, that was really funny. We know you're under a lot of pressure and we forgive everything in advance. You get a pardon in advance for all errors.
It's not a fraction as egregious as the fuckwit claiming he just signed a trade agreement with the 'EU' as he stands beside the British Prime Minister.
No worries. I made a serious boo boo recently online regarding facts on the ground about our local racist gangster thug rioters in Northern Ireland. As this remains a powder keg unfolding event and N.I. is a very small place where everyone, including active criminal paramilitaries, knows where everyone effin’ lives, not only am I still blushing days later, I am also in serious hiding.
Well, there is a Mike Waltz (spelled that way) the former National Security Adviser who looped in the Atlantic editor on the Signal chat. We can just say that's who Mike Lee was referring to.
Actually, Jeff, the proper reaction to these ridiculous variations is: “Can't these damn Krauts figure out one way to spell their names for God's sake?”
This observation is provided by Kathleen the Kraut Weber.
My husband emigrated from Germany with his family at age 8 and IS an actual 'sour' Kraut (which is what I call him when I'm especially pissed by his built-in hard-headedness), so I get it. :) OUR surname is one which is spelled several ways so I spend FAR too much time explaining that WE have 'no t' then still have to spell it out ad nauseam, but only when it matters.
The Project 2025 people told us that the transition to pure Trumpism would be nonviolent if the left would allow it to be. I guess we didn't allow it to be.
Jeff, Thank you for taking one for the team. I appreciate it. So in return of your kindness, we covered the Labor Secretary (because that butt muncher doesnt get enough media time). Trying to focus on the lesser known cabinet members because the shit they are doing is being missed by the major news media (and the shit they are doing isnt great).
Ain't it great that we live in a Country where a significant part of the polity wants everybody else dead, deported, or enslaved - just for disagreeing with those endowed with right opinion? Plato would be sad that we have not made any progress in 2400 years.
Interesting you bring up P-dog. I’m listen8ng now to the audiobook of Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy (read by the marvelous Jonathan Keeble) and have just listened to the Plato chapter. Highly recommended.
I think Mike Lee and most of the Repubbies, right up to Idiot Trump could be categorized as an ancient class of creatures known as Deuterostomes (includes both vertebrates and echinoderms).
In that class of animals is the very earliest known ancestor of humans, Saccorhytus. Saccorhytus was a bilaterally symmetrical animal with a bag-like body and a large opening that likely served as both mouth and anus. Perfect description of Trump and his many adherents.
I question whether they are 'human'. They would have to work extremely hard to convince me, especially after this AND the murder of a Samoan-American man, a designer from Project Runway watching the peaceful protest in Utah. His good friend shared the horror of his murder on Instagram since NO ONE covered it! He was killed by a bullet fired by two of the so-called 'peacekeepers' (non-official LEO's) who saw someone with an AR-15 so opened fire on him, hitting this father of two instead. So much for their ability/accuracy. His name was Afa, I believe (abbreviated from a much longer Samoan name). SOME tiny bits of coverage here and there but it needs to be screamed from the rooftops and on front pages! These monsters want blood and frump imagined it would be shed BY the MILLIONS protesting his idiocy.
I read that they're going to pin this murder by the "peacekeeper" whatever that even means now, on the guy with the AR-15, and not the "peacekeeper" who shot Afa. Because he caused the "peacekeeper" to shoot the innocent bystander. I'm nauseous.
I appreciate you curating this garbage-- and so does my husband, so he doesn't have to be interrupted by me every 10 minutes with the latest outrage. A succinct digest of atrocities, I sincerely thank you for that, sir.
Won't it be nice when someday we wake up to find that our president didn't shit out nasty tweets at 3 a.m., no classroom of children were murdered, no congressional representatives asked outrageous questions during a hearing, and nobody told an egregious lie about an easily provable fact?
Ah, the endless circus of American politics, where the theater of violence meets the farce of denial.
Two Democrats brutally murdered. A domestic terrorist with a list of targets tied to his extremist MAGA beliefs. And what does the Republican establishment do? Point fingers at "Marxists," spread conspiracy theories, and excuse the madness with performative evil louder than a banshee on steroids.
Mike Lee, you don’t know Marxism from a Marx Brothers’ comedy routine, but you’re happy to weaponize the word to gaslight and deflect. Donald Trump, our nation’s premier master of distraction and moral bankruptcy, can barely muster a real condolence before slipping into incoherent blame games. Meanwhile, the gun-lusting sheriff drools over the chance to kill anyone who breathes wrong.
This is the GOP’s daily tragedy: they stoke the flames, cheer the violence, and then act shocked when the house burns down. It’s political arson with no remorse, only PR spin and red hats.
And while the political theater distracts us, real people die. Innocent families shattered by hate and guns sold without shame.
If this is “conservative values,” sign me up for radical empathy and sanity.
My neighbor told me this morning that her parents happen to live in Green Isle where the assassin was found last night 5 minutes from her house. She saw his car and called 911. She thinks he was looking for gas. They were pretty freaked out. I don't live far from there. The fucker is not a CEO of any company. It's made up. He thought he could start a security business in the Congo. Nope, never happened. He lies. He managed convenient stores and delivered food. His last job was removing dead bodies from a funeral home. His best friend said he lives in a fantasy world. He home schooled his kids. He's a hard core white nationalist. Delusional monster. Just like the MAGA Republicans, soulless pieces of human shit.
Honest to Christ on a Saltine...MAGA Americans are vile. The Republican party is vile. Decency and compassion do not exist with these people. Mike Lee is a sick fuck.
BEST LINE: "stay classy, you infected boil on the world’s ass." 👏👏👏
unfortunately the govt thought it needed to - I'd have loved a confrontation at the airport, but it's not practical - we gotta sit down and attempt to negotiate with whatever creature the US labels as *president* and dumps on our tarmac
Which is why, no doubt, that Trump has had a venomous hatred for Trudeau since Melania & Donald met Trudeau and, Melania as you said, all but slobbered on Trudeau.
AS did his precious Ivanka! She was all googly eyes over Trudeau right behind stepmommy, which likely pissed him off even more! He's been a quivering bowl of jealous jello since he first saw just how fit and in shape Barack Obama was and is - 'and then came Justin'. Ahh. What a petty little baby man orange dickhead really is.
So two people are dead, two more gravely wounded are in the hospital and Donny couldn’t even fake giving a rat’s ass. Yet we were supposed to give a fuck over his supposed assassination attempt.
Mike Lee for the winner of today’s Internet Dumbass award.
But doesn’t the term ‘Dumbass’ give him a pass? This isn’t some frat prank. Fuck this shit - we have been trained to look away / allow them their silent complicity. I think ‘Senator’ Lee was carefully moving the ball forward for the team… very thoughtful ‘response’, indeed.
They've all demanded increased security for their own homes because, remember, Republicans project their own deadly sins and criminality onto "the Other."
Hmmmm, I may have to rethink. This happened in Lee’s district: Also, one of Mike Lee’s constituents was killed at a No Kings protest this weekend. Maybe he should try caring about that instead of being a total asshole (via Alt-Media)
I'm really surprised the MAGAverse hasn't latched on to the trigger happy woke patriot security force killed the bystander in the crossfire. Such a missed opportunity to act like fucking dicks.
Per organizers there was no such protection approved. Possible that shooter was MAGA along with guy with AR-15 supposedly being shot at when bystander was killed.
I posted about this above. They've been labeled 'peacekeepers' who saw a man with an AR-15 raise it to a 'shooter's stance'. Of course this is all a fucking LIE to cover them up for murdering a bystander and it is NOT being covered as the absolute tragedy it is! By tomorrow they will have been 'deputized'.
C'mon. This is the same guy whose administration now allows VA doctors to refuse to treat veterans who are Democrats or unmarried. I don't think many of them will take them up on that; VA medical professionals are there because they want to be there and care for veterans, period. They make much less than they would in a civilian practice and work longer hours.
ABC fired Terry Moran for a deleted tweet, but Mike Lee’s tweet remains? And speaker of the house can say that Governor Newsome should be tarred and feathered?! I can’t believe the hatred spewed from the GOP.
Thanks for all you do, Jeff. You’re keeping a lot of us sane.
I so want to be in Alberta right now screaming "felon!" and asking Carney why the fuck are we making an exception for this convicted FELON to be allowed into Canada. I'm sure his buddy Eloon can set him up for Zoom and save us all the stench. Da fuq.
slightly to the side: none of these in-person meetings (involving all the CO2 exhaust and expenses and crap - AND ESPECIALLY NOT THAT ENVIRONMENTAL MTG BEING CARVED OUT OF THE AMAZON) are necessary in today's tech world.
I don't fully agree with that. Sharing physical space communicates a lot that talking heads on screens can't replicate. Same with the limitations on phone calls. But in THIS case, yeah... I think the transparent simpleton we already know isn't capable of subtly and Zoom for him alone would be a plus for everyone.
This bad shit that these bad actors are hoisting on us everyday will end and I want them tried for crimes against humanity. I read that the military are not on Little Donnie F F’s side either,that they deliberately walked out of sync at the sham birthday parade on Saturday.This is heartening to say the least.Donnie evidently did not even have the decency to provide the soldiers participating in this event a bed to sleep making them sleep on concrete for 3 days just like he did to the National Guard in LA. What a hateful , spiteful piece of offal that is this man.smfh
Memes are circulating that Russia and North Korea are trolling Trump by showing their own crisply marching military parades vs. the POW-like slouch-by parade he actually got. But Putin's and Kim's uniformed meat puppets have no choice -- march perfectly or be tortured and shot. Our troops can still align with freedom and mostly think for themselves when confronted with totalitarianism. So suck it, borscht-farters, we're still here.
Every soldier I saw in that parade marched straight up and tall. How dare you call those soldiers being used as pawns for Dumpy's greedfest slouching POWs.
And now FF has proclaimed that the VA can refuse to treat people he doesn't like? This is my biggest WTAF moment today (so far). Maybe they'll need a loyalty oath to get treatment? I am looking forward to seeing military members' feelings about this, if it even gets covered in the US press. I read about it in The Guardian of course.
My husband is a Vietnam Vet. He has never owned a gun since we met 55 years ago. I fear he may go over the edge is this happens. I read that Guardian article also. Doug Collins, who is over the VA now, was horrible in Congress and is horrible at his new job but that is the goal, right? Strip veterans and everyone else of their right to continue to exist.
Jeff, I’m at the point of asking WTAF is happening to our country? At 73 I have never seen such violence in the political arena, with calculated killings justified by party/religious loyalty. DJT also known as the “contagion” has spread his cancer on our body politic, as predicted a number of years ago. 2nd Amendment solutions seems to be the MAGAS motto for everything they don’t care for..I could make a list but…. fellow travelers know precisely what I am speaking of…. Best to All
Drumph’s response to the Minnesota assassinations, the attempted murders and his subsequent attacks on Governor Tim Walz are reprehensible and tells us all we need to know about him with his Maga cult…Senator Mike Lee(R) Utah is a bona fide POS!
We’ve gone from daily demonic deeds from a handful of his deranged cabinet to hourly cruelty by every Repugnicon. Soulless creatures, the entire lot of them.
Meanwhile, ConOld further embarrasses us at the G7. Oh to joy.
Lawrence O'Donnell tonight covered most of it: first he read a letter by (I believe) Tina Smith's right-hand(?) TO those who work for mike lee. I'm unsure if he read the entire letter. 'Twas a thing of beauty though, filled with the writer's own deep sadness at the loss of Melissa and her husband (they'd all been together just a few hours earlier) and then asking why they'd post 'jokes' about this awful tragedy? Then Lawrence told those who worked for Lee that IF they didn't agree with their boss they knew what they must do. As of air time there'd been ZERO response from Lee's office. 2) He showed frump blathering outside the G7 while attempting to hold open a folder to show the cameras several pages inside (presumably a signed agreement?) - most of which promptly fell out onto the ground. It flashed in my mind that he looked exactly like Baby Hughie as he scrambled to pick them up - what a sight! OF the Agreement he'd just signed WITH (as this fucking embarrassment claimed) 'the EU', as the British Prime Minister stood quietly by simply watching the dumb klutzy fool misidentify him. Btw, HE can't sign a trade agreement without Congress and of course he had the wrong guy - again!
Yes, Brian and Sly, both artistic polymaths who struggled in life at times, who created a fountain of brilliantly wonderful art, both age 82, each passed away last week, 2 days apart. RIP *2.
Recommend these 2 documentaries by ?uestlove to go deeper into the rabbit hole of Sly’s brilliance.
Just like The Kinks are the OGs of Punk Rock, Sly and the Family Stone are the OGs of Funk, and the forerunners of Prince. Much of the very great stuff was invented in the 1960s.
Infected boil on the world’s ass is the most accurate description of him ever and deserves an acronym. I guess IBOWA would work unless someone here can tweak it, maybe add a word or two.
He is an embarrassment to humankind. If there were a god, they should be embarrassed for having assembled the genetics, upbringing and mentorships that created the orange painted monstrosity that currently occupies the American people’s White House.
The 🍊jackass and his goons can f**k all the way off. Also, Senator Mike Lee and US Representative MTG can f**k all the way off. What a bunch of sick f**ks here in our country. Kudos to the hero of the day!
And if that wasn't a page right out of Noem's book of atrocities. You've got to watch those Democrat dogs. This shitshow is getting really old.
Wasn't the reaction of the Horror of the 2nd Term heartwarming? Two people murdered in their home, two severely injured in THEIR HOME. And all he can say is Tim Walz is a terrible governor? I hope the Canadians escort him right out of their country. I wish we could escort him out of our lives.
It'd be funny if the Canadians arrested that piece of shit for being in the country illegally, cuffed him, threw him in a van, and drove him to an airport while telling him they were shipping him off to prison in some random country. I don't think he'd have brought enough diapers for THAT.
Oh, nobody would have to take him. Just go through those motions and let him go away squealing at the end of the play, so he'd have an idea what it feels like for everyone else he's fucked with.
I had heard that he shot the dog, but I hadn't heard whether it survived. I'm sorry it didn't. Obviously, I'm even more sorry that Mr. and Mrs. Hortman were killed. I forget which woman it was who was shot while protecting her daughter. That poor girl may never recover either, even if she wasn't physically hurt.
This is a gutwrentching post, and yet I snort-laughed and ugly-cried at the Wizard of Oz reference. Jeff, you are the Samuel Langhorne Clemens of our times.
CORRECTION! it's TIM Walz, not MIKE Walz.
the WORST typo is the one you make while criticizing someone else's typo, and now I'm guilty of that.
anyway, it's been corrected on the web version, so you can all stop letting me know. thanks.
Actually, that was really funny. We know you're under a lot of pressure and we forgive everything in advance. You get a pardon in advance for all errors.
Just not a Presidential Pardon. You haven't committed enough crimes to qualify.
There’s a Mike WALTZ, amirite? Easy to mix up
It's not a fraction as egregious as the fuckwit claiming he just signed a trade agreement with the 'EU' as he stands beside the British Prime Minister.
No worries. I made a serious boo boo recently online regarding facts on the ground about our local racist gangster thug rioters in Northern Ireland. As this remains a powder keg unfolding event and N.I. is a very small place where everyone, including active criminal paramilitaries, knows where everyone effin’ lives, not only am I still blushing days later, I am also in serious hiding.
Wow. I thought the troubles were over. Be careful out there.
Thanks so much ! Like any post conflict communities, the scars of state violence often continue to bleed through other neglected societal injustices. This is a good article on the politics behind the most recent eruption of violence. Extreme British Unionists having much in common with MAGA: https://www.irishnews.com/opinion/chris-donnelly-race-riots-reflect-unionisms-identity-crisis-I4BMNFSAQ5A5TIKOYZ5YCAGPWM/
Oh no! I didn't know either (and one would think I would given that I'm originally from Glasgow), but please stay safe! Keep checking in. Hugs!
Stay safe!!!
Happens to all of us, it's the curse of publishing!
Well, there is a Mike Waltz (spelled that way) the former National Security Adviser who looped in the Atlantic editor on the Signal chat. We can just say that's who Mike Lee was referring to.
Actually, Jeff, the proper reaction to these ridiculous variations is: “Can't these damn Krauts figure out one way to spell their names for God's sake?”
This observation is provided by Kathleen the Kraut Weber.
My husband emigrated from Germany with his family at age 8 and IS an actual 'sour' Kraut (which is what I call him when I'm especially pissed by his built-in hard-headedness), so I get it. :) OUR surname is one which is spelled several ways so I spend FAR too much time explaining that WE have 'no t' then still have to spell it out ad nauseam, but only when it matters.
Actually, I think there are 20 different ways to spell your name. I don't envy you!
Years ago I stopped trying to count the number of ways I'd seen my last name (Cain) spelled. It may have been "O'Quayne" that put me over the edge.
Well, you could tell people “Just like the murderer.” But I don't think that would work either.
I didn’t even notice.
I made a mistake once too.
One little mistake in 20 gazillion posts and no one will let you live it down!!😂😂😂
I really didn't want to write about this, but some days you're forced to play the hand that the news deals you
The Project 2025 people told us that the transition to pure Trumpism would be nonviolent if the left would allow it to be. I guess we didn't allow it to be.
“I’ll stop hitting you if you let me hit you.”
In the workplace, it's "The beatings will continue until morale improves."
Now, it’s “the beatings will continue until you accept Rump as King”.
Uh, no!
Unfortunately most of us remember that bit of vapid fuckery Kathleen!!
No, it’s not our fault at all!
Basically, if we let them bully us, then it’ll all be okay??
No!
Jeff, Thank you for taking one for the team. I appreciate it. So in return of your kindness, we covered the Labor Secretary (because that butt muncher doesnt get enough media time). Trying to focus on the lesser known cabinet members because the shit they are doing is being missed by the major news media (and the shit they are doing isnt great).

As always jeff, Liked, Restacked, Quoted, and Cross Posted. Its the least I can do.
Major news media is missing (intentionally) ALL the shit they are doing! I agree with your post Wendy-they are all failed political appointments!
I know. Good on ya for tackling it. It’s hard to accept the way these humans are behaving.
Ain't it great that we live in a Country where a significant part of the polity wants everybody else dead, deported, or enslaved - just for disagreeing with those endowed with right opinion? Plato would be sad that we have not made any progress in 2400 years.
“Dear America: You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3, while 1/3 watches.”

Life is cheap as the world population speeds beyond 8.2 billion. It is unsustainable on a planet with finite resources.
Interesting you bring up P-dog. I’m listen8ng now to the audiobook of Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy (read by the marvelous Jonathan Keeble) and have just listened to the Plato chapter. Highly recommended.
I loved my Philosophy course in College. Still read it from time to time.
Of course, Russell was just a terrific writer. Every one of his collections of essays is sublime.
My intro to him was his classic ‘Why I Am Not a Christian’.
Check out that audiobook. It’s an all-day sucker of stimulating ideas. And so well-spoken. Holds my attention. Which ain’t easy.
Thanks! Will do.
Nice Platorism play Stephen!!
Humans?
🎯There isn’t a word to describe them
I think Mike Lee and most of the Repubbies, right up to Idiot Trump could be categorized as an ancient class of creatures known as Deuterostomes (includes both vertebrates and echinoderms).
In that class of animals is the very earliest known ancestor of humans, Saccorhytus. Saccorhytus was a bilaterally symmetrical animal with a bag-like body and a large opening that likely served as both mouth and anus. Perfect description of Trump and his many adherents.
Thank you for this. I'd already posted before reading your description. Perfect!
Cretins.
💞👏🏻💞👏🏻💞👏🏻
Yeah, I am hard pressed to accept their humanity, Charles, or better yet, lack thereof.
Yeah. Typing that gave me pause. But what can you do? I usually employ homunculus but didn’t want to seems two edjicated.
Exactly Charles!!
I question whether they are 'human'. They would have to work extremely hard to convince me, especially after this AND the murder of a Samoan-American man, a designer from Project Runway watching the peaceful protest in Utah.

So much for their ability/accuracy. His name was Afa, I believe (abbreviated from a much longer Samoan name). SOME tiny bits of coverage here and there but it needs to be screamed from the rooftops and on front pages! These monsters want blood and frump imagined it would be shed BY the MILLIONS protesting his idiocy.
Sorry to say, the only mention of this heinous murder was here on another Substack Elizabeth!!
Afa was a contestant on Season 17 of Project Runway. I don’t remember him specifically. Here’s a link to one story about him, but there are others: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-16/samoan-fashion-designer-utah-protest-shooting/105421034. What a shame.
I read that they're going to pin this murder by the "peacekeeper" whatever that even means now, on the guy with the AR-15, and not the "peacekeeper" who shot Afa. Because he caused the "peacekeeper" to shoot the innocent bystander. I'm nauseous.

Gonna start a GoFundMe to raise money to hire someone to kick Mike Lee in the dick on the hour 24/7 until he croaks.
Send me that link and I'll contribute.
Ditto
Me too!
I’d contribute also, plus pay-for-view options should be considered.
Lately I feel like an awful person for wishing harm to others, but I’ll get over it.
Love that Eagles song, “Get Over It”
Same here...I'm already over it. 😂😂
How do I contribute?
Send me that link and I'll volunteer to be the kicker
I’ll be the one wearing steel toed boots. JK. Maybe.
Nice, I’ll be the first to donate Alison!!
Honest to Christ on a Saltine...MAGA Americans are vile. The Republican party is vile. Decency and compassion do not exist with these people. Mike Lee is a sick fuck.
BEST LINE: "stay classy, you infected boil on the world’s ass." 👏👏👏
I hate it here. 🙄
I thought felons were not allowed in Canada ?
Carney needs to arrest yam tits and deport him to a prison cell in the Hague
unfortunately the govt thought it needed to - I'd have loved a confrontation at the airport, but it's not practical - we gotta sit down and attempt to negotiate with whatever creature the US labels as *president* and dumps on our tarmac
I thought that was why Justin Trudeau had to come to the White House to meet with
T💩p.
Is Melanie scheduled to appear and drool over Trudeau once again?
Which is why, no doubt, that Trump has had a venomous hatred for Trudeau since Melania & Donald met Trudeau and, Melania as you said, all but slobbered on Trudeau.
AS did his precious Ivanka! She was all googly eyes over Trudeau right behind stepmommy, which likely pissed him off even more! He's been a quivering bowl of jealous jello since he first saw just how fit and in shape Barack Obama was and is - 'and then came Justin'. Ahh. What a petty little baby man orange dickhead really is.
Mark Carney is the PM now. Not sure if Justin will be there
I think that was from the first go round with TACO don.
But if he’s not there in a political sense he could be there in a social sense😉
I was wondering about that too!
Same Dave!!
So two people are dead, two more gravely wounded are in the hospital and Donny couldn’t even fake giving a rat’s ass. Yet we were supposed to give a fuck over his supposed assassination attempt.

EVERY CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICAN should have a microphone in their face demanding a statement.
They've all demanded increased security for their own homes because, remember, Republicans project their own deadly sins and criminality onto "the Other."
But their 'statements' would simply be 'tots and pears'.....

Thanks for all you do, Jeff. You’re keeping a lot of us sane.
Double irony because Moran’s sin was pointing out that Miller and Trump are haters.
Actually, Mike Lee deleted his tweet. Fortunately, there are screenshots all over the place so he can’t deny it.
I so want to be in Alberta right now screaming "felon!" and asking Carney why the fuck are we making an exception for this convicted FELON to be allowed into Canada. I'm sure his buddy Eloon can set him up for Zoom and save us all the stench. Da fuq.

The Army did an awesome job. I'm so proud of them for their silent protest. Bravo!
This was the perfect icing on the cake that was NOT Donnie's birthday cake.
👏👏👏
Memes are circulating that Russia and North Korea are trolling Trump by showing their own crisply marching military parades vs. the POW-like slouch-by parade he actually got. But Putin's and Kim's uniformed meat puppets have no choice -- march perfectly or be tortured and shot. Our troops can still align with freedom and mostly think for themselves when confronted with totalitarianism. So suck it, borscht-farters, we're still here.
Every soldier I saw in that parade marched straight up and tall. How dare you call those soldiers being used as pawns for Dumpy's greedfest slouching POWs.
You are joking, right? Or not?
And now FF has proclaimed that the VA can refuse to treat people he doesn't like? This is my biggest WTAF moment today (so far). Maybe they'll need a loyalty oath to get treatment? I am looking forward to seeing military members' feelings about this, if it even gets covered in the US press. I read about it in The Guardian of course.
My husband is a Vietnam Vet. He has never owned a gun since we met 55 years ago. I fear he may go over the edge is this happens. I read that Guardian article also. Doug Collins, who is over the VA now, was horrible in Congress and is horrible at his new job but that is the goal, right? Strip veterans and everyone else of their right to continue to exist.
Yes, they are trying to deny everyone's humanity and get people discouraged and afraid. There are more of us than there are of them.
I hadn’t heard that yet. It will be a story Vets are a large group of sick, wounded and old they should revolt against this regime.
It's the top post in The Guardian today but so far in no other major press.
Jeff, I’m at the point of asking WTAF is happening to our country? At 73 I have never seen such violence in the political arena, with calculated killings justified by party/religious loyalty. DJT also known as the “contagion” has spread his cancer on our body politic, as predicted a number of years ago. 2nd Amendment solutions seems to be the MAGAS motto for everything they don’t care for..I could make a list but…. fellow travelers know precisely what I am speaking of…. Best to All
Drumph’s response to the Minnesota assassinations, the attempted murders and his subsequent attacks on Governor Tim Walz are reprehensible and tells us all we need to know about him with his Maga cult…Senator Mike Lee(R) Utah is a bona fide POS!
We’ve gone from daily demonic deeds from a handful of his deranged cabinet to hourly cruelty by every Repugnicon. Soulless creatures, the entire lot of them.
Meanwhile, ConOld further embarrasses us at the G7. Oh to joy.
At least we can take pleasure in the fact that they will shun him as if he were a leper. Unclean! Unclean!
Hey, at least we have Jeff to ease the pain and embarrassment he’ll inflict upon us at the G7
That event will probably yield a lot of material for Jeff. No doubt.
Lawrence O'Donnell tonight covered most of it: first he read a letter by (I believe) Tina Smith's right-hand(?) TO those who work for mike lee. I'm unsure if he read the entire letter. 'Twas a thing of beauty though, filled with the writer's own deep sadness at the loss of Melissa and her husband (they'd all been together just a few hours earlier) and then asking why they'd post 'jokes' about this awful tragedy? Then Lawrence told those who worked for Lee that IF they didn't agree with their boss they knew what they must do. As of air time there'd been ZERO response from Lee's office. 2) He showed frump blathering outside the G7 while attempting to hold open a folder to show the cameras several pages inside (presumably a signed agreement?) - most of which promptly fell out onto the ground. It flashed in my mind that he looked exactly like Baby Hughie as he scrambled to pick them up - what a sight! OF the Agreement he'd just signed WITH (as this fucking embarrassment claimed) 'the EU', as the British Prime Minister stood quietly by simply watching the dumb klutzy fool misidentify him. Btw, HE can't sign a trade agreement without Congress and of course he had the wrong guy - again!
As a loyal American, I still wish every other G7 leader would refuse to talk to him because he's a a) felon; b) bully, c) ignoramus; d) asshole.
"ConOld" is now on The List. Thank you for your contribution!
Thank you, Mary! I read or heard it somewhere on a podcast, so I am not the creator. I agree it's a good one!
Melissa Hortman, Sly Stone, Brian Wilson... the WRONG people are dying.
I didn’t hear about Sly Stone😞
Yes, Brian and Sly, both artistic polymaths who struggled in life at times, who created a fountain of brilliantly wonderful art, both age 82, each passed away last week, 2 days apart. RIP *2.
Recommend these 2 documentaries by ?uestlove to go deeper into the rabbit hole of Sly’s brilliance.

Thank you for the info 😎
My husband went to high school with his brother, Freddy. They were at Vallejo High School in the same PE class.
Just like The Kinks are the OGs of Punk Rock, Sly and the Family Stone are the OGs of Funk, and the forerunners of Prince. Much of the very great stuff was invented in the 1960s.
Infected boil on the world’s ass is the most accurate description of him ever and deserves an acronym. I guess IBOWA would work unless someone here can tweak it, maybe add a word or two.
He is an embarrassment to humankind. If there were a god, they should be embarrassed for having assembled the genetics, upbringing and mentorships that created the orange painted monstrosity that currently occupies the American people’s White House.
clearly there is no god - but the devil? possibly
Hey God don’t you think we have suffered enough of boil ass? Do your job!!!
IBOWA sounds a lot like Ebola, so it's perfect!
It’s perfect. Well done. Like RFK Jr’s face in the air fryer.
The 🍊jackass and his goons can f**k all the way off. Also, Senator Mike Lee and US Representative MTG can f**k all the way off. What a bunch of sick f**ks here in our country. Kudos to the hero of the day!
Thanks, Jeff. The Hortman’s dog was killed, too :/
And if that wasn't a page right out of Noem's book of atrocities. You've got to watch those Democrat dogs. This shitshow is getting really old.
Wasn't the reaction of the Horror of the 2nd Term heartwarming? Two people murdered in their home, two severely injured in THEIR HOME. And all he can say is Tim Walz is a terrible governor? I hope the Canadians escort him right out of their country. I wish we could escort him out of our lives.
It'd be funny if the Canadians arrested that piece of shit for being in the country illegally, cuffed him, threw him in a van, and drove him to an airport while telling him they were shipping him off to prison in some random country. I don't think he'd have brought enough diapers for THAT.
I can't think of a random country that would take him. Maybe Qatar but I doubt it.
Well the penguins are pretty pissed off with the tariffs. I can see it now, yam tits trampled by homosexual penquins.
Oh, the UAR would take him. They would have a matched set then. Jared and DJT.
Oh, nobody would have to take him. Just go through those motions and let him go away squealing at the end of the play, so he'd have an idea what it feels like for everyone else he's fucked with.
Be still my heart. Deported to an island of pissed off penguins, maybe with a bunch of grumpy walruses, just to make it a fair fight.
alas, we Canadians will play nice...and keep on boycotting
You Canadians are such civilized people. I kinda envy that. I hate living in a 24 hour a day zoo.
I hadn't heard that.... JFC. 😭
I had heard that he shot the dog, but I hadn't heard whether it survived. I'm sorry it didn't. Obviously, I'm even more sorry that Mr. and Mrs. Hortman were killed. I forget which woman it was who was shot while protecting her daughter. That poor girl may never recover either, even if she wasn't physically hurt.
Nor I... We are living in a grotesque timeline.
Me neither 😢😢😪😪
Well, of course , MAGA hates Man & womans BEST FREINDS.
RIP Gilbert
Where was Krusty Gnome when the doggo was killed?
❤️🩹
I'm putting a generic question out here: How do I get emojis on Substack? Sorry for out of context but I'm a supreme dumbass.
😪😪😪😪
This is a gutwrentching post, and yet I snort-laughed and ugly-cried at the Wizard of Oz reference. Jeff, you are the Samuel Langhorne Clemens of our times.
