And I read every one ….ANGRY! WTF….PUT THAT DUMBSHIT IN FUCKING JAIL! (I know it’s Easter…I shouldn’t swear….but I am SICK of him getting away with EVERY GD THING!)

Expand full comment

Honestly I'd tell you how I'd LIKE to celebrate Easter, but the Secret Service would show up if I did that.

I'm still half-tempted just so I can ask them to their shitty faces why they didn't go after the ACTUALLY dangerous fuck first. And we'll know if they have because he'll be bitching about his first amendment rights being taken away.

I sent a request to the Secret Service that they investigate this truck decal shit. Sent the request in yesterday….no response to date, which doesn’t necessarily surprise me. God only knows how many agents they have tied up, dealing with complaints about the TrumpenFuhrer. Here’s the Addy for the Secret Service tip line:

Sent my request in now for the truck driver and the former guy to be investigated.

Expand full comment

Just sent in my tip, too. Here is what I said (and jeez, I hope they don’t show up at my door as I have to work tomorrow.).

Hopefully by now you are aware of the picture of a hogtied President Biden on a Trump endorsed pickup truck tailgate. Do you plan to investigate? I have attached a copy for you as this is what the public is seeing all over the internet. The threat of dj trump have gone way beyond what is tolerable to the public. Please arrest these people, including trump, put them in jail and throw away the key. Perhaps the prison in Siberia would be suitable? Thank you.

William, Thank you for the email address to the Secret Service. This is an outrage. I wrote.

Considering Jeff's community logged on, wrote, and got Ronna fired from NBC - she didn't even have a chance to pick out new curtains - the power of the pen still matters.

Thank you! I sent an email to that address requesting action be taken!

good. and I can imagine there are hundreds if not thousands of others like you who send in complaints to SS about criminal tRump every time he crosses a line..and the fact we never hear about them taking any level of action on those complaints in any meaningful way is a bit frustrating....but if someone threatens dear leader, boy oh boy does it make front pages headlines.

Where the fuck is Merritt Garland?? He's more worried about his own goddamn image than prosecuting this ass crack fuckery. Somebody with a bag of weed in South Dakota could get 5 yrs in jail. Justice is doesn't exist. Fear is winning. Sheep fucking cowards that will not hold him accountable. All the while Agent Orange flips everyone off.

Expand full comment

Garland is a Republican and a member of the Federalist Society and Biden was obviously snookered into appointing him. Garland never had any intention of prosecuting Trump until the 1/6 Committee shamed him into it, but he's still dragging his feet with respect to Trump's enablers, particularly those in Congress. I hope that once Biden is re-elected Garland will be summarily fired and we will get a real AG who is committed to the rule of law.

I forgot he was a member of the Federalist klan. Well, that says a lot.

I absolutely agree. Garland has to go. It's not just that he didn't do his job. It's that it is the most important in America. By his inaction Garland is willfully letting Trump and his mob destroy our democracy.

Expand full comment

A day in solitary for each thing he does. Starting now. These judges need to take Behavior modification classes. Forget just telling him some vague stuff, people who are disturbed need consequences made concrete. For each thing he does, or one of his supporters does based on an idea he gave them online or in words he said in a speech, he spends a day in solitary. That is a 24 hour day, not an 8 hour work day! Anyone who does not jail him as of right now, is part of the same problem that Trump is. As a teacher with administration too cowed by parents money to ever stand up to them I had to stand up to amoral children all of the time, and that is because they would have tortured their classmates if I did not. Clear, clear consequences, and no letting certain things slide. Of course, one has to let some things slide. But not the most important behaviors you want to change like 1) stealing secret government documents having to do with national security, and 2) threatening people with violence!

That’s why the criming continues- no consequences for ANYONE at the top. Not the Congressional traitors, not for Mark Meadows, not for tRump

I totally agree that DJ Shitweasel should be put in a cosy little jail cell for the numerous breaches of his bail conditions, but there's the law of unintended consequences to consider which I think he's pushing for...he would be a martyr and the publicity would incense those followers (who have the IQ of a rotten log) to get up on their hind legs and start screaming about injustice!!! It's what he wants to happen!

Expand full comment

As an experienced teacher I would say that in the beginning that might be the effect, but locking up the people who try to follow through on his actions along with Treacherous-treasonous-traitorous-tantruming-Trump would be a deterrent after a while of consistent application. The important thing is to let them scream. If they do anything more than scream, lock them up too.

If people are offended by what you wrote, they should hear the stream of vitriol echoing in my mind regarding Trump getting away with it. This is long past agreements, tradition and institutions - it's been long past that since the immediate pre-election and post-election bullshit began in 2020. Cries of a rigged election. A mentally unbalanced 2-legged crustacean in Trump getting that many votes is frightening, if not downright dangerous. Then Jan 6, our first non-peaceful transfer of power... Trump would rather break America than admit, even to himself, that he lost. His pathologies will not suddenly clear up on their own. Trump needs psychiatric care in a controlled environment; That's either prison or a psych hospital. Otherwise, this will not end well.

There are various theories I've heard to pinpoint when people started to be true assholes, but one is the start of Reagonomics, when the rich got richer and the rest of us got poorer. Resentment of "the other" fueled hate and racism. I maintain a large chunk of our society is so primitive and tribal... Republicans have worked hard to dismantle education and healthcare, to keep the masses stupid and unhealthy. If we don't vote these people out... we're doomed.

Expand full comment

Powerful rich men (mostly white) have been relying on and manipulating primitive and tribal and ignorant poor men (mostly white) since the days the first land was stolen from Native Americans and the first slave ship arrived on shore. This current outpouring of cruel, violent ignorance seems unusual but I think it is not. It is latent and currently acute because of 40 years of insane greed among a few and resulting wealth disparity, among other things. I hope we can contain it this time without a war, but contain it we must. I think November is going to be a big step in the right direction, but vigilance is always needed.

People were assholes in the Fifties, but things got worse after the passage of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, the first big protests against the Vietnam War, and the start of the women's movement.

I attempted to call the Secret Service at this phone number and couldn’t even locate a message box anywhere. Maybe I will just email them … this needs to be acted on.

Pressure worked on NBC, let’s call the Secret Service everyday

I got the number from Google. Going to try tomorrow and I will post about my experience. Thank you for trying!

I believe most of his threats are not so veiled threats for future jurors on his trials. It's also witness intimidation. I wish the fat mother fucker would fucking die NOW.

Careful..... the Secret Service WILL investigate any anti-trump speech if its brought to his attention and he tells them to.....remember we live in America with its two-tiered justice system!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate and Happy Trans Day of Visibility. The MAGA lunatics blame Biden for the ruckus (🙄) that caused even though Easter Sundays change continuously while the Trans Day of Visibility has been March 31 for YEARS.

Nothing short of death will stop him unless the media stops making money off of him. I watched clips this morning from last night’s SNL show and Collin Jost and Michael Che are still making fun of President Biden’s age and supposed infirmities. It’s heartbreaking. A second Trump presidency will shut them down along with every other comedian and journalist. Look at Putin!

But…

Money today. YOLO. Don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter. They’re all the same. It won’t affect me.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

I get extremely agitated watching SNL these days because of the pot shots being taken at President Biden. I'm going to send an email to SNL and let them.know what a disservice they're doing to our country. It might sound corny, but they need to STOP IT.

I understand that it worked on Jon Stewart recently and he backed off of belittling President Biden. Worth a try.

Demanding absolute fealty ain’t gonna happen. And I didn’t watch the whole show last night to measure even-handedness, but they are given trump plenty of shit too. https://youtu.be/RxhwjPgJGbU?si=LPqzw9NVumMvWG1t

That's just lazy writing because they've got nothing else to hit him on.

Yes. And everyone knows a comedian can’t poke fun at A unless they also poke fun at B. I’m sure that’s written down in the ‘How to Be Funny’ handbook. Right? Sure.

Not to be taken seriously, just blowing off steam at SNL.

The ‘too old’ joke is beyond tired and SO last month. Have the SNL writers run out of topics?

Really! They’ve been aiming at a pretty unsophisticated audience for some time now. Have they reached Fox News level of humor yet? I haven’t been able to make myself watch anymore except for the Jost/Che clips on YouTube and they’re just not funny lately.

This may be my favorite episode of your column ever! Thank you for driving the nails jnto the wrists of the bullshit media. Thank you for holding public officials accountable. Thank you for the foul language, it is wholly appropriate!

As each day goes by, Trump’s desperation becomes more desperate, his insanity becomes more insane, and his derangement becomes more deranged. Which member of the DOJ is going to tell this despicable piece of shit that threats aren’t protected under the First Amendment, and put him away until his trials? The continued and worsening behavior by this nut job, and the acceptance and support of it by so many brain dead Americans has become surreal. Every time I think we’ve hit rock bottom, we find another basement. I no longer have any words to describe how I feel.

Expand full comment

i'm with you. this is happening because he's running for president and the DOJ and judges don't want to look political. fuck that, how did it work out for the country when Moscow Mitch threatened Obama when Obama wanted the trump/russia investigation to be made public? Obama backed down so he wouldn't look like he wasn't using it to benefit Hillary. And now the country is living in a nightmare.

You’re absolutely right. But at some point they need to stop worrying about looking biased and do their damn jobs.

If one can’t get away with falsely yelling “FIRE” in a movie theater, isn’t the horrific tailgate depiction of a hog-tied sitting President the same? If the same dips*** called the White House switchboard and verbally described the same offensive visual, is that the same? It’s a visual threat. The authorities should treat it similarly as they would treat a verbal threat. It happened to Kathy Griffin, so what makes “-“(45) different?

I don’t know. I’ve honestly never seen anything like this.

Read Chris Quinn's editorial and nearly cried. How tragic that our once robust free press has been reduced to sniveling "both sides" horseshit, and that one brave dissenter standing up for the actual truthful reality of the situation is enough to reduce me to tears.

When you enter american territory there was (still is?) a question on the form to be filled by all visitors (except maybe the ultra wealthy landing with their private jets). Something like : Do you plan to hurt / (kill?) the president? And NO authority in all the country is going after von trump and his moronic maga cultists followers? If this is not discrimination and a “passe-droit” for potenitial criminals what is it? Secret service, legal system are therefore accomplices of the rise of fascism. Shameful. They MUST act now. Pew!
