I dont think anyone actually knows who or what Amy Gleason does. Or why she does what shes doing for that matter. I was considering doing a write up on her, but I cant actually find enough "relevant" information to actually report on her or what she does. Which suggests that its nothing.
Im trying to do a workup on her. And I just cant get anymore relative information as to what she does for DOGE other than what Wikipedia and a few outside sources suggest. So Ill keep digging until I get something good. And then run it.
Today Judd Legume posted how much the DOGE fucks are supposed to be earning. It says,
"To cover the salaries of 20 of its employees, DOGE is requesting the Office of Personnel Management pay it more than $4 million through July of next year. That works out to $189,950 per person for 17 and a half months of work."
I believe she was in charge of Data Services, the infotech office that Trump rechristened DOGE because he couldn't create an agency out of nothing. Almost all the original Data Services staffers have resigned in disgust.
Today Olga Lautman, Dean Blondell and Zev Shalev were saying that Trump is acting like a big asshole because of nukes. Now, that Trump is on the other side together with Russia, China and North Korea they have like 11,000+ nukes, while countries like France, India, Britain, Pakistan have like 900+ nukes. They point out 2 things. all you need it one nuke because that is it! Therefore these nukes are not really the threat they think they are. They also point out that Russian nukes are probably in the shitty shape that their tanks and other equipment are, and as Olga said, will probably fire a Siberia. They point out that when the American people get fed up with Trump, the nukes are not designed to work in close range like that.
I am still waiting for Dems to start drafting bills that protect us from each and every thing in Project 2025 and that Musk is doing, and to be coming out with these each day and trying to get them presented, but making sure to get them into the press.
I just called 3 Dems who voted with the Republicans to censure Al Green to let them know how disappointed I am with this action.I’m going to work my way down the list and contact all 10 of them.
I'm also sending them a strongly worded FUCK YOU! Al Green takes his job seriously and does it well -- he ALWAYS steps up. He even left the hospital a day after major surgery in a wheelchair to save a critical vote last year, and he deserves WAY more respect than the Dem hierarchy gives him. Texas has little enough actual representation.
Here is the list of Dems who voted to censure Rep Al Green…they cannot be trusted anymore!
Ami Bera (CA), Ed Case (HI), Jim Costa (CA), Laura Gillan (NY), Jim Himes (CT), Chrissy Houlahan (PA), Marcy Kaptur (OH), Jared Moskowitz (FL), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Tom Suozzi (NY)
I used to live in Rep. Bera's district in the Sacramento area. Had respect for him and his work but why the hell would he be on the GOP side of this vote? Makes no damn sense.
I know many of his supporters are reluctant to oppose him because of fear for their careers and/or the safety of their families. Don't know how accurate this is but we've seen some of the ongoing revenge. It seems to me that there are enough cajones out there to make a difference. But maybe not. God bless the Al Greens and Jack Smiths of this world.
I called them yesterday. They're all split up in their little bubbles. Moderate Democrats had a meeting on Wednesday. They want the lefty leftists to shut the fuck up. They're apparently trying to get a cohesive message out for working people.
Please say which Democrats voted to censure Al Green. I didn’t know this! I will contact the chicken-shit bastards immediately. I was mad before, but now……hell hath no furry.
Amy was on vacation when she was “put in charge of DOGE” and no idea what reporters were asking her. Truly a shit show and the big boss Putin is so pleased. 🤬
Someone told me to put on backpack and walk into Canada to live there.
When Ukrainians needed refuge, Europe opened its arms and homes to them.
If Americans try to leave the US, the response is going to be "Whoah! Three questions first - Do you have a red hat with writing on it? Who won the 2020 election? And do magnets work if they get wet?"
The quickest, easiest, and most affordable country to seek residency in Europe, Portugal has the lowest income requirement on the continent. While the number isn’t set, it’s based on the country’s minimum wage, which is 903 euros (about $950) as of January 2025.
YES! And their healthcare is very good. There is a Substack writer...I think it's called Our Portugal Journey...and it's very informative. There is a vibrant expat community there and she offered to meet up with me. I'm looking a year at a time. Ive never been ANYWHERE outside of the US and hope to get my first immersion into International travel with a friend in a couple of weeks. Before I'm way too old, I need to see and experience things!
Like I told you in another conversation, my friends lived in Porto, Portugal for three years and LOVED it! They met many new friends and traveled all over Europe from Portugal. A number of years ago I met a young veterinarian finishing her studies here and she invited me to visit her in Porto. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go at the time.
I’ve visited all over Europe and loved it, but I was always happy to go home to the US. I don’t think I’d feel that way now. 😭
I’m jealous, Susan. Again, please tell me all about it when you get back.
Oh I will definitely stay in touch with you. I'm ready to test my travel abilities beyond driving cross country as I do! I know where every ladies room is between NE Missouri and Philadelphia. 😂😂
😂 I would donate to their cause to give a big middle finger to this monstrous administration. Americans take for granted they are welcome everywhere. I'd tell the US to fk off if I were a Canadian.
Yup, considering there are few adults in the Dump/Smuk inercircle of dimwits and dumbshits. In the meantime, another clear and present danger are those half ass, shitty rockets that keep blowing up at a price of who knows how much a day. Time to give NASA more funding and cut off Space X, the real Ponzi scheme.
Good idea but impossible to implement while Elon controls the Treasury payment system. He can cut checks for rockets and stop funding food for hungry kids. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop him. Well, Donnie could but Elon owns Donnie.
I’m sorry, but this nonsense about the democrats hiding under rocks is not justified. They may not be doing what you would like, but seriously, what is it you want? Some people complain that Congressman Green was too animated. Some people complain that members were asked to be silent, and of course, I’ll admit, I thought holding up paddles was just lame. But within congress, the minority party have few options. They can attempt to work behind the scenes as those GOP senators and representatives that grow increasingly uncomfortable with the shit show. Senators can grill nominees in the hopes of embarrassing their GOP colleagues (tho they largely seem beyond embarrassment.) And of course, if some legislation actually makes it out of the House and to the Senate floor, then they can engage in whatever procedural gimmicks may be available, culminating with the filibuster. But might I remind of how often the filibuster actually prevented the GOP from doing what it damn well pleased?
The real action is in the streets, in the stock market, the job market and in the courts. So, feel free to criticize Democratic leaders, but you better be making your objections known to your delegation, boycotting MAGA friendly corporations (and cutting back anywhere you can…) and protesting whenever the opportunity presents itself.
What do I want??? I want them to speak out. I want a more organized, and VOCAL, attempt at communication to the public about what's really happening. A daily presser perhaps? Secretary Pete has been mentioned often to do such an event. Jasmine Crockett and AOC are leading the way in speaking out, dispelling the many lies and attempts of the GOP to ruin this country. The majority of Dems are silent. I'm well aware they are the minority now...but that doesnt mean they stay quiet. The public needs to hear from them.
Am I making my objections known? Oh, hell yes.
Am I boycotting MAGA friendly corps? Oh, hell yes, I certainly am.
Cutting back... yes indeed. I'm from rural Missouri...I know exactly how to do that.
They don't ask me either. Go figure. One of my Senators and my Representative are out there every day. Finding the coverage isn't easy. The local paper doesn't always cover it.
The problem is that our Democratic leaders have been weak in regards to their need to protect corporate welfare. Obama could've challenged Moscow Mitch and pushed for the confirmation of Garland. But he didn't. Why didn't Obama tell the public about investigations into Shitpants and Russia? He didn't. Biden only planned on being a one term president. Pass the torch to a younger generation. But he didn't. This isn't a time for worship. It's a time for accountability.
Damn straight! It's past time. I'm wildly disappointed in the Dem Party ... I stopped donating unless it's AOC or Jasmine because THEY have it down. RESIST! Be vocal. Be seen. Push back on all the bullshit lies. Make your presence known or get out of the way.
Good points. The DNC, and every Dem leader and elected office holder could start with telling the truth about Donald's daily law breaking. In front of every camera and panel on TV and social. That would be nice.
So far the 23 state Attorneys General who planned ahead to fight back are doing a good job. They can do more in court than the Democrats can do, at least until the House is clawed back.
Does it strike anyone here as strange that the president would not be trusted or qualified to be a bank teller? Due to his business fraud convictions. But he controls the US Treasury?
Maybe a DNC spokesperson or Dem leader or Dem elected office holder could point this out to the Press. Are they afraid of hurting Donnie's feelings with the truth?
Let's get some goddam perspective here:
If any FDIC insured bank president in the country hired Donald J Trump to work in the bank, as anything but a janitor, he or she would be subject to being banned for life from banking. And the board of directors would be liable for civil money penalties, paid out of their pocket, and potentially prosecuted for risking the FDIC insurance fund.
Now, Donald J Trump is in control of the Treasury and the FDIC.
The FBI must be sitting on a thick file of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) that detail the business fraud activities of the Trump Organization. Normally, Special Agents would be assigned by the Director of the FBI to investigate these fraud suspicions.
And the Dems are not speaking out and telling these truths to the public.
Well written post Susan, please stop banging your pretty head against the wall of invincible ignorance, just roll with it! The whole DOGE thing is obviously Kremlin inspired to cause tsuris, chaos and destruction of our democracy!!
HAH!! Absolutely. I just arrived at the farm in Missouri...plan to write, walk in the woods with the dogs, and try to chill the fuck out. Wish me luck!
All the best Susan! I walk everyday to try to deal with this insanity that’s been happening to our country. And I ask myself-“ how the fuck did we get into this mess??!!” The answers are to mind numbing to deal with at times. So, I persevere and will #Resist to my dying day.
Back at ya, Chet. I just came back in from a walk with the farm doggies. It was so refreshing to feel the cool breeze and dead silence out here (NE Missouri). American society is in grave trouble. I hope we get to the other side ...but I believe there will be some violence in order to get there.
Me too Susan. Me too. When do we leave? Do you or I or any patriot care more than others? It seems thats the case right now. Also seems like a small groups composed mostly of pissed off citizens. Some folks say let's give the president some latitude... See how all this shakes out....yeah let's see...shit, we're in big trouble then. Maybe that's their point, fuck up as much stuff as fast as they can because they know they'll get booted out eventually. But will have made millions on their way out the door.... Sit in their mansions, pay for everything they need to without talking to us incels or giving a crap about anything. I listen to speeches on the floor of the house and senate and it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out who's full of it. These committee meetings are quite the spectacle too. Worse than I thought. I've watched CSPAN for thirty years and we are truly dealing with some dumb folks up there. And their staffs. People have been brainwashed for decades to not believe anything in opposition to their beloved, trusted news sources.... Even if what we say is factual, proof worthy, etc. Sorry, man I get worked up....so much so my migraines are back. Sons of bitches.
Agree with you Mark...How do we get qualified, intelligent, DECENT people to run for office. Cause, right now, we have cowards and dumbasses. They dont remember what they're supposed to be doing....like adhering to the Constitution and obeying the law. Someone made a smart observation, that we were doomed when the news decided to become entertainment. Thats the truth. It's nothing but opinion and propaganda now.
It is a terrifying shit show - and we have another “press conference” in the Offal Office in about 30 minutes. I am waiting to hear all about the next EOs which make being left-handed illegal, creating a Cabinet position for Ted Nugent and declaring war on Monaco.
You nailed it. I bet they turned the Rose Garden into a cock fight pit and each sewer clown will toss theirs in to see who wins to be the first to terminate their employees at the agencies they "oversee."
It's a tragedy. All the beautiful trees planted by Jackie O pulled out. Melania turned it into a beige plain Jane zero imagination or love for nature puke scape. Just because she could. What an asshole.
I can't, I really can't. Been sitting here this morning thinking that we're going to have to get the grandkids to Canada for inoculations in a few months, and we need to be sure they can get back into the country. Mexico is out of the question -- their mom is Latina and they probably wouldn't be able to get back to the US, period. If we're going to end up somewhere else, it should be where we won't die of the heat within a year or two.
Well, I SAY we need to be able to get back into the US, but if we ended up seeking asylum in Canada, that would actually be an improvement. Besides, I'd get to see more hockey.
I've really missed hockey -- had season tickets when I lived in OKC, in my early 20s. Believe it or not, Oklahoma had TWO halfway-decent hockey teams (back when the CHL was a thing) and a "turnpike rivalry" lol -- even got to see the US Olympic team and the Russians play a sort of exhibition game in OKC after the 1980 Olympics...
I do remember! I also left Oklahoma for years & lived in Minnesota. We had 4th center ice season tickets for the first 3 seasons of the Wild. I go to Oilers games now once in a while 💙
Uruguay is democratic, has an Italian population at the coast, and is over the largest fresh water aquifer. Idk how it's going there now but I think for USD $600/Mo income you can retire there.
I know from experience how their health care system.is less than perfect. In rural areas especially there is a dr shortage. You are correct in saying that the system decides when you will be treated.
Long wait times especially for joint replacement procedures,
@Paula Scheider find out what happens to the lefties who can’t change to a righty!! 😂 oh & Ted Nugent is starring at the Kennedy Center. Since Hamilton is no longer appearing there (CF47) said it was a horrible show that was never sold out🙄 we can all go watch Teddy in the show called Burr he likes that cuz Burr killed a man!!! We are so screwed!! 🙄🤬🤬🤦🏼♀️💙
I was ready to post something that might have been worthy of Jeff’s column until I scrolled down to see Kash Patel all “Google eyed” and totally lost it. Now I can’t think! 🤪
Im serious, my 100% total guess is that shes a figurehead and nothing else. Like I said up-thread. Im pretty sure thats all she is, and until I get more dirt on her to run my piece about her, Im going to assume that.
I live to help others survive the weird fucking dystopia in which we now live. If you are reading the stuff Im writing, and react that way, that means Im successful.
We should only be so lucky as an 8Ball being the deciding factor. Based on Magic 8 Ball standard design, approximately 50% of responses are positive or affirmative. The remaining responses are either negative or non-committal/ambiguous, splitting the decision outcomes fairly evenly between "yes" and "no" categories. So theoretically we would actually not be doing horrible IF THEY USED an 8Ball over what they are doing right now.
I watched an Orwellian interview with two Starlink spokespersons on CNN and they said the numerous disassembly events means a lot of "practice" was happening, which was perfectly normal and part of success. The gif of flaming debris raining down randomly was a candle on the cake.
you know, that's a tough one -- maybe Couch Boy? The orange jenius is way past his sell-by date; even though he's easily manipulated, he may not be around much longer (unless they preserve him in a glass-topped coffin like Lenin.) Elno is easy enough to manipulate, especially if he thinks he'll get US apartheid out of the deal, but he's not elected and not so easy to control.
They meant to do that. You see, the Nazi Republican version of statistics says that if you crash and burn on your first two attempts you are guaranteed to succeed on the next 98 if your failure rate is 2%. And you are guaranteed to make a killing if you invest all your savings in crypto.
The only possible way that even the most ignorant MAGAT can say they “believe” the tripe coming out of our White House is if they want to, have to believe it. It’s so far beyond the pale that it’s mentally impossible for anyone to believe the low wattage, silly-assed bullshit being spewed. Cognitive dissonance, come on down!
I read an article yesterday about how a lot of our veterans are government employees and are now getting fired. It quotes a veteran who voted for Trumpanzee (60% of veterans voted for him!) and got told to go fuck himself by the Space Nazi. He still believes in Shitler, and thinks he’s got the right idea but is going about it the wrong way. That’s some hard-core cult behavior if you ask me.
I read that same article and thought to myself "Oh well. You don't get one ounce of sympathy from this gal! You voted for that piece of garbage. Deal with it."
I mean, Its a ship full of Imbeciles, and its taken the US about 50 years to get here. Trump and Musk are just a logical end to a VERY twisted path that started all the way back with Nixon and then moved forward. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-great-divorce-how-republicans
Reagan (and his henchmen -- like Lee Atwater) advanced the plot considerably over the 8 yrs he was in office. Destroying the Fairness Doctrine alone was a huge leap forward for them.
He coined the phrase "welfare queens", gave us Iran Contra, and pretended to take down the USSR, when Gorbachev did it by himself. Such fond memories of a president who, until 2017, was the dumbest fucking guy elected.
There may be another reason tfg is equivocating. Perhaps Musk can keep tfg in line by reminding him he could call a press conference and say tfg forced him to rig the election by altering ballot scanners' count algorithms.
It’s just so illogical, Megan. Plus drumpf’s proclamations, “We don’t need more votes. We have all the votes we need.” How long before the truth becomes known?
I totally agree...you cant tell me he won ALL the swing states. No way. There was a good piece on this..and now I cant find it...but it was quite convincing.
I've been complaining about this since the day after the election. It's like a boil on my ass that never heals in the deafening silence around it and nobody, not one fucking Dem, has said anything out loud and explained the silence. It's infuriating. You don't even need all the data analyst and stats probability work from the last two months to know it doesn't add up. There were 10k+ new Dem voter regs the month before so KH would have had to lose more than 20k Biden voters. I just don't buy that shit or the narrative that starts with that premise, and I wish MSNBC would stop it's anchors from starting any conversation with - the voters elected trump. It's complete bullshit. Basic math. But even Dem voters don't like math, so who's to say.
Wow, it seems that we have a circular firing squad forming. Hopefully, they all end up shooting each other. Kash has taken cross eyes to a whole new level. Their incompetence and stupidity may wind up saving us.
President Elmo’s blitz attack on our inertia laden government was well planned. Attack the government agencies that do the most for the common man and turn the power of those agencies over to…himself. As Dems wait for the “right pitch to hit,” (thank you, Hakeem Jeffries), our civil rights are circling the drain. Defund the Department of Education? How can even ignorant MAGATS not realize the gravity of such an act?
Just look at Oklahoma which had previously cut its state education budget to the bone and kids attend school mostly part-time. Cuz we don' need no stinkin' educashun.
For some reason, not enough people have focused on how stupid he is. Remember, Rex Tillerson called him a "fucking moron" and Fran Lebowitz said "you don't know anyone as stupid as Donald tRump. You just don't." Noel Casler has lots to say on Donnie's mental faculties and none of it is good.
How many casinos did he bankrupt? JFC, they’re literally a license to print money.
Know who’s not losing money on casinos? America’s Indigenous nations. You know, the ones Shitler wants to deport because they’re not as good as white people.
The tech bro philosophy of move fast and break things doesn’t work so well when there are real time consequences. And when there are people willing to report every stupid thing DonOld and the Space Nazi do. Having the rocket blow up is actually frosting on the cake for a week of blatant fuck ups by Elon and his flying monkeys! I wonder how many of his Big Ball bros are responsible for the millions of dollars spent on the rocket launch? They don’t care about the money, it’s just our tax dollars! Hope the MAGATS realize they’re paying for this too!
Putin's orange agent double-O-no soul has his head so far up the barking yam's ass he can smell thru the donvicts nose. Shout out to Edwin Starr who also wrote War what is it good for? and memorably covered by Springsteen,
I am in the process of getting a MAGA out of my home. I've had her living with me since before this all happened. At first, she was a harmless drunk. Now she is doing all the harm. Ignorant statements, total blind support, no matter the topic. She will be here until the end of the month, unless I can hurry that along, which I intend to do. Hegseth eliminated the "Enola Gay" since the word Gay is afoul of their anti-DEI stance. I said as much. Know what she did? She fucking laughed. I am a veteran,and I know my history. What a reprehensible thing to say and what a fucked up person she has ended up being.
In the elimination of all things DEI, they got rid of anything with a search of key words of course. Anything or anyone with the word "gay" had to go. No shit.
No, Dave, it's someone who worthlessed her way into my home with the whole save me,my dog is dying. I was fresh out of substance abuse treatment. Clean two years, but the other problem is ongoing.
Well, Hannah, I messed around and fell for her game. This happens to people, I get that. I could have turned into an asshole and just tossed her out, but thats not how my folks raised me to be.
I get it. No one decent wants to be an asshole. Twice I have let people in who were sketchy, but needed help. I don't regret it. No druggies, but people who just couldn't catch a break.
I have been on the other side of the game. I embarrassed myself, lied, cheated,stolen,infidelity all of it, so I'm no one to judge but yet I am. It has taken me much effort to get where i am and I'm not going to let it be taken from me. It takes all I can do not to hover around her when she's packing to insure that nothing of mine makes the list of hers. Doing the right thing is nothing néw to me and I am sure you are the same. Have a wonderful evening and thank you so much for sharing your time and viewpoint with me!
Teri, I responded to Susan Niemann above. The DoD , in their effort to get rid of DEI, did a key words search. Anything with the word "gay" was eliminated. So yeah, references to the Enola Gay is apparently gone.
Your gifs are so perfect, Jeff. They speak volumes to the insanity we're seeing.
And who in the hell is Amy Gleason???
And where the hell was our lazy ass Senate until now?
And Kash needs to see an ophthalmologist.
And which rock are the worthless Democrats hiding under?
And...fuck it all. I wanna live somewhere else.
My head hurts from banging it against the wall every day.
I dont think anyone actually knows who or what Amy Gleason does. Or why she does what shes doing for that matter. I was considering doing a write up on her, but I cant actually find enough "relevant" information to actually report on her or what she does. Which suggests that its nothing.
according to the google machine, Amy Gleason is "a healthcare technology executive who served under Presidents Trump and Biden"
You mean the person in charge of my clusterfucked MyChart? I guess it makes sense to Orange Jeebus…
oh, THAT was a masterpiece of programming right there.
Was she in charge of a large body MyChart implementation, Shau?
If so, hang her.
I had a terrible fuck up with MyChart too. I also refused AI summaries of my visits.
I’m going to poke around MyChart and see if I can eliminate those gawdawful AI summaries, too. Thanks!
Im trying to do a workup on her. And I just cant get anymore relative information as to what she does for DOGE other than what Wikipedia and a few outside sources suggest. So Ill keep digging until I get something good. And then run it.
Today Judd Legume posted how much the DOGE fucks are supposed to be earning. It says,
"To cover the salaries of 20 of its employees, DOGE is requesting the Office of Personnel Management pay it more than $4 million through July of next year. That works out to $189,950 per person for 17 and a half months of work."
This for kids out of high school?

Also, Tesla in trouble. I am hoping to make more trouble over that in Germany. Goal: 0 Teslas sold in Germany. Tesla sales down 100%.
Helping with Democrats Abroad to organize picketing of Tesla dealers in my city.
HOORAY!
Maybe she’s not an actual person. Whenever Dumbass wants to blame someone or deflect heat away from himself, he says, “Talk to Amy Gleason.”
Is she behind the at least three healthcare data breaches that I had last year??? Great work, Amy!
Jeff, isn’t Putin pulling the strings on both of criminally insane imbeciles?
I thought she was still in Mexico?? Her name is not on their email list. But muskrat is.
Yesterday, somebody on Bluesky posted a list of all the DOGE actors, including Musk, with their e-mail addresses. Amy Gleason was not on that list.
Seems like she was a sacrificial "under the bus" lamb. What a shocker
I noted this. As I too (through nefarious sources) attained said list.
I need this list
Here a blusky link that may get you there. I'm sure you won't use the information to say anything negative.

I believe she was in charge of Data Services, the infotech office that Trump rechristened DOGE because he couldn't create an agency out of nothing. Almost all the original Data Services staffers have resigned in disgust.
Any relation to Jackie Gleason?
To the moon, Alice!
LOL!!
Elon
Well, he did hang out in Florida
Doubtful.
🤭
I doubt Amy Gleason knows what she does, either.
Perhaps she should write an email listing 5 things she did this week to warrant her job, too? Elon Musk is so obviously the last word on 'efficiency'!
Today Olga Lautman, Dean Blondell and Zev Shalev were saying that Trump is acting like a big asshole because of nukes. Now, that Trump is on the other side together with Russia, China and North Korea they have like 11,000+ nukes, while countries like France, India, Britain, Pakistan have like 900+ nukes. They point out 2 things. all you need it one nuke because that is it! Therefore these nukes are not really the threat they think they are. They also point out that Russian nukes are probably in the shitty shape that their tanks and other equipment are, and as Olga said, will probably fire a Siberia. They point out that when the American people get fed up with Trump, the nukes are not designed to work in close range like that.
Here is the project 2025 tracker. https://www.project2025.observer/
I am still waiting for Dems to start drafting bills that protect us from each and every thing in Project 2025 and that Musk is doing, and to be coming out with these each day and trying to get them presented, but making sure to get them into the press.
If we all survive this, "Amy Gleason" will be the answer to a trivia question. Along with "GSA Emily" from Trump 1.0.
According to Meidas Touch, she lives somewhere in TN
I didn’t even know her name until now. I just heard it was some woman.
I just called 3 Dems who voted with the Republicans to censure Al Green to let them know how disappointed I am with this action.I’m going to work my way down the list and contact all 10 of them.
I'm also sending them a strongly worded FUCK YOU! Al Green takes his job seriously and does it well -- he ALWAYS steps up. He even left the hospital a day after major surgery in a wheelchair to save a critical vote last year, and he deserves WAY more respect than the Dem hierarchy gives him. Texas has little enough actual representation.
Here is the list of Dems who voted to censure Rep Al Green…they cannot be trusted anymore!
Ami Bera (CA), Ed Case (HI), Jim Costa (CA), Laura Gillan (NY), Jim Himes (CT), Chrissy Houlahan (PA), Marcy Kaptur (OH), Jared Moskowitz (FL), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Tom Suozzi (NY)
I don’t know enough about most of them but rather surprised by Himes and Moskowitz.
Smurf needs to stick with tormenting the fuck out of Comer Pyle
Me too
Same here! I live in CT, but have never heard of Himes. I'm looking him up.
Did any Republicans censor MTG or Boebert when they were screaming at President Biden during HIS SOTU⁉️
Why do Democrats fall in line with the asshole Republicans⁉️JFC.
I used to live in Rep. Bera's district in the Sacramento area. Had respect for him and his work but why the hell would he be on the GOP side of this vote? Makes no damn sense.
I know many of his supporters are reluctant to oppose him because of fear for their careers and/or the safety of their families. Don't know how accurate this is but we've seen some of the ongoing revenge. It seems to me that there are enough cajones out there to make a difference. But maybe not. God bless the Al Greens and Jack Smiths of this world.
Jared Moskowitz has fallen far into the appeasement bucket. I had hopes for him but they are gone!
I called Case's office and left a message, a polite WTF?
Surprised at Himes & Miskowitz!!
Thanks Seeking, everyone should be calling these stunods offices today for their traitorous vote!!
I called them yesterday. They're all split up in their little bubbles. Moderate Democrats had a meeting on Wednesday. They want the lefty leftists to shut the fuck up. They're apparently trying to get a cohesive message out for working people.
I will write Ed Case since I live in HI but heʻs not my rep. I wrote my rep this morning and asked her (in more polite terms) WTF is up with Ed Case?
Thank you!
Please say which Democrats voted to censure Al Green. I didn’t know this! I will contact the chicken-shit bastards immediately. I was mad before, but now……hell hath no furry.
I see this info is posted. Thank you!
Nice, Victoria!!
Moderate Democrats?
Fodder for the Republitard propaganda machine! Soft as margarine- willing to appeal to
who exactly?
Anyone who uses Monty Python gifs to illustrate anything has my vote :)

No, it IS THE RABBIT....

I had a “no one expects” and on the back “the Spanish Inquisition” shirt once upon a time. The number of people who did not understand was baffling
You have to sing the rest of the last line 🎶
This really is the best space with the best author and the best people...
Im not sure Im the best at anything.
I know a crazy amount of shit, and Im OCCASIONALLY able to limited stitch that together into something that reads well.

Amy was on vacation when she was “put in charge of DOGE” and no idea what reporters were asking her. Truly a shit show and the big boss Putin is so pleased. 🤬
Someone told me to put on backpack and walk into Canada to live there.
Seriously... I'm looking into retirement visas. The incompetence we're seeing on a daily basis is breathtaking.
It will not be easy for any US American to immigrate anywhere. Nobody will have open arms.
When Ukrainians needed refuge, Europe opened its arms and homes to them.
If Americans try to leave the US, the response is going to be "Whoah! Three questions first - Do you have a red hat with writing on it? Who won the 2020 election? And do magnets work if they get wet?"
I think maybe Canada would be open to refugees reasonable enough to flee this administration, if nothing else just to piss off the orange jenius.
That may be a futile move if Canada becomes the 51st state.
I really don't think Canada will go along with that... and if the US invades Canada, we really will be in another world war.
Poco, damn straight!!!! PM Trudeau is NOT taking turd's bullying. Walks a tightrope not to antagonize turd, just calmly stands up 100 percent for 🇨🇦
I would cross the border and fight for our neighbors to the north with a big ass maple leaf on my chest.
Thats a pretty definitive assumption. There are many expat communities. I wont make a blanket statement like that yet.

Canada doesn’t want retired people. We looked into it. Bummer.
I’m looking elsewhere.
From Forbes:
Retire To Portugal
The quickest, easiest, and most affordable country to seek residency in Europe, Portugal has the lowest income requirement on the continent. While the number isn’t set, it’s based on the country’s minimum wage, which is 903 euros (about $950) as of January 2025.
YES! And their healthcare is very good. There is a Substack writer...I think it's called Our Portugal Journey...and it's very informative. There is a vibrant expat community there and she offered to meet up with me. I'm looking a year at a time. Ive never been ANYWHERE outside of the US and hope to get my first immersion into International travel with a friend in a couple of weeks. Before I'm way too old, I need to see and experience things!
Like I told you in another conversation, my friends lived in Porto, Portugal for three years and LOVED it! They met many new friends and traveled all over Europe from Portugal. A number of years ago I met a young veterinarian finishing her studies here and she invited me to visit her in Porto. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go at the time.
I’ve visited all over Europe and loved it, but I was always happy to go home to the US. I don’t think I’d feel that way now. 😭
I’m jealous, Susan. Again, please tell me all about it when you get back.
I’ll check out that Substack writer. Thanks.
Oh I will definitely stay in touch with you. I'm ready to test my travel abilities beyond driving cross country as I do! I know where every ladies room is between NE Missouri and Philadelphia. 😂😂
You are going to have the best time!!
PS: The restrooms are a little different there, but I know you can handle them. 🤗
Thanks for the warning….do I need to stuff a roll of toilet paper in my bag? 😂😂😂
It’s been ages since I’ve been to Europe, but as I recall, the TP worked just fine. 😂
LOL!!!!
I love Porto. I’ve been there twice. I do speak Portuguese, so that’s a plus.
Lucky you! 😊
Quick! I heard Canada's gonna build a wall. And make us pay for it
I wouldnt blame them.
I'll go get my toolbox! Maybe that would get me in!
Who would blame them?
😂 I would donate to their cause to give a big middle finger to this monstrous administration. Americans take for granted they are welcome everywhere. I'd tell the US to fk off if I were a Canadian.
I think that advice is already immortalized in "It Can't Happen Here"...
Zappa! And the rest of the Mothers.
I can do that!! Leaving this afternoon!
Hmm. Hmmm. Hmmmm.
Gleason is the prop to make it look like there’s an adult in the room.
Yup, considering there are few adults in the Dump/Smuk inercircle of dimwits and dumbshits. In the meantime, another clear and present danger are those half ass, shitty rockets that keep blowing up at a price of who knows how much a day. Time to give NASA more funding and cut off Space X, the real Ponzi scheme.
Rick, and kill contracts, subsidies, tax breaks for. EVERYTHING melon AND DEPORT HIM!!
I’ve been screaming your thoughts into the void Rick! Kill Musk’s lock on the $ billions spent on his insane fantasy…spending crisis solved!!
Good idea but impossible to implement while Elon controls the Treasury payment system. He can cut checks for rockets and stop funding food for hungry kids. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop him. Well, Donnie could but Elon owns Donnie.
Exactly Kay-EI!!
I’m sorry, but this nonsense about the democrats hiding under rocks is not justified. They may not be doing what you would like, but seriously, what is it you want? Some people complain that Congressman Green was too animated. Some people complain that members were asked to be silent, and of course, I’ll admit, I thought holding up paddles was just lame. But within congress, the minority party have few options. They can attempt to work behind the scenes as those GOP senators and representatives that grow increasingly uncomfortable with the shit show. Senators can grill nominees in the hopes of embarrassing their GOP colleagues (tho they largely seem beyond embarrassment.) And of course, if some legislation actually makes it out of the House and to the Senate floor, then they can engage in whatever procedural gimmicks may be available, culminating with the filibuster. But might I remind of how often the filibuster actually prevented the GOP from doing what it damn well pleased?
The real action is in the streets, in the stock market, the job market and in the courts. So, feel free to criticize Democratic leaders, but you better be making your objections known to your delegation, boycotting MAGA friendly corporations (and cutting back anywhere you can…) and protesting whenever the opportunity presents itself.
What do I want??? I want them to speak out. I want a more organized, and VOCAL, attempt at communication to the public about what's really happening. A daily presser perhaps? Secretary Pete has been mentioned often to do such an event. Jasmine Crockett and AOC are leading the way in speaking out, dispelling the many lies and attempts of the GOP to ruin this country. The majority of Dems are silent. I'm well aware they are the minority now...but that doesnt mean they stay quiet. The public needs to hear from them.
Am I making my objections known? Oh, hell yes.
Am I boycotting MAGA friendly corps? Oh, hell yes, I certainly am.
Cutting back... yes indeed. I'm from rural Missouri...I know exactly how to do that.
Daily or at least weekly presser with Buttigieg is a good plan.
Why don't they ask me? 😂😂😂
They don't ask me either. Go figure. One of my Senators and my Representative are out there every day. Finding the coverage isn't easy. The local paper doesn't always cover it.
The problem is that our Democratic leaders have been weak in regards to their need to protect corporate welfare. Obama could've challenged Moscow Mitch and pushed for the confirmation of Garland. But he didn't. Why didn't Obama tell the public about investigations into Shitpants and Russia? He didn't. Biden only planned on being a one term president. Pass the torch to a younger generation. But he didn't. This isn't a time for worship. It's a time for accountability.
Damn straight! It's past time. I'm wildly disappointed in the Dem Party ... I stopped donating unless it's AOC or Jasmine because THEY have it down. RESIST! Be vocal. Be seen. Push back on all the bullshit lies. Make your presence known or get out of the way.
Good points. The DNC, and every Dem leader and elected office holder could start with telling the truth about Donald's daily law breaking. In front of every camera and panel on TV and social. That would be nice.
I will continue to remain free to criticize democrat leaders. Except for AOC.
So far the 23 state Attorneys General who planned ahead to fight back are doing a good job. They can do more in court than the Democrats can do, at least until the House is clawed back.
Does it strike anyone here as strange that the president would not be trusted or qualified to be a bank teller? Due to his business fraud convictions. But he controls the US Treasury?
Tremendous point.
Maybe a DNC spokesperson or Dem leader or Dem elected office holder could point this out to the Press. Are they afraid of hurting Donnie's feelings with the truth?
Let's get some goddam perspective here:
If any FDIC insured bank president in the country hired Donald J Trump to work in the bank, as anything but a janitor, he or she would be subject to being banned for life from banking. And the board of directors would be liable for civil money penalties, paid out of their pocket, and potentially prosecuted for risking the FDIC insurance fund.
Now, Donald J Trump is in control of the Treasury and the FDIC.
The FBI must be sitting on a thick file of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) that detail the business fraud activities of the Trump Organization. Normally, Special Agents would be assigned by the Director of the FBI to investigate these fraud suspicions.
And the Dems are not speaking out and telling these truths to the public.
I just finished Greg Olear's book, "Dirty Rubbles." It's a great book. Quick read.
We're fucked.
All of this shit strikes me as strange. That's a polite way of putting it.
Well written post Susan, please stop banging your pretty head against the wall of invincible ignorance, just roll with it! The whole DOGE thing is obviously Kremlin inspired to cause tsuris, chaos and destruction of our democracy!!
But at least we got to read about Melon's "hinky rockets". Jeff is priceless - I couldn't have come up with that in a million years!
Susan, self care time? Had to avoid even Jeff for days, now caught up. Today's + gifs, shoot that right into my veins.
HAH!! Absolutely. I just arrived at the farm in Missouri...plan to write, walk in the woods with the dogs, and try to chill the fuck out. Wish me luck!
All the best Susan! I walk everyday to try to deal with this insanity that’s been happening to our country. And I ask myself-“ how the fuck did we get into this mess??!!” The answers are to mind numbing to deal with at times. So, I persevere and will #Resist to my dying day.
Back at ya, Chet. I just came back in from a walk with the farm doggies. It was so refreshing to feel the cool breeze and dead silence out here (NE Missouri). American society is in grave trouble. I hope we get to the other side ...but I believe there will be some violence in order to get there.
I was just going to say this column made head hurt, and I saw you comment. It's like you r in my head 🤣❤️
Me too Susan. Me too. When do we leave? Do you or I or any patriot care more than others? It seems thats the case right now. Also seems like a small groups composed mostly of pissed off citizens. Some folks say let's give the president some latitude... See how all this shakes out....yeah let's see...shit, we're in big trouble then. Maybe that's their point, fuck up as much stuff as fast as they can because they know they'll get booted out eventually. But will have made millions on their way out the door.... Sit in their mansions, pay for everything they need to without talking to us incels or giving a crap about anything. I listen to speeches on the floor of the house and senate and it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out who's full of it. These committee meetings are quite the spectacle too. Worse than I thought. I've watched CSPAN for thirty years and we are truly dealing with some dumb folks up there. And their staffs. People have been brainwashed for decades to not believe anything in opposition to their beloved, trusted news sources.... Even if what we say is factual, proof worthy, etc. Sorry, man I get worked up....so much so my migraines are back. Sons of bitches.
Agree with you Mark...How do we get qualified, intelligent, DECENT people to run for office. Cause, right now, we have cowards and dumbasses. They dont remember what they're supposed to be doing....like adhering to the Constitution and obeying the law. Someone made a smart observation, that we were doomed when the news decided to become entertainment. Thats the truth. It's nothing but opinion and propaganda now.
No,no! Save your precious head!!
I’m so with you on that, especially the Dems being under a rock. I’ve SO had it with them.
You and me both, Susan!
I guffawed (out loud) the second I saw the Krazy Eyes one.
It was sooo good! 😂😂
It is a terrifying shit show - and we have another “press conference” in the Offal Office in about 30 minutes. I am waiting to hear all about the next EOs which make being left-handed illegal, creating a Cabinet position for Ted Nugent and declaring war on Monaco.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ – ✧) 𝕆𝕗𝕗𝕒𝕝 𝕆𝕗𝕗𝕚𝕔𝕖!
You nailed it. I bet they turned the Rose Garden into a cock fight pit and each sewer clown will toss theirs in to see who wins to be the first to terminate their employees at the agencies they "oversee."
well, Melania made sure we wouldn't miss whatever the Rose Garden is now.
It's a tragedy. All the beautiful trees planted by Jackie O pulled out. Melania turned it into a beige plain Jane zero imagination or love for nature puke scape. Just because she could. What an asshole.
I feel you, Anne. I felt the same way. Because I'm a 1962 baby, I felt a little of my heart rip out.
HAHAH!
I can't, I really can't. Been sitting here this morning thinking that we're going to have to get the grandkids to Canada for inoculations in a few months, and we need to be sure they can get back into the country. Mexico is out of the question -- their mom is Latina and they probably wouldn't be able to get back to the US, period. If we're going to end up somewhere else, it should be where we won't die of the heat within a year or two.
Well, I SAY we need to be able to get back into the US, but if we ended up seeking asylum in Canada, that would actually be an improvement. Besides, I'd get to see more hockey.
I’m currently surrounded by Canadians in Palm Springs, California and they are the nicest and most fun people I’ve ever met.
Hey, my community is also full of snowbirds. Many are selling their homes and I really can't blame them. I'm also local.
I saw on the local news that 10% of the homes in the Coachella Valley are owned by Canadians.
More than 10 percent in my neighborhood, I believe. They are good neighbors. We will be sorry to lose them.
Maybe they're Democrats in hiding!
It's absolute wantoness to pick a fight with our good neighbor.
Canadians are lovely people but don’t piss ‘em off.
https://youtu.be/tmJdbfdQC4E?si=JjtnqGM27yQDOxOl
Enjoy.
The hockey alone makes it worth it!
I've really missed hockey -- had season tickets when I lived in OKC, in my early 20s. Believe it or not, Oklahoma had TWO halfway-decent hockey teams (back when the CHL was a thing) and a "turnpike rivalry" lol -- even got to see the US Olympic team and the Russians play a sort of exhibition game in OKC after the 1980 Olympics...
I do remember! I also left Oklahoma for years & lived in Minnesota. We had 4th center ice season tickets for the first 3 seasons of the Wild. I go to Oilers games now once in a while 💙
same boat different guy. all my shit is here ... in my compound not in anyone's way!
already did the mexico/belize contingency ... islands are all too $$$
no good country with any sense at all would not let me bring all my used broken borrowed krap across their borders!
Uruguay is democratic, has an Italian population at the coast, and is over the largest fresh water aquifer. Idk how it's going there now but I think for USD $600/Mo income you can retire there.
Yes, but I saw their really short rugby player bite the opposing player in an Olympic match.
Yikes.
Yes, I watch all the rugby I can (watching now) and he was vicious.
Poco, Canadians could tell us more re their health care. I read here or another credible site it can take two years to get in to see Dr.
That might soon be better than any of our options in the US. Medicare is on the DOGE list, too, and health insurance is already getting pricey.
Canadian health care is not a panacea. It provides broader access (social justice) than whatever we have here.
But try to schedule a procedure like a joint replacement. Long long wait times. The system tells you when it will treat you
I know from experience how their health care system.is less than perfect. In rural areas especially there is a dr shortage. You are correct in saying that the system decides when you will be treated.
Long wait times especially for joint replacement procedures,
sometimes years
Nugent can be Secretary of Washed-Up Musician Draft Dodger Child Molesters
@Paula Scheider find out what happens to the lefties who can’t change to a righty!! 😂 oh & Ted Nugent is starring at the Kennedy Center. Since Hamilton is no longer appearing there (CF47) said it was a horrible show that was never sold out🙄 we can all go watch Teddy in the show called Burr he likes that cuz Burr killed a man!!! We are so screwed!! 🙄🤬🤬🤦🏼♀️💙
Cite: https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/kennedy-center-to-replace-hamilton
Thats tragic. Nugent at the Kennedy Center? They'll have to disinfect everything when its over. UGH
I was ready to post something that might have been worthy of Jeff’s column until I scrolled down to see Kash Patel all “Google eyed” and totally lost it. Now I can’t think! 🤪
thank wonkette for that beauty. (there's a link to it under the image)
Martini Glambassador does good work :)
Agreed.
Thanks wonkette!
Thank you both, I really needed that!
I think Ziggy and or CripD are responsible for at least a few of my image usages.
Yeah, I saw one earlier too. Somethign about kash patel and sarah Huckabee sanders not being able to see "eye to eye".
I literally laughed out loud
I know, right?
Thats bad, Jeff. But also its SOOO good. If I ever do a piece run on Sanders, Im gonna drop it in, because thats just a brilliant thing to do.
Huckafuck crazy eyes Sanders earned all
The insults and loathing she gets. And more
OMG! That made me lose my coffee. Brilliant.
Thats what we do at thistleandmoss.com, I just dont cuss near as much as Jeff does. But then I aspire to his vocal capabilities.
😂😂😂
What is she in charge of?
She’s in charge of taking the blame when Musk fucks up.
Musk doesnt need any help in that category, I assure you.
Umm I thought she was a Governor of Alabama or Arkansas maybe..🙄🤬🤦🏼♀️💙
Huckabee Sanders yes, Amy Gleason no.
ah, yes, who can forget the Podium Purchase scandal? lol
Im serious, my 100% total guess is that shes a figurehead and nothing else. Like I said up-thread. Im pretty sure thats all she is, and until I get more dirt on her to run my piece about her, Im going to assume that.
That’s is exactly what she is.
Thank you for confirmation.
Someone in Trump's circle probably said "Here's a Republican bitch who doesn't look like Barbie the Pole Dancer. So let's throw HER under the bus."
Yep. 👍
😂😂😂😂😂
OMG🤣🤣🤣🤣 I needed that. Thx Wendy!
I live to help others survive the weird fucking dystopia in which we now live. If you are reading the stuff Im writing, and react that way, that means Im successful.
Wendy, I love your stuff.
That certainly inspires me.
That is hilarious! Thank you!
You are most welcome. I TRY To make good content.
Noooooo. I just busted up laughing in public 😂😂😂
Killer funny!!!!!!
His goo-goo eyes can suck out your will to live.
I spit coffee when I saw that gif. Props to Martini Glambassador.
We really need more good old fashioned slapstick and juvenile humor. It’s perfect for this time we’re in.
Yep. I’d rather laugh than cry.
Laughter is great Rx
I was eating breakfast at a cafe when I saw that one and lost it awkwardly myself and started coughing laughing.
It's HYPMOTIZING!
Pretty sure Yamtits uses a magic 8 ball to decide what evil chaos he's going to unleash upon the USA...
...only it's a bowling ball with a picture of Roy Cohn taped to it.
We should only be so lucky as an 8Ball being the deciding factor. Based on Magic 8 Ball standard design, approximately 50% of responses are positive or affirmative. The remaining responses are either negative or non-committal/ambiguous, splitting the decision outcomes fairly evenly between "yes" and "no" categories. So theoretically we would actually not be doing horrible IF THEY USED an 8Ball over what they are doing right now.
A magic 8-ball would be a YUUUGE improvement.
He might actually be able to READ a Magic 8 ball.
You are taking alot of liberties on that. Donald doesnt fucking read anything, we all know this. It has to be "told to him".
With the help of an interpreter.
This is the political equivalent of the cliche about picking stocks by letting a monkey throw darts at a list of them
LOL
See Chris Hedges interview Ralph Nader now. Can't miss it.
😂😂😂
Apparently Musk can't build rockets to Mars that don't 'disassemble,' (LOL) shortly upon being lit up.
But I digress ...
"two greedy narcissist man-babies, one government. on paper, this clash of the ginormous egos shouldn’t have worked."
Gonna spit-ball this out there, these two will ultimately clash, and it's going to be spectacular.
Involuntary disassembly? Don't you just love it? What genius came up with this terminology? It's an F'ing explosion, man.
I watched an Orwellian interview with two Starlink spokespersons on CNN and they said the numerous disassembly events means a lot of "practice" was happening, which was perfectly normal and part of success. The gif of flaming debris raining down randomly was a candle on the cake.
We were actually in the vicinity of the Turks & Caicos for the previous disassembly -- produced a lot of pretty colored smoke...
Terry, YES YES YES!!! Talk about explosions! 💥💥💥 Who will Xi and Vlad back?
you know, that's a tough one -- maybe Couch Boy? The orange jenius is way past his sell-by date; even though he's easily manipulated, he may not be around much longer (unless they preserve him in a glass-topped coffin like Lenin.) Elno is easy enough to manipulate, especially if he thinks he'll get US apartheid out of the deal, but he's not elected and not so easy to control.
They meant to do that. You see, the Nazi Republican version of statistics says that if you crash and burn on your first two attempts you are guaranteed to succeed on the next 98 if your failure rate is 2%. And you are guaranteed to make a killing if you invest all your savings in crypto.
The only possible way that even the most ignorant MAGAT can say they “believe” the tripe coming out of our White House is if they want to, have to believe it. It’s so far beyond the pale that it’s mentally impossible for anyone to believe the low wattage, silly-assed bullshit being spewed. Cognitive dissonance, come on down!
I read an article yesterday about how a lot of our veterans are government employees and are now getting fired. It quotes a veteran who voted for Trumpanzee (60% of veterans voted for him!) and got told to go fuck himself by the Space Nazi. He still believes in Shitler, and thinks he’s got the right idea but is going about it the wrong way. That’s some hard-core cult behavior if you ask me.
I read that same article and thought to myself "Oh well. You don't get one ounce of sympathy from this gal! You voted for that piece of garbage. Deal with it."
Cognitive dissonance is hard to shake.
People will twist their own minds so their beliefs are not challenged
Even Cognitive Dissonance can’t believe this shit.
I mean, Its a ship full of Imbeciles, and its taken the US about 50 years to get here. Trump and Musk are just a logical end to a VERY twisted path that started all the way back with Nixon and then moved forward. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-great-divorce-how-republicans
Reagan (and his henchmen -- like Lee Atwater) advanced the plot considerably over the 8 yrs he was in office. Destroying the Fairness Doctrine alone was a huge leap forward for them.
Reagan broke down public education and more
He coined the phrase "welfare queens", gave us Iran Contra, and pretended to take down the USSR, when Gorbachev did it by himself. Such fond memories of a president who, until 2017, was the dumbest fucking guy elected.
There may be another reason tfg is equivocating. Perhaps Musk can keep tfg in line by reminding him he could call a press conference and say tfg forced him to rig the election by altering ballot scanners' count algorithms.
I'm convinced that the election was stolen and I've never been one to delve into conspiracy theories. Something really stinks...
It’s just so illogical, Megan. Plus drumpf’s proclamations, “We don’t need more votes. We have all the votes we need.” How long before the truth becomes known?
I totally agree...you cant tell me he won ALL the swing states. No way. There was a good piece on this..and now I cant find it...but it was quite convincing.
When is the last time a politician, BEFORE an election, said, “We don’t need your vote.” Don’t bother looking, it’s NEVER.
EXACTLY! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I have always believed this. Why didn't Democrats demand recounts? That is what I don't understand. They couldn't wait to wave the white flag.
I've been complaining about this since the day after the election. It's like a boil on my ass that never heals in the deafening silence around it and nobody, not one fucking Dem, has said anything out loud and explained the silence. It's infuriating. You don't even need all the data analyst and stats probability work from the last two months to know it doesn't add up. There were 10k+ new Dem voter regs the month before so KH would have had to lose more than 20k Biden voters. I just don't buy that shit or the narrative that starts with that premise, and I wish MSNBC would stop it's anchors from starting any conversation with - the voters elected trump. It's complete bullshit. Basic math. But even Dem voters don't like math, so who's to say.
No one would care. No one cares if the election was rigged. Sorry to say, but it's over.
Wow, it seems that we have a circular firing squad forming. Hopefully, they all end up shooting each other. Kash has taken cross eyes to a whole new level. Their incompetence and stupidity may wind up saving us.
We’re lucky AF they are The Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight.
President Elmo’s blitz attack on our inertia laden government was well planned. Attack the government agencies that do the most for the common man and turn the power of those agencies over to…himself. As Dems wait for the “right pitch to hit,” (thank you, Hakeem Jeffries), our civil rights are circling the drain. Defund the Department of Education? How can even ignorant MAGATS not realize the gravity of such an act?
A former ultra maga neighbor, flags, etc. his wife is a public school teacher. Wonder how they're feeling.🙄
Just look at Oklahoma which had previously cut its state education budget to the bone and kids attend school mostly part-time. Cuz we don' need no stinkin' educashun.
Jefferies is more the catcher in this relationship. The pitchers are driving it home right up his fucking ass.
I want to say Trump is evil. He is. But he’s also stupid as hell. I don’t know if that’s better or worse… chaotic evil can create a lot of problems.
It’s no wonder he went bankrupt. No reputable corporation would run like this and survive.
For some reason, not enough people have focused on how stupid he is. Remember, Rex Tillerson called him a "fucking moron" and Fran Lebowitz said "you don't know anyone as stupid as Donald tRump. You just don't." Noel Casler has lots to say on Donnie's mental faculties and none of it is good.
Fran’s quote was world
Class
Fran has a world-class wit. I fell in love with her observations back in the 70s. She was on Carson quite a lot and always a hoot!
Check out great interview series with her and Scorcese.
How many casinos did he bankrupt? JFC, they’re literally a license to print money.
Know who’s not losing money on casinos? America’s Indigenous nations. You know, the ones Shitler wants to deport because they’re not as good as white people.
SchnauzerMom, turd is going after Native Americans??
They’re all DEI hires…
Add the third element to his “successful”
business career: uncontrolled narcissism. There you have it - hatred, ignorance, and blinding ego.
The tech bro philosophy of move fast and break things doesn’t work so well when there are real time consequences. And when there are people willing to report every stupid thing DonOld and the Space Nazi do. Having the rocket blow up is actually frosting on the cake for a week of blatant fuck ups by Elon and his flying monkeys! I wonder how many of his Big Ball bros are responsible for the millions of dollars spent on the rocket launch? They don’t care about the money, it’s just our tax dollars! Hope the MAGATS realize they’re paying for this too!
He looks like he's had his face rubbed in shit in that picture
Yeah he’s morphed from yellow-orange to brown-orange. Different paint batch…
He's trying to compete with RFK, Jr. That man is black as shit, and not in a good way.
Lazy fuck, brainless golfer+space nazi=fucking loony bin. Googly eyes tell it all!!
Putin's orange agent double-O-no soul has his head so far up the barking yam's ass he can smell thru the donvicts nose. Shout out to Edwin Starr who also wrote War what is it good for? and memorably covered by Springsteen,
It sure makes you wonder!? Neither are qualified.
maybe Amy Gleason's in charge, who knows
Hell, it could be Jackie Gleason.😂😂
“To the moon, Alice. To the moon!”
How sweet it is!
😂😂😂😂
I loved that show...I'm showing my age now. 😂
My folks loved Jackie Gleason and the Ralph and Art Carney show!
“The Honeymooners”
Is she really though? Have you seen her? I havent. I dont even know what she does. She clearly doesnt show up anywhere?
Is she a ghost in the machine?
Maybe she's a secret member of the band The Police.
I am in the process of getting a MAGA out of my home. I've had her living with me since before this all happened. At first, she was a harmless drunk. Now she is doing all the harm. Ignorant statements, total blind support, no matter the topic. She will be here until the end of the month, unless I can hurry that along, which I intend to do. Hegseth eliminated the "Enola Gay" since the word Gay is afoul of their anti-DEI stance. I said as much. Know what she did? She fucking laughed. I am a veteran,and I know my history. What a reprehensible thing to say and what a fucked up person she has ended up being.
good call on your part!
WHAT? Did Hogbreath really do that? What an imbecile. My head hurts.
In the elimination of all things DEI, they got rid of anything with a search of key words of course. Anything or anyone with the word "gay" had to go. No shit.
This is the most asinine thing I've ever heard of. FFS!
Bravo, Richard. You are kind to have taken her in. Your home is your sanctuary!
is this some relative,Richard?
No, Dave, it's someone who worthlessed her way into my home with the whole save me,my dog is dying. I was fresh out of substance abuse treatment. Clean two years, but the other problem is ongoing.
Well, good luck to you. And bravo on the two years!!!
Well, Hannah, I messed around and fell for her game. This happens to people, I get that. I could have turned into an asshole and just tossed her out, but thats not how my folks raised me to be.
I get it. No one decent wants to be an asshole. Twice I have let people in who were sketchy, but needed help. I don't regret it. No druggies, but people who just couldn't catch a break.
I have been on the other side of the game. I embarrassed myself, lied, cheated,stolen,infidelity all of it, so I'm no one to judge but yet I am. It has taken me much effort to get where i am and I'm not going to let it be taken from me. It takes all I can do not to hover around her when she's packing to insure that nothing of mine makes the list of hers. Doing the right thing is nothing néw to me and I am sure you are the same. Have a wonderful evening and thank you so much for sharing your time and viewpoint with me!
Richard, is that true re Enola Gay?!? So all women or men named Gay are ... outlawed?!
Teri, I responded to Susan Niemann above. The DoD , in their effort to get rid of DEI, did a key words search. Anything with the word "gay" was eliminated. So yeah, references to the Enola Gay is apparently gone.
