I didn’t know who Pete Hegseth was when Trump chose him to be Sec of Defense. We soon learned many reasons he should never be confirmed, but Republicans??

But my very 1st impression was Niedermeyer from “Animal House”. Nothing Hegseth has done has changed my first impression.

Let's hope he gets the same epitaph.

Having gone through the full 'windy city winter' experience, I was wondering how all those soft-headed fascists would do when the cold hit, like it did last weekend. I would guess they'll want to invade a city that has a more pliant court they can turn to.

Greg “the Gasser” Bovino and his thugs are leaving Chicago. Why? Because it’s getting cold."

If they're looking for somewhere warm to terrorize people, they need to head to the Red states of the South. See how they like it.

I keep reminding people that this old, dried up raping terrorist is not “New”. He’s been molesting children for longer than he’s been a Russian Asset. He’s a serial criminal because he lives in a country whose systems and government are so complicit and criminal, he used his mobster mentor, Roy Cohn’s training and procured enough blackmail on this criming government, to make himself untouchable. Oldest trick in book. This gremlin could be raping a 7 year old on 5Th Avenue, with Congress, Scrotus, FBI, DOJ, CIA, Homeland Security watching 👀 and all any of them would say to the election stealing pedophile, is “Are you done yet.”

So is Speaker Ferret Johnson ready to swear in Adelita Grijalva now that the government is 'working" again?

Therapy session question: I somehow keep missing the live therapy sessions. I use to receive either an email or maybe a substack notification when you're live. I check substack/email at session time and don't find you. Help a sexy patriot out! I really, really, really miss the live therapy sessions. Thanks and hope to join the session today.

Note eight not a con job? don’t you know, the Dems are better at con jobs than anyone, everyone goes up to the Dems with tears in their eyes saying “sir sir sir you do con jobs so good, better than anybody, how did you make The Grocery go up so fast, oh and so high! how do you do it sir?”

Note two: You "assume" so?

Note four: Is the opening question serious?

Note five: Please check your spelling. Is her first name Mariannette, or Martinet? Nice food for thought for her as November of next year gets into view. I wonder if getting blown out of the water would upset her.

Note six: It's possible that Fetterman and his mug are what only a mother could love, but probably not his mother. It's good for him that for this fleeting instant, he's got his uncle Donnie, but there are plenty of people under buses who counted on that.

Note nine: Damn stupid mistake to have deported so many talented people.

Note 10: When you have to wait this long to find something about which to compliment Hakeem, so you can reduce your disappointment, it's not a good sign.

Note 16: Come on, ICE. If it's not too cold for those fentanyl-dealing immigrants, it's not too cold for you. Man up, BOYS.

Note 19: Is Kim's daddy still alive? Was he pleased that she got into and out of law school? Was he disappointed that she didn't pass the bar?

"Drunk asshole": He WILL live the rest of his days remembered as the human garbage he is. But he'll likely be too drunk and too stupid to realize it himself.

"Epstein's best friend": I fully understand the complaint about the eight Dem Sens who finally, after about six weeks, gave in. I thought they were right to fight, and I thought they were right to give in. You have income. So do I. We all eat every day. Some people don't. You and I are going to have to agree to disagree about this one.

"Today's clips," paragraph two: It took Donnie this long, into a second term, that was delayed by Biden's term to pardon someone who's just like Donnie? He's slipping more than even I thought he was.

"Today's clips," paragraph four: Please reassure me that Donnie won't have to spend his own $2B for this nonsensical exercise. I mean if he wants vanity projects, at least someone else should have to pay for them. You know, like me, and you, and the rest of us.

A lot of good stuff here. Can't comment in detail, as I am doing my own essay on the shutdown.
