I took a news break yesterday afternoon so your update caught me up on what I missed. Always better to read with humor than without.

Snoozie Viles is a shitbag

Snoozie Viles is a sycophant

Snoozie Viles is an enemy of the people

Snoozie Viles does not deserve sympathy but a route to incarceration

Susie speaking the truth. What is this world coming to???? Is someone else going to be fired? The WH can't have anyone telling the truth. It would go against their principals.

The 🍊 asshole really did it, this time. He overflowed the Hoover Dam of bullshit that he's maintained for months, with his vile comments about Rob Reiner.

I said it yesterday: Donny-boy Jr better stop doing lines long enough to search out a secluded, unmarked spot to plant the orange fucker when he finally kicks-off. Otherwise the lines to piss on the grave will be miles long for years.

And as usual, Mike little Johnson proved that actually, he has no Johnson at all. Or balls. He's just a genitalia-impaired Ken doll Dildo, for the personal use of the Dear leader.

And Susie-Q must be ready for a kick in the ass from the 🍊 fucker, because that Vanity Fair article will go over like a fart in church, once Herman Goering Miller whispers into the Leader's ear.

Just what context could any of her remarks been stated in that would make them seem like compliments? I read those quotes. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig... and trying to cover up what she said by saying that her comments were taken out of context???? What context? When she complained about the "context" - she should have tried to provide the context where you bash everyone you work with and tell them they are compliments (nothing personal)... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think Susie will not be lasting long or they will shove her back in her cave and lock the cave door.... like they did with Tulsi Gabbard when she royally effed up! She's still getting her paycheck, but you NEVER see her in the media any more.... If only we could do that with drumpfy!

We could significantly reduce the national debt by selling opprtunities to piss on his grave. Bit of poetic justice, right?

Absolutely wild that the White House chief of staff just casually admited all the quiet parts out loud to Vanity Fair. The bit about Bondi giving influencers binders of nothingnesss is peak incompetence on display. I dunno if Susie thought being honest would make her look better or if she just stopped caring about the facade entirely.

I think it's just a bitch fight (apologies to bitches, some of my best friends) between the old whore and the new whore. A cage match, if you will. The young one with the machine gun lips is going to win. No contest.

Or she has a better offer and she's on her way out anyway! I think she has a better offer... because if she doesn't - and I think she's about to get fired - then she's a bigger fool than I thought she was.

Re Wiles, wondering if she was bragging or complaining, & her hubris is showing, if she isn’t just that stupid.

So I wish the Port Authority cops would have asked this Eager Beaver if the assailant was in the scene right now.

Whiskey Pete is a gleeful fucking murderer

I find it striking that she criticized Bondi so harshly. I don’t think she’d say that unless Bondi’s losing favor with Trump.

Note seven: There's no such thing as "Spinal Tap" fans. There are Chris Guest fans. All of his movies are great, although "Best in Show" is the best. But thanks for the heads up about the sequel. It's too bad I don't watch TV.

Notes 10 and 14: Jr getting married, and Kash having a girlfriend are equally insane. Those women can call me for therapy.

Note 15: You tell 'em, Mikey. You don't have time or interest for this nonsense, because you're working on health care for all Americans. By the way, how's that going? Thus far, we don't have health care for any Americans. But you don't have to say a word. I already know. Biden is blocking the whole effort. That elderly, skinny little guy, who's demented and can't walk and chew gum at the same time, calls all the shots in a country in which all three branches of government oppose him. And he's not in any elected or appointed office. He's lucky if he's not incontinent. But it's constantly Biden this and Biden that.

You mean Suzie ex-Q. The clown and the rest of the circus won't put up with anyone who spills beans.

"Today's clips," paragraph two: It was a fender-bender. That could be interpreted as an assault. He's a federal employee, and he carries a gun for his job. What else should he do besides shoot someone?

"Today's clips," paragraph three: I didn't bother with the linked article, but your summary didn't mention how many of those released were later picked back up for other crimes. It's almost like those releases weren't carefully thought out. The clown sort of says that. He explains a number of them as based on something someone else told him he should do.

"Today's clips," paragraph five: I'm assuming that this, too, was someone else's call. The buck will stop somewhere, but it won't be with the clown, Passed Out Pete, Mikey, or anyone like that.

It says that approximately 10 Jan 6ers have been re-arrested for crimes unrelated to Jan. 6 - but I know that it is higher, because I was tracking it earlier this year and it was at 10 within like 60 - 90 days of the pardon... and I've seen more news on more of them being sent back to prison. Here are some of the crimes they were convicted off post pardon:

(Internet AI) - "The subsequent charges include serious crimes such as:

Plotting to murder FBI agents (Edward Kelley)

Child sexual assault and possession of child sexual abuse material (Theodore Middendorf, David Daniel, and Andrew Taake, the latter of whom remains at large)

Reckless homicide while driving drunk (Shane Woods, in a case that occurred before his pardon but resulted in sentencing afterward)

Illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (Daniel Ball and Jeremy Brown)

Home invasion and theft (Zachary Alam)

Grand theft and possession of stolen property (Brent John Holdridge, related to copper wire theft)

In one fatal incident, a pardoned Jan. 6 participant, Matthew Huttle, was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop after allegedly resisting arrest and being in possession of a firearm."

I've made no attempt to keep track or count them, but it comes up surprisingly often. As you say, even if it was only 10 in the first 2-3 months, they continue to get nabbed.

I found my tracking and it was from February 6 - so not even a couple of weeks!

These are not good people. No surprise there. We have to rein in the presidential pardon power. No pardons of adjudicated felons ever again.

It sounds weird to say, but I wish the clown, and the people who tell him what to do, had been right. The fact that they were as wrong as they were has cost more lives. Although perhaps we could assume that the people they released were loser criminals, and would have done the same wrong and criminal things even after they had served the sentence they were given. I don't think any of the J6ers were given life without parole, so they were going to be back on the streets at some point anyway.

Really good stuff here - best line “Note two: You’re not gonna believe this, but the guy with all the bankruptcies fucked up the economy. The U.S. economy lost more than 41,000 jobs in October and November (+64k in November), and the unemployment rate is now up to 4.6 percent. At least his personality sucks. More: NPR”

Did this interview occur before or after the White House event where Trump named her Susie Trump and said her thoughts and his were identical, and even implied SHE, not he, had control of the nuclear codes?
