The WH Press Corps are as lame as Congress. And frankly. So are a scary percentage of the American people.
Half of me is certain we will never recover from this colossal blunder. The other half is still hopeful. But we are leaving this shit storm to a generation that is woefully unprepared for the future. God help them.
What do you expect, Michele? The White House chooses which reporters get into the room now. If a reporter pushes back on Trump’s bullshit, that reporter gets removed from the pool. And most of the reporters in that room are working for pro-Trump outlets.
Yeah, which is why many of us who have trusted good, honorable journalism in the past have turned to Substack. Corporate news has thoroughly been corrupted by Trump. Not sure where or how this will play out but our democracy is at a severe risk BECAUSE the 4th Estate is afraid of Trump’s Brown Shirts. SCOTUS is to blame too.
And that, my friend, will be impossible without some kind of re-awakening of the American spirit. I admit, I am not sure what that is anymore. It may just be dead…or it will come back in some form none of us can imagine.
What a spectacular use of my native tongue JoJo. You have again described the problem - it's not Trump, it's the MAGAts he has conned. I'll sign off with my usual: FUCK 'EM
Fucking hell, Jojo! You almost made me spit out my wine (fortunately I'm a professional)! "anthropomorphic aspic" is fucking brilliant! And I lost it with, "dry-handing Edward Scissorhands behind a Pep Boys"! Keep up the good work. You are helping the rest of us stay sane. And stay sane yourself.
With all this going on, it is disgusting that you have to deal with these bullies, too! Thank you for all your good work! Plenty of people out here respect and enjoy it!!!
Brilliant as always! You do have such an amazing vocabulary when describing the rotting hunk of 💩 who sits in the Oval Office falling asleep and, according to many different accounts, stinks up the room while he loses control of his bowels.
I’m so disgusted. I never refer to him as potus or use his name — he’ll always be Felon47. It’s all just so slimy and putrid and beyond gross.
You had me hooked at the Honey Baked Ham. By the time we reached the Long Horn Steak House, I was totally under your spell. And when you said 'Thank You' I was stone broke and totally spent.
You have a lovely turn of phrase. I always enjoy reading your work! You have verbally painted the portrait of Dorian Gray for us!🤣🤣🤣. I think we are in the middle of a Weekend at Bernie’s
You are a brilliant, hyper-kinetic writer. You’re one cowgirl who knows how to channel the blues. You are seething so blisteringly, all I can offer is a virtual hug. And a thank you.
Love listening to you and I hope you can stay strong. My heart goes out to you everyday as I look thru all my post to see if there is something from you to make me smile for the first time in the day. Thank you for being you.
"decomposing meat pageant", "vaporizing Luxembourg while trying to butter a dinner roll with the TV remote". OH. MY. GOODNESS. You give us all so much to work with Jo. But whilst your commentary is amusing (brutally), it is so on point. Thank you for your posts, please be careful, I read 'bullies' … but bullies, especially the dangerous morally blind and bankrupt ones living in America, the land of the brave with entirely too many firearms, just have no concept of other people having opinions or rights. All the best.

Let us all realize there is no going back to the way things were...
It's a fool's errand to even think we could... The changes we need to make will be difficult if not impossible without Constitutional Amendments...

The problem is several layers deeper than the shitstain and his worshippers
Ewww…you first!

THIS. i didn’t realize how inarticulate i was until i read this description of our dear leader.
I always feel the same!

He should trade shoes with Little Marco - he's got room to spare in his.
I'm thinking sandals. Then his cankles will have room to "grow"?

Some of your best work, Jo. Nice finish and well done.

"Decomposing meat pageant"... 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 😁😁

I checked my receipt. I did not buy any of Trump's bullshit. He needs to stop trying to sell it.

Oh JoJo...I love you!! I haven't laughed this hard in weeks! You are so on it! Thank you! 😄😁😆😅
