The debacle in the oval yesterday was tragic, terrifying and beyond belief. A collection of traitors and an El Salvador crime boss. It’s a fucking nightmare. Keep up the good work Jo. ❤️💪

Unbelievable. I never thought that Hitler and Stalin would ever happen again in my lifetime. I thought humanity saw the lesson and would be permanently disgusted with the cruelty to other human beings. It is not happening with this filth of scumbag Oligarchs and their purchased politicians. They are the true problem.

I wish there was a living relative of Abraham Lincoln. I would love for that person to sue the Republican Party for defamation. Calling themselves the party of Lincoln defames him. He was 180 degrees different than these magats. He believed in most of the things they oppose.

In a way we are all Lincoln's relatives. I'm pretty sure he would really get a kick out of today's piece. We would have to bring him up to speed, but he was a pretty quick study. A lot has changed in the last eight score and that, in no small measure, was due to him.

Jo you are so amazing in your mastery and articulation of the English language to metaphorically and succinctly blast the ass off the brainwashed maggots.

You are an inspiration to all of us and may God bless you and your family always! Stay strong always in what and how you want to say it!

That bullshit in the Oval was infuriating! The plan is to go after American citizens next. I'm afraid that civil remedies aren't going to cut it. I want 10 minutes in a locked room with that fucking Salvadoran warlord cosplaying as a President. I hate to think this, but Mr. Garcia is probably already dead. This is pure evil. And it must be defeated by any means necessary. AND I MEAN ANY!!😡😡😡

Be well and safe and hug the kids for me.

The congressional shrunken heads are doing nothing to save the country. Trump is running rampant and nobody seems to care enough to stop him. Hope he has a tragic ending.

We don’t want him to die a martyr. They already want to name stuff after him. Hell no!

I don't care how and when he dies. He just needs to do so really fast! They'll make him a martyr regardless.

The way you sling the lingo, sister, has me thinking you're the Maureen Dowd of your generation. My boomer contemporaries find you too profane. Not me. WTF, go with it.

If JoJo’s profanity offends them, what does the felon and his flunkies do? I think the expletives are empowering, fuck that regime!

I'm a boomer and I ADORE her. I tend to think of her as a modern Molly Ivins. Maureen has lost the thread a time or seven. Molly never did.

Jo, I am 84 yrs old and rarely use a “4 letter word”. Thank you so much for doing it for me in such a clever, insightful and original way. Though some of the explicits

escape me, the humor is appreciated and breaks the cycles of anger and anxiety! 🙏❤️for you and our country!

Constitution????? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING CONSTITUTION!!!! This is the same breed of outlaws in charge of our government and worse than in the movie Blazing Saddles. They are more like Hitler's Brownshirts and Nazis and much eviler and vile. How do they. and their children intend to live among us when this sorts itself out???? I am already shunning them. Christians??? St Peter is going to be pissing lit gasoline on them all when they croak.

What's Cleavon Little doing these days? (I assume since Mel is still here most of the cast is as well?) Maybe we could convince Mel to work up a modern version?

Sorry to pick Jo, but I think you misspelled "owners" there.

“We’re way past ‘break glass in case of emergency’—we are now at ‘throw the glass, the fire extinguisher, and your neighbor’s emotional support ferret at the problem and pray to whatever gods you’ve got.”

Yes, I think that sums it up nicely.

Thanks for another writing that almost captures my anger and wish for an immediate end to this asshole dictator and all of his minions.

That song brightened my evening, and we all need a little more of that. Your writing is great but leaves me melancholy. Of course. But, better days are ahead. I just know it.

Ten-foil hat tutorials. Aaaaaaaahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 Didn't the kids in that movie start that? These people are acting like children who don't know right from wrong. 🙄 And how TF did you find that song? 😆 You're amazing, lil lady!

As for what I heard over that hot mic, yeah we've lost the country. Have to get it back somehow.
