Suspended. But they could still fire him. And he ended up with more than that $300k. There were two different Go Fund Me accts started for him, but he has closed both because it was too much.
Yes, & the amounts donated were small, I gave $25, which looks like an average, but I saw a lot of $5 & $10’s, so can you imagine the volume of donations? It’s so heartwarming!
Henry Ford was admired by Adolf Hitler for his anti-Semitic views and even referred to him as an inspiration in his writings, so much so that Ford was mentioned in Mein Kampf. It's built into to DNA of the company.
Bullseye, JoJo. Why did this comment get to tRumpie, because it hit the truth bullseye and he is worried that the day of pedophile reconning is coming soon. Kind of explains all the "wag the dog" military ventures abroad and incitement to violence at home. Meanwhile, he has the Injustice Department lawyers tell a federal judge that he cannot tell the "president" not to violate people's 1st Amendment Rights. Genius, it's not the judge telling you what you can't do, it's the Constitution, it's We the People." It's getting scary, but we all have to stay strong and keep the faith! Have a good night.
Overnight in her Substack, Letter from an American, historian Heather Cox Richardson, notes how tRump successfully diverted attention from the non-release of the Epstein files. Now, we all need to work to refocus attention on what Congress has ordered, "Release the Epstein files!"
While Chuck Schumer scedules bi-partison working lunches to discuss what might be done proceedurally and politely. While Hakeem Jeffreys postures so Speakerly.
Thanks for reminding us of this. When he was about 30 years old, Jerry Garcia, with Dave Grisman, formed a Grateful Dead offshoot named "Old and in the Way." I've often thought of trying to find a copy of that album and sending it to Chuck Schumer. By the way, I just turned 73, so I can't be accused of ageism. Give the younger folks a chance to pull our chestnuts out of the fire.
Old and In the Way was a fave of mine too. My son turned 60 last July and he's promised me I can always have the basement if I need a place and he is always pulling the chestnuts from the fire. I raised him well. He became a trade union negotiating rep instead of a cop.
Last I read, it was up to 800K and he closed it or asked it be closed and told people to donate to someone or something that needs it more than he does. That is a real human being folks. Speaking of PPs, seems like Little Mikey Johnson says that we have to limit the disclosures in the Epstein files so we "make sure we don't do permanent damage to the political system". In other words, the files are full of law makers? And, we don't want to hold them accountable for their actions, not when they are needed to lie and/or cover for baby trump. But we're going to pretend the Clintons are responsible for the info in the files? And even though The PP in shirtsleeves never complied with his subpoena, they will be arrested if they don't testify behind closed doors?
Today was hard. I deleted half my email as usual, but the ones left gave me a raging headache and stomach aches. I am so afraid of him using the Insurrection Act. I don't know that much about the ins and outs of it, but I'm not sure judges can save us if he does it. With the power Roberts et al gave him, at that point we're over. And the videos accompanying emails showing frozen water officers (and I use the term loosely) threatening people "you know what could happen if you don't comply" and worse. Where the bloody hell are the helpers?
My evening ended when my friend texted me that that stupid woman gave him her Nobel Prize. What a stupid cow - she handed him a PEACE prize after he invaded her country and killed civilians! Irony must be dead folks. Or in serious condition at the very least.
Jo, did your dad work at Picatinny Arsenal? I was telling my mom about the ice in Morristown and then your dad and she said he must have worked there.
As to Johnson's malignant comment, Trump and MAGA have already done permanent damage to our political system. And she gave him the prize after The Nobel Committee made clear that the award is specific and can't be shared or donated. AND, the Coast Guard has again tonight attacked Venezuelan vessels. It's like a malignant Alice in Wonderland, isn't it.
Do I even want to know why we are still attacking Venezuelan ships? Probably not. Just watched a video by Jess Craven about a boy in California who was protesting ice killing Renee and he was assaulted by them, they shot him in the eye and now he's blind in that eye. I almost fainted! I felt myself getting very lightheaded. That never happened before! Is that what it even feels like? I'm going to cuddle my cat now. He never does anything to hurt me except sleep on my head and even that shows me he loves me!
Machado has now demonstrated she was not worthy of the Nobel. Her caving and scraping to Trump’s pathologically level greed and self aggrandizement show her to be unworthy of the honor. Too bad they cannot revoke it.
I agree, mostly. I think she's concerned with protecting her country against his fervor in destroying Venezuelan vessels. There have been what, now- four? So I see this effort as defense of her country and a plea for peace. So sad.
Hi Debby- there is an article on Huffpost right now by a therapist that helps people understand how all of us who saw this coming can process being correct while everyone was telling us we were nuts. I can't add the link for some reason, but Huffpost is free. I highly recommend everyone on here take a look. It really helped me put things in perspective. Here is an excerpt-
“My clients who were ringing the alarm bells early felt they were trying to protect the fabric of this country, their neighbors and themselves. Although they are being validated in the news now, I think there’s a sense of anger, grief and frustration that they weren’t taken seriously to begin with,” Tihinen said. “There’s a sense of, ‘How did it have to get this bad for others to see how dangerous this administration is?’”
Hey Bronx, thank you for the link. This article is so good. This is me to a T:
"Guenther agrees, coming right for our collective “doomscrolling” habit. “We have to talk about doomscrolling. You feel like you’re staying informed, but you’re actually just keeping your brain in a state of high-intensity trauma,” he said. “You’re trying to gain a sense of control by consuming information, but the algorithm is designed to keep you terrified and hooked, not empowered.”
That is why I've been deleting some email. And I've been feeling guilty for doing it!
Oh good, the link went through. I identified with a lot of what he said. I think it would help a lot of people on here. It sure helped me. I bet it would help our goddess JoJo too!
Machado is a fool. Just proven herself to be as cowardly and pathetic as everyone who curries favor with a madman. He has her medal. He can pose and preen with it And tell himself and his minions he actually “won” it. Machado tarnished her award. Disgracefull affront to the Nobel.
It makes it difficult to envision her as a strong leader for Venezuela. She literally knelt down and gave the bully that will never support her the most prestigious prize which he coveted and would never rightfully deserve or be awarded. It did not buy her respect. It won’t keep him from pillaging Venezuela.
Isn't it rich that MAGA lost their minds when the Minnesota mayor said "Get the F..k out of our city!" but they celebrate their orange leader saying it twice and flipping the bird. Such hypocrisy!
Thanks Jo! Last I read he'd had two GFMs and together they raised about $800K. The closed them both with the encouragement to donate to some other worthy cause. So, good on him!
Trumpenstein can go shit a brick in his golden toilet.
I say it with every one of your columns: I love you, JoJo from Jerz! You beautifully, delightfully, voice our (my) frustrations perfectly, take away the sting of the pain he's inflicting, help us remember we're right and not alone. I hope you get a Nobel Prize.
I think the Donald is losing it. His many sycophants, including the Republicans and the other parasites hanging onto MAGA’s teat, the Project 2025 fascists and the Nazis, are all freaking out because they know that they only have a limited amount of time to continue looting, plundering, raping and destroying the country. These Putin-adjacent politicians, corporations and cronies are desperate to squeeze every last ounce of juice out of our country. We are in a moment of great danger.
The people are rising up and supporting each other in magnificent ways, large and small. We will prevail, but these coming days will try all of us severely. We MUST hang together and keep fighting. Even if the fascist monster invokes the Insurrection Act, we have to keep pushing back harder and harder. We will enact Justice upon the perpetrators of these horrific crimes, from the top down, when we regain power.
Thus the $500 million in Venezuelan oil money stashed away in an offshore account in Quatar..... rainy day fund for a deposed president. But I doubt he'll share it with his parasites.
I love that you write this all so clearly. "Little Balls" the old demented monster, deserves the best person to write about his descent into dementia and miserable old age. This monster is rotting from within, hope it ramps up sooner rather than later. We don't wish this old MFKer well,,,,
After I read of this incident at the Ford plant, I read that idiot Donnie said "well, I have Detroit and Michigan". Huh????? Does he mean Dearborn, the center of Palestinian activity in the Detroit area??? Does he mean Sabula who said two words which totally unhinged him, and who clearly said he didn't give a shit about his comment; that he'd do it again? Does he mean all of the auto workers, farmers, and other working class people in Michigan who have been totally ignored and crapped on?? Does he mean the Democratic governor who hates everything about him??? (And he tried to have her kidnapped a few years ago. Guess that didn't work). I've from Detroit, and know that there are large areas north of the city that are Trumpland, no doubt. But Detroit is also and always has been a tough city with strong unions (everything he hates) and the ability to guess what??? Give him the finger right back. How classy of him, as the leader of the US, to say "fuck you" and raise the middle finger to an AMERICAN, like a common guy off of the street. Wow, really is impressive. Now how about if that guy had been a Hispanic or Arab? Deport time?
Seems the Tangerine-Cinderella has way too thin skin. No one flips “a bird” when called a pedophile protector if they AREN'T a pedophile protector. If the shoe fits, wear it, The clock is ticking for those Epstein files. How many weeks late, since all were due December 19th,2025
T.J. has closed down his GoFundMe he expressed thanks but it’s more than enough think around $800k. Said if you want to donate please donate to other causes that need it more than himself. Want to know who else did the same thing - Renee Good’s wife
Believe it or not Johnathan Ross the ICE shooter has a GoFundMe page as well he’s still collecting it’s at $750k -
Man, your post was like grabbing his balls with icy cold hands. Shrinkage, just like his brain. As a writer, I adored this part;
"It felt exactly like flipping off his stupid flags every time I drive through my aggressively red part of New Jersey, that pure, involuntary reflex where your arm shoots up before your brain has time to negotiate with manners or survival."
Hell, I think we're all done with fucking manners ✊🏼💙 and the time for negotiating is OVA!
“If you can sneer and flip off a working American for daring to speak, that tells us exactly what you think of all Americans.” This belongs on a billboard. What an astounding line from yet another fantastic work. Thanks
I know just what you mean, JoJo, about writing nasty comments about trump to make yourself feel better. My favorite taunt to toss out is demented rapist felon and it always improves my mood. He is just the worst, most unimaginably horrid person and he hates that so many if us think that. He knows he's going down in flames, and his knowledge brings me huge joy.
Suspended. But they could still fire him. And he ended up with more than that $300k. There were two different Go Fund Me accts started for him, but he has closed both because it was too much.
In total he received over $800,000.00. That is impressive, it shows how many people agree with him.
Yes, & the amounts donated were small, I gave $25, which looks like an average, but I saw a lot of $5 & $10’s, so can you imagine the volume of donations? It’s so heartwarming!
I did, too! Always ready to help a Union brother or sister in their time of need. Union strong! 👊
And fuck Ford for suspending him. I guess Ford Motor Co. doesn’t believe in the First Amendment
Henry Ford was admired by Adolf Hitler for his anti-Semitic views and even referred to him as an inspiration in his writings, so much so that Ford was mentioned in Mein Kampf. It's built into to DNA of the company.
Yes, that is the amount I saw too.
Over $800,000 in the Go fund Me

That was horrendous. Unforgivable. Inhumane.
"Cruel and Unusual," I'd say.

I gather Norway is none too pleased either. Countdown to how many days until it is in his official biography. Less than a month for sure.
It makes it difficult to envision her as a strong leader for Venezuela.

Perhaps he should insert it where the sun doesn't shine?
Debby, you are right to be concerned about the use of the Insurrection Act. The amount of chaos and injustice the use of this act is immeasurable.
Isn't it rich that MAGA lost their minds when the Minnesota mayor said "Get the F..k out of our city!" but they celebrate their orange leader saying it twice and flipping the bird. Such hypocrisy!
