Perhaps this piece is not for the family section of the newspaper, but I am glad you acted as if you might be covered in the family section while cheering for your kids. Let us know if they got a hit or 2 by the way
One thing, though, ma'am, I growing up middle class never dreamed that any trust fund baby would whine about ANY FUCKING thing EVER. EVER. And his whineathons are getting FUCKING obnoxious and even more predictable! Keep keeping us posted, Jo!
With all this talk about fire, all I can say, JoJo, is that I wish I were a smoker, because if I were, my cigarette lighter would be held aloft with the flame adjusted to "torch" in your honor. 😁
Yeah he, and his lackeys, INSTANTLY grifted off this "assassination attempt" (some guy was found in bushes, as Elie Mystal put it). They stridently ignore the fact that the shooters have both been right wing nut jobs, wherein it'd be implausible that they were inspired by any "hateful rhetoric" of Harris. Also cracks me up that part of their defense of this position is that "he's been called a Nazi, and an enemy of democracy!" And I'm thinking, "right, I hear you... that'd be the Truth. But now, get to the "hateful rhetoric" part."("Hateful rhetoric" implies making shit up). Obviously meanwhile he and his mini-me are clearly causing Hell in Springfield, Ohio by their actual hateful rhetoric (wherein they have made shit up). Yeah at little league games and such, I leave those controversial conversations alone... even though it's plain this other person knows you're a lib and just wanted you to admit some sympathy for the pig. I get that all the time; they are shameless about touting Trump but once anybody says what they feel about the guy, they get extremely butt hurt. It's just not the way of the normal world. Another nice article, Joanne. Thanks.
Happens to me too. They've always got surprised looks on their face when I tell them I don't have 1 fuck to give that lunatic. Shock, clutching pearls, and giving me that "Oh no" look. It's hilarious. I just stand there smiling at them like I hit the lottery or something. LOL
I call him the devil incarnate. Beatification should be reserved for people who are truly friends of the poor, the sick, the demonized, for people who are being assaulted for the color of their skin. This animal should not be given a standing among humans - he is soulless and represents evil and hate at depths not seen since the Hitler era.
Catharsis Jo. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Your words are a perfect description of that worthless Orange Pussy Grabber. We need to pick up every rock we see for the fight ahead. Donate, call, check on friends registrations, write post cards, anything, everything to put a stake through his heart.
It’s on all of us to never stop, never give up until the MAGAt is finally finished.
You say everything as it should be told. God help America if that orange sociopathic scumbag gets elected. That goes with the spineless Supreme Court also. Great post 👍
We have to keep our eyes on the ball. He and mini Donold want to distract us from HIS horrendous debate, his racist attacks on Haitians, Project 2025 and the dismal polls.
It’s our jobs to keep reminding everyone about these issues. We also need to tag every Republican candidate for office with these same issues. If they don’t repudiate Donold and his policies, then they own them as well.
You are so good at expressing “the wrongness” in words. I also admire your ability to take that triggering moment at the little league game and repackage the rage into an articulate and assertive statement- calm solid strong. 💪 ❤️
Feel sorry!??! Fuck that! If she wants to feel sorry for somebody, how about the people in Springfield whose lives have been disrupted by Cheetolini's latest political stunt. You showed amazing restraint. Let's hope that my fellow Ohioans make Shitgibbon and Jethro Dull (Stole that one from Stephanie) pay for their bullshit on Nov. 5.
So good of you to respond the way you did. You laid it out in a way the got the point across. That being said, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall if you had to said, down to every last detail, what you were really thinking. I just love the way you put your thoughts down with descriptors that really get to the heart of the matter.
Excellent graphic writing. Your words placed my mind into overdrive. The Penice from my next confession could be harsh; but may God bless you with a position in President Harris's inner circle.
Jo, it is absolutely amazing that you were able to bite your tongue. With all the possible answers that were running through your mind at the time and not actually saying them, I will wager that your tongue is quite swollen! You are a gem in the rough and I am glad I found your Substack. Most readers probably think you just write what you are thinking as it pops into your head. But, I for one, can see you put a lot of thought into pieces and organize them in a truly cohesive manner. I never have any doubts or confusion about what you are trying to say to us. There have been times I have taken snippets of your writings and put them on my Facebook page (always giving you credit, of course). Don’t stop please because people need to hear what you say in the language they most often use in their everyday language. Thank you for what you do.

All I can say is I hope the third time is the charm.
I didn't read or love your comment just now. If anybody asks.
A charmed life, as they say. New book out tomorrow; Lucky Loser by Susan Craig - could be a good one.
Oh yeah! I want to get that. Thanks for the reminder. Great title.
That phrase has crossed my mind a time or three. I’m trying to listen to my better angels, but it’s hard.
My very thought!

Smoke pot!
Or, poke smot 😁

The only place we can deal with this lowlife is at the polls. Otherwise, he will be beatified. Saint Donald cannot be.

Pedal to the metal everyone!
You have the ability to read every thought in my mind and turn those thoughts into precise and eloquent analysis of our politics today.
You are so good at expressing “the wrongness” in words. I also admire your ability to take that triggering moment at the little league game and repackage the rage into an articulate and assertive statement- calm solid strong. 💪 ❤️
Let's not forget that this recent incident took place in a state in which it is legal for the mentally ill to purchase any weapon without question.
And when the #MAGAmessiah is concerned, every accusation is a confession.

Press secretary Jojo? That'd be pretty amazing.
JoJo from Jersey sparing with Peter Doofus, what a match up; brains and beauty vs. 😵💫.
You are my spirit animal 🤘🏼🖤
