SO SAD! CHICAGO'S "HERO" MAYOR JOHNSON JUST TOLD DONNY FASCISTPANTS TO STICK HIS POLICE STATE WHERE THE SUN "DON'T SHINE"! JOHNSON WON'T COMPLY WITH SMELLY DICTATOR DONNY. BOO HOO HOO! MANY ARE THANKING YOUR FAVORITE WRITER, JEFF TIEDRICH (ME!) FOR HIS POST ABOUT IT, WHICH IS HERE —> bit.ly/4lTj5kq

the poet Carl Sandburg famously described Chicago as the ‘City of the Big Shoulders.’ he also called it ‘Hog Butcher for the World, Tool maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation’s Freight Handler.’ if old Carl were writing that poem today, he’d have to add a new line — because Chicago has now become the City of Go Fuck Yourself, Donny Convict. oh look — America’s Mad King isn’t the only person who gets to sign executive orders. The mayor of Chicago has signed an order detailing how the city will resist a potential immigration crackdown threatened by the Trump administration. “We do not need nor want an unconstitutional and illegal military occupation of our city,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat. The order directs city agencies on how to respond to possible immigration enforcement actions. do not fuck with the Hog Butcher for the World, Donny. they’re busy Stacking Wheat and Making Tools. they don’t have time for your fascist bullshit. good for the mayor. he’s making plans. he sees what’s going on in DC, and what went on in Los Angeles, and he’s getting all proactive. most importantly, Mayor Johnson has ordered the Chicago Police Department not to aid and abet Donny’s storm troopers.

Sourdough bread has been baked for at least 2500 years. The fluffy bread made with bleached white flour (like Wonderbread) was first introduced in 1921. So which is traditional and "normal." It's a bit hard to justify labeling a product first developed by the ancient Egyptians as "woke."

THE CORPORATE "MEDIA" SEEMS UNCONCERNED THAT DING-DONG-DEMENTO DONALD TRUMP (IS HE ALIVE?) HAS BEEN HIDING FROM THEM FOR FIVE DAYS. WHY DOES THE COUCHFUCKER KEEP TELLING US HE'S READY TO TAKE OVER? NO ONE ASKED YOU, BRO. YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) EXPLORES THIS IN HIS LATEST POST —> bit.ly/4lTj5kq

Donny’s been virtually missing in action for days. he’s been avoiding the press — he hasn’t spoken with them since his cabinet meeting last Tuesday. that’s really bizarre behavior from the attention hog who generally can’t go a single day without gibbering like a loon to a roomful of reporters. yesterday, he was photographed leaving the White House, on his way to his Virginia golf motel — but he didn’t stop to talk to the press. so what the fuck is going on? why is Donny in hiding? what is the White House not telling us? why does Couchfuck McGee feel the need to reassure everyone that he’s totally prepared to step into Donny’s demented shoes? above all, why is our media so unconcerned about this? these are the same people who would shit a brick if Joe Biden went two days without talking to them. Donny — who never shuts the fuck up — has now gone silent for five days, and not one reporter seems interested in what should be a major story. in fact, they all pretty much orgasmed on the spot over yesterday’s photo of Donny gingerly shuffling towards his waiting limo. they fell all the fuck over each other in a mad dash to assure everyone that Donny was still alive.

Make Sure Everyone Knows 😊💙 HOLY S**T look at this: Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott just quietly disclosed stock trades a year late – worth $26 MILLION – on companies HE LEGISLATED. 😳 This is corrupt to its core, and he's hoping no one will notice. You know what to do.

What our government is doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a vile, racist, cruel, and inhumane disgrace. No Christian, let alone, decent human being can justify this. And if you’re trying to, you’re the problem here.

Day 8 of Covid. I would encourage everyone to do everything in their power to protect themselves. I’ve had Covid several times. The first case was awful & the other 2 were much more mild. This is definitely more like the first one. It’s insidious. I still have fever, testing positive & a bad cough.🙏

Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank

Mass transit is not a blue or red issue and it’s not an individual county issue. This is a Pennsylvania issue. When transit services don’t receive fair and equitable funding, we all feel the impact as the southeast sees service cuts beginning today.

This constant drama with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the utter refusal by the Regime to just admit they fucked up and leave him alone is a perfect distillation of how incompetent and cruel they are.

Referring to yourself in the third person is weird. Saying you are always right is dishonest. Wearing a ball cap in the Oval Office is tacky. Using your left hand to cover up medical issues on your right hand is concerning. And has he stopped being able to tie a tie?
