seized and confiscated...sold at government auctions with proceeds going to BLM and Muslim and Hispanic cultural centers...I want pre-sentencing community service hours cleaning ICE detention centers and covid ICUs (no mask, no gloves)..I want him homeless, sleeping in a cage and pooping in a bucket...and only then do I want him thrown in a maximum security prison for the criminally insane

and more oriented toward keeping innocent people safe.

I want him locked up in maximum security with lots of solitary confinement ans above all without a phone (but I want all his accounts closed just in case. And no visitors (I'm hoping anyone who would even think of wanting to visit him can also be locked up.

Yes, I realize solitary is rough on prisoners' mental health. That's OK. He doesn't have any.

After all his shit fuckery is beat down, and it is law that he is done, defeated, a loser, around the middle of November. Will he stay until January and burn the whole thing down, or, will he resign, claim corruption is why he lost and have Pence pardon him? I believe he would like to stay in public view with his KKKlan And Fux news priming his ego, but, all the State crimes and Feds after his corrupt cash haul, he may HAVE to head to Moscow.

Not sure Barr will work for free on a losing case or 10, he may (should) be on his own get outta jail cases. Feel sure Cohen is not available.

and that's why he's holding on...never ending subpoenas, trials, convictions, multimillion dollar payouts, nationwide humiliation...Trump is a depraved narcissistic sociopath with zero cognitive awareness...he believes in his "magnificence" and because he is a vile masochist he has this visceral need to hurt the "nothings" that are blind to his "greatness"... he will be punished but he will never understand why...

This wasn't even one of his wittier ones, and it's still pretty great. Someone should start a GFM page for him.

I'm sure you are familiar with Jeff and I think he deserves a DU Madcademy Award.....

Here's a bio page I found since he's not in Wikipedia: https://celebidentity.com/jeff-tiedrich

Apparently, he keeps a Patrion account via a link on his Twitter page: https://celebidentity.com/jeff-tiedrich

I've been supporting him through his internet liberal news and blog site, The Smirking Chimp: http://www.smirkingchimp.com/

Jeff has lifted my spirits out of the shitter on many a day........

Smirking Chimp has been around for awhile! It's one of the sites that's survived since the bush/cheney days.

to get support for Smirking Chimp.

For some odd reason, it took me forever to find DU and I hung around HuffPo, TruthOut, Smirking Chimp, BuzzFeed, Crooks & Liars, All Hat No Cattle and several others from about Y2000 on, but I never joined-in like I have with DU.

Finding DU earlier would have saved me a lot of emotional misery during the Bush years, as I love the community here.

Went looking around on the net for something... anything... that, if not making me feel better, then at least letting me know I wasn't alone in how I felt about it.

I found a site called "Resident Bush." Now THAT'S something that I could agree with. Because I recognized that dubya would INDEED be, quite literally, a resident of the White House.

I looked around in that new site, and liked what I saw. Then I noticed the left-hand margin was full references and links to other sites along the same lines. The top one was Democratic Underground. I went there to check it out, and I never looked back. Found my new home.

I don't know if Resident Bush is still around. I went looking recently and didn't find anything. But wherever it is, and whoever its founder is, I am and will always be EXTREMELY grateful!
