Today's Tiedrich rant: why the fuck is an 88-count indicted criminal being allowed to sabotage US foreign policy



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/why-the-fuck-is-an-88-count-indicted

today, not-yet-fired House Speaker Holy Mike Johnson is traveling down to Donald Trump’s vermin-infested Florida golf motel. he’ll be there to get his marching orders from an 88-criminal-count diaperload who is under indictment and out on bail for stealing our nation’s most closely-guarded classified secrets and showing them off to god knows who.

it’s just another maddening day here in the United States of Have We All Gone Fucking Insane. ostensibly, Holy Mike will be at Motel-a-Lago for a “major announcement on election integrity” — whatever the fuck that means — but you know he’s also going to get an earful from Dear Leader about Ukraine and all the other bugs Donny has up his ass.

Donald Trump is running his own private foreign policy operation, undermining our national security and destabilizing the world — and we’re all left standing around, gaping in astonishment and wondering how the fuck is this even legal?



Donny has ordered the House GOP to block all aid to Ukraine. Trump wants Ukraine to lose their war because Putin wants Ukraine to lose the war — so we have a private citizen working against interests of the United States in favor of his despot snugglebunny Vlad — and we have an entire political party who is more than happy to go along with this treasonous fuckery.

Jeff Tiedrich has outdone himself today. This is just the lead in, and the rant continues on his blog, but I can't make it fit into 4 paragraphs. Please click on the OP link and read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion" - that's the title of Tiedrich's blog.

Maybe he's not counting state charges? Or maybe a few of the charges aren't felonies?

dropped four counts. DA Willis can resubmit with more clarity re: violations of the law if she wishes.

The bottom line is that republican party does not deserve to continue. It and it's members are a real threat to our country both internally and externally.

But aside from that (she said, changing the subject abruptly), does anyone else think TSF has lost weight? I've been thinking that for a while. Those baggy suit jackets he usually wears make it hard to tell, but this picture makes it pretty evident, imo.

Not that it matters, of course. He's still a liar, a conman, and a crook who is ready to sell our country to the highest bidder. He sucks just as much as ever. I just find this change in his appearance to be mildly interesting.

Slate writer Luke Winkie thinks he's on Ozempic: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/04/donald-trump-news-2024-weight-loss-ozempic.html

I have no idea what the cause is, snd I really don't care, but I definitely believe he weighs less these days.

Trouble is that there are so many photos of him floating around, there's no way to know how recent this one is.

Also this may be photo-shopped. I don't think Jeff Tiedrich would deliberate try to fool us with a 'shopped pic, but even the professionals get fooled sometimes. He needed a photo of Chump with Mike Johnson and there probably aren't too many of those available.
