Tiedrich rant: how is this fucking fuck not already in prison



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/how-is-this-fucking-fuck-not-already

Reality Winner walked off with one classified document. just one. she was arrested, jailed, denied bail, convicted and swiftly sentenced to five years in prison. no one asked her nicely to pretty please just give the document back. there were no negotiations. one document. prison.

Jack Teixeira took dozens of classified documents home and put them on a server in order to impress his dipshit gamer friends. he was arrested, denied bail, and is currently sitting in prison, awaiting trial. again, there were no negotiations. action, consequence.

Little Donny Fuckface took thousands of classified documents, hid them, pawed through them, denied he had them, claimed they belonged to him, said he’d already given them back, moved them, ignored a subpoena asking him nicely to return them, moved them again, instructed his lawyers and assistants to lie to the feds about them, kept them on his desk, wrote to-do lists on them, stashed them in the unspeakably tacky shitter of his vermin-infested Florida golf motel, took them with him when he traveled, and waved them in the faces of randos at his ratty New Jersey ex-wife cemetery.

right now, he is free on his own recognizance and able to fly around the country and stoke his deranged worshipers into a rabid frenzy. he even has his own personal hand-picked judge who is doing everything within her power to derail his trial and help him avoid consequences. and as batshit insane as all of that sounds, this week we learned about something that makes this whole sordid story a thousand times worse: Donald Trump blabbed nuclear secrets to one of his cronies.

It's another classic rant by Jeff Tiedrich. One of his best.

"Donald Trump only gives a fuck about Donald Trump. how many free passes are we going to give this menace? lock him the fuck up and throw away the fucking key — before he does any more damage."

Probably they back off because he wants to go to jail for leverage with his flock.

Think. Again.

...this jackass doesn't scare anybody.

The powers-that-be are just sitting back and laughing as he distracts us all from the real bad shit they are doing.

A) His heavily-applied makeup
B) His fancy-boy hairdo held together with 3 cans of hairspray
C) His tiny hands
D) His flabby, out-of-shape physique requiring golf carts and escalators
E) His cowardly, glass-housed name calling
F) Other?

recently I had in-depth conversations with two maggots who both have a fundamental belief that red don was a good president who did many good things, especially in the economy and immigration.

One is a highly educated pharmaceutical industry scientist, the other a neighbor who might have graduated from HS at most but is intelligent in many respects.

Both had ready responses to every fact I raised about red don--that my poiints were lies, and often part of a conspiracy to prevent red don from becoming president again. Or, things they had never heard about which means it isn't true or relevant.

Their beliefs are a complete defense against any truth changing their opinion of red don.

I recently tried to have a substantive conversation at a family get-together with a family member who is a committed magat (a retired college professor who speaks several languages fluently). He was adamant that the election was stolen, that we should complete the wall, that tfg is being persecuted politically, and that Democrats are trying to divide the nation racially. When asked directly if Republicans were doing anything divisive, he replied absolutely not, with a straight face. I excused myself to go find a drink and talk with the other guests.

It's as if they were all programmed in the same lab. I even got "why does Biden keep talking about gay rights and racism--he's just trying to divide the country" too. From the scientist, no less.

After these conversations, I now understand how this country could turn into a fascist dictatorship and, in fact, think it's likely.



P.S. I was planning to move to France but after Biden won and until a few months ago, figured that the country was unlikely to go authoritarian. Then, starting a few months ago--as soon as I bought a house in an area I liked in the U.S--things seem to be getting ugly. I'm going to give it two years, not unpack fully, and get out if things go badly.

10. We really have no idea how many randos and foreign spys he has shot his mouth off to. That's scary!

You know Putin hears everything Donnie says.

I hate to be repetitious, but why isn't he in jail?

VISUALIZE donald in jail.

Or in prison.

Either one works, and either one is worth visualizing. Hey, who knows? If enough of us do it, how could it NOT change the general overarching vibe across America?

that this guy is able to run a campaign for President, that most of the media thinks it is just a matter of course that he will be the nominee, and that our legal system can't process his crimes in a timely manner. Even worse, that the Republican party seems to ignore the problems and crimes, and supports his nomination as their candidate. We are no less vulnerable and ignorant than Germany was in the 1930's.
