When ever I encounter those questionnaires "do you trust Trump" I always want to respond

"YES I TRUST HIM TO ALWAYS DO THE WRONG THING"

Cliff Schecter's avatar

That would honestly be the perfect answer. Like George Costanza doing opposite day on Seinfeld, if you do the opposite of Trump, you know it will work out.

DJT feels a kinship to Iran’s negotiation positions. He understands protection money.

That is all he’s ever understood. Doesn’t matter what dialect in what country, it’s the international language of Mobster

Booze is cheaper than gas.

Drink don’t drive.

Cliff! So pumped you replied. Most big shot Substackers do not.

I cannot take credit. This was a meme that showed a city traffic jam with a green sign like you see on roadways and that bit I posted was in the sign as if road instructions.

I hope you laughed. I worry about you and other prolific Substackers. Take care. ~~~ Jeanne e.

Jeanne sorry, I jut saw this kind response to my response! Anyone who thinks they're such a "big shot" they shouldn't reply needs to rethink life a bit. We're all here for the same purpose. I just truly appreciate when folks take the time to comment. I've messed up in the past just bc I've been so busy but what is more important than communicating with your supporters? I'd rather do this than a lot of paperwork I have do much of the day :)

PS Soon we're starting a Live just for our paid subscribers so we can be even more interactive---so how about becoming a paid community member? You get that perk, others we're adding, and you're part of our solution to this problem, because you help us keep doing this. Thank you for considering, Jeanne. https://www.blueamp.co/subscribe

No Don’t Leave Substack !!

Cliff Schecter's avatar

I am not leaving, I promise! Just getting annoyed at some things I think are easy fixes, that haven’t been fixed

Hi Cliff and Joe I love the name of your format tequila talk I was so happy that Orbon got his clock cleaned now if we can only do it here maybe that will make it a little easier to get rid of this orange monster

Cliff Schecter's avatar

Sorry I am so late to this, Jeffrey! So glad you like the show and the name! Please keep watching! And please consider becoming one of our paid community members, as that is what allows us to keep doing shows like Tequila Talk! https://www.blueamp.co/subscribe

Hi Jeffrey, I just saw you became paid! THANK YOU! It's so crucial in helping us continue to do this work, even ramp up. For Paid Community Members, we're rolling out private zooms, a video series on what I saw in school w Epstein Class types (naming names) + other perks. Tell us if there's anything that jumps out at you--if doable, we'll do it! I so appreciate you. Cliff

Never in the history of our republic have we been subjected to the dictates of someone totally devoid of the barest shred of remorse

Cliff Schecter's avatar

Nope. Aaron Burr tried to get there, he may have qualified. And perhaps Andrew Johnson did get there and lacked all remorse and empathy, among other traits. But they scared the crap out of him with that bare-miss impeachment vote. Plus modern tech makes Trump more dangerous

The stupid is incomprehensible. Do you realize the chaos we are in cannot even be called chaos? It’s not even a disruption of what WAS BEFORE….. it’s its own monster altogether. Totally fucked up.

Cliff Schecter's avatar

Yes, they pile chaos on top of chaos, bc that’s Trump’s malignant narcissism. He’d rather things are blowing up and ppl are talking about him than quiet. We are all living in his nightmarish world right now

is the same Joe Walsh I saw in concert in 1976 KC?

Cliff Schecter's avatar

I believe more likely the same one I saw in concert around 5 yrs ago. Life has been good to him so far

Jeffrey Brosig's avatar

The Joe walsh formerly of the James Gang and the eagles is older than Joe walsh on this program by around 30 years

Please don’t put paywalls up. It’s great that some people can afford it.

But, most of the people are barely making it

And there has never been a more important time to inform people about what is happening to our country. The facts not the spin.

And I applaud your efforts to save our democracy.

There is an easy way for your platform on Substack to also appear on YouTube. Just a few steps ask around.

Cliff Schecter's avatar

So far I have paywalled nothing. But I’ll paywall “entertainment,” like paid subs getting to ask Qs, interact, etc.

I work here 60+ hrs per week…I need to make a living. If I can do it w no paywalling I will, and I”ll never paywall news. But if I don’t get more paid subs, I’ll paywall entertainment..just as you pay to go to a movie.

Mare Stone's avatar

Perhaps they are overloaded and in this company’s employees are all talking saying 2 different things.

Here ya go. . .

HEY SUBSTACK COMPANY OR CEO FIX THESE ISSUES PLEASE BECAUSE YOUR LIKELY TO GET BUSIER WITH MORE INDEPENDENT NEWS PODCASTS . . . .

SO KINDLY GET IT TOGETHER 💕❗️

New Jersey race went great yesterday

Cliff Schecter's avatar

Yup, it's a constant now, I think. It's why we have to be ready to do what it takes to ensure as fair a vote as possible.Because then we'll crush him

“I have concluded that Brina Knauss is NOT Epstein and Melania’s baby. Melania and Paulo Zampolli are Brina’s parents. I went down the wrong hole, but did leave it open it open. I am now convinced that Melania and Zampolli had Brina in 1990 and NOT 1985. I am working on my new Substack this afternoon. Amanda’s story has not been published yet on El Pais. Thanks for your thoughts. To be continued… Mark.”
